One of the most non sense decisions they have ever made in my opinion

This killer is the best desinged killer in this game feel free to change my mind

I would rather go an old instasaw billy (like old old insta saw with old tinkerer) than go against a deathslinger twins or trickster. The path they are going with this game since more than a year now is just absolutly stupid. Just the billy nerf alone already prooves that they have zero sense for what fun in this game is. Aside from all that i do agree with the argument that charge and cooldown reduction were too good. Not on their own thats important just them stacking with each other and charge time with cooldown. I feel like some player just dont realise how bad billy actually is against a good player even before the nerf. Before you ask yourself now well how can you say that Zantex when you dont know. I do know what im talking about because im playing billy on the highest level against good players in normal matches and in the comp scene of this game too. Im known for my Billy and my Nurse. I dont want the devs to balance for the highest level because that simply wont work. I kinda feel like people just stopped talking about billy because the minority of the playerbase actually knows how to play billy and against him. And lemme tell you when players just start to predropp pallets this killer has literally nothing going for him. Billy was just so enjoyable to play before the nerf not even talking about the overheat and addon update but more like the animations and sounds he used to have. He was absolutly amazing before nowdays he feels like an old man that can barely pull up his chainsaw its like day and night. There was also no point in bringing this update either because people were complaining about a 1000 things way more than about billy. So they were like yeah we like billy and how he perfoms in chases. The best player comes out on top, yo btw we just killed him with this update he will be on the same pickrate level with hag now but we still love him promised. Billy also get significantly worse with the new maps aswell. Except coldwind for the most part, every map has insanly mad hitboxes not even talking about curving in chases but more talking about map mobility. You used to be able to slide around so many things while just sawing around the map it was beautiful.

Dont get me wrong tho billy is when played correctly still a very good killer. But why should someone that installed this game 1 month ago and is like ye this killer looks sick plays him once get his ass ripped apart still invest so much time in this killer to get actually somewhat decent at him. They are like yepp time to play ghostface and spirit again. The amount of skill you have to have on this killer is actually stupid compared to the amount of skill that the opposite sides needs to win against you. They just dropp pallet earlie hold w do gens and that is literally it i have no counterplay whatsoever against that. Luckily because billy is picked so rarely these days most player dont know how to play against him correctly.

My question is: Why do you make a killer that is so insanly well designed one of the worst killers in the game and just carry on talking about how well you know how the game works and that everything you do is the best for the game.

    This question appears in Polls every once in a while, and an overwhelming majority of forum users consistently votes for old billy. However, by the looks of it he's not going to make a return anyways.

    You're not the only one, all of us were torn apart at Billy's funeral. And I don't mean literally torn apart, I mean ######### depressed.

    Prefer new Billy. A lot of addon changes are terrible but the overheating and the roar bring him more up to par for counters/penalty's like newer strong killers for incorrect use of the power. Roar needs to stay, it's for the survivor players who don't live and breathe the game to time his chainsaw
