Yes, a full reversion would be best (including addons)

The overheat mechanic should be scrapped, but I think instasaw was a problem

Overheat is a good idea, but needs some changes/fine tuning

    Old Hillbilly was fine and didn't need any changes. The only problem was insta saw.

    I don't actually know old Billy, so I can't say too much about it. - But while I agree the overheat is ridiculous when you just want to use the chainsaw in chase and want to be smart about it - I dread the image of Billy's who rather perfect the art of camping hooks with a ready chainsaw. If overheat should stay simply because of that - or if it should be removed but you can't use Billy's power in close proximity to the hook, similar to artist - or overheat only happens in some situations that are likely to occur when camping a hook but unlikely when in chase, idk.

    The overheat mechanic is just unnecessary. Regardless, he is still a B tier killer with his map mobility and instadowns.

    Bubba should have gotten the overheat mechanic not Hillbilly

    idk if i agree with any of these, i think the best start is making yellow engraving basekit/1 chainsaw heat cooling addon basekit and maybe go from there? maybe i'm biased as i don't have too much fun against hillbilly and don't actually want to face against too many of them (chases w em just aren't as fun to me anymore) but he does need a buff to his basekit regardless cause he's in bit of a sad state rn.

    The overheat thing was kinda a pointless addition, but it also doesn't feel super impactful. His addons are definitely worse off now though.
