Should Trickster and Billy be able to walk faster while using their ability ?

That's basically the problem of both killers and why they are so weak.

You can't use your power most times at high loops, or square tall loops, because you don't see the survivors or don't even have a chance to do a mindgame.

Think about McMillan for a moment: Single pallets, tall jungle gyms, big tall rock loops; there's a ######### you can do.

    No billy needs to walk faster, because that's the way you make him viable at pallet mindgames

    Usually, experienced Hillbillies are "curving" around corners or getting too close to the survivor and then starting to charge his chainsaw.

    i think trickster. he also need a speed buff. he is just too weak to be that slow.

    Billy is by no means a weak killer, and he needs no buffs.

    The overheat mechanic wasn't so much a nerf to his power level as it was a frustrating annoyance. I'm not arguing that the overheat mechanic is good, I'd give my left nut to see it removed, but Billy is still easily one of the most powerful killers on the roster. He can easily win at red ranks with no gen slowdown perks, which almost no other killers can do. Granted, there's a lot of qualifiers to that claim (he needs a map that can compliment his mobility, a coordinated team can still make mincemeat of him) but calling billy weak is flat out wrong.

    Billy just needs his base kit nerfs reverted and he's good.

    Trickster on the other hand desperately needs help and this would be a good START to the buffs.

    Billy has a ton of pallet mindgames available to him that other killers don't. Feathering your chainsaw at pallets, hitting curves, or sometimes even just strolling through a pallet with a revved saw can get hits or even chainsaws that other killers can only dream of.

    Tricksters need def a... at least to his "main event" ability. So let's suppose he goes faster while n Main Event, that would make his main event more attractive to play with. Also, if he loses his main event, make it at least last for like 60 seconds, in which time you will have a lot of time to decide if/ when to use it.

    Billy on the other hand, gets a lot of speed of his chainsaw, needless to say he can M1. About mindgaming pallets... I know where you're coming from but number 1) he still has some ability to mindgame with his M2 and number 2) Pallets are one of the only defenses survivors have aginst Billy.

    No just get better. Billy is fine stop messing with him for the love of god. He was fine the first time just needed an addon rework to get rid of insta saw. That was it. Please leave him alone. Leave my child alone.

    Only Trickster need some buffs, Billy is still strong in good hands and i think he is now perfectly balanced.

    Billy has oneshot and very high potential for mindgame.

    Trickster doesn't.

    Simple as that.

    he's already viable at pallets, not all pallets but he's never been viable at all pallets, nor do I necessarily think he should be he already has a ton of map pressure and if used properly can be very oppressive in chase. Get better at curving before saying he needs to move faster while revving.

    Billy would be op if he walked faster while charging chainsaw. I'm all about trashing his rework and making him as he was on release, but this would be too strong.

    Trickster on the other hand is so garbage... he needs any kind of love he can get.
