Can someone give me advice on how to play billy against survivors who don't fall for mindgames?

Just had a match against a team of really really strong PC players as billy and 2 of them would not fall for mind games at all and the match quickly turned into a game of breaking pallets and leaving chases that went on for too long. It's rough playing billy against a team that don't fall for moonwalking or double backing, honestly, it might just be me playing a killer I haven't played in a long time, but he really does seem to need an increase to charge for his chainsaw in my opinion.

I got destroyed due to the time wasted from both starting chases with the strong loopers and leaving chases plus facing a team that didn't fall for slugging which is usually my go-to game delayer is rough, I definitely wish I brought slowdown lots of slowdown perks as I didn't realize just how much of a rough match it would be. Basically, they brought a map offering to cold wind my guess is to counter a lot of the killers they might come across, denied 3 gens, and always knew where I was.

Though I did manage to do a sneaky trick on them by making the stars align while using bloodwarden and pretending I was looking out for flashlights while the timer was running out. Managed to get 3 of them using their overconfidence so I was kind of happy though that entire match was just bleh to be honest, with me questioning if I was good at the game because I couldn't for the life of me stop the strongest looper until I broke nearly every pallet on the map at endgame like I didn't even bother mind gaming because I just couldn't catch them off-guard using every trick I had.

I would like to get better at billy since he is getting a little buff, so maybe I might start using him again, but I would love some advice on how to beat survivors who will not fall for mind games and play every loop safely. Any advice is good to me because that match was pure pain. x-x

    Here's an easy solution...


    Play another killer. Since the nerfs, Billy is trash. Nurse is the better option.

    That sounds like a normal game actually. If this keeps happening to you like 4 games in a row I would understand, but if this happens once a night then thats to be expected to match against gods. Anyway I always find people try to use his chainsaw far to often, especially around loops. I play as an m1 until they leave the loop, then I chainsaw while they are out in the open. Thats their death sentence when I play him.

    Billy used to be my third go-to killer, I just feel sad that I cant seem to use him as well as I used to. The nurse will forever be my main, but I just feel like I should use billy every now and again, even if his mmr is nearly as high as my Nurse because I kind of miss playing as him. :(

    The problem is this is most games, this one was more noticeable because it was a super coordinated team, I just feel like I cant really do anything besides constantly breaking pallets against survivors who play it super safely meaning they didn't run into the corn and just ran tiles into tiles and delay as much time as possible each chase.

    Bamboozle,Brutal strength and save the best for last.

    billy is fundamentally not good at chasing. Just make survivors consume their resources.

    OR NURSE
