yes, i do actually overheat as hillbilly
i'd just like to say that im probably one of the handful of people on the planet that still main hillbilly and play him skillfully
please stop saying "oh i never overheat, its not even noticeable"
if youre playing billy effectively and using your chainsaw, you will overheat at least once in almost everygame without the yellow overheat addon.
just to clarify, i never m1 unless the survivor is already injured, which is the most optimal and fun way to play billy. please dont try to say you never overheat if you only use your saw for map control anyways.
secondly, even if he actually did never overheat, it still is so unneccesary and just stupid. the visual design changes are still terrible, and he now has like 3 addons that even do slightly anything and arent just gimmicks.
hillbilly is unfun to play now for no reason, and it will be like that for the rest of time. its sad, but dont try to stomp on billys grave and say nothings changed.

Overexposure. When I hit Purple for the first time, pre-Ruin rework, 95% of my games were against Hillbillies, and a lot of them had less room between me and them than could fit the engine block of the saw before swinging it at me. That is my main reason for hating Hillbilly so much.
As for what I meany by "people like you" was those that use the saw so much, and only use it on healthy survivors, rather than ending the chase much quicker with basic attacks. Hillbilly has a WEAPON just like every other killer, and a power does not replace a weapon, apparently unless you're Hillbilly or Bubba according to these forums. It feels so unrewarding to me, for BOTH sides, and the only enjoyment I've had from it are accidental half-map snipes.
Loops and jungle gyms. I have actually had people hold it for THAT long. I was also a stealthy Claudette, so my running wasn't as strong as it is now.
"Skill" also isn't required when you're in bodyblocking range. I'm also on console, so flicks aren't a thing, or they weren't at the time.
You also misunderstand what I was doing..... I was the SURVIVOR, specifically a default jacket Claudette who got to purple by stealthing it and getting unhooks, heals and generators. Not by running. When I did pick up Hillbilly, months later, I tried to use his hammer more than the saw to see what the fuss of playing Hillbilly was and if Hammer-Billy was a viable thing. Long story short, after a few games it was and I hated it. There was no tactics to it, or if there was it was nothing like Pig. I could bait pallets with the saw and that's where majority of my saw downs came from.
Never said that I like Tier III Myers, or GF's Stalk, but I recognise that they have ACTUAL REQUIREMENTS to pull off. Same with Lig's Ambus, Demo's Shred and Huntress' hatchets.
My line was also that it SHOULDN'T replace their weapon. Even on someone like Huntress, but I reserve that more for Iri Heads in bodyblock range.
This is devolving into the arguments I have had so many times.
I USED to play that Claudette, I couldn't run very well THEN. I couldn't exactly juke them THEN.
Bodyblock RANGE, not actual bodyblocking. Yes it is their fault, but it still feels terrible.
I never said it was your problem!
Stealth, not immersed.
And again, back to that first word for my biggest hate of Hillbilly: overexposure. I have versed so many of them, I am sick to death and want to DC whenever I hear that chainsaw.
You asked why I hate Hillbilly and I answered. We could have just left it at that.
You would hate the sight of a killer too if it was basically all you versed for 3 months straight! And Nurse was always viable. Just not on console.
I wish I WAS versing more Freddy, Deathslinger and PH. Hell, give me a Nurse once in a while!
