Add a reward to the overheat mechanic

Penalty systems never feel good to use, and Billy's new overheat mechanic is certainly no exception, so why not add some kind of reward to players who properly manage their overheat or use Billy's saw skillfully. I have 2 ideas to do so, 1. Make it so that as the overheat meter fills billy gets some kind of buff i.e. he charges the saw faster or gains better steering. My other idea is to make it so that upon downing a survivor the blood from his victims cool his chainsaw down and immediately revert some or all of his overheat, I like the second idea more because it would keep mostly unchanged and only make it so it so snowballing is far less forgiving, but still give him the ability to do so.

The problems is that the chainsaw overheats way too fast for the chainsaw to be viable in chase.
Yeah I agree but the mechanic as a whole even if they reduced the numbers would just feel restrictive, they said they wanted reward skillful play but then they implement a system that only punishes players so in a perfect world, other then just scrapping the mechanic as a whole because let's be honest that's not happening, they would reduce the amount of overheat gain as well implement some kind of reward for actually playing skillfully, instead of just punishing players for going for anything other the safest of back revs.
If You manage it well you get easy downs. That should be enough of a reward.
I mean sure if you dont also use it for traversal while never making mistakes, the problem isnt that billy wont still be a good killer it's that they are taking a lot of the fun out of playing billy
