remove the roar and overheat.
the roar has nerfed Hillbilly around loops with poor visibility (because it tells survivors exactly when he starts sharging) and its very annoying having to listen to it and overheat is a stupid mechanic that actively punishes you for using your power (i dont care if its "barely noticable" or not, it has very efficiently sucked all the fun out of this character and is quite honestly just unhealthy).
and make his Add Ons a bit more viable - however, dont make them as strong as they used to be with old Billy (a 26% charge time decrease on a common Add On was completely busted and we really shouldnt go back to that). Though this point im not too fixated on - old basekit billy was perfectly fine by himself, i'd be happy if they just restored that.

FYI Ormond isn’t a “large map”, it’s the median map size (7 maps are the same size as Ormond, about 14 are smaller and 14 are larger).
I never liked playing Billy personally. It has nothing to do with Overheat, though, that’s a non-issue to me. It’s just he feels really clunky compared to both Blight and Bubba. If I want to get chainsaw downs I would rather play Bubba, and if I want to run around the map at high speed I would play Blight. Hillbilly just plays in my opinion like a worse version of both mashed together.
(And yes, running into a tiny vine and going into tantrum is also annoying. I was playing him last night on Eyrie and hit a weed or two, pretty annoying. Still got a 3k despite that but, man, that collision box!)

Get rid of overheat, fix janky animations, remove the roar, and buff the add ons.

Overheat, better addons and his goddamn animations.

I just want the roar gone, at first I thought it was kinda funny but now it's just annoying and I've realized it makes it so much easier for survivors to dodge curves which is the whole reason I still bother to play Billy.

Last I used Billy I dashed towards a survivor and was going to get a hit but then a little rock clipped his pinky toe and I got stuned. That is definitely what is hurting Billy the most....and his roar....please remove that dam roar it's not needed.

Revert his changes. Remember, the devs said he was in a good spot, only to go ahead and nerf him for. . . big brain reasons or something. I don't think they had any, they just wanted to jump on the Bubba bandwagon at the time.

i have an interesting addon idea: Every time you bump into an object survivors with 8 or 12 meters away from you have their auras revealed for 3 seconds (bumb duration) then lingers for another 3 seconds
