Can y’all stop complaining?

@LetsPlayTogether yes lets call on the survivor main god of infinite wisdom and ask his opinion on these changes. We summon thee!

Ayrun plays crackbilly mostly. Not really flickbilly. Most good flickbillys are either unknown because they don't make any content/are small yters/streamers. A good flickbilly would be FingerGunz for example.

I overheated while chainsawing, picked the survivor up, went to a hook, hooked the survivor, 3 seconds later my Chainsaw is back off cool down. Such a strong nerf.

can't you tell the difference between butchering down the killer worse than nurse and making the killer strong yet balanced like TS oni? Cause I'm fcking sure no one prefers the former when the nerf gets this bad, and that's where all the complaints are coming from.

Nurse is slower than survivors, she literally relied solely on her power. You can "mindlessly spam" blinks as much as you want but unless you know how to use them correctly they aren't going to go anywhere.

The biggest issue that people have with these nerfs is not that they make them worse, but they make the killer significantly less fun to play as. Nobody likes having to wait for a powerbar to fill back up before you can actually play the game.

You obviously do not know the true potential to Hillbilly. Hillbilly has the highest skill cap of any Killer in the game, heck he takes even more skill to play than Nurse. If you are an amazing Billy you can do crazy and impressive things. You can abuse the environment to go flying across the map and get skill shots from the sky, Good Billys can curve around pallet loops as well, and use their chainsaw in new and interesting ways. The Overheat mechanics takes away all the style from Billy's chainsaw because it accumulates so fast. With Overheat you will no longer see such skilled gameplay from Billy players. The overheat change is entirely unnecessary and Behavior is just hurting their own game with it. I am by no means a skilled Billy, I play mostly Nurse or Spirit. One of the BIGGEST disappointments of Overheat to me is I can no longer spam my chainsaw. I am not talking about revving it on the progress bar. I mean just tapping your m2 a bunch to make the chainsaw noise but immediately cancel it, it is pretty funny to do with Survivors and makes for fun memey games. But with Overheat I cannot do that anymore. They claim they are doing this to incite more skill based gameplay but it is doing entirely the opposite. Take out Overheat and just keep the add-on changes and Billy will be perfectly fine. Most Billys I encounter never camp because he has so much potential they do not need to. The only Billys that camp are new players who have no idea how to play him, so camping is not an issue on Billy. Leatherface on the other hand, like 99% of them are all campers.

Of course some Billy players can pull off some skillful plays, but the majority of Billy players I face usually just spam their chainsaw because there really isn't much of a downside when using it. This needed fixed. I personally like the changes.

Its less that we can't spam it, its that we are punished for using it in an intelligent way. Making plays in loops and mindgames are extremely important in red ranks, you need them in order to down good survivors, and they've now penalized you for using his kit in that way. I do agree that he deserves some form of cooldown mechanic, but punishing you for just clicking your mouse to start the rev is a bit much, not to mention his add ons were severely gutted.

I agree with you on the addons. They are terrible from what I've seen.

Oni can run into walls and bump into things. He takes less skill to play the Billy plus he has that charge up attack which most Onis use anyways if they miss. Billy only has the chainsaw. Did I mention Oni can also see blood orbs so stealthy plays are pretty much void?

Guess what though? You’re on the forums. Here players can share their opinions all they want. Who are you to say what people can and cannot express concerning their own opinions here? No one, regardless of tenure and/or affiliation with this game has the right to deny another from voicing their opinion.

I feel bad for Billy players on this one. Some of his add-ons are useless and he looks like he will bullied quite easily by smart survivors.

The people most affected by this nerf are not "mindlessly spamming their chainsaw" My biggest issue with the rework is it does not increase the skill cap. There was a big difference in play between really good billys and average billys. This cool down is forcing all billys to play like the average ones. It is taking a killer that people have put many hours in to be able to pull off some really awesome downs and making them play like the rank 10 who plays billy once a week.
