I'm not here to bash anyone or get angry at BHVR for a bad change, I'm just here to beg.

I think if I ask "What is the biggest injustice in the history of DBD updates" the majority of people will say it was the Hillbilly nerf. I don't know what the stats said, but as a survivor I found Billy to be the most fun killer to play against. His power was simple yet effective. It had a high skill ceiling that led to loads of really fun and interesting games. Whenever I got downed by a billy it was either me misplaying, lag, or the billy just being completely cracked. The level of skill some Billy players had before the nerf was insane, but that technical proficiency is absent now. These days, however, the very few Billy's I have the honour of facing are fairly easy to beat. I don't feel like I'm running from a killer, I feel like I'm running from a bull while carrying a red flag. Hell I literally shout "Andale Andale!!" when playing against him...

I didn't play much billy before the nerf which is something I regret, but I really enjoyed playing against him. He was probably the closest to a perfectly balanced killer the game had imo, I think I speak on the behalf of thousands of players when I say that we need old Billy back. At the very least, give him another rework that makes him a viable killer. It hurts to see my boy in such a state. I don't know what stats the devs look at when considering killer reworks, but I have my doubts about whether or not the popularity of a killer is considered. When Billy is as rare as he is, I think that's a concern. (Think of all the cosmetics people would start buying again :O)

Anyways, I hope this reaches someone. I miss old billy boy.
