Why are all killers such a joke compared to Hillbilly?
(except for Nurse, of course.)
Like seriously... Everytime I play Hillbilly I realize just how weak all the other killers are. His anti loop is one of the best in the game if you can chainsaw flick, his map pressure is crazy, his instadown is actually instant unlike those of weak killers (Plague). Just why are all killers such a joke compared to Hillbilly?

As a Freddy main, I feel like I'm cheating when I play Hillbilly XD

I like to be optimistic and think that there isn’t truly a bad killer, just a bad player. In time, anyone can make any killer work, any! There’s players who main Freddy that can get a 4K without a gen getting done, and I think that with time, any player can truly learn to be powerful with any killer that they enjoy to play. :)

Although I agree with Chaotic riddle, @OP you forgot spirit and hag. :)

Billy, Nurse, and Spirit are the only whirlwind killers in the roster. They require no planning and excel at moment to moment interaction by being fast and hard to shake.
Killers like Legion and Freddy especially require a mastermind, you need to have a pre meditative mindset and be three steps ahead.

actually u r just an ideologist, I've play walking killers for more that 1200hours, if humans all skillful, 4 runs or 3 runs absollutely . but easy for nurse with only 30hours. I can do 4 kills every round except for particular maps. so nurse is a good killer or bad?

As to what any of that means? I have no idea.

just to prove that Hillbilly is strong and others are weak😊

nurse is the best killer in the game

What are you trying to say?

This is my only prediction of what it means.

True. These two make you actually feel like a true killer as well but still. Hillbilly makes me feel like there's no way I could ever possibly lose. You just zoom across the map and even if you bump into every wall like a drunk dude you still down people even by accident haha

Both are very strategic killers and are hit or miss. Billy isn’t.

Pretty much this, that speed and easy map pressure though. Switching from a Mikey main to billy for a few matches was certainly an experience. I usually have an instadown but billy has that AND speed with no delays. But I've seen a lot of really good freddy, clown or pig players at high ranks, I don't think it makes those killers a joke, just an increased difficulty to play/master?

The reason that killers release later in the game's life feel weaker is because they are.
At some point the devs decided to focus on survivor fun (too) instead of viable killers. Remember what they said anout viability.
To HB especially it should be added that he's one of the original 3, he set the bar back then. Remember that his ability requires more skill to use than trappers or wraiths.
Just compare RBT and sickness with madness. Madness atleast has effects all over its tiers and hinders survivors in muötiple ways.
The Hillbilly isnt too strong, the others were designed weak.
If you think this perspective biased or defending HB... let me rephrase it.
HB was designed when the devs wouldn't know that the majority (95% according to survivors) of survivors would turn out to be brainless potatoes. Weak killers for weak survivors, which then get stomped by mediocre survivors.

Well a very well played Huntress can match billy and even be better. It also depends on the map, and the map rng

######### legion mastermind to bug chases xD

Because the other killers are "fun"...
Although I dont see the fun in getting bullied tbh...

Spirit is way better than Billy, and Hag is basically the same, her map pressure is just as off the charts insane as his. Only difference is, she chases slightly better than Billy and her ability is to spread pain, whereas Billy can just instadown people right there. Hag is comparable because while she can't instadown them, she can injure them when they're across the map from each other, and down at least 1. They're basically equal.

Hillbilly is probably the best Killer against bad Survivors that lack awareness.
Spirit, Nurse and arguably Huntress/Hag are much stronger against competent Survivors as they can stop loopers regardless of their skill. A Hillbilly is very predictable, if you get hit by a chainsaw flick during the loop you're simply really bad at looping. It requires skill for the Billy player to flick around loops but it doesn't take nearly as much skill to just juke the chainsaw with a one-eighty. How are you going to juke a Spirit, Nurse, Huntress or Hag? It's always a mindgame while Billy is straight forward, quite literally.

Are there any "god spirit" players who don't just use her strongest addons to grab survivors at gens but actually use her ability to end chases quickly? Would like to watch some footage of a god spirit to compare the chases to a chainsaw-flicking Billy.

I don't know... Huntress was the first killer I mained when I got the game (over 1 year ago). I remember I would get tons of crazy shots but people would still gen rush me easily because it takes so long to cross the map and if you check on the wrong generator you've basically lost so much time you might as well give up against survivors who bring fast toolboxes.
Most of the time survivors can counter her hatchets by crouching behind objects and she loses so much speed while winding up, holding, throwing and recovering from the throw, too.
Also I remember fully charged hatchets would often go right through survivors without connecting robbing you of successful hits.
I fail to see how she as strong as Billy but I guess she's way more efficient on PC.

I have been planning on teaching people how to play legion for a while now, I think the time is now

If Hillbilly was released today he would be a 110% speed killer. There would be a killer outrage if they nerfed him or his best addons now but if they were brave enough to do so it would be much easier to raise the bar of all killers at the same time.
Red rank players shouldn't have to play Hillbilly every game.

Just realized something.
If devs want to keep it a surprise for Survivors who they'll face, isn't that the perfect reason to buff more Killers so the high ranks won't be filled with just 3-4-5 Killers?
1 -
Because the Devs actively chose to not make other killers viable.
Honestly, It's a such a waste of Killers. You'd think they'd want high ranks filled with a variety of killers to keep people interested in the game but no, Not only do you have to do the same tasks over and over you have to face the same few killers majority of the time which just gets stale.

mastermind to play legion :o

I have no gameplay unfortunately but I've faced a few who end chases in literally seconds. So goddamn terrifying. Anyway, you're right with not enough Spirits using their power for chasing. Tryhard beads is so meta, but I never touch it when I play Spirit. I should, but no. I'd rather get crushed then get a free win.
I've faced a chainsaw flicking Billy, but they're not as good as even a good Spirit. Tru3 is a good Spirit, not a god Spirit but a good one. And he ends chases fast af. I'd recommend watching him. He opened my eyes to Spirits potential and I was like 'wuhhhhhhhhhh?'.
To conclude, Billy isn't as strong as Spirit @Yamaoka and please @ me if you quote me or I won't get it.

Other are not (too) weak, Hillbilly is just OP.

Whats with these lies about HB having longer lunges or no cooldown?
He's a 115% killer, so his lunge is exactly the same AS EVERY OTHER 115% koller.
The biggest bullshit is the lie about him having no cooldown. Similiar to nurse, after hitting or missing with his chainsaw, he cannot do any survivor interactions. Not attack, no chainsaw, no grabs or picking up. Thats a cooldown or even a self-disable.
Compared to spirit who has NO cooldown but is restricted by a stupid stamina/fuel system. I think if she uses her ability for only 1 second and then attacks (i know, stupid example) she could use her ability right after the weapon wipe.

- he has nothing against looping so 110 would literally make him unplayable
- "high lunge attack" every killer lunge is identical, it's clear you do not know what you are talking about

people will use any excuse to get a killer they don't like nerfed, even if those excuses are false af
