How would you change the downside of Tuned Carburettor?
The increased charge speed is nice, but it just isn't worth taking if it means that you will be a 110% Killer for the entire match. I also think that removing the downside entirely isn't a good idea.
So what downside would you give it instead of the current one to make it at least worth running?

Its a purple addon that does 2% faster charge time than an old green addon and doesnt have the rest of the benefits. It really doesnt need to have much of a downside especially one that big.

It shouldn't have a downside, it's a PURPLE add-on for god's sake. It's basically the old Primer Bulb with 2% faster charge time, so i don't know what's so crazy about it.
Same argument goes for Mother's Helpers.
The problem with Billy's add-ons now is that pretty much everything comes with a stupid downside.

yeah like aside from the lopro chains he like doesnt have a single addons worth using.

The Downside is fine. Hillbilly does not need Charge Add Ons in the first place, so giving one of the Add Ons which reduce the Charge Time a big downside is fine (the other one has requirements).

Maybe reduce the increased stearing at the start of the rush. So you trade flicks for faster charge

Base charge speed is fine, wanna instasaw? You're 110%

But it doesnt even make you instasaw.

If the add-on was like old insta-saw then I think the trade-off would be fine, but currently it isn't even close to the old insta-saw.

Reduce the overheat by 50% down to 50 charges. The main issue with instasaw was the fact that Billy wasn't on a long cooldown, especially if you ran Thompson's Mix and tuning guide, and not primer bulb. I think if he had much less charges to work with but a fast chainsaw that would be a fine trade-off. Sacrificing extra chainsaw rev time/travel time for faster backrevs. And 50% would be fair, it's a high number so the brown add-on doesn't completely negate the downside.

That sounds pretty good actually. I play billy a lot but for good Billy’s that would be a good compromise

It doesn't matter if it's 0,135 seconds slower than before. They gutted billy because people used charge speed addons only to backrev and facecamp and i despise nothing more than those kind of players, not because of their playstile but because with their playstile they made sure billy would be dead.
If they would actually make it so carburator doesn't give debuffs then people would just go back to the good ol story and devs would nerf billy again.
I'd rather prefer even just death engravings debuff to be removed and i would be fine.
Billy has the best map control in the game so being 110% with fast charge speed is absolutely ok.

You have to rely on your Chainsaw more. Personally, I use it with green Engravings to come as close to crack Billy as possible. Moving that fast while also having faster charge makes using his Chainsaw between loops more viable. I have no issues being 4.4 m/s in that case. But I'd still change the Add-on slightly.
Tuned Carburettor:
- Reduces Charge time by 20 %
- Reduces base movement speed to 4.4 m/s while the Chainsaw is not overheated.

They should either leave Tuned Carb's effect in place and remove the drawback entirely (since it is a purple add-on).
OR
Give it waaaaay more benefits to make up for the reduced base speed (higher heat limit, better cooling, better turning, reduced noise, etc).
Personally, I think the second option would be a little more fun and unique, but the first would probably be easier to implement and work with.

i would change it to this
Considerably Increases Cooling
Slightly Increases bump penalty

I think giving it a bunch of extra benefits would be pretty cool. Maybe increasing the amount of time you're curving for would make the downside worth it, that'd let you pull off some insane moves with your Chainsaw.

How about removed the current downside and replace it with "downing someone with the chainsaw overheats it for 30 seconds." It'll be easier to down people thanks to the reduced charge time, but at a cost of losing your map pressure for half a minute.
People asking for it to not have a downside are insane, but the current downside is a bit much
1 -
I would make the amount of heat you gain on revving the chainsaw much higher.

i love this idea so far it’s the best idea I’ve seen for this addon
