Justice has been done
I know I’ve been hard on the devs but you did the right thing here. Finally stood up to the loudest voices and gave Billy what he deserves.
I’m proud of you guys. 👍🏻
LETS CELEBERATE!!

I don't know why you think this is a good thing. the only thing that will come of it will be instasaw backrev billy. hf with that boosted kid.

weak bait

Yea lets make his chainsaw a two hit down next update he can't actually down survivors we need more balance patches. The survivors should move as fast as Billy's chainsaw too
18 -
There's no way they're not getting rid of instasaw addons too.
6 -
Because a killer with unlimited instadowns on demand and the ability to cross the map back and forth with no cooldown was perfectly balanced right?
24 -
Yea it's what it takes to counter 4 survivors who can literally complete gens super quick now without having to hit great skillchecks with ruin. What game are you playing?
46 -
Its been proven time and time again its only really 3-4 man swf that obliterate the gens like that.
As someone who plays either solo or 2 man swf tops, Billy needed the nerf.
3-4 man swf is its own separate issue.
15 -
Unlimited (charge-up, non-free directional, easy dodgeable) instadown and good mobility. It's not braindeadly easy to use the instadown you know? Good survivors use windows and tiles in general to keep billy a M1 killer. The nurse nerf was discussable, but billy's nerf is just simply and objectifically not good and balanced.

Imagine thinking Billy is OP 😂

As someone who only plays this game solo survivor and killer Hillbilly never need the nerf. His chainsaw was fair to dodge and when you went down it's because you messed up. Its just not swfs groups anymore any group of randoms that actually do gens can escape pretty easily now without ruin being a problem anymore. Survivors don't even have to try anymore unless the survivors just never do gens
9 -
You do know they are reworking all his addons as well? So ofc they are gonna get rid of that lol. If they didnt well I guess gg behaviour you played us all. Both killers and survivors.

their name is "ClickyClicky" they trolling you like they do in game with a flashlight
12 -
Of course survivor mains are the loudest voices, they complain the most and are the worst at the game
5 -
He really does believe that, I think he is just a boosted survivor or someone who just wants to troll on forums.

I enjoy your humour

His lack of knowledge on the game is baffling. Trolling is an art. He is one of those flashlight players that last 15sec in any chase. And then they are mad in endgame chat.

Billy's chainsaw inflicts no damage but gives Survivors hemorrage.... :D
4 -
Spirit does move grass though? I remember seeing it in Monto's and Otzdarva's videos.
2 -
I know that it's a joke. But that would be stupid fun. Billy and the survivors having races around the maps. Dweet with a little baby chainsaw.
0 -
too easy.
3 -
It's about time. Unless facing a 4 man really strong SWF or he's just bad. Billy obliterated. Unlimited instantdowns with easy map traverse is ridiculous. At least Oni has to work to get that but he has free tracking. Billy needed some punish to the action cause the bump stun was nothing at most points.
2 -
Really?
I'm gonna say this as someone who regularly play solo survivor and also plays killer. (I'm consistently Rank 1 for both for reference). I honestly think Billy is the most balanced killer in the game. He has insane map mobility and can insta down survivors. Sounds OP right? Wrong. One has has to wind up his chainsaw and to survivors can bait his chainsaw or negate it by vaulting a window or dropping a pallet in time. A good survivor no matter if you're solo or swf can mindgame the hell out of Billy and essentially force hime to use M1. This in all honesty makes him a really fun killer to play against for me because I feel like while he has great power I can also fight back well so for me him getting a nerf honestly makes me sad because now way less people are going to not play Billy more which is a shame because like I said he's really fun to play against because it doesn't feel like straight up bs going against him if you have any real skill.
I also feel like if you're celebrating his nerf in such a way that you are that you're being pretty entitled with your opinions on the killer and thinking they are objective which is not true. Hell even my side is subjective.
(Also have fun with loads of more Bubbas because looking at his buff....Holy moly.)
4 -
the fact that theres a chargeup and you actually have to aim it is pretty balanced actually.
4 -
Yes, I love it too! :D
1 -
My argument for years has been that survivors should have the same movement speed as killers.
0 -
Billy can definitely be OP in the right hands. You just don't see that often because most matches you never go against a Hillbilly and most people that play him aren't good with him.
1 -
Holy moly is right. I watched the video, and saw how long his tantrum lasted, and thought " damn ". I never really paid attention to how long it was before the change, but it's like 5 - 6 seconds long now.

I'm all for SFW in custom games, or at least not in ranked mode. But a party of 2 should be the max allowed in sfw for ranked games.
This game is only so broken because their only matchmaking system is ranked and it's a bad system
If there were normal games and they limited sfw in ranked they would see many less balancing issues
0 -
Mild bait, good try though.
Until he is on the ptb and we see all of his addons ill reserve my opinion.
3 -
I hate this game and the dev's balance choices so much but I can't stop playing it.
0 -
Look at his post history - It speaks for itself.
4 -
Not a nerf dude, they're just punishing spammers. Other than the cool down he's exactly the same

Op and strong are 2 different things and I haven't seen a hillbilly since he got bugged.
1 -
I'm fairly sure OP spends more time on forums than actually playing the game.

"For the most part, we are happy with the way The Hillbilly performs. His power is very versatile, allowing him to quickly traverse the map, zone out Survivors and instantly down them. From a Survivor’s perspective, there is also a reasonable amount of counterplay, leading to interesting chases where the best player often comes out on top."
Imagine liking how a killer performs, but nerfing him anyways.
5 -
What was Billy's nerf anyway?
0 -
You aren't OP so I don't see how my comment relates to you unless you've realized you two are the same.
Great job spamming on billy nerf threads! You're doing god's work!
1 -
I'm going to laugh my ass off when people stop playing Billy, and then the complaints roll in because now survivors are constantly facing the very few remaining red-rank viable Killers, giving them even less variety of what they go up against.
0 -
Freddy and spirit stocks are definitely going to go up after this update.
0 -
And now he’s about to become even more balanced ☺️ So whats the problem?
0 -
Thats all they do. Resort to personal attacks because they have no actual argument
0 -
Theres nothing that i would consider OP about any killer in dead by daylight now. OP has turned into a buzzword for bad survivors who dont know the difference between overpowered and strong. The key words are "in the right hands" implying that you even acknowledge that someone cant simply pick up hillbilly and wreck house with him. People that have gotten good with him have simply put in the time and effort to learn his intricacies
1 -
In the next update:
Billys chainsaw is removed and replaced with Legions knife.
1 -
How about you get better at the game? Billy with meta perks and add ons is braindead easy
0 -
so in the next update after this one are survivor getting weapon next?
0 -
disagree with everything on this list. IRI head huntress add on needs another purple add on to be remotely good and at that point you only get 3. Hillbillys chainsaw at base is stronger and i will forever fight for that opinion. Spirit with stridor is confusing as F and is hard to pinpoint survivors with no iron will. and bubba with insidious is completely countered by spine chill, voice comms and kindred.

There also giving leather face a rework so it better be good

Mori and keys don't need a nerf my dude
