With the buffs to Billy, I wanted to see what the community thinks to the "fun-ness" of Billy.

    He is much more relentless and it makes him more fun to play as and against.

    I have add multiple users DC against Hillbillys last night and I personally think looping a Hillbilly is the most boring Killer to go against. Furthermore when 3 survivors in downed and hooked by Billy in less than 2min, im not saying to myself, "wow this is such a great time."

    It's not fun because there is no punishment to land your skill. You can miss and just hit again right away -_-... What is the point to play a killer if you don't rewarded for good plays?

    He's probably the most well-designed Killer in the game now, very fun to play, very fun to play against.

    I've been steamrolled by him a couple of times, but there's still room for outplaying him. He's a menacing killer to go against now, while also still having the same counterplay as per usual, and that's a good thing.

    Also, playing as the new Billy is the most fun I've had in this game in a while, and that's saying a lot.

    after the buff with overdrive i still enjoyed playing against billy, but the increased window for curves ruined him. i hate to play against him now

    But i think they should tune down "overdrive chainsaw cooldown" a little bit

    He is absolutely OBNOXIOUS to play against when he's spamming his chainsaw the whole game, which is perfectly fine since there's practically no punishment for missing a chainsaw whatsoever. He is so freaking fast that he can break a pallet with his chainsaw and still down you halfway on your way to the very next loop. Imo his overdrive is absolute overkill, his basekit changes and overheat gone is all he needed to be viable and still fun for both side. I certainly have NO FUN WHATSOEVER against billy anymore.

    Edit: I currently hate facing him more than I ever hated going against a chess merchant! Against that you at least had a chance to get to play. With a billy chainsawing anyone in two minutes, its just a waste of time, imo.

    It took a while but now ever since the deserved buffs he is my favorite killer to verse, and even play as.

    For me he's very fun to play now (even tho I stil think he feels a bit clunky sometimes).

    Playing against him is exciting and looks funny as hell for me when he just sudenly does a 180 around an entire loop xD

    I fell his cooldown a bit to short between two chainsaw uses and his overdrive can't be slow down (even with his add-ons, or just a bit). Almost all his turns are failed and it puts him often out of control (it requires too much practice to control it perfectly).
    Add to that, no more Space Billy… So few Billys still have his legendary Billy's Ego anymore. A lot of them just use these disgusting yellow boots to increase his turn rate… and many still use only his M1 because they are obviously lazy like all the common M1 killers…
    I think Billy was fun to play against… But as BVHR has no idea how to play him, you have this kind of Billy today… Sad.
