It's time to make Hillbilly a 110% killer.

Hear me out. If you think Deathslinger's power is strong enough to justify 110% movement speed, you've never faced a God Tier Hillbilly. And I'm not saying a "good" hillbilly, I'm pretty sure you face those every day, I mean God Tier, those guys that can do insane curves that feel like he's hacking somehow and who can end chases in 3 seconds. You died the moment you joined the lobby. Well used, hillbilly's power is ridiculously and game breaking strong.
I don't see Deathslinger's power being that strong to justify 110% movement speed. Even Oni is stronger and he's 115%.
The only killers I think justify the 110% speed are Huntress and Spirit (not even hag), but Spirit because it's broken (see this video by OH TOFU). Deathslinger's power is not that strong or broken, I don't think 110% speed is justified.

Don't forget to limit his chainsaw dash.
Hopefully they'll buff Deathslinger instead of nerfing Billy. Remember this is a test build and things can be changed between today and the day it hits the live servers.
So what I'm gathering from this is only god tier billies break the game, right? They are not common to run into and if someone took the time to master Billy's full potential then why can't they be strong? I face a lot of Billy but it's very rare that I run into a god Billy who can curve and everything.
Correct me if I'm wrong though :)
This is a troll thread
Leave Billy alone. Balance around him.
this is some low quality bait.
While they're at it they should give him one of these aswell
Was not my intention, I'm sorry you missed the point of the thread.
Nah I got the point
Does "chumpfuckery" get censored?
Just stop asking for nerfs. Please. It's so annoying and makes you sound entitled.
People are missing the point of the thread, well, partly at least I think. He's using Billy as an example as to why Deathslinger shouldn't be 110%. His power simply isn't strong enough to warrant it. Does this mean Billy should be 110%? Maybe, maybe not, that's mainly for the devs to decide. He isn't explicitly calling for Billy to be nerfed, but rather using Billy as an example as to why Deathslinger should be buffed, if I'm guessing correctly. I think the reason Deathslinger is 110% is because you can hit someone with the Redeemer, reel them and hit them, then reload and catch up to them pretty fast with 115%, shoot and down them again before they can run away fast enough.
THANK YOU!!!!!
Was that so hard to understand?
Most people see the title and that's it. Your first sentence literally states "Hear me out" but most people just read the title and assume you want all killers nerfed to the ground.
Here we go again... 🤣🤣
Look two posts up to see what he was really trying to say.
To be fair that's how all real nerf-begging posts start out, and the devs are the kind of people who'd read this and go "yeah 110% Hillbilly sure" as their only takeaway
If you have enough distance you can 180 the chainsaw dash with mouse and keyboard.
Deathslinger needs a few buffs
Can we please keep Billy strong and not turn him into a chew toy for survivors?
You just read the title, didn't ya?
So you're saying that he should be nerfed, because there are people who invested countless hours into mastering his power to the point where they can easily dominate you? Great idea. You should always balance around the top 0.1%(that's sarcasm in case it wasn't completely obvious)
I did that once, I was about 5 or 6 feet away from the chainsaw, got hit because of.....Latency :3
Not really, but still hillbilly's power is stronger than Deathslinger and he's 115% speed.
ahahahaha
rank 20s and their wild ideas
"i cant loop this killer! time to nerf his speed!!"
much KEK
(Yes I read the whole post. We know what most people will read, though.)
I mean survivors want nerfs because they don't like efforts to win. It's not like the survivors side is the strongest when played great.
Flickbilly take a lot of hours and they want to nerf it because killer need to make efforts while survivor don't.
You can't nerf a pro player just because you're nub. If something need to happen is a revamp of the ranking system. If matchmaking become skill based you will only meet these players if you have the same amount of skill. If he too strong despise the skill cap then he should be nerfed but, actually the system is not there so red ranks mean nothing and so RR players is mixed with bad and good players.
I don't think the problem is in regard movement speed. I think issue is in rewards in hitting his gun. He's suppose to be a killer that relies on getting downs with his gun but current iteration of his power seems to be more drawback than helpful tool for downing people. Unlike Huntress who has pretty big hatchet hitbox, this guy gets 1 hatchet that he has hit with pixel perfect precision and if he hits, he just gets an injure. The killer is like high skill, low reward. He even has add-on called iri coin that increases his reward for landing harpoon into an instant down... but it has restriction of 15 meters, however the irony is that the further you hit a survivor with your gun, the more chance the survivor has to hook himself on object and break free, so like that add-on is entirely counter-productive. It gives illusion that he has ranged attack but really he doesn't. For safe loops, it doesn't even help him when the pallet is thrown down compare to huntress who can down people through pallets. I love his skill-cap and he's super fun to play, but if he gets released like this, he'll be proper f-tier killer. I feel like they should do what they did with Demogorgon's ultra-rare add-on and make it base kit. Remove 15 meter range restriction and just put exposed into his base kit, I also don't think his power should injure you or apply deep wound if you break free from his chain. I think these changes would make him high skill high reward killer. Maybe his ultra-rare gives him 2 shots instead of 1 shot for extra challenge for survivor. Take this post as personal opinion regarding new killer.

Those insane curves cost a set of spiked shoes and a bottle of Thompsons moonshine. They don't come cheap.
Billy is:
So you are complaining because hes strong, or because (to put it bluntly) you're bad.
Comparing him to other killers shouldn't justify a nerf even when the killers have completely different abilities.
You're comparing apples to oranges. It's not stronger - it's different
