Make Hillbilly Great Again

Options

Perhaps the most nonsensical change ever was Hillbilly's rework. A previous top 5 or even top 3 killer who was widely regarded as one of the most fun and interactive killers to play against is now a laughingstock you see once in a blue moon who requires more effort than 95% of the cast to get the same results as a Legion.

    Only problem with old Hillbilly was insta chainsaw add-ons. His add-ons were way too good and even killer with low experience on him could win quite easy with him.

    Only thing he needed was nerf his OP add-ons. What we got instead? (Almost) No charge speed addons, big nerfs to base kit and all his add-ons (generaly speaking) and worse and worse maps for him.

    For the most part, yes, I agree. Old Insta-saw was busted as hell, though.

    I kind of think the devs might just legit hate Billy. Most of the skins he get's are garbage (imo), overheat is a pointless mechanic, and all his add-ons are pretty #########.

    The worst crime was taking Sky Billy away.

    Was it overtuned? Sure, would it be worse than Alch ring, Omega blink, Mother daughter ring?

    I don't think so.

    I do think Instasaw was a bit much but I also don't think it's any worse than any of the add-ons on here.

    Making tuning guide a purple and adding some kind of downside for stacking cooldown add-ons would've been perfect but instead we gutted a killer who "was in a good spot".

    Charge Add-Ons deserved the nerf. So do Compound Thirty-Three, Alchemist Ring, MDR/DCB, Nurse range Add-Ons and extra Blink and Tombstone Piece

    it's definitely weird how inconsistent killer changes are. they've buffed killers that are widely considered overpowered and nerfed killers widely considered weak.

    Unfortunately devs hates Billy and they will never make him good again.

    Someone in the dev team really hates Billy. Just be glad they haven't "accidentally" deleted him yet.

    This is what does my head in about the devs, they make changes that are almost universally depsised and pat themselves on the back thinking they've done a bang up job. He needed his add ons reworking, that's all, not gutting him in the worst way possible. He's still a decent killer but you have to put so many hours into mastering him now that it just isn't worth it.

    They should remove his overheating definetely but devs really seem to not like him they even removed skybilly.

    I just want Skybilly back, insta saw was not really that fun to play against or that hard to play as
