Why did Blight receive changes almost every month since his release but Billy hasn't since August?
This was the last update on Billy. The rest were fixes that do not count.
Check it here -> https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Patches
You can also check how many changes Blight has received ever since his release till now.
He received so many changes since his release & PTB, he moved from a B-tier killer to A-tier to S tier now. Blight is an S-tier killer and u can't tell me otherwise.
A good blight will dominate in 99% of the matches especially with the infamous Ruin+Undying+Tinkerer+BBQ combo which 99% of blights run and for good reason, it's a very good combo with very high synergy with his power.
I'm gonna come out and say that Blight might be the only killer who has received constant changes & major buffs almost every month. I might be wrong, let the community be the judge of that.
The favoritism baffles me.
Billy has been added on 14 June 2016. He's one of the first few killers to be released, and look how he's being treated. He has received the middle finger with every blight update. Isn't he one of the DBD icons?

Blight only needed POV change because it was bugged for 6months since his release
His addons also received numerous changes, which made them better.
Why Billy's addons are still garbage and gimmicky while Blight's are directly affecting his power and are really really strong. Does Blight even have 2 or more useless addons?
To be fair, they sent his collision backwards last update.
My guess is it's because Blight is a character you pay for (unless you use shards of course) So the better he is the more people will want to buy him.
Blight isn't S-tier. He doesn't straight up ignore survivor defences like pallets and windows, and he gets weakened by a lot of maps - both the indoor ones and the ones with especially weird collision
Also blight has two useless addons and that's about it. There's some memey purple ones but they aren't terrible
Also, Billy is a Leatherface proxy. And with the money-making iWin button that is Bubba, why care for Billy? The devs truly are Billy's parents here...
And after all that his is still broken
Pretty spot on answers. Blight is money Billy is free.....also Bubba exists.
Because Billy is free while for Bubba, Blight, Oni you have to pay for them, so BHVR wanted him gutted.
The devs haven't even bothered to fix his janky ass animations in almost a year despite them saying they were gonna do that months ago.

Finally someone else that realizes Blight's collision got trashed last update to it
I was playing blight daily during the crotch cam days. It was frustrating af the day they updated him and things that would normally work, didn't.
He is now a mix of way to clingy to some things and butter coated on others.
Most likely a bug that will get fixed.
My friend told me playing Blight on Ormond is a nightmare.
Some people buy characters for their perks.
just to name a few. The characters themselves don't have to good or strong, they just need their perks.
I bought Plague for her corrupt & infectious alone and she's my least player killer. Bought Clown for Pop & Bamboozle. Bought Bubba for BBQ.
Blight's current collision can either be way too responsive or a slip n' slide
I get what you mean but I wouldn't even call it bugged. More they finished the animations at the incorrect FOV position and had to redo them. This isn't a bug as opposed to more so an oversight. Mind you I'm going by what one of the devs said on a stream but forgot who said this. Not regarding it being a bug but regarding animation work being done and would need to be redone to fix it.
I remember when they snuck in a few new animations for Hillbilly before any announcements of him were even made and it felt like they ruined his camera position. Playing Billy now feels like the camera is much farther ahead of the actual killer body collision and it's always awkward strafing around things with him now.
At least his will get fixed.
Billy's been having collision problems for a couple of years now.
Ghost Saw still exists.
I have to hand it to anyone maining Blight. Super fun but losing a down because you just slide off surfaces or flat out run in place is worlds more frustrating then anything I've ever experienced as Nurse.
Damn straight
Billy's overheat mechanic has to go. Reduce it to atoms for all I care.
Nerfing the most balanced killer we had was one of the worst decisions I've ever seen. The only "OP" thing about Old Hillbilly was insta-saw, and even that can be debatable.
The problem with Billy wasn't the charge time add-ons, it was the charge time add-ons STACKED. Only then was it overpowered.
Precisely. As I've said, it can be debatable. However, we all agree that the overheat mechanic is nothing more than bad design.
Because the devs realized how much everyone hated the update and would rather it be forgotten. Shadowborn helps with the animations a tad
Raises the question of why they made wraith the best stealth/ambush killer
I think part of that was also them genuinely believing even old base kit Billy was too strong.
They are the same people who nerfed pallet Freddy because they thought it was too strong lmao.
I don't think it's just a coincidence that they nerfed Billy along with buffing Bubba and then releasing Blight as next DLC.
I kept thinking that as well. What a funny coincidence that Billy got heavily changed and Blight came out shortly after.
Not mentioning they made Bubba as viable, if not more viable as Billy when the patch got out.
They had to buff Bubba anyway so they used that as an excuse to over nerf Billy at the same time.
Its about time Billy gets looked at. Animations and POV problems have been left alone too long. Addons needs another update, alot of useless addons which you never use.
