Billie Nerf From A Survivor Main’s Perspective
The nerf was majorly bad for Billie. He used to be a dangerous killer, one you had to be good to go against. Now, he’s weak, you have to be really bad to lose to him. I love his new terror radius music, definitely one of the best in the game, but other than that, not too much about him is good. He maybe needed some tweaking just because he was i tiny bit OP, but he didn’t need to have his legs cut out from underneath him. Now he’s just a killer for new players because he’s just not good enough.

I think in the post-map rework era, a nerf was justified. He was a king during an age of absolute bonkers imbalance. Insta heals, god windows, pre-nerfed toolboxes, etc.
I still flip back and forth on whether it was too much. His addons are just not that good. That’s my primary gripe.
He still wrecks teams, but can be wrecked. My main issue when I lose with him is going for chainsaws at loops too often. Which is what makes him exciting even now: The chance to hit an unexpected chainsaw.
My favorite is chainsawing at a T&L loop.

I used to love how he’d come flying all the way across the map. He was the hardest killer to try to win a 3-gen scenario against. Almost impossible. Made for some really exciting matches.

His addons needed a tone down but they did too much

He's still strong.

He’s about hag level strong if I was to rate him. He used to be in the top 3, now he’s in the bottom 3. Basically I haven’t really played against a good Billie since the nerf.

Billy has no niche anymore. He does many things but he excels in nothing, so he just gets outclassed by other killers. The overheat and roar are both dumb but his biggest hit was his add-ons being reworked into complete garbage and now he has the worst in the entire roster. Add-ons are what made Billy much better and more fun, but all you have now is rank 20 useless meme #########, and the ones that actually help you either have to come with a penality like the Engravings or some ridiculous activation condition like Mother's Helpers.
The devs must be happy with him being an extinct killer though, it pushes DLC sales ;)

Hag is in the Top 3 killers, as agreed by most people.

I loved every single one of the games i had with the billy players, he was fun to verse and still is but nobody is playing him.

Um... no.

Um yeah, Hag is one of the best killers in the game hands down. Next to Spirit and Nurse, she's one of the most popular killers to play in tournaments.

If you think Hag is bottom 3 then you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the game.

because tournaments are all about camping and she excels at that.

Why are all the hags in solo Q so bad then?

I run into a lot of terrible Nurse's. Guess she's not top tier either, then.

The Map changes didn't make him any better..ges actually weaker with the extra pallets to stop his saws..and the age of imbalance is still very much present..a few map updates arnt enough to fix the mess..especially if gideon is what's considered balanced

Because he's more frustrating than fun now

Billy didn't need a nerf. What he did need was some of his addons reworked/nerfed.

Yeah, but you also run into good ones.
