Yeah, you have to mess up HEAVILY or just be trying to overheat the chainsaw for it to work. In normal gameplay, he's almost the same as before minus the add-ons.
All in all, they listened to the community. Nobody wanted his basekit nerfed besides unskilled survivors, and only his add-ons needed nerfs. His basekit is basically the same now.
Once again the people in this community exposed themselves as impatient and whiny. I knew Hillbilly would not go live in that messy state. He really does feel pretty much the exact same.
I would hope that would be the goal of having overheat is to prevent excessive saw use. Ideally the goal should be that experienced Billys should rarely ever overheat. The one thing overheat does punish is that Billys who camped with their saw out as they'll end up overheating giving survivors a chance to save.
As always, people in this community tend to overreact with any new changes. However, I'm glad it was just an overreaction and Hillbilly will still be very viable.
Hooray! Killer mains cried loud enough to reverse the nerf. So I guess he will just keep overperforming. Way to hold the line devs, you took weeks of abuse for a change that was long overdue only to scale it back to nothing in the end.

I must agree, but I'm scared that the devs hear that the overheat mechanic doesn't do anything and they will "fix it".
😬
Be proud, you just jinxed it!
I dont think they will. Maybe they will nerf the punctured muffler and air filter, but nothing beyond that.
Yeah but this time they will say there was a bug causing him to rarely overheat - then nerf him.
The only issue is his turning feels really off. Especially the flick.
Yeah, the reports of his death we’re premature.

Wait, so who was in the casket at the funeral(s)?
It was a fake! Billy faked his death and is back.
All of the Billy players that went for high-skill curves (i.e. engraving billys).
It was me. I died on my first hook with Kindred because solo queue team mates are terrible team mates ;(

You can't kill the messiah!

Good to see Billy thriving :)

This community? Overreacting? Never
We reacted properly. They pulled back on the nerf HARD.
Exactly Mexican food of the radioactive variety.
No no, it was a proper response. The devs were the ones overreacting and the community had to tell them how awful a change it was

After all this time, still not bug fixes for her..
Sure, the reaction to the PTB was appropriate. The reaction to the live release was silly. Especially since most people hadn't played it yet.
Probably my hopes and dreams
can I get a f in the chat?
