The new Hillbilly is complete trash

And that was a great change. Billy is still the same. Only people that crutched on charge addons are upset

He is still the same. Nerf????????? I don't know what the devs did

The only problem for me is double engravings are slower than before, I mean, they are trash. So, jungle gym flicks are impossible now, you are just so slow. You won't get a survivor if you try to do that. At short tiles like cars on Azarov - yeah, but jungle gyms - meh, just play a mediocre Billy, it's better now.

And again, they were crying that you didn't need skill to play him, so now after this change you should have good skill to play him (ahahaha). Yeah, flicks at most of the tiles are barely possible now, so the feature that required skill was deleted. He's just a backrev Billy now, the thing that is concidered to be noobish.

That's the usual thing. People who abused cheap and busted Add-On's will now succ arse with new Base Billy because they won't have busted crap anymore.

People who played base kit Billy before will do just as fine with current Billy since those People didn't rely on certain Add-On's to win Matches.

Same happened when Nurse got reworked. People lost their precious Omega/3-5 Blink Nurse and then said the Killer was trash after the Rework but that's not the case because People who played Basekit Nurse before will do the same with current Nurse, I still think she needs other Basekit Changes and make her less miserable. Billy went from Garbage to pretty much the same as before but with actual slight basekit Changes and Restrictions which won't affect good Billy's but also nerfed the busted Add-On's.

Nurse already had Restrictions and now it's worse. They should've just increased the fatigue time since the Counter to Nurse makes more sense (hiding from her LoS while she can't see anything). But currently she sees you and can just hold W and don't you dare mess up a Blink because you didn't wait for the 100 % but only 98.9 % so no 2nd Blink for you (which is the most frustrating Part).

I played Hillbilly a lot prenerf and had low low expectations. He’s still exactly the dominating force he was before. Just the add ons were removed.

Granted they were good addons.

But he doesn’t need them.

The silent Billy builds coming out are actually a lot of fun and didn’t exist before. Looking forward to the hotfix so his addons get a slight boost.

Alright, calling out on Billy in general and just talking about the addons...

"Speedlimiter" is outdated, you just get a free hit now when the survivor times the pallet bad. This is actually a really good addon now. So is the Leafy Mash (combine it with Infectious Fright) and Apex Muffler (combine it with Tinkerer for example or the other Iri addon). Just as examples. And the drift king is still available. Tuning Guide is Bubba btw

If you say so, the "nerf" was ridiculous he still has the same velocity,if chainsaw never overheats... What Is the difference between old and new Billy?

No charge or cooldown add ons. Chainsaw camping comes at a cost. That’s the crux of the change.

The primary concern was that Hillbilly would be too difficult to play basekit. There’s no issues there in my experience. They actually did a good job with this change.

Itll be great when they update the add ons.

He's worse, sure.

Trash?

Absolutely not.

Why play Billy when you can play Leatherface- the factual, better, chainsaw killer!

Your argument applies to pretty much every Killer.

As for Billy, there's more to it than just blindly following a looper. You can pick the area you want to chase people, you can pick the area where you want to defend the last gens. You can quickly switch targets and catch Survivors in bad positions near exposed gens ect.

So yea, I can loop most Billys for 5 gens straight because they blindly follow me through the safe zones. Good Billys will switch targets and eventually catch someone off guard and that's usually when the snowballing begins.

your comment only shows how weak you are, I can play with all the killers and I would continue defeating you without getting my hands dirty, even with Billi without using the chainsaw ... if you were as good as you say ... you would see that Billy is more powerful that other killers, he has speed, with a single hit he knocks you out, what more do you want in a killer? hahaha easier nor can . you better play with Barbies if you want an easy game like playing with Billy ...

I have 4 k in this game and I play with all killers, I so strong with everyone...

To finish with someone as pathetic as you, who only tries to challenge people instead of giving opinions, I play on Xbox and it is more difficult to play on consoles than on PC. the reason is very simple, on PC you can control the killer with the whole hand and on consoles you must control him with only your thumb, even an monkey like you will understand that using 5 fingers, a wrist and a complete hand is better than just a thumb.

As a rank 1 billy main on xbox one, i could care less about his charge time add ons. Billy use to be super fun to play but now even at base kit he feels clunky.

Any real billy main will tell you billy just feels funny. His overheat mechanic basically doesnt exist it pretty doesnt affect his normal gameplay, but his roar and his movement just isnt right anymore.

My opinion on it is that people that weren't abusing him, especially on some maps, probably didn't have to make too much of an effort adjusting to the changes and may not even notice them much. The hillbilly should have been looked at 4 years ago, though I don't blame people that abused him considering swf also should have addressed as long ago. But taking a look into hillbilly was justified, it's just the degree of how he's touched where disagreements would be. After he's been used a while and they get more feedback, especially considering how unhappy killer players are becoming in general lately,t hey'll probably touch him up a bit to safer degrees like with addons or something.

When somebody comes back after 4 years, farts around doing a chase daily for the hillbilly and a rift challenge at the same time using rtss overlay to time it accurately... then procedes to whirl around the map and kill 3 guys and feels bad enough to let the fourth wiggle out at the gate when they don't even know what they were doing theirself any more a killer needed some tuning. I was shocked they hadn't done anything about him after even 4 years when I came back a couple or few months ago. I was equally surprised I wasn't encountering a lot of them msyelf as a survivor because of how easy he was to use.

It's really interesting how many people threw Billy off the top of the mountain with this nerf. In my opinion he's still a top tier killer. It's very strange that others dropped him without charge addons.
