Bubba and Billy
I kinda feel like Bubba and Billy should be having an interaction cooldown when they decide to stop revving. Not a large one, but now one of the ways to dodge their chainsaw is jumping in a locker(which, thanks to dedicated servers, is still no guarantee). Yet, all they have to do is just rev their chainsaw hoping the survivor jumps out or stop revving and instantly open the locker. Hell, you can open a locker before you're even able to basic attack. Like #########? I mean, either that or have them move at least 0,5-1 meters before it can be an instadown.
I mean, destroying pallets using their ability is faster than normal, they already get a cooldown on things after using their ability, so its not like its gonna be game breaking. I'm already of the opinion that a killer shouldnt be able to instadown without really having to do anything for it(aka using addons or perks).
And yeah, it kinda focusses on Bubba and Billy as they are the only ones who literally dont have to prepare or sacrifice anything for an instadown. Bubba ofcourse being a bit weak around sharp corners, but even then are the rewards much bigger than any sacrifice. The only thing they get is a short punishment if they bump into an object, which is freaking impossible nowadays anyway unless they are running against a locker, in which case, they just camp outside revving. Even a trapper or a hag placing down a trap in front of it is a better scenario, because then at least you can get out if you react properly. Even a huntress cancelling her hatchet has a cooldown before she can open lockers. So why not billy and bubba?

I don't think lockers really need a buff.

So lockers should be invincibility against chainsaws? You need to bait them into bumping into it.

wait what. How is trapper setting a trap right infront of the locker a better scenario than just a bubba/billy revving? You can literally do nothing but exit and get trapped unless the killer horribly misplaces it, or a survivor disarms it. I mean sure if the trapper completely leaves you'll probably just get out injured after struggling from the trap. And even then trapper has a addon that puts you in the dying state if you struggle out.

Lockers are already a powerhouse against those two killers, it seriously doesn't need a buff.

Yes, and I had a billy bump into it and being able to rev as soon as I got out. He had 0 stun cooldown addons. But you cant increase the base stun for billy and bubba because thats too much of a punishment.

its not lockers recieving a buff, its streamlining killer abilities. A hag cant instantly open a locker after a triggered trap, a pig cant open a locker untill after her attack cooldown is gone, a trapper cant open a locker untill he stands up straight after his ability/cancelling his ability, wraith needs to wait to be fully cloaked/uncloaked to open a locker(which is very visually shown), Nurse cant open a locker untill after her stun, Huntress, again, needs to lower her hatchet before she can open the locker which is very easily shown visually, Oni cant open a locker while charging his attack/while in a dash.
Bubba and Billy are the only 2 outliers here. And tbh, im willing to even look away for Bubba in this case, because his stun for hitting walls is more punishing than Billy is. It's not lockers recieving a buff, its 2 killers getting either a visual nerf(by having them lower their chainsaws, which nerfs them a lot if they want a bait), or a mechanical nerf and actually only letting them open a locker when they are able to basic attack. Opening a locker before being able to do a basic attack in this game is ridiculous.

Not really, they are fairly scarce and they are free hooks unless the survivor has head-on. Or the one case on 2 maps where lockers directly face each other where a survivor can jump between lockers, but even then is it just buying time at most.

Yeah, but some major differences
1: the trapper is forced to use a resource
2: in the case of the addon, the killer is using a second resource(which would even fail if there was a fellow survivor nearby)
3: its actually something you can get out.
A billy/bubba uses 0 resources to get essentially a better effect. So why is it that other killers are forced to use resources where billy and bubba dont? They already have a build-in better version of brutal strength. Bubba at least has the weakness of corners, Billy can wallride those things. Hell, the only true weakness in the game for them, is thin trees and single barrels.
