What is the point in the PTB?
What is the point in the PTB if the Devs will ignore the fact that the whole community didn't want a Billy nerf? We have voiced this during the PTB and know we will be ignored! The Rawring is stupid (literally him crying he has been nerfed) and backsaw was easy to loop if you weren't brain dead, only instant saw really needed to go and even then it was fine maybe just make it pink instead. Please we didn't want a Billy nerf and will feel like the Devs literally ignore everything we say even if they are valid points. Billy took skill to learn and you just shat on the people that put the time in to learn him.
TL;Dr no one wants Billy nerf. Don't go ahead with it Devs if you listen to your community at all.

There are other people in the community than the vocal killer mains on this forum (and other social media). They probably get feedback from other sides as well, also they will look into statistics and will see how Billy performs during the PTB compared to before. I am not saying I think the rework was necessary or justified btw. Just taking a reasonable point of view.
they may even adjust him for the live version, or did they confirm he will be left as is?

"(literally him crying he has been nerfed)" that legit made me lol.
Cynically: It's for testing game-breaking bugs and making sure the changes in game are the changes they actually made (aka wonky addons etc.)
Hopefully: They're listening to our feedback and deciding to wait a long time before making changes again despite overwhelmingly negative feedback.

I mostly play survivor now a days although have mained both to rank 1 back before emblems and during emblems. I just think he is going to be wait to easy to juke now he screams and the cooldown is a massive nerf and punishment. As a bubba main though I am happy 😂

Honestly probably just to see if there's something in the changes that cause a major game crash or unexpected broken interaction. They won't listen to balance feedback, but they're likely to listen if for example using Bubba's new power on a certain map caused the game to freeze or something.

Testing for bugs and seeing the community response to the changes. What to do with this data is on them but the main intention is to just get this data.

It's just a demo to "prepare" us what they WILL do no matter what we say

It's to get as many people as possible and to try to break the game to find as many bugs as possible

What he said.

I do think there will be some nerfs to Bubba's addons before they go live. I've seen some seriously broken gameplay with certain combos. Like, chainsaw frenzy over half way across the map and for nearly 40 seconds. It's nuts. Monto did some vids on it.

I do feel like the devs have listened to feedback of the ptb before, for sure, like when Oni was prettty broken in the ptb, or Spirit getting buffs since she was too weak in the ptb.
I still understand why the devs did nerf Nurse despite the feedback, but I do actually think the devs will listen to feedback to lessen the overheat values so Billys chainsaw will overheat slower than it does on the ptb. But I'm of course not sure about that.
