    I mean after he use the Chain saw he can't use again, he need to wait 10 second

    He goes fast and when he is close he can do his chainsaw and you killed in one shot which is not too good

    It really isn't hard. I hate to resort to this classic line, but you might need to get better at the game. He really isn't hard to deal with.

    Nothing wrong with his chainsaw, he is subject to looping and can easily side step his power attack.

    billy should go to a locker to refill his chainsaw. and when he bumps into stuff the chainsaw breaks and so he cant use it anymore.

    Billy should have a 40 second stun when bumping in a object. He should also move at 1% speed when using his chainsaw.

    Billy should have the ability to hook himself and being unplayable on your system forever.

    He need to stock up on gas from the locker too with a charge meter to show how much gas he has left

    Poor Billy.

  • BreadLord

    he should also move slower when using it, only have a 2% chance of downing the survivor, and upon downing the survivor, he blows up and the game is deleted from the user.. sounds balanced

    Billy chainsaw should trigger the Deep Wounds status effect, nuff said.

  • yukairi

    It should be nerf just for his chainsaw, that he has to wait 10 seconds to use it again

    To be honest, even if I would take this seriously, I doubt it will change much. There are more than enough Loops where BIlly needs to use his M1 anyway. During Chases, if a Billy-Player relies too much on his Chainsaw, this is actually good for Survivors. He is wasting time, trying to do Chainsaws which are not possible. This would not be the case if there would be some Cooldown.

    And well, for me, when I play Billy, going for Chainsaws is way more fun than using M1. It would just make Billy more boring, when you can only go for the Super Safe Chainsaws, which will 100% hit.

    Regarding his Mobility, yes, this is strong. But I also dont think that there needs to be some form of Cooldown.

    Y'all, give him a break, he's not a fluent English speaker so I'll help him understand what y'all are trying to say! :D


    Bonjour, @yukairi!

    Billy va bien à mon avis parce que sa tronçonneuse n’est mortelle que lorsque vous n’avez aucune palette, ni coffre-fort autour de vous.

    Essayez de rester près d'une palette ou d'un coffre-fort pour vous assurer qu'il ne puisse pas utiliser sa scie à chaîne sur vous!

    Pardon pour mon mal Français parce que c'est pas premiere langue, donc excusez-moi. :)


    Translation:

    Billy is fine in my opinion because his chainsaw is only lethal when there's no pallet, or a safe vault around you.

    Try to stay near a pallet or a vault to make sure he cannot use his chainsaw on you!

    Sorry for my bad French because it's not my first language, so excuse me! :)

    Killer complain about gen tapping. Lvl 18-20 survivors have a very bad experience at the beginning, when killers are like gods.

  • SpyMature
    SpyMature Member Posts: 204

    Billy's so OP, he needs a nerf ASAP, like, what do you even do? It's like whenever he revs up his chainsaw you're already dead and there's nothing you can do, and why are killers even allowed to have such big mobility speed? My idea to nerf him would be so his chainsaw is no longer insta down, and he also has to search lockers for fuel, his map pressure alone is already OP as #########.

  • Boosted_Dwight
    Boosted_Dwight Member Posts: 3,059

    Billy is fine he needs no changes. He's extremely loop-able and juke-able.

  • Laakeri
    Laakeri Member Posts: 835

    Only thing thats problematic about Billy is insta saw. Everyting else about him is fine.

    Not just any nerf killer post, specifically, a nerf Billy post again. Most asked after Nurse nerfing posts.


    Even though he's like 3rd best killer to Spirit in many peoples eyes. By OPs logic Spirit needs a nerf to.

  • Shad03
    Shad03 Member Posts: 3,732

    @prayer_survivor The difference is they eventually learn they don't have to gen tap and that it's better to just power through.

    Killers complaining about Gen Tapping actually hurts killers, since tapping is actually worse then holding the fix generator button. What this is asking for is a nerf to a perfectly balanced killer, which, bare in mind, I'm not good at using myself. (Don't even mention insta saw, since the devs are looking into changing the add ons)

    instead of nerfing him, how about fix the broken chainsaw hitboxes

    to all the people saying Billy is Balanced enough

    go watch Ryanpez69... he will play roughly around 40 games a stream.. if he loses 2 of them then Im a donkey.

    About that...you just throwing that out there just makes me nervous...I'd rather see less blindness and hemorrhage statuses on my killers..srsly they're just so bad....and it worries me you seem to like those a bit too much (you as in the devs as a whole)

    @Boosted_Dwight - If he needs no changes, why are there so many nerf Billy posts?

  • Orion
    Orion Member Posts: 21,675

    Just because people complain doesn't mean things are actually as they believe they are.

  • CronaWins
    CronaWins Member Posts: 650

    Billy is possibly the most balanced killer in the game currently in my opinion.

  • JawsIsTheNextKiller
    JawsIsTheNextKiller Member Posts: 3,367

    Don't people get sick of playing Hillbilly almost every match? We need some other "balanced killers".

  • Dwight_Fairfield

    Is this your first time in the Dbd community? People complain about everything. Nerf this, change that.....

  • DaS_only

    Imagine you want to nerf the most balanced killer in the game.. Just shows you have no clue about DbD and probably are a noob survivor.

  • Marcus
    Marcus Member Posts: 2,047

    There are a lot of "please nerf survivors" posts. So we should nerf survivors based on these posts, right ?

    And btw, I saw more people complaining about Spirit than Billy lately.

  • Roobnus
    Roobnus Member Posts: 375

    A good Billy gives me the best experience, even when I get rekt badly.

    It's a strange Killer, one match you can absolutely destroy him and the next match you're dead before you even realized ######### just happened. Everything can happen from an easy escape to getting totally owned.

    It's not like he's Nurse level, at least not in the same way. A godlike Nurse is almost impossible to beat simply because there is not that much counterplay available. A godlike Billy can still be outplayed by playing good and smart yourself. This makes him a pretty balanced Killer in my opinion.

    And because rank 18-20 survivors, all killers should be easilie loopable for those survivors?

    That would not even like the survivor community, I assume, or did someone really think that a rank 1 survivor likes to get every win just because of a killer nerf before?

    That would be no win at all. Just abusing a nerf patch (almost).

  • JawsIsTheNextKiller
    JawsIsTheNextKiller Member Posts: 3,367

    The same things keep coming up over and over again, many of the really common complaints have been addressed. Remember all the complaints about MoM, DS, Old Freddy, old Legion, Blendettes, hatch standoffs. Lots of people brought them up over and over again and people defended them. Now they are gone, and the game is better for it.

    I don't think the OP is after a massive nerf, but personally I want to see other killers to be as feared as Hillbilly. When certain topics are as complained about so much, they should at least be reviewed.

    Thank the entity for listening to us about Blendettes btw! Best nerf in a long time.
