why is billy losing insta downs with his chainsaw while nurse gets literally nothing but buffs. In what world does nurse need to be stronger and billy weaker????

I'm not necessarily saying that there should be no downsides on any of the killers but for nurse to get nothing but buffs while billy is nerfed just makes no sense.

    They really ended up nerfing one of the most liked killers only to buff one of the most hated for 2v8.

    For contradictory changes like this I wonder how they will balance other killers if they are added to this game mode.

    If they somehow buff Pig instead of nerfing it I will be extremely disappointed. Some things are immutable traditions.

    I'm not sure that balance is the sole reason for the changes. They might want to encourage players to coordinate and synergize their movesets. Maybe they found Billy to be too strong in play testing? Who knows.

    I'd avoid expecting a well balanced experienced from the mode. It's going to be chaotic, and I'm sure a few things won't have been accounted for by the devs, leading to some absurd situations. But hopefully it's still fun.

    There is a survivor class that gives all the other survivors wallhacks. It’s definitely not gonna be balanced right away and will be changed in future iterations.
