Hillbilly worst killer?!?

Billy was already weak before the nerf, he is now worst but i have fun with him.

But ye, he requires skill and is not that good at looping, not the worst though.

Yeah, I don't really understand why he had to get an overheat either. It's understandable why they had to remove some of his more troublesome addons before, because they were too much, but it would've been better to just remove those addons entirely instead of creating a new annoying mechanic and pretending that gives depth to the killer. Like, no one is ever going to use those goofy "undetectable while the chainsaw is overheating" addons or w/e.

I guess they didn't want high-level Hillbilly players to keep baiting survivors by feathering their chainsaw, but that just means if you want to play a high-mobility killer that punishes holding W, your only options are Nurse and Blight. And hey, wouldn't you know it, everyone complains about only seeing Nurse and Blight at high MMR. Funny how that goes.

Hillbilly is still strong, because built-in instadowns are always threatening, but learning Hillbilly means dumping hundreds of hours into a complicated, high-skill killer against survivors with thousands of hours who have been juking Hillbillies since he came out. Even if you do get good, Overheating means you'll never be able to pull off what good Hillbillies used to be able to do. If you're not farming for YouTube montage clips, you might as well just join everyone else on the Blight/Nurse bandwagon.

billy isnt great in his current state but hes atleast top of c tier bottom of b

Billy was my first killer to play as and he was a buggy mess don't main him too much, I've won a game once against a SWF cause i gained Speedhax in the middle of the match, and it was GLORIOUS i started to run around the whole match in the same speed as the chainsaw run. It was Hilarious and Addictive, Survivors accused me of cheating even though it was DBD's buggy codes that did it. lol

The not so good one that I've encountered is when i downed and hooked 3 survivors all at once but I hit a rock right after all of a sudden it slowed me down like heck, I can't move and i was slowly drifting away, like my character was being dragged very slowly, and it made me furious like I was so close to winning the game and getting a 4k then it happened, I was going to accuse the other team of hacking but when i got to the chat box they accused me of wallhacking, and I was like how am i wallhacking you were all predictable and running straight into my path, and I was the one who's been cheated cause somehow my character has been disabled for the remainder of the match.

TLDR: Billy is a buggy mess don't get too attached.

Not in 2017, but way before Overheat was a thing. And when do you need to chain 30 Chainsaws? IMO if someone overheats, they went for too ambitious Chainsaws. You can still sprint full Map with Billy and have enough Overheat-Limit to try a few Chainsaws. It is not like you are heavily restricted.

Also, the Add Ons for Overheat are not bad at all. The brown Add On which increases Overheat-Limit is what I usually use (combined with Engravings).

People often say this but it’s just not true. I think it started with some youtubers and now everyone just repeats it.

Overheat is noticeable even if you play efficiently. If you want to consistently curve at tiles and use your chainsaw for mobility, you’re going to overheat.

Overheat isnt unplayable, especially if you can get your downs and run a good info perk like tinkerer or discordance. what i dislike about overheat is that it doesnt nerf his strengh and makes him more punishing, lets say you use 2 saws to get around in a row, if you now miss 1-2 saws, you cant use your chainsaw. used to be worse if you were playing flickbilly before his speed addons got buffed, but its something that punishes you for not being on top of your game, which makes him unnecessarily punishing for new players.

A good Billy is still mid tier, similar to a good demo, but if we wanted to see him stronger, you need to just rework his addons. they're either stealth addons which just dont work for a killer witha loud chainsaw, or affect parts of his kit you dont want to happen anyway, like getting blinded or overheating your chainsaw.
