The current form of antialiasing is used as not only antialiasing, but as a workaround for texture transperancy iirc. That's why all hair is weird and super "pixely" when you disable it.

There's no need for them to be nerfed? I've outlined why and how it's a bad thing from direct knowledge of how his power functions. It's a set of challenge addons for the sake of a fun challenge. It makes him harder. He's not played by the casual community because the only alternative to curvebilly is only really double…

You do realize that it's still incredibly easy to win against me as a survivor, right? I do get a LOT of kills, but I easily can have a higher winrate on many other killers who take substantially less time than 4500 hours. You have to play perfectly AS IS, to not mess up with what double engravings provide. And…

People self sacrifice because the game is fundamentally flawed and has had a skill drain issue due to the balance surrounding it. Generally, there aren't good billy players at this point. Nobody knows how to play around him, and generally, ANY oppressive killer tends to get people going next. Ralph, another streamer, gets…

And I've tested the addons, exactly what I described is the situation. Billy is now able to camp somebody for 80 seconds while revving with doubles, he has no high end skill ceiling, and overheat basically doesn't exist outside of circling the map with basekit/boots. Double engravings are basically unusable in chase.…

Here's the thing, if you're good, double engravings are much easier to play around than most other addons. Double engravings are factually, not his strongest addons. They're the most fun and difficult, but definitely not the best. Never have been. So, what point are you trying to make here...?

The difficulty with billy directly comes from the movement speed. It's mechanical and mental difficulty from having to time everything right ON TOP of correctly guessing their actions. This change doesn't make billy harder, just weaker. The interactive part of the power in chase is the high movement speed, high sensitivity…

It takes significantly less than 100 hours to get a basic control of the chainsaw. I've literally taught people within a day how to control it in a basic sense.

Somewhat. Don't take this explanation as an ego thing. I've been streaming exclusively billy nonstop for the past two years, running nothing but double engravings and for the first year, it was around 12 hours a day streamed on average. It's what I'm known for, because it's all I do constantly. I'm debatably the best at…

enough to be communicating in mcclean's discord, but like, all of this is irrelevant? like why do you care so much about the weird side details here Billy will be significantly less interesting, that's the point being made. Less chase interaction, more backrevving, and significantly more m1s. That's not something that can…

not at all, you and your bud are confusing what i've said to be an attempt at an ego flex when you definitely are misreading the situation, and especially misunderstanding who I am as a person Never said it was a thing of people telling me they love playing against me when I play billy. Just raw exposure to many people.…

it's so strange to see the point entirely missed as much as it is

No, I run into a lot of people who don't enjoy playing against him or playing as him. I understand my biases well. My statements stand.

literally yes, I have heard thousands of people's opinions, I quite literally have interacted with that many

The mechanical challenge isn't really even there. If you don't have engravings, he's not hard. That version of billy exists, he just needs better addons among other changes.

Source is actually me basically being an oft visited stream by a lot of VERY high hour players, and most of them can't play billy at all. You actually do start to know most people up there once you put around 6000+ hours total in the game and stream it for the past few years. People love billy, it's a super common…

no, it's generally the viewpoint of most players who become super experienced as survivor as well usually those people quit over time due to things like this happening, so you hear less and less from them

And to be very clear, it needs to compensate fully. I cannot stress this enough, billy NEEDS the speed he already has with doubles. If it's dropped to be any less, he won't be worth playing.

That's just how he is at this point. It's balanced, if not weak leaning. And the "kill rate of X" concept is literally the fallacy I described earlier. There's nearly 30 killers in this game. Nurse and huntress are incredibly easy in comparison. It's not a bad thing to have a difficult killer, especially if he's easily…

Pretty sure a perfect example of survivorship bias. High performing killer, despite nerfs, still does well. Thing is though, it will continue to do so, because the only ones remaining to actually PERFORM on killer are those who are incredibly dedicated and skilled to a ridiculous degree.

TL;DR - Billy shouldn't be balanced around a resource mechanic, aka, overheat. It's inherently flawed as the major balancing act is the time spent revving, mindgaming, positioning, and in cooldown/bump animation which are identical. You miss a saw, you restart chase, and it's REAL easy to miss a saw even as the best person…

That adds a massive amount of punishment for merely using your chainsaw and is effectively a SUPER hard nerf on using billy's power mid chase in a risky and high skill way. One that's already insanely punished unless you're willing to dedicate nearly hundreds, if not thousands of hours to play effectively. Is there a…
