Nerf hillbily

He is in a good spot, he is strong but still loop able, playing against a curve Billy is awesome and overall if you do poorly against Billy that just means you need to learn how to play against him. Go to some decent players stream or some comp streamer and ask for tips. Billy is great design because on every loop your decision makes an impact whether you get hit or not.

"Unstoppable". The same can be said for any killer when you don't apply their counterplay. In Hillbilly's case, your counterplay is mind gaming him, identifying loops where he will definitely hit you and not give him the pallet side, spreading out (you don't want him to start slugging), chaining loops and using loops with bad collision. When he enters overdrive you can also try to play around tight corners as a last resort. The extra speed makes it close to impossible to take these tight turns.

There is no justification for someone disconnecting in a match as long as all players play by the rules. So, if 2 survivors disconnect against him in the first 30 seconds, it is not "rightfully" so. A good Hillbilly is hard to beat (which is a good thing because a lot of skill goes into playing him). But you can definitely do it.

It's not your job to counter that, it's these team mates' job. How do you go down right at the start of the match and how do you make that 2 downs? The first thing you do when the match starts is spread out. Especially against an insta down killer. It also doesn't hurt to be a little careful for the first 11 seconds of the match and watch out for cross map chainsaw snip with Lethal Pursuer. Luckily the counterplay to this is quite easy, look towards the middle of the map and position yourself behind an object, so that he can't hit you behind it. Or you do option 2 which is running and then changing directions when he comes closer. His turn rate and speed will not allow him to correct the aim. Even with both Dad's Boots and Spiked Boots you're golden, if you do it correctly. After that, do what I said in the previous post.

When 2 people disconnect, you won't win the match anymore but this is not on the killer but on your team mates for being entitled dicks. Against a proxy camping Hillbilly, you have 3 options. Either sneak up on the hook so you can get the unhook without him pre-revving, which also allows the unhooked survivor to take the hit, or you fake the unhook and dodge the chainsaw, then unhook during his cooldown, or you commit instantly. The last option is more of a last resort but you will get the unhook still (for him to down you before the unhook becomes inevitable you'd need to make some big mistakes).

The cooldown addons at this point are more of a placebo. Do the math. It's 10% plus 5% if he uses both. That leaves him at a 2.15 seconds cooldown (the addons do not work in overdrive). At best this will sometimes allow him to get a M1 on an outpositioned survivor.

I agree though, that LoPros are a bit overtuned now. He needed them before the rework because he couldn't play around most loops thanks to a lack of speed and bad collisions as well as a slightly shorter turn time window. Now, they're no longer required and only push him too far up. The problem is that adding an artificial downside will either not do much or destroy the addon completely, so I'd rather they rework it (along with the overdrive decay addons).

Very interesting how people defend him after they overbuffed him multiple times. He has super high mobility with 0 cooldown, instadown threat that can down you at almost any loop in the game, and very good addons. Insane he got a curve window buff on top of everything as well.
