Let's talk about power meters and how they're coming for you!
Power Meters. Right now, a decent number of killers have them.
Nurse, Spirit, Michael, Freddy, Plague, Legion, Demogorgon, and Ghostface. That's roughly half of the killer roster.
The reason I want to bring attention to this matter is greatly influenced by a recent trend I've noticed. Ever since the Spirit released, each additional killer has had a power bar. Yamaoka's Haunting, Feral Frenzy, Corrupt Purge, Night Shroud, and Of the Abyss. In addition to two reworked powers: Spencer's Last Breath and Dream Demon.
So, the reason I am mentioning all of this now is just so that the community can start discussing how they think power bars should be implemented for the rest of the roster. Let's face the music folks, it's been said that in the coming months BHVR will rework the Chainsaw killers and the Doctor.
It's my strong belief that right now, that the current focus of the developers regarding killers is to give everyone a power meter.
They recently gave Nurse a power bar and she was a killer that most folks thought only needed the add-ons reworked.
Now the developers will work towards "reworking the Chainsaw killer add-ons".
I want to hear the community's thoughts on the idea of everyone having a power bar.
TL:DR
Devs are probably going to give Hillbilly and Bubba power bars, then everyone else. (They gave Nurse one after all.) What do you think about this?

People are in denial if they believe base Hillbilly will stay the same.
He too will get slight changes.

I HATE the way they currently use them. The all-or nothing attitude of a power bar reduces the uniqueness and options any given killer can have.
Now if they make it so there is a power bar but you don't need to wait for it to entirely recharge and can use segments of it differently I would be open to something like that. But currently we just have m1 killers who can occasionally become a unique killer before they're back to waiting again. It isn't fun, useful, cool, or powerful. It's just dumb in my opinion and hurts what makes the killer role fun in the first place.

Don't you mean 'slight tweaks?' I love the fact that the devs used that wording, because it shows how out of touch they seem to be when discussing balance.
But yeah, Hillbilly will have some 'slight tweaks' done to him, after Spirit.

Not a fan of these power bars either they can really limit killers. but as long as survivors perks and add ons keep getting nerfed into the ground, it has to happen

Yeah, a duration based chainsaw is possible.
My thought was the gas can refill system.

Oh god don't give them ideas.
2 months ago I would've laughed in your face. Now I'm worried you're going to inspire them.

It's fascinating isn't it? I always knew that there were two ways that the devs could handle long term killer balance. They could nerf the META to the B tier and then do a few buffs or buff each B tier killer and below to the META level.

It could be worse. A successful chainsaw hit could put survivors into the Deep Wounds State.
Want a poopier Legion that can't vault and gets less information?

Please stop D:
Every time you post something like this they have another "slight change" coming.
