#SaveSkyBilly
SkyBilly probably needs no introduction. But in case you don't know, it's Billy's ability to use objects to his advantage to get into the air and on top of structures. This was something that was beloved by the community and was often a mark of skill and experience for Billy players. It was also awesome to watch and perform for yourself. But as you can see in the above image, it's been removed for no apparent reason. So I invite you to share clips or stories of your experiences with SkyBilly, or your take on why it should return to the game. With enough feedback, it is possible that BHVR will add this feature back.

I can't believe they actually went through with it.
BHVR, this goes to you! Your game has massive troubles of both sides not having fun in many of their matches. Just look at this forum: Slugging, camping, tunneling, some unbalanced and badly designed maps and perks, even Cirlcle of Healing, repetetiveness in terms of perks and killers, a META that defines the game so much people literally stopped playing because it's boring and not fun and the list goes on! There were some good changes over the last year and the upcoming perk overhaul is a good thing but we're not out of the woods yet. With the introduction of MMR you got so many complaints and they don't just go away if you ignore them long enough or make some adjustments. We are used to it now but that doesn't mean we're happy about it.
BHVR took one the most fun killers to play and first butchered him with his nerf and now kick him with every new map they add. I'm well aware that you can't create a map specifically for one killer. But this killer is already barely managing and the new maps are freaking horrible to play on (again just look at all the discussions here). Now tell me again, why would you remove a mechanic that you actually approved of? Skybilly was absolutely hilarious and fun for BOTH sides! This game truly is horror for anyone who doesn't play SoloQ, one of the weaker killer, or Hillbilly and not in a good way! "Fixed an issue"? You CREATED an issue. The people on this forum were very vocal about their opinions on this topic, so no one can say BHVR couldn't have known. Show me 10 players that are actually happy about this and I'll show you 100 players who aren't!
The fact alone that killers will literally get paid just to play that role says it all. We do not enjoy the game as much as the survivors do and we haven't done so in quite some time. This is not a passive mistake by not reacting to something or not realizing it. This is a conscious decision and it brings me to the conclusion that this game is not focused on fun, otherwise there would be no reason to even make the effort to remove it. It is focused on competetiveness and stress because that was the only argument there was why SkyBilly should be removed. If we wanted to get stressed, we wouldn't need to buy a game, DLCs or even cosmetics. We could just work more or do other things we don't like. Let's do some quick maths: More fun = more players = more people that buy this game and ingame content = more money.
Sorry, I got a little carried away here. But my point still stands. I just want to understand why BHVR would do this.
