Dear Devs new billy is not ok

Overheat mechanic aside which is extremely frustrating and absolutely unnecessary the new billy was really destroyed. All he needed was the change of rarity of some addons and making sure that charge addons didn't stack.

Some of his addons are next to useless: mother's helpers feels more like a meme and a joke to every billy player. You gave him overheat which will punish only good billys, all the backrevvers won't be hurt in the slightest way while double engravings users, which were the elite players since it's really hard to control them, will disappear. When you charge your saw with double engravings now by the time you fully charged the saw half of the overheat bar will be full. It would be the least, considering that billy isn't anymore the same as it was, to remove the debuff from the engravings ( you removed the debuff from doctor's electrodes making them able to spam his power in a really big area, literally spray and pray while double engravings which are really hard to use still have all the downsides they had plus overheat). I would like to also address the new "fatigue" mechanic that billy has to suffer at the end of his sprint. Was it really necessary that billy had to look down after his sprint? Also i would like to appoint how underwhelming tuned carburator is. I give up 5% of my mvs for a MODERATELY faster charge speed, yet when i paired it with doom engravings which decreases charge speed SLIGHTLY i still had my bar red. Now aside from being a rare addon which should always mean a strong addon, i literally give away for the whole match 0,2 ms speed to not even make up for a doom engravings debuff?

In the end i really hope that the billy we got now won't be here for long, its pretty damn sad that you ruined a really balanced and high skillcap killer just because he needed 2 iridescent addons. I played this game for 3,4k hrs i always supported you and your choices, i always had faith in your ideas but this one this time really hurts.


PS i just saw that not only engravings still have charge debuff but they even were nerfed regarding speed boost, i really beg you to reconsider your choices

    Addons are still bad, some next to useless. The only decent addons like Doom Engravings didnt need a nerf.

    Billys animations feel wonky as ****, especially when you let go of the chainsaw sprint. What happened to the old animations Billy had in patch 3.5 or something? Also can we remove the scream from Billy? It gets old really fast. If you look at Oni in comparision, his scream is needed in a gameplay perspective, since his power dramatically changes his threat level with instant down and crazy mobility. Billy has his power ready almost all the time and he didn't scream before so why was this necessary? Im just repeating myself but its out of place, gets old really fast and is annoying.

    Billy went from the most balanced killer to underpowered. Add ons are completely worthless. The devs don't care obviously. Game companies when balancing either makes something extremely overpowered or extremely underpowered. Billy is a pure example of over nerfing.

    They know, and they don't care.

    Hillbilly, in its current state, is most likely super bad. I checked all the addons, and they indeed look so horrible. This killer has been butchered, so, so bad.

    Billis addons complete garbage. I quite playing him if Devs won't fix them. Oni 100 way better now imo
