Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Time to remove overheat on Hillbilly

There is not a single reason the Hillbilly should still have this feature now.

He is already punished for missing chainsaw sprint heavily, why punishing him even more?

If your argument is that it needs to be there so he can't face camp by staying 99% revved up the whole time... THERE IS BASELINE ANTI CAMP FEATURE IN THE GAME now. It doesn't matter if you camp the hook, survivor will jump off it for free if you do.

If your argument is that he would be stronger in the chase... not really? You walk slower than survivor when revving up the chainsaw... Leatherface is so much stronger in chase than billy now anyway, it's not even funny. Hillbilly was the most fun to go against killer and the most balanced one. The only thing overheat does now is forcing him to m1 more and more... and noone likes to play against m1lly.

  1. Remove overheat mechanic completely. (I don't care someone worked on this so hard and long. It just has no place in the game anymore.)
  2. Make the cooldown on missed chainsaw slightly shorter or make the cooldown on hitting obstacles sligtly longer (It doesn't make sense to have the same stun duration on letting go early and hitting a wall)
  3. Use addons relating to overheat to bring back some old ones, like reduced cooldown on missed chainsaw attacks.

These changes will literally take 15 minutes to implement...
