Slugging Billy?
Has there been a YouTube video on slugging billy or something? I keep getting matched with killers who slug at 5 gens, like that's the goal of the game. Anyone else getting them? I've just started going AFK now, cause trying to deal with that in solo queue is a nightmare.

Well, slugging is within the rules of the game and usually it doesn’t work all that well. Tough for killer to win if they never hook anyone. If nobody is picking you up after getting slugged, that’s on your team. Sounds more like an issue of bad teammates than an issue with the killers.

I ran into one of those slugging billys once when I was playing with @For_The_People and a common friend of ours. He was a streamer with 18,000 hours in game.
For having that many hours, and being P100, he really messed up a lot.3 -
I didn't say slugging wasn't within the rules, I just said it's too much hard work in solo, so I go AFK. He uses that perk that makes the people close scream, so he just steam rolls.

The Infectious Fright sluggers are the worst. A lot of Blights do it too. Unbearable.

I had a few during the event but they were doing it just to be dicks. They'd slug everyone then hump you on the ground which always makes me chuckle. You also get people like that in 1v4 now and then but it's pretty rare from my experience.
Otz released a video using Deathbound and slugging with it today. Was an interesting watch since it showed how strong anti-slug can be at countering slugging at 5 gens.
People do love to copy him so it could be that or just coincidence. Might be good to bring exponential or other anti-slug for a bit until people get sick of it.2 -
that's just Billy, man. always either slug or always come back to hook to tunnel. boring killer.

I went up against that exact Billy build. Had the super hero cosmetic. Solo Q so you know, instant death. But I suppose It’s what’s come to be expected if you play solo.
Wishing you better gameplay in the future that doesn’t involve staring at the ground!

This is all because the killer main community is TERRIFIED of the fabled 4 man fast track. So as always killers will treat fellow gamers like trash for a fear of an uncommon thing. Besides why do only survivors have to bring certain perks for those that want to make the game miserable for others? And I do not consider people bringing lightborn, because they see one beamer.

Lol reminds me, I had a good old fashioned basement camping billy earlier today for the first time in foreve. It actually backfired on him pretty badly. First chase got us 2 full gens done. Then once he'd downed his victim and took him to basement, he sat just putside face calp range and waited. The other 3 of us all sat on different gens and worked them through the hook timer, popped all 3 just before the sacrifice popped and got a 3 out.

Were the survivors spaced far apart or close together? If you down a survivor and another is right there, why not chase the other?

Nah, not every Billy plays like that. Granted, BIlly-players become overall more unlikeable since he got buffed, simply because before only people who did not care about winning and more about nice curves played him, so they were mostly very nice. But once he got buffed, the unpleasant people started to play him, but it is wrong to say that all Billys are like that.

the same way you survivors are terrified of the fabled tunnel/slugging everygame. Survivors give the same treatment to their fellow gamers for the same thing. killer cant help if you feel "miserable" because of how they're playing. bring DS if help with tunnel, if you refuse to bring those certain perks then dont come crying about tunneling or slugging

infectious fright is incredibly broken. You don’t even need to look at the killer and scream. It needs to be fixed.

Infectious is fine. The problem is more that slugging is too good. Slugging provides exactly the same amount of Map Pressure like hooking does. And with the right build, you will not even miss any of the Benefits of hooking (e.g. if you dont run Pain Res or PGTW, you will not need to hook).
However, depending on the Build and on high mobility Killers, Infectious can become a problem. If paired with Distressing (since the high mobility Killers have 40m Terror Radius, with Distressing their Terror Radius is massive) and especially Anti-Healing Perks like Coulrophobia, it makes it basically impossible to pick up Survivors, since you will be nearby if you just picked someone up from the dying state, which allows the Killer to slug and just go after the next person.

It happens every 2 out of 3 games. So you have no idea what you are talking about.

Fast Track only just got changed and I've yet to see a 4man with it. Meanwhile, tunneling and slugging happen every time I play survivor. There's zero comparaion between a recent mediocre perk rework and a pain point that's been allowed to go on for years.

Infectious isn't the issue. As Aven said, it's the high mobility killers that are. It's also certain players using it a certain way. I sometimes use Infectious instead of Lightborn to avoid sabos, and for info for next chase. I've never used it to slug.

I know you're right, Aven. I think I'm just unlucky with Billy to have such a sour opinion. I actually disliked Billy when he was weak with overheat because I swear the Billy's I had would get upset they were playing weak killer and end up getting mean, like old flashburn Wraith so nothing changed for me with his buffs :(

There's definitely been a video or something, all of the Blights tonight were doing it. So strange.
When I asked what it was about, they said "not thinking" whatever that means..

Always hate this. It happened as early as Wraith's rework too. Suddenly the fun bing bong man went away and everything was a race to the finish.

It's all a race to finish….. Unless the killer wants to slug for 4 mins to deny hatch. Or work with a survivor for, I have seen 15 plus minutes of it in a match, because they couldn't down them naturally. Then, weirdly, the race stops. Gotta win.

To answer the question, yes. Yes, there has been a video on how good deathbound is in the current state of dbd and the killer that it was being used on was Billy.
Very well known content creator, so not unexpected that people replicate.
