Please keep Hillbilly's Mother's Helpers and Black Grease add-ons

While Hillbilly's add-on changes are an overall improvement over his current iteration, the loss of some unique effects has me feeling a little sad. For those who don't know, the Mother's Helpers and Black Grease add-ons increase the chainsaw's charge speed by 18% after being stunned or blinded respectively. I really love running these for meme builds, whether using the Helpers with Spirit Fury and Enduring, or the Grease when facing a full flashlight squad. And Hex: Two Can Play is equally fun to pair with both add-ons. I'd also love to run the Grease with the new Shadowborn effect, moving 10% faster while charging the chainsaw 18% faster sounds like loads of fun!

These could easily be put right back in over the Discarded Air Filter and Ragged Engine add-ons, two new effects that I'm very confident will be quite unpopular. They both slow the speed at which the overdrive meter decays, and most players won't feel any need or desire to bring these.

Please, I'm begging that these add-ons remain in the game. They're by far my favorite ones to run while playing Hillbilly.

    I agree with this 100%, both of those add-ons were cool and Mother's Helpers was especially a genuinely useful add-on outside of meme builds. Also, bring back Leafy Mash, it was another cool add-on that benefited from stealth Billy/silent Billy builds.

    I also think Pighouse Gloves can stay over the new purple Overdrive add-on because it benefits more from Overdrive than it did with Overheat. It was a cool idea of an add-on but no one ever got value out of it since it required you to overheat. Now that Overdrive exists and replaces the mechanic, it would actually work more consistently while not being busted.

    I'm glad someone else agrees! And that's an excellent point about the Pighouse Gloves, that add-on could be genuinely good and fun with Overdrive replacing Overheat.

    BHVR seems to be removing meme add-ons from killers which is understandable but unfortunate. I would love it if BHVR added 2 meme add-on slots per killer that are always equip-able and not in the bloodweb. That way people can run meme add-ons if they want without it interfering with bloodweb or taking up the limited amount of killer add-ons.
