You guys think Hillbilly is getting buff?

Whoever labelled him as an "Easy" Killer should probably play him in higher SBMM Brackets.

He is so hard to play as (against good survs) with crappy Add Ons (Refer to the Video). He was the most balanced Killer pre nerf. Now he has so many counter play with so many punishments.

Can't Billy get the Wraith treatment of being a literally "Easy" Killer with little Counterplay?

    95% chance not, they want you to pay to win for his licensed counterpart. Who also comes with BBQ and Chili, a must have for new players facing a terrible grind ahead.

    Now Billy, I can't think of any add-ons that I can recommend for beginners. I've given up on add-ons, so I wish you'd do something about the overheat.

    Nope, they don't wanna admit they butchered him. Hell I'm sure they still think he's over performing because he actually gets 1 kill every 10 matches.

  • Ive been maining billy for 2 weeks now

    he is not bad far from it yes if u overuse the chainsaw its easy to overheat i suggest make the filter baseket and he is a lot beter

    now why do people think he sucks

    Wraith is not an "easy killer with little counterplay" against high skill survivors. There is more to him than people want to admit.

    Hillbilly is the most fun killer to play both against and as for me. Get used to the overheating mechanic and act like a complete unpredictable nutter, and he's brilliant to face!

    Granted, the overheat mechanic wasn't needed, and even when the devs did the change, they said he was where they wanted him to be, so the change was - and I admit I'm fairly impartial in the relation to the "I love BHVR/ BHVR are fools" - but this was probably the number 1 decision I thought showed complete lunacy and bad decision making.

    People just need to try him and discover if fun is always about winning, or having a great game. I'm definitely in the latter group.

    Sadly I doubt it. I used to love facing Billy. Unfortunately he's so rare you barely see him anymore.

    TBH he is in more need of an addon pass now than pre rework. Like pre rework addons were widely accepted as too strong but the basic concepts of them werent bad just give a bunch of number changes and split some of the ones that combined 20 different addons currently almost all of his addons are useless and so many of them work only in niche circumstances and are barely noticable.

    Maybe Add a little, does not Stack to some Addons and decrease some Values would have been enought to make his Addons more balanced. They could for example take a look at Bubba or Blight to rework them if they ever plan on doing so. Also i guess we now just have to life with the Overheat even if i (and many other) see it as a useless Addition to make him less fun.


    Nevertheless he is still a fun Killer to play as. There is just not anything you can do with Addons. But ey, there is still Perk Combos you can try out and maybe they're gonna take a look at ol' Max in a few Years. (Maybe that sounds ######### but what are you gonna do ?)

    He needs an addon pass.

    Then with SBMM you won't go against top survivors.
