Good Curve Billy is one of the most fun matches you can get as Survivor

I love curve billy. He is so rare that I don't know when I saw him last time. Probably months ago. Any Billy is great to VS but curve billy who can do it is the most fun experience ever. Even if you get destroyed by him I don't care, Its deserved, Its fun to be outplayed by billy main. I rememeber such match long time ago againts one really good one and we was destroyed even at pallets you thought he can't curve hit you on. Best match ever.

    The problem when playing curve billy is the random objects in loops and in the map and weird hit boxes.

    Curve billy is probably the most difficult killer to master in the game. You have to know every tile in the game for every map just because of the object hit boxes.

    Most fun matches? I feel that's a preference but I dont mind seeing a billy

    Shame that hes so rare and even if they're a good billy they still have to waste ages trying to get a curve on even the most basic of loops, probably why you dont see many

    Too much trial and error using his power. Overheat worsens this by creating downtime learning loops and dissuading newer billy players from actually commiting to learning him. Small bits of rocks and invsible hitboxes makes the power aggravatingly bad.

    Compared with blight who suffer less from missing has more angles and points to correct. Indoor maps increasing in number and the hillbilly nerfs hitting him. The map change imo was the last nail in billies coffin. There so much debris qnd garbage and actually moving around the map is obnoxiously harder.

    Agreed, they are realy easy to loop and you can have a good time in a long chase.

    Fun is subjective

    It also used to be pretty fun to try at this playstyle and gradually get better at it over time, at least for me.

    But ever since Overheat made it in and heavily punishes you for trying it (you gotta hold your power around structures and then when the Survivor makes a misstep you dash around the object and saw them down, all of which increases the "f- you bar"), I've dropped Billy like a hot potatoe.

    Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if the only good curve Billies out there are the ones that learned him back when that stupid mechanic wasn't a thing. Nowadays you just get punished so severely for attempting this playstyle and not being a god at it, that it doesn't surprise me that most gave up on him.

    It's a shame, because I always liked seeing really good Hillbillies - even if they utterly obliterated me.

    Yeah, sure, IF you're the kind of survivor who likes to have fun like that. Most people? Most people will just throw pallets early and not play that game with a curve Billy. Still don't understand why overheat is a mechanic when it discourages more people playing Billy and learning to curve in the first place.

    But yeah, it is fun for both sides
