Hillbilly (and probably Bubba too) Add-On Buffs

The small update today changed some Add-Ons and actually made them either better by changing effects or straight up buffs.

Lopros chains aren't straight up Speed Limiters anymore as an example!

EDIT: So appearently Bubba only got his Grease Add-On changed and instead of increasing tantrum movement speed (if I remember its effects correctly that is), it now increases the time you can rev before automatically going into tantrum. Not sure if anything else got changed, its possible that numbers got buffed, hard to tell with no exact % values.

    I've seen a lot of people who have their add-ons updated. Perhaps it was a hot fix. I had a 160 MB patch today morning.

    Lol at people that didnt understand the power of lopro chains before. They granted Billy so many free hits if you knew what you were doing with him.

    Of course this is a generation of players used to instasaw though.

    I’m sure new Billy will be fun with these. Constant pressure of instadowns all game. “Just loop him!” Yeah but all Billys have enduring/spirit fury, so now you gotta drop the pallet early to avoid stunning him, at which point its easier for a decent billy to prep the chainsaw to smash right through it and hit you anyway then you can follow with an M1

    I hate these developers sometimes

    Spirit says hello and even otz and tru3 said he was bad tru3 said he was just overrated.

    Ok

    1) Spirit isn’t as easy to play as most people make out. Thats why Billys mop up easily and inexperienced spirits resort to camping/tunneling hooks. Because they have no confidence in the phase walk. They mindgame themselves and end up out of position. Billy is 115% making him much easier to play for less experienced players.

    2) Otz also said Billys overheat is basically non-existant now and not a factor. So the Billy “nerf” did nothing and he said that Billy without add ons is exactly the same as before. Funny how this is overlooked.

    3) Thats tru3’s opinion and he’s entitled to it. He changes his opinion on killers a lot though based on a few bad games. I remember him arguing Billy was one of the few killers that didnt need old Ruin. He also considers wraith top tier when people like Otz out wraith as bottom-mid tier
