What happened to "We love versing Hillbilly!!!111111"!@!"11"???

So are all these Billy haters in the room with us right now?

I think I've seen more threads pretending that survivors hate Billy now than actual hate for Billy at this point. The only frequent complaint I've come across is about the lack of cooldown for missing, which has been a problem for different killers again and again lately and shouldn't be a surprise.

I still enjoy facing Billy and I believe he's fine as he is (though the dissipation add-ons could be replaced because they're god-awfully useless). I've played a lot of Billy even before the Overheat rework, so I understand his counterplay.

Many newer players haven't played against a threatening Hillbilly due to how rare they were. Before Overheat happened, Hillbilly had better map collision, stronger add-ons, and more players. Once Overheat dropped, everything about his strengths were abolished. More indoor maps, worse add-ons... Now that Overdrive dropped, people are willing to learn Billy because he's far less painful to play as.

It makes me hope that BHVR does not listen to that crowd because this is the same thing that happened with Wraith. He pub stomps newer players that don't know how to play against a now threatening Wraith, they complain about it, and BHVR nerfs his base-kit speed boost from 1.25 to 1 second.

I still love facing him and playing him. always did except for during overheat because it made him so unfun. Like others have stated i just wanna see his cooldown addons reworked and his overheat dissipation and stuff since one side is straight busted and the others are useless.

I genuinely think Billy is an S-Tier Killer now. Up there with Nurse and Blight. Whether or not he should stay there, I don't know. Most Killers can't really compete at the highest level, so maybe it's a good thing for those players to have another Killer to Vs.

When all the Billys have won so often that they'll be out of my MMR, I'll probably stop seeing him all that much. I think it's another case of over saturation, more Killer buffs this patch and a lack of Survivor interest in Alan Wake's perks that have created some uneven match ups between experienced Killers playing Billy again and not enough experienced Survivors returning to the game for them to play against. It's what always seems to happen whenever BHVR release a strong new Killer (or buff an old one), but don't give Survivors all that much in return. Everybody ends up dead at 5 gens 10 games in a row against the same Killer and it gets old pretty fast.

I can't fathom why it would be shocking that players might dislike playing against a killer that loses nothing from missing with their power. At least give some thought as to what changed about the character before over-simplifying the argument.

I play both sides and I have a variety of mains on both sides, this is not how killer feels every game. Every survivor plays the exact same with changes only being necessary for playstyle depending on what killer you get. On the other hand, every killer plays differently, even killers with similar kits play differently. If you stick to only one single killer, yeah every match is going to feel the exact same because you don't need to shake anything up in terms of playstyle. Survivor on the other hand, you depend on who the person playing killer chose to play in order to have any shake up since you can't just change survivor and have something new to work with, as I said earlier.

I'm not saying Hillbilly is boring to play as because I've played new Overdrive Billy, that's the most fun I've ever had as Billy even compared to pre-Overheat Billy. I can think Hillbilly is very fun to play now, but it doesn't mean I want to stick strictly to playing Hillbilly and it definitely doesn't mean I only want to face Hillbilly.

Both sides will always have a level of repetition that's always there and that won't go away. If we look at matches in the way you're looking at it for "This is how killers feel every game" then that's just how dbd is every game regardless of side.

I still like facing him. Probably even more now b/c the chases with him are very high-pressure. He's always right on your tail. His missed hit cooldown addons can be nerfed but besides that, I think he's completely fine. IMO people are overreacting and/or not used to the pressure he puts down in chases so they go down fast.

I started playing the game in November and used Billy a fair bit before his buffs and I’m enjoying the reworked dude too. Sadly I’ve not faced him much as a survivor, but the couple of times I have over the last few days were such a buzz. Scary as hell seeing that madman rushing at breakneck speed at you ! Great fun :)
