Billy Changes

Is it just me, or are Billy's changes one of the worst decisions BHVR made in a long time?

This literally increases his camping capabilities while nerfing his chase power and map mobility. Wasn't the overheat introduced to limit his camping ability in the first place? And yet, they make such a dumb decision. This is the exact opposite of should have happened. More overheat when camping, less overheat in chase.

On top of that they decided to nerf 2 of his best addons. There is a reason why almost every Billy would run them. It enables a whole different play style. Without them the Hillbilly is too slow to land curves in most loops, since the survivor has enough time to step out of the way or get behind a corner. With this nerf this might happen even with double engravings. Yet his awful addons (3/4 of all of his addons, let's be honest) weren't touched.

The Hillbilly already need some QoL changes. This will make him feel even worse to play.

    Seriously! This is just a nerf to an already dead killer, no one will play him anymore. The fact that they nerfed Billy’s speed add ons before Blight’s is bullshit.

    I’m assuming they nerfed engravings because of how popular they are, but they will STILL be his most popular add ons because the rest are awful.

    Long story short: yes. Facecamp, that's all the chainsaw is good for now.

    I have a tinfoil conspiracy that someone at bhvr just hates Billy. like just delete him at this point, there really is no reason to play him anymore.

    meanwhile Blight stays the same, blight is never getting touched, all hail blight. Blight is the poster child while billy was an afterthought, and it's ironic considering billy's been around way longer then blight has.

    Nurse also gets a slap on the wrist when she got "nerfed" while Billy got taken out to the back and shotgunned him to the head.

    it's very lore accurate to how Billy was abused during his childhood and the cycle still continues on during his adulthood.

    (I do apologize for being mellow dramatic, but it's also with a spice of sarcasm, lol)
