Billy nerf is unnecessary

[.]

You literally said that you like how Billy performs and he's one of the most skillful characters, yet you still want to nerf him? Why? This just seems so out of place. And It's not even a significant nerf, it doesn't even really change anything for 95% of Billy players. Except of course for the small percentage of Billys that use one or if not two engravings and try to curve, which was by far the most fun and skillfull thing about billy, yet you're nerfing that aspect of it and call it 'misuse' of the chainsaw? What a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ joke.

The vast majority of experienced and veteran players have been saying for years that add-onless Billy is by far the most balanced killer in the game but I guess BHVR really just does not care about the opinion of people that know their game better than them.

Same was told about Nurse, she is now one of the worst and easiest killer to play agaist.

Nurse is extremely strong and super hard to play against when you are good at her, however quite annoying to learn.

Please don't use your own skill level as a defining standard for killers.

Dude since Nurse nerf I havent seen single nurse who could kill me, lets be real, nurse base kit was the worst nerf in game so far, she was skill based and now all you have to do is to run in straight line to out run her.

I wouldn't put much stock into how the devs have written the update notes, they are written in a way to get this change through with as little resistance as possible. They say Billy is performing well so they don't want to changed him too much but then give him a cool down, that is Billy being brought in line with all the other killers design wise because he needed to be, ignore all the praise the devs are putting on the killer here.

For the longest time he has been the only killer to have a strong ability with no meaningful drawbacks. You look how Billy is right now and compare him to every other killer and the disparity is clear to see, of course he was going to get nerfed eventually.

It's because a lot of Nurses relied on having 3+ blinks or omegablinks. Technically Nurse is still the strongest killer in the game, but requires even more time invested into learning her compared to pre-nerf. Take a multitude of bugs into consideration as well and you got yourself a really frustrating learning curve that people are simply not ready for.

Which is also unnecessary. Nerfing his best and most fun add-ons.

Addons being changed were definitely necessary, billy had really outdated addons.

When I said it's unnecessary, I was talking about changing Engravings, not all the add-ons. Charge time definitely needed a nerf, but if they change engravings im gonna be annoyed

This was a buff tho?

You got a fresh batch of addons but now you can't spam chainsaw anymore.
That's it, you just can't spam.
You're overreacting.

Would you mind if survivor side like DS got similar "buff" ? I think that is a great idea!

Again please stop using your own skill and experience to judge the overall ability of a killer.

Nurse is a very tedious and pretty difficult killer to learn, good ones are far and between but that doesn't takeaway how good their ability and the potentional of it it.

Hillbilly doesn't need a nerf at all. The changes to his base kit aren't horrible at least... I was expecting that they would put a cooldown similar to The Nurse' blinks. Glad they didn't. I'm worried they are going to ♥♥♥♥ up all the add-ons again tho, the ultra rare they showed already seems useless. Like yay I can keep sprinting trough pallets but now i've got a speed limiter...

[Souren Araya]

Agreed. Billy is in a great spot and doesn't need nerfed, leave him alone.

[Vanitas]

Wait there nerfing Billy? After nerfing nurse, spirit etc.

The one who was basically untouched since release because he was balanced aside from bugs?

Jesus devs come on.

I don't think we should be talking about add-ons when we've only seen 3 so far.
Again, did anyone complain about holding chainsaw to zone? And if so, why arent they adjusting Pyramid Head or Slinger?

To be honest PH loses charges to his power so it's not the same and slinger requires precision (like billy duh) and has to reload constantly, plus the shot goes slightly to the left or right randomly on purpose to make them unreliable...

The Hillbilly nerf was unjustified but please don't put in the conversation other killers, the only thing we miss is for them to nerf even more killers that need buffs, and the only thing we need now is people like you that say stuff like "they did that to this killer, do it to others as well!"

Slingers shoots beeing unreliable is just a big bs from the devs.

So you can aim perfect but the devs decide to make it miss

The reply you just made added nothing and made no point.
