Why was billy nerfed?

As a survivor main i dont understand, sure he could be a little annoying but he was alright

  • The main goal was to readjust his addons - to delete the insta-saw combo. But similarly to nurse they also had to slap a cooldown on him.

    Plus basekit Billy was not really nerfed anyway. Getting overheated is very rare.

  • The Overheat is basically non-existent. You either have to go for it or mess up a lot to overheat your Chainsaw.

    In general, Billy was not touched (except for Tinkerer, but this had to happen) for years and the game became easier for Killer as well. So stuff which was ok a few years ago might not be ok in 2020. And the Killer with the best Mobility and an easy to use Instadown might deserve some Nerf at this point.

  • Cause the devs don't play their own game.
