*Thank you BHVR!

*The engravings change was reverted! Thanks so much guys, was getting worried when I read the "engravings" section of the patch notes. Thanks again! :)

In the upcoming hotfix patch, a bunch of add-ons for the chainsaw bros are being changed. The problem is that the engravings on bubba and billy have been nerfed to a point where they no longer serve their purpose well and now actively hurt you, like the old Award Winning Chili.

The Death and Doom Engravings have gone from 15% and 20% movement speed respectively to 3% and 7%, while bubba's marks have gone from 5% and 10% to 0.5% and 1.25%. They've also nerfed the charge rate so they're all now 20% slower instead of 12%.

Bubba, I can understand these add-ons being changed as they're obsolete with the rework but this is a heavy, heavy nerf and not a rework. This nerf makes no sense. Not only are these add-ons becoming useless, but now the most skillful thing you can do with billy, curving with double engravings, has been essentially removed. Nobody complained about this, as it was skillful, difficult to do, had counterplay, and you yourselves said you wouldn't remove it. You just can't go fast enough to curve at loops reliably, and if you do want a measly 10% bonus you need to sacrifice 40% charge speed. And the overheat mechanic, plus the nerfs they'll do in the hotfix to said mechanic, punished these add-ons already by heating up more, which is exacerbated by the charge nerf.

Bhvr, this change, at least on the engravings, is completely insane and makes the add-ons hurt you while removing his most skillful way to play. I can see why the bubba ones are changed but not billy's; they actually already got nerfed with the overheat mechanic. The only problematic thing with these add-ons was pairing doom Engravings with old Carburetor, but that's gone now.

I hate to tag devs because people do it a lot for mundane reasons, but @Peanits @Almo @PatBrutal , are these changes to the Engravings really necessary? They just kill the add-ons and any higher level skillful play more than the PTB overheat would have if these add-ons remained the same. The nerf to these add-ons is so immense and strange for add-ons that are strictly not a problem and already had a sizable drawback. Thanks for listening.
