Speed Limiter (Hillbilly) Is The Worst Addon In The Game

While this is entirely subjective, I feel as if Speed Limiter really does make Billy's power horrible, especially in comparison to other meme addons.

One of the things that I would really like to do, is have Speed Limiter buffed to make it not so horrible of a meme addon. Something along the lines of Plague's Prayer Tablet Fragment, where it provides a downside and positive to it's effect.

How would I change Speed Limiter:

Speed Limiter Uncommon Addon

A mechanical device that limits the amount of fuel small engines can intake at one time, forcing a constant and safe speed. Other modifications allow the heat to be properly released from the chainsaw, creating a constant airflow within the device.

~Grants 100% Bonus Bloodpoints for Chainsaw Hit Score Events in the Devious Category.

~Hits with the chainsaw do not automatically trigger the dying state. Survivors hit with the chainsaw are inflicted with Deep Wound.

~The chainsaw cannot overheat.

~Increased the movement speed during a chainsaw sprint by +10%, the movement speed during a chainsaw sprint cannot be modified further with other addons.

Speed Limiter, in this case, isnt horrible but does have it's draw backs and strengths:

  • The increase bloodpoints will remain the same amongst all things. This is to keep Speed Limiter in line with other meme addons.
  • Chainsaw hits will not instantly down survivors, keeping the theme of speed limiter alive, but having it trigger Deep Wound limits the usage of Endurance perks. Speed Limiters can be a rough experience since the addon requires 2 hits with a power that a lot of people consider hard to use. This make it so it will always take 2 hits to down a survivor and Endurance wont have any effect on the amount of hits required (this is excluding Mettle of Man since MoM is a special instance).
  • The chainsaw cannot overheat... this one is interesting. A lot of players do not like the overheat mechanic with the chainsaw, however this gives the player a way of being able to overcome the overheat mechanic of course at the cost of insta-downing survivors... "other modifications allow the heat to be properly released from the chainsaw, creating a constant airflow within the device."
  • Increasing the movement speed but not having it be able to be modified further, this allows the player running Speed Limiter to move at a "constant and safe speed" but not feel entirely sluggish. Players often run Doom Engraving or Death Engravings, however this provides an alternative to stuff, allowing newer players to get a feel for the increased chainsaw speed and even practice.
