Feels like they're adding Leatherface to the game
He's been there for as long as I've been playing, he was the second dlc i bought after Halloween but that was basically just for BBQ. He was a joke character and toxic face camping icon, now he looks like the beast he should be.
Im on xbox so I can't play the PTB but after watching the gameplay i can't wait to play him. It's such a small change but i really appreciate the added depth, i also appreciate the fact that billy wasn't JUST nerfed but his chainsaw got some more flash and got some really cool add ons and i LOVE the yell lol. They need to change that chain tho
Plus the blood, the texture updates, the aura changes, this is by far my most anticipated mid chapter in the year I've been playing. That said i don't play Billy really so i do understand why billy mains would be disappointed

aura changes? I haven't heard anything about the texture update hitting PTB yet?
I'm glad you like the Bubba changes, but Billy is hard nerfed no if ands or buts about it. And he got the Nurse treatment too, most of his addons are just plain bad and only a few are good and only because they kind of revert him back to his basekit self. When that's the reason they're the best addons you know you've failed.

Yeah you all the auras are different now? They also updated some of the maps.
And i feel like his add ons got a buff, the apex muffler i think is insane, the chain would be really good if they change to not work as a speed limiter when it's not going through a pallet, the ones that make him move faster if a flashlight is on him, they change up the gameplay way more than the very basic add ons he had before. I realize that more fun doesn't equal better but i personally like the direction his add ons take.
And again im not a Billy main so i can't really say but i know that when nurse got nerfed she maintained S tier in popular (pc) opinion. I guess the difference here's is that nurse didn't really lose anything whereas Billy seems to have completely lost a lot of his chainsaw tech but idk i have a feeling he'll maintain as one of the stronger killers if for no other reason than the people who play him are already very skilled

I have not heard anything about aura changes or map updates. There was the last mid chapter which made some maps smaller, but anything other than that I've not seen.
I like that some of them are creative and not just a simple stat boost, but when you combine the fact that many of them are pretty much useless from improving the gameplay standpoint and his heavy-handed overheat nerf it's just a bad time. One or the other, just like with Nurse, would've been much better. I know people had problems with certain addon combos. Yet I very rarely heard people complain about either killer outside of that.
I wish they could craft interesting addons without having to gut other aspects of the killer that you then need to repair with 2 other addons that completely shut down any variety you would have had on him otherwise. It's like with Nurse. They either need to change the cooldown or remove the cooldown addons because it feels really bad having only 2 useful ones and the rest are nigh if not literally useless, for fun or improving gameplay.

There are a few important differences between the Nurse nerf and the Billy nerf:
- Nurse's power goes on cooldown after it's used. Billy's power goes on cooldown BEFORE it's used
- Nurses cooldown has no impact on the power of any given blink. Billy's nerf drastically impacts the strength of the individual usages
- Nurses nerf only puts the power on cooldown for 4 seconds tops, and typically closer to less than a second. Billy's nerf puts his power on cooldown for at LEAST 15 seconds at a time.
Also while the apex muffler is cool, the yell ruins it since that part isn't silenced.

Don't forget it's more "skillful" to just go on overheat cooldown than it is to wait for it to cool off naturally. Almost to the point where you could do it twice...

Billy get punished for using his chainsaw for longer duration. I'm pretty sure there no flick anymore either. He go into a damn overheat whenever he uses his power. He was the balance beam for all killer 's powers.
