The hillbilly change is not a nerf
All the people complaining right now are the whiners that have no skill and are mad they need more skill from now on, I’m sure he is still going to be able to cross mothers dwelling, you just have to be more meticulous about how you use his power. It isn’t going to change his chase pressure, it will just REQUIRE SKILL to properly map pressure.
I have played lots of billy and I will have to adjust and learn more. As long as he can cross a massive map such as Mothers dwelling and his overheat isn’t massive he will be fine, Nurse was overdid, everyone can agree. But I think that this Billy CHANGE will require skill, not be a slap to his face. He will still be top 5 killers.
Keep in mind I play 50/50 and like 20% of my killer is billy so I ain’t no survivor mains(mains are trash)

Yes, because billy is only about mobility and crossing maps, not about mindgames, zoning, curving and snowballing. -M1 crew 7 hours on billy btw
It wont change anything about skill levels, its just unnecesary

I don't think you're going to turn anyone to your side of thinking by saying if you disagree with me then you have no skill and you're a whiner in your opening line. The problem with the current state of the game is the same problem 2 years ago. You can have a full swf with no perks demolish rank 1 killers. That isn't balanced and nerfing killers before that gets fixed is just making matters worse.

I agree it’s unnecessary but they probably did it just to make sure they could make enough non repeat addons, I still think he was fine but at least this doesn’t change his spot and he isn’t going into oblivion(hopefully) like nurse

Agreed, he needed no change but they could have done much worse(thank god they didn’t) and SWF is the main problem but I’m sure they don’t wanna change it because they will lose players and tons of money(which would hopefully wake them up to the problems)

I think this change will just make it harder for billy to pallet loop me with his chainsaw revved. As of now I don't think it's that bad but I am usually against nerfing killers. After Nurse's rework she got a crap ton of bugs that still haven't been fixed. Entity knows what this patch will do to Billy.
Side topic. Now that Billy is getting nerfed can we finally nerf DS? Not rework, I'm talking NERF. Like make it so it doesn't work if your in a locker or if the killer hooks someone else your DS shuts off. The dev's reason for nerfing ruin was the amount of times it was present in matches. Well I see at least 1 DS in every game and that's on a good day.

You're probably right, but thats also why the community is shaking heads right now. Out of all the killers, they spend ressources to change billy. No one really sees the point in it. It doesnt deter skillless plays, it doesnt promote skillfull plays. Not mad about the changes, just confused about their priorities.

Oh? So it doesn't just reduce how often you can use the chainsaw with no compensation buff?
Tell me. What can I now do that I couldn't before thanks to this change?

Eat foot fungus, yes I agree this nerf was undeserved, it won’t change his spot if you a billy(I find it pretty boring to zoom around the map 3 times just doing nothing

I don't agree with they'll lose tons of players and money if they balance survivors. I'm going to keep saying this until it gets implemented. They NEED to add VOIP to the game so everyone is considered SWF so they aren't balancing two separate games. They can add an option to disable VOIP or a quick mute button for those who want to use it. There is an official DBD discord server, it's embarrassing this isn't simply incorporated in the game. Killers don't need to, nor should be able to hear survivors on mic during the match. At end game match results VOIP between killer and survivors is fine. Once every survivor is considered a SWF you've eliminated the insane advantage survivors get and can balance this game properly. Until this is done balance is always going to be an issue.

See this is my view too. There was no need. It was pointless.
Meanwhile we have how many multi-year existing game breaking problems? lol
I wouldn't call mains trash. I main 90/10 survivor solo and feel bad for the killer in 99% of my games unless they're camping/tunneling super early(<1 gen done).

I’m generally a woke person since 80% of my game play is solo queue or killer, they need to fix the game like I’ve played for 3 years and this is brutal, changing what doesn't need to be changed and doing ######### about the big problems

People are mad about the nerf because it's BHVR walking straight past a gallery of fire extinguishers to chuck oil on several different blazes. To say "well, it's only a little oil! You're just mad because you can't handle any heat!" really misses the point there.
Out of the top 4 killers, one is brokenly buggy and considered unfun to play due to an addon-gate cooldown nerf. The other two are considered very unfun to play against and in need of changes. What is happening? A potentially addon-gate cooldown nerf dealt to the bottom rung who everyone considered both fun and balanced. What a perfect storm. And if Billy's change is truly insignificant, the risk of unintended effects is the bigger part of it by far. Sound bug, etc etc etc.
This is also in an environment where about 5 killers can say "if I play well, I escape being a hapless chew toy for an equally skilled SWF". So the anxiety produced by nerfing a killer already considered fair and fun is tremendous.

ok they make all killer need more skill to use why not do that for survivors as well i mean take no skill play that.

LOL. Billy isnt about any if that. Its just aboht slapping on instasaw, anti-loop perks and rhen sprinting around instadowning everyone. Snowballing is incredibly easy to do with him, too easy in fact. You dont need to be able to curve to 4k consistently as Billy.

Yes, you just click the head. Its that easy.
You can generalize nurse that way aswell. Just blink in strike range to the survivor, duhh. No skill needed. Just blink and strike. Just chainsaw and win. You sound very inexperienced and salty

You write as if people who don't get 4ks as Billy but have immense fun shouldn't be playing the game. The Billy changes, similarly to the Nurse changes, lessen the fun aspect of the killer while doing little to address the issues most players might have.
The only reason we stopped seeing "nerf Nurse" threads was because people just stopped playing her after the changes, and the people that do are often not the super scary Nurses we'd seen before.
