Hillbilly needs a buff badly

How is it saddening or surprising that 4k is considered the standard for a win as killer when the implicit goal of killer is to kill all survivors? If the actual win-condition of killer is to kill some survivors then the game doesn't really reflect that idea very well, particularly in red ranks where you're basically guaranteed to lose a pip any time you get less than 3 kills and probably only gain a pip if you get all 4.

i know i am not to judge but most surviours in solo q is garbage and never do gens so saying 4k is rare is miscaculation to say the least also im not trying to mean but sound freddy sound addons why how is that addons i can just turn my soundup myself we gotta do something about these nerfs i had a math where i 4k in secs in with leigon because nobody mended.

Billy has too many bad and gimmicky addons. The absolute worst of the lot are the ones that give Billy an effect for something the survivor does to him - this is so situational and a terrible precedent. Mother's Helpers only works if you get pallet stunned. Black Grease only works if a survivor is trying to blind you. Mother's Helpers at least has a strong effect tied to its bad activation clause and might let you pull a quick chainsaw on a survivor mid-chase; Black Grease would be a fairly good addon if the requirement didn't exist, but with it, has virtually no use. Survivors are going to be trying to blind you either across a pallet or while you're picking up another survivor. Decreasing overheat does not help you in either of these scenarios because you are not in a position to attack with your chainsaw. I get they wanted to make an addon to synergize with Lightborn, but just, no. That is not an effect that helps you in the case where it's activated - and even then, you're bringing an addon that does nothing unless the survivors have a specific item and they happen to use it when you had a lot of heat built up. Bad design.

Then you have Big Buckle, which decreases your TR when the chainsaw is overheating... but for that to happen, generally, you are revving the chainsaw and therefore extremely loud, probably in a chase, and survivors don't need your TR to tell you're close by. This is only useful if your chainsaw starts to overheat mid cross-map sprint, and at those speeds, your TR passes very fast. 8m doesn't make much of a difference. Bad design.

His iris aren't incredible, but they're good - they make it harder for survivors to tell where Billy is. But you can't exactly use iris in every match. Lopro Chains are great for surprise hits and one of his best addons. Pighouse Gloves makes it easier to hold onto a rev. His steering addons are also pretty good, though I don't like that the purple comes with a penalty - that's extremely unnecessary.

Tuned Carburetor makes it easier for him to use his chainsaw at the cost of making it harder for him to do everything else - it barely counts as a charge time addon when the penalty is so severe, and it's the only one he's got now. Leafy Mash is a decent idea, but it requires you to slug the person you down to be able to use it. It's not terrible, pairs well with Infectious Fright, but it's on the gimmicky side. The engravings are still strong, but not nearly as strong as they used to be back when he had other addons to balance out the charge time. And everything else for Billy is just sort of there - not bad, not good, not really noticeable. Very little of it tangibly improves on his gameplay.

So Billy doesn't have many good addons, compared to when he used to be loaded with options that gave him several different playstyles. And Billy isn't bad without addons. He's still stronger than quite a few killers in the roster. The problem is that there are other killers who can do the things he does with more ease and potential, more reward for the same plays. Bubba handles his chainsaw much smoother and is way harder for survivors to dodge. Oni has nearly the same effect with his power, better handling in a sprint, and far more addon options to actually help him. Blight has Billy's famed map mobility. So between the loss of his addons and the introduction/reworks of other killers that can do Billy's job for him, there is very little remaining reason to play him, and he's become a rare sight as a result.

I feel a good place to start in this improvement is the emblem system. I saw a feedback post not too long ago on the subject of emblems and it was enlightening.

Why touching something that isn't OP and was balanced? The only thing that needed to be changed is his addons yet you completely nerf his base kit. Statistic told you Billy was fine, his gameplay and counterplay were fine yet you still nerfing him to the ground giving stupid overheat mechanic that wasn't necessary.
