Billy. (Rant)
Hopefully one day the devs will realize that he is no longer fun to play at all.
He was one of the most balanced killers with a 1 shot down.
The whole community knows that the only problems that Billy had were 2 simple addon combinations.
1. Insta saw, honestly busted.
2. Crack billy, also busted.
Now Billy has some annoying things that just make him annoying to play.
1. Overheat, so the devs made him not only removing the skill ceiling with him but also managed to make him have severe limitations and creativity.
2. Roar, some like it some hate it, I'm in the hate part, so survivors that are good and played against billy often knew how to play against him basing on the chainsaw sound so he really had counter play while also being fun for both sides.
3. Now for some reason billy can crash into almost anything, a twig, an invisible part of a tile, non existed walls etc you name it, you probably can crash against it.
4. Useless addons, fact is that most addons are bad with a few exceptions aka lopro chains.
5. POV, yes, if you played billy before the nerf you can tell that the POV got changed and makes it slightly harder to curve, it is possible but messes with muscle memory badly.
6. And lastly, chainsaw sound, I have the same problem with billy that I do with doc, the chainsaw overheating or well getting warmer has this annoying sound, same problem that I have with doc but mostly because the chase music just makes my head hurt.
Hopefully the devs will realize that Billies just like other killers are not that much played because of the bad changes.
I still play billy because of nostalgia, he was my first killer that I actually mained when I started in early 2018, played him for about 1.5k hours but now he is no even the shell of what he was.

He was very frequent on console and there was a point when I was kinda tired of him but now I regret that.
I miss him and I never thought he was op. Lots of good memories versing billy back in the day.

On point 3, He has an addon that literally reduces chainsaw collision box.. Think really hard what that means. (they nerfed it and made it larger/easier to hit things)

I think even bhvr knows it’s a failure but just don’t want to admit they messed up

From what I tested, reduces collision on everything even survivor hitboxes, maybe I explained it poorly but yeah with that addon it feels harder to hit survivors as well, instead of chainsawing them you just sometimes run through their hitbox.
I also started on console and played him almost exclusive with the exceptions of dailies.
I never saw him as how some saw him as well.
I miss playing against him so much as well.

Facts honestly.

I'm sad to see more people using chainsaws only for transportation. It would be nice if chainsaws were a little easier to use during chases. Billy is a fun killer. I want to see more of him.

The funniest thing is in the rework patch notes, they said that they were happy how Billy performs, and then they proceeded to add overheat lmao. (not sure about this, but I think they even deleted this statement when people started to complain)

Just remember, Billy was “improved” according to the mobile devs.

Remove Billy's "Roar" is the only one I agree with and Billy is one of my mains.

They are arrogant as hell, they do think they know what's better for us.

Devs only care about survivors

You don’t honestly believe that do you? Survivors have received plenty of nerfs since release. I don’t want to type an essay.
0 -
Of course they've received nerfs, the game was absolutely broken. That's like saying Insulin went down a dollar so America cares about affordable healthcare. They still nerf anything into oblivion that survivors don't like, they refused to balance Coldwind or Disturbed Ward, destroyed Billy, ignore the heap of weak killers, destroyed Stridor, and more. I'm suprised NOED still even exists

BHVR doesn't give a ######### about the community, they think they know best even though half of them don't even play

Killers have had - and still have - their share of broken things. If you want to talk about broken, moris 1.0. Downed and dead. Today we still have iri head hatchet, Redhead’s Pinky Finger, Tombstone Piece, Spirit, and more.
Your bias is showing.
0 -
Lmao Moris are gone, Iri Head got nerfed, Clown is still so weak his add-ons don't matter, Tombstone Piece isn't very commonly seen (but yes it needs change), and Spirit is one of the most debated things in this community. But yeah, you go on ignoring everything that's wrong with survivor that impacts almost every game and the devs have ignored

Also billy is just a harder killer to play because there are a lot of indoor maps (when I started playing dbd it was just Games and Lery's). Also autohaven and macmillan rework made it harder to curve around the tiles.
