What would you do if nurse spirit and blight were nerfed?.

Only killer that needs nerf is Pig. And if those 3 were nerfed in same patch, I would probably take a very long break from dbd even tho I dont play them

And then Oni came...

I don’t play either of them so it would only make my survivor games easier.

Now, if they do something more stupid, like nerf Trapper, I’d immediately quit.

I would immediately jump to conclusion that the devs are survivor sided.

I'd have to disagree.

Hillbilly is a very outdated killer in this day and age, especially considering the map reworks. His chainsaw is incredibly, incredibly easy to dodge/avoid by using any sort of object or tile, so much so that even the best Hillbilly cannot get a chainsaw down on a survivor at most tiles without the survivor screwing up, which simply is not viable at higher ranks.

Not to mention, almost all reworked tiles have been altered in such a way as to make curving harder - the addition of extra corners and turns, janky hitbox zones where they didn't exist before, and the removal of soft corners except on very specific no-collision objects. If this wasn't enough to make curving (his one way of getting chainsaw downs using his own skill) a rarity, they've also given him the Overheat mechanic to limit the amount of time he can spend setting up a curve, nerfed his add-ons to make double Engravings almost unusable with the amount of heat he gains with a single rev, and given him a roar as an indicator to survivors as to when they should dodge.

And finally, just because you don't actually fully overheat very often doesn't mean the mechanic doesn't do anything. Sure, you might not actually overheat, but countless times a match you'll have your heat at very high levels. You manage it in order not to overheat, which leads to you not using your chainsaw where it could be helpful. It also limits the amount of time you can rev the chainsaw, limiting his already mediocre chase ability, and is nothing but a frustration mechanic that limits what you can do with him. It has almost no effect on backrevs, but makes curving much harder, especially with engravings.

Hillbilly is one of the most difficult killers to play - not to learn, but to play well - in the entirety of the game because of how punishing and easy to counter his power is when used. There's a reason he's not seen anymore; he is incredibly difficult to play against better survivors, and doesn't have too much of a reward to play him compared to killers like Oni or Blight who are just Billy but better. Not even mentioning the useless add-ons and janky animations.
