I want old Hillbilly back

Mainly for the speed add-ons I'll even take that they make the chainsaw over heats faster but I'm super annoyed with it that ruined my original main killer.

    I do too, actually. I think survivors are in a good enough place with perks and strat that they could handle OG Billy now much better than they did.

    Playing him for the 7 chainsaw things. Goofing off with the speed limiter and survivors are gging me like I am playing serious.

    I'm just crying because of what they did to our boy.

    Engravings make it overheat slower. I think a couple of addons should becbuffed but he’s not gutted. Just the instsaw options now are crummy.

    I always forget how bad some of Billy`s add-ons are. Like the black grease for his eyes. Or I was looking at his gloves, because I couldn't remember what they did, and I was like "wuuut?! Thats awesome! ... wait a minute! Ahhhh, they are total crap!".

    Why are so many of his add-ons dependant of his overheating? Yikes. Give this good boi a pass! (and Pyramid Head, please *puppy eyes*)

    It's that I don't play Hillbilly myself, but I really miss playing against him as survivor. Especially curving billy.

    I hope devs will give him some love, maybe I will torture myself and try and learn him myself.

    They just need to remove overheat and rework/adjust a few addons and he’ll be in a pretty solid spot.

    Agreed I also want the return of Sayville like it seems like with every new sky billy launch it gets patched soon after like let me practice being a space bound milkman lol

    They just need to rework those awful addons. The overheat isn't a big deal. It's the addons. To situational to be worth it.

    I do too. There was no reason for him to be changed.

    I see people say this a lot but even watching tourney players, they overheat all the time and it can definitely hurt them. I just don’t see the point in it when the speed addons were apparently the issue in the first place.

    for some reason the devs seem to want to promote m1lly gameplay which is just. why

    I play Billy, I use him to travel and at places where they are outpositioned. Not at loops. I rarely overheat. If your intention is to get a ton of instasaws I can see it as an issue.

    I think pretty much everybody who used to play Hillbilly (he was my fav pre-nerf) wants him back. The only thing that needed fixing was insta-saw, but he ended up getting gutted 😔

    I just miss basic, unconditional charge time addons and cooldown addons. Not many people complain about it but the bumper Billy addons were nerfed as well.

    At least we still have turn speed addons.

    They need to revert the nerf completely, remove stupid overheat, then look at his add-ons. Maybe make his default charge speed faster and then remove his charge speed add-ons, except for the conditional stuff like Mother's Helpers. The same could be done with his turn rate and collision zone add-ons. His pinks need to be combined into one, and then we'll need another good pink for him.

    I think my idea for buffing killers works, and that is integrating certain add-ons into their basekit in whole or in part, and then those newly freed up add-on slots create room for new, unique add-ons.

    It seems like people aren't understanding what add-ons are supposed to be. They're supposed to improve the killer's power in some way, plain and simple. I see far too many people saying, "Yeah, they should do that, but also have downsides to balance out the upsides." which defeats their entire purpose. Why can't an add-on just improve the killer's power, no strings attached?

    I just want overheat gone man. Sure instasaw was annoying as hell but cmon "spamming your chainsaw" is genuinely impressive if somebody does it and actually manages to win.

    This is the core to my complaints with Hillbilly's addons. Too many of his addons have straight up handicaps to his abilities or niche conditions required to activate (including conditions that are activated by survivor actions and not Hillbilly's actions). Truly, I wish 100% of these addons had those handicaps and conditions removed. All of them.

    Nerf down the strength of them. But unconditional addons.
