Leave it to the devs to nerf that which was balanced for no reason besides Survivor biased.
Billy was actually considered to be one of the most balanced killers in the game. An almost perfect amount of skill cap, map pressure, and down potential. Nothing was broken, and people complaining about him was a rare sight. I've seen more people crying about clown than I have billy.
But yet again incompetent developers wanna nerf something that was perfectly fine for killers just because they can. To add insult to injury they're tacking on yet another arsenal of useless addons and saying it's a good thing. His addons are actually so unoriginal and made with so little thought that they actually took a speed limiter and turned it into an iridescent addon. Oh yeah, you can run through pallets now, but you also can't down survivors in 1 hit at all.
They're so heavily against doing anything good for killers that even when they were supposed to be fixing his addons they still add a negative compensation effect for something potentially useful just to ensure it LOOKS good but is just going to end up more clutter on the bloodweb.

Im a billy main and the changes really dont seem that bad

It's just that they're unnecessary, and not what the community was asking for.
I know the billy nerf wasn't the best idea, but try to look at the bright side of the update, much more viable perks, better hit registration, LF finally buffed.
The PTB will show the balance state of the changes, in time.

infinite chainsaw is fine. sure. revving the whole game is fine. sure. his addons were fine. sure. you really didnt think like that, did you? he needed theses adjustments, and they did nothing more than adhusting (despite we dont even know how they changed the addons).

Billy didn’t barely get scratched WDYM
The Sprint doesn’t end when the overheat occurs if I read it right and all the overheat is around for is slowing down Chainsaw spam

Does almost nothing of value besides looking cool. Also does nothing. Infact that actually hurts him because he slows down while revving. His addons needed changes, but in exchange for slightly better addons they're also tacking on a nerf and still continuing to create useless clutter for the sake of appearances.

This right here. I stopped playing billy for almost a year now because i felt he was going to get gutted by the devs. Im just glad his power is still the same.

Highest mobility killer with build-in one shots all game long, and full movement speed to boot?
lolwut. This has been a long time coming, especially with the endless nerfs to survivors. Hillbilly might've been balanced a long time ago.

Agreed.
At this point i just want to say survivors have been nerfed as often it is what it is. 🤷🏻
Ds sucks. Dead hard is situational. You can probably and my favorite drum roll please
Toolbox repair speed nerfed
Repairing in a group speed nerfed
Repairing in a group with a tool box speed NERFED.

I'm not sure about the LF buff. Sure, the numbers are better, higher movement speed and optional longer run. This is definitely good. But the charge cancelling allowed him mindgaming on pallets, this is now gone. And probably a big problem in my opinion. And if the number increases allow him simply more easily to insta down survivors between loops, they just removed mindgame and counterplay on both sides, which would be pretty awful. Let's see what the PTB reveals

At least repressed alliance gives us a chance although it has its own balance. All survivors have to leave you alone on the generator in order for you to activate it.

We just have to wait and see if it's horrible like the nurses cool-down or if it's ok

Billy will most likely be fine even after the changes. Don't overreact before you have tried him. And that pallet addon actually looks insane. You can chainsaw through pallet AND injure or even down survivor if he/she was injured.

I rarely see Billy complained about. I have seen alot of "don't bother with Bubba, Billy is better chainsaw killer." It could be to get him and Bubba closer to the same level so more people will buy a licensed character instead of sticking with free original character.

"Survivors hit with the chainsaw are damaged for a single healthstate." Now unless I'm misreading this because they don't know how to word things properly, this means it's a permanent speed limiter. Yeah, no.

Yes but I can go through pallet with chainsaw and get a hit. People who know to play against Billy will waste a lot of my time if I try to instadown them at loops. Against not so good players it doesn't matter if I have instadown or not because they go down anyway. In my opinion this addon opens up possibilities against better players and put more pressure on them at loops. We will see how it works out but I am looking forward trying it.

Yeah i really wish they didn't nerf him, but at least it isn't a complete destruction of his power. Also not as bad as some suggestions from other player on the forms. At least we don't need to refuel the chainsaw at lockers or something stupid like that.

Can't claim survivor bias when survivors didn't ask for the nerf.
