Can you just remove overheat now?
Like your entire community has already said that base-kit billy wasn't the problem and you realized this when you changed huntress so why can't you just acknowledge that overheat wasn't a good idea and take it away. Overheat was horrible in the ptb, unnoticeable when it fully released, and then got nerfed back down later so now it's just unfun to play him.
The only problem with base-kit billy before was that he could camp hooks, all you'd need to do is make the chainsaw have a mechanic similar to leatherface's forced tantrum near a hooked survivor and you'd be good.

It doesn’t need removal. It needs toning down

Please.
I get that Billy was just a "better Oni" but Oni still has tracking potential and lots of other things in his kit Billy doesn't have. Plus Oni has better turning. There was absolutely no point in changing Billy's base-kit. Please bring back old Billy (but don't bring his old add-ons back, they were scuffed).

Being honest Oni always had a better snowball potential then Billy as well due to said control/no wall bumps/AoE attacks/Faster instant downs while Billy was more consistant then Oni.

IDK Why they thought it would be a good Idea. And is so taxating... Overheat on Billy really hinders him in large maps since he'll be using the chainsaw to traverse the map and trying to get downs...
Bubba otherwise COULD get a hefty overheat when overly revving to nerf a little of the good ol' facecamping Bubba.

Just make him overheat only near hooked survivors.
On top of overheat his power lost its aim dressing. Even if you get a perfect curve without "Spamming" your power you can SLIDE off survivors, ruining any mindgames you put in and time in the chase as well.
Billy already had a cooldown, I don't understand why he needs chainsaw cooldown and chainsaw overheat...

Someone brought this up to me, but I believe Billy wouldn't have been nerfed so hard if at least a single developer at BHVR mained him.
Many developers main huntress, and you can see the disparity between her OP addon nerf, and Billys OP addon nerf. If someone at the studio was a true flick Billy they would absolutely see this as unfair.

Honestly, I like the idea of an Overheat mechanic.
It's a tried and true way of giving a character resource management and risk-reward.
The problem is that they forgot to give Billy the "Reward" part.
Keep Overheat, but increase his charge speed and lower the CD based on how hot the saw is.

At this point I'd say it needs removal, I just don't see the point in it. Cause they either tone it down till players barely notice it for it to be bearable or remove it, and if its barely noticeable what's the point of having it in the first place other then to use it as an excuse to fill up his add on slots with more useless garbage then it already has.

It’s to have a cooldown for his power like any other killer. Every killer besides wraith has some sort of cooldown or limit on their power. Only made sense for hillbilly to get one too.
He still has some okay add ons anyway. Engravings, lopro chains and mothers helpers are all pretty good

Yes almost ever killer has a cooldown of some kind but why do they need 1 not every killer should have the same or even similar mechanics I mean pig also doesn't really have a cooldown she can spam her dash as much as she wants, not a good idea but she can do it, and yeah wraith doesn't either nor should he. It just feels like lazy game design.
Lopro is fine now, engravings don't feel good to me at all granted I barely used them before but they certainly don't feel better then before, and mothers helpers are only decent when ran with at least enduring and even then I'm not a fan of it. Also having like 2 arguably 3 decent addons still means he has mostly garbage addons, cant even drift king Billy anymore because of overheat.

Can you just remove billy from the game lol... Hes too nerfed, even bubba is better than him right now.
People saying that billy is still better because of map pressure is just wrong.
Of course he has the best map pressure of the game, but it does nothing if you have to go for m1's because your chainsaw was nerfed too hard.
Rest in peace my boy billy :(

Billy already had a cooldown, and still does along with an overheat mechanic. There were addons made specifically to reduce that cooldown, which do not exist in lieu of overheat cooldowns now.
