The billy nerf makes sense now (remember that??)

JinX_Of_Fire

Hey yall. Remember when billy got nerfed and everyone pissed and ######### on the floor? And now that the blight is out everyone makes fun of it?? I think because the new devs made the blight and realized billy was just mechanically better, Billy got nerfed. Now idgaf about billy as a huntress main, but blight seems so far horrible and nerfing billy was to make blight look strong. Thoughts?

I really don't see how billy is better than blight pre-nerf. They both function differently. Also, blight is decent at indoor maps.

I don't know where to begin.

Way to go by insulting killers or billy mains by saying this below. Maybe if something would be done to Huntress you'll start crying and we laughing ? But that's beside the point

Blight is being made fun of? The only thing Blight and Billy share in common is MOVEMENT and movement addons, nothing else. Billy has the ability to one-shot at close ranged and even get snipes. Blight doesn't (outside of the red addon). The way he is now, Blight is currently one of the strongest killers if played right, his skill cap is very high. Unlike Billy, he has one of the best addons IN THE GAME. And unlike Billy, Blight can use his power at loops that billy can't. Another thing that makes Blight strong is his unpredictability, clearly something Billy doesn't have.

Another thing they might share in common is that they both suffer on tight and closed maps such as Hawkins / Lery's. But even then, Blight has the upper hand because his power is somewhat usable in indoors maps like The game and Hawkins. It's probably way harder on Lery's.

Damn. Blight is at a loop? I wonder if he's going to ping pong to my general direction??? Hmm maybe if i just throw pallet like i do with clown and fast vault it he wont get me?? Blight is ridiculously easy to counter at major loops and indoor maps, and outdoor maps he's worse than billy. My comment above wasnt poking fun at billy mains (which you obv take camp in) but to show the disparaging difficulty between the two and who has the upper hand.

The Blight is just a worse version of Hillbilly. Why would you play a killer that can't one-shot, when you could play one that can one-shot at any time and cross the map in much less time?

Again, dont know if this was understood, but i'm saying noone asked for a billy nerf. A billy nerf was added. The blight comes out 2 months later. Noone makes the conecction to the 2.

First of all, Clown doesn't have any kind of movement ability. Second of all, he's only good at ending chases and loops rapidly.

Blight was released this Tuesday, and it's only 3 days. Give people more time to adjust to him and he'll become one of the strongest killers in the game. He has a very high skill cap.

How is blight WORSE than Billy at indoor maps? Billy needs:

• If he wants to get a snipe or travel trough the map he needs a clear path and there's only so much you can do with steering. Blight needs to bounce from object to object.
• If Billy wants to chainsaw at an indoor map, he needs to be really good, has a very good knowledge of his curve mechanic, luck and to mindgame. Running into a wall due to the curving being so delicate will mean the survivor has more than enough time to escape, not mentioning doing it repeatedly will overheat the chainsaw and will transform you into an m1 killer. If you can't do any of these things, and all you can do is chainsaw from up close, even then you might miss and ruin everything.

If you watched Tru3's stream yesterday or the other day, you might've noticed how he was able to shut down a few of the strongest loops in the entire game for Survivors. Loops I thought you could not mindgame as killer and have to force a pallet drop, unless you can throw over if possible.

HOW IS BLIGHT WORSE than Billy at outdoor maps, where is he good then? If Billy can pull a full 360* with his chainsaw rush from object to object do let me know. Or if you can lunge during a chainsaw rush and reach further than a normal killer could do.

I've watched tru3's channel for quite some time, youtube and twitch alike. You can pick a couple of fringe moments, but it doesnt mean the new killer is any good. You bring up the concept that billy has to curve , have knowledge of his curve mechanic, and give him the disadvantage of an indoor map when MOST are open field? You havent even brung up once that billy nerf may be because of blight being added, which was my whole Point. (Also your 3 day comparison? Absolutely garbage when realizing ptb has been out for how long?Tru3 is a content creator, someone who will put up any opinion if it means pleasing the masses for a pay check. And ######### are you talking about? Obv billy cant chain walls but it doesnt mean he's bad lol?? That would mean all killers are bad because they cant chain walls. Thats blights whole schtick and its still clunky af. "Ooo yeah lets have the killer actively miss and telegraph his movements to show the survivor what we're doing next, AND give him slower movement speed during his ability. Def not taken out of billy homebook #1"

Billy is still a one shot pro! When I meet him he always manages to do One shoot in loop (without addon).

I think its a bit tin foil hat to say Hillbilly was changed to make Blight look better, but there is at least some merit to the claim. However i think its a bit unfair to just say Hillbilly is a strictly stronger killer than blight.

They have mobility in there arsenal but thats the only similarities. Hillbilly does have more lethality with his power, but it is alot harder to land than Blights lethal rush, as well alot harder to use to traverse the map.

Blights ability to sprint across the map is alot stronger imo since it doesn't have a large noise attached to it, and is alot more controllable and thus flexible in changing direction. His lack of an instant down is of course a huge negative in the comparison though that i do agree.

There are other factors of course, like the Blights frankly absurdly good addons, and his very high skill floor meaning he is alot less inviting to play than Hillbilly, but i wouldn't say one is just 100% better than the other. They both have there strengths and weaknesses

Ultimately, Blights a cool addition in my eyes, and a different take on the "cross map fast and annoy survivors" style of killer. Like the Ghostface to The Shape, its not a strict powercreep, just a different flavour

Blight is as strong as Billy ever was, Instasaw and Crack Billy notwithstanding. People just suck at him and assume it's the killer being weak, not them having no skill with him because they didn't give it time to develop.

Idk about the blight....so far im having fun killing pesky survivors with 1000iq calculations.Imo blight is really strong if you know how to play him(on larry map might as well delete the game as him lol).

Just make a thread about a billy buff, see the people who come in and say no, those are the ones that did nothing but cry for a nerf on him. To say nobody asked for it is an understatement.

pls this is not even a comparison, a decent billy will shred most of the survivors at a single loop

while blight is getting braindamage

Okay bud.

The blight is insanely good what are you talking about?? Been getting consistent 4ks with him at rank 1. Have you considered you're not that good with him because he's literally new?

I could see it. Once people really start to perfect his bumping the mind games are going to get crazy. Like passing you and coming all the way around from the otherside crazy.
