Isn't really mentioned much but i love the changes to Billy.

I feel like i can actually try to learn things without getting superpunished for it. Have been enjoying it a lot

    Yeah I think the overheat changes are good as a whole, I'm glad they got some sense and decided not to nerf engravings.

    Maybe it's me just being ungrateful but I just wish they'd remove overheat as a mechanic, considering it was never a good idea and that it barely does anything anymore there isn't a reason for it's existence. If they want to keep it as an anti-camp measure then they can just make it to where it'll overheat quickly if you're within a certain radius of a hooked survivor, or something like that.

    He's a lot of fun to play now and it's just so great to be seeing more of him also. He's certainly one of the most exciting to face, alongside other chase-based killers.

    Yup, this is a great change for billy. There are definitely some additional things that would be greatly appreciated, but respect for recognizing that the engraving nerf would have gutted him and reverting the PTB following feedback from the community.

    It's important to hold the developers to account for where things go wrong, but it's also equally important to give credit where it is due. You have our thanks.

    Now there's only three more things they need to do to let Billy be fun to play again:

    1. An actual thoughtful add-on pass. Seriously - Billy charges his chainsaw faster when blinded??
    2. Remove the pointless invisible walls on rooftops. Even survivors love to see SkyBilly take flight!
    3. Fix the huge number of tiny twigs or cloth straps that knock Billy on his butt. Seriously, it's incredibly difficult to get a run of any length when you suddenly hit some tiny obstruction and bam, chase over.
