How to actually balance the chainsaw.

Chainsaw's have fuel right so why not add a number of amount of times you can use the chainsaw before It runs out of fuel then you have to get a gas can to refuel It. This way killer's cannot spam with Bubba or Hillbilly 24/7

    That could work like huntress hatchets I hate being chased by an Infinite chainsaw It needs something like this not just a long penalty timer

    There should be a penalty on using the chainsaw. The way it is now especially with this update is too OP

    Honestly, I think the updated powers that Billy and LF got are fine.

    Billy's overheat doesn't really have a major impact on standard gameplay with him. All it does is stop those players who lead long chases while 99'ing the chainsaw and prevent him from "Rev-Camping" hooks.

    And Bubba got a buff; his power offers him more utility than it used to with lesser downsides. I think his ability to "Rev-Camp" may have also been reduced, but I'm not entirely sure with his aggressive tantrum on overheat.

    They balanced Bubba’s before. He had unlimited instadowns from the get-go, however the balance was he slowed down while charging which gave a survivor a chance to evade, and if Bubba missed he went into a long tantrum. That way he couldnt instadown survivors as base instantly from the start of the trial but if he caught survivors out of position, or they made a mistake and let him bodyblock a window they went down in one hit.

    Then on the other hand you had a kilelr that can (and still can) casually walk behind a survivor with no real slowdown, aim it, swing, and if he misses its a miniscule small cooldown before he can swing again.

    They will never balance Billy though. Hes been overpowered for so long the killer mains will never allow it and they tend to have the final say on most things

    He was literally useless in the ptb so they put the overheat numbers down alittle bit and you guys are still complaining hes overpowered with no instasaw and a few nice but mostly crap addons?
