I'm doing my part! (As a Hillbilly Main)

So Hillbilly Main here mostly getting rekt by Survivors.

I eat all pallets that ever gets dropped, gets jukes and gets rekt for all my games since SBMM started. I haven't got a single 4K since Wednesday on Hillbilly. It's so hard where there's 4 survivor that knows their movement, You spawned in a Pallet City Map, and Strong Windows everywhere.

I try to chainsaw for the most part but every god dang team I faced forces me to M1. Is a Killer even good if you can't even use the dang power??

I mainly use BBQ, Pop, Enduring and Bamboozle. I don't want to bring the more powerful perks as I don't wanna sweat but these SBMM games are so frustrating.

I hope BHVR sees Hillbilly's performance on SBMM and get him the Wraith Treatment he deserves.

    Even tho the Billy nerf was unnecessary. it wasn't that bad. i do agree tho that he needs something. cause i havent seen him since just before re

    Try using Enduring and Spirit Fury (usually I pair it with BBQ with Lethal Purseue). It seems to work relatively well for me even with MMR.

    Bbq and Bamboozle are fine. Bbq is mainly for bp though.

    Drop Enduring, you don't need it to play pallets as Billy.

    As slowdown don't use a naked Pop. Go Corrupt, or Corrupt+Pop, or Ruin with your favorite combo like Undying and/or Tinkerer (only if you're feeling daring /jk).

    Perks for slots to fill could be Infectious, Whispers, Discordance (very good for when they start panicking and doubling up on gens).

    Just quit Billy and switch to better killers like everyone else did. There's a reason why you never go against him.

    Without the good add-ons his chainsaw is just way too clunky for you to down actual good survivors unless they really mess up or get caught in dead zones. And then you have to deal with RPD and other trash indoor maps. No thanks

    If I abandon Billy who else would suffer the frustrations? I'm doing my best give BHVR their crap data so my bro Billy can have his Wraith Treatment.

    I know there's some underrated killers out there that are amazing despite a perception they are not.

    Billy has the opposite problem. Whenever I see streamers put Billy in like the B tier, slightly above average, I just can't figure it out.

    Some of the devs have a bit of a hate boner for Billy and they know people still hate the nerf. They don't even want to bother fixing his buggy ass animations that have been there for like a year and a half, so don't get your hopes high for anything.

    He dropped to mid tier because even though he has mobility (IF the map is good for him), his chainsaw is way easier to deal with now that his add-ons got completely destroyed. Base Billy was never amazing and against good survivors he's mostly an M1 killer with mobility. Out of the high mobilty killers he's also the one who suffers from indoor maps the most.

    He's just not strong enough anymore for effort you have to put in, and the competition got better, so now he's just kind of outdated.

    I basically never play hillbilly these days, but he was the first killer i ever p3'd because of how much i liked him. i might sacrifice myself a bit too to make sure BHVR sees how billy is performing, i want my first main to return to his former glory :(

    May I shake your hand Sir or Mam ? Firstly I want to thank you for playing Billy and I'm keeping my fingers crossed your on the EU servers so I may see you in the fog.

    I miss Billy so much I always had such fun playing against him pre nerf and all the Billy's I played against was amazing killers but sadly I never see him anymore and it makes me sad.

    I'm sorry your having such a hard time tho 🐷💖

    Have you ever tried Leatherface? The superior serial killer? It might be a bit easier with mmr and you even get to use your chainsaw!

    Sorry, I wasn't clear in my post here - what I meant was Billy is ridiculously overrated IMHO. I would put him in the lowest tier, not B.

    Like, I genuinely have an easier time playing Legion & Clown. The only Killer I suck more with is Nurse, but it's an L2P issue with her. Maybe it's the same for Billy, but I watch Streamers with thousands of hours playtime just give up trying to land Chainsaws and play him as a M1 killer with no power for 3/4ths to match.

  • M1MASTER
    M1MASTER Member Posts: 352

    Oh, looking at the post again i misread that too.

    But yeah, Billy was always overrated and he feels awful to play these days. Old Billy was way more fun since his add-ons also helped to remove some of the clunkiness of his base kit on top of obviously making him stronger.

    Now if you want to play a guy that chainsaws people, there's no reason to pick Billy over Bubba.

  • D3spair
    D3spair Member Posts: 715

    Yea, Bubba really is an A tier compared to Billy, But NO! Who will play Billy to give crap data if not us Billy mains that can be counted in 1 hand?

    Wraith treatment?

    You want him to move faster while Chainsaw-sprinting?

    I still know some very great chainsaw Billys (some are streamers): they are mainly playing for fun, but they can choose to make some decent & legit 4k very fastly (perfect blinks & turns). So I'm convinced it is still possible to play him only with his M2 in spite of his demolished remake...

    BTW Wraith is a just another boosted buffed stealthy M1 killer (cloak/uncloak free M1 & so on...). His gameplay isn't a big challenge...

    And Bubba can easily make 4k with an unfair & unskilled gameplay (forcing surv to drop early all pallets with his chainsaw or to down them if they don't).

    It's definitively not the same gameplays.

  • D3spair
    D3spair Member Posts: 715

    No, I want more Buffs to Billy making him to be the Strong and Literal "Easy" Killer he deserves.

    Right now he is tagged as an "Easy" Killer. Maybe I'm not seeing correctly but Hillbilly is not an Easy Killer.

    I main Huntress and it is nothing but sweat squads at my MMR. I uninstalled after just 5 matches in a row of that. This game is not balanced enough to deserve SBMM because it is literally just a party game.

    Yup I'm agree with that too. But BVHR only can do something but I seriously doubt that they will reverse his remake...
