What has caused players to abandon The Hillbilly, one of the best characters in Dead By Daylight that now sports a measly 3% playrate in all ranks despite being a free character to use?

  1. I hope you enjoyed this video 😀 Hillbilly is the killer that fell the most with balance changes and nerfs, more than Pig. This video showcases just how powerful Hillbilly was in the past, and what completely ruined him for the majority of the players, to the point he has a very low playrate despite being one of the free characters in the game!

  7. wait WHAT?! tinkerer has been reworked in the past???
    when? i saw now videos that people played in 2018 with still the effect "your addons are 10% more effective"….I started playing in april 2018 and i am almost sure tinkerer was not like that…

  10. What happened? Most new maps are close or with very thight turns the hillbilly can't do (even with the boots addon)
    Also the change on the overheat did gut the amount of use on his power (plus addon nerfs over the board)

    Also rating the spirit as one of the top killers? How? Have lil map pressure and her power it's a coinflip and it's based on what kind or survi you face due it's all mindgames

  12. I play since clown was released and back then there was a special feeling playing Billy I can't feel if I play it now. It feel so unfun to play right now and not just because of all the new things they added making Billy a bit outdated in my opinion.

  13. I do have to admit that as much as I don't know how to play him, and when I'm against him I'm sometimes afraid… at the end of the day, he's the most fun to play with. Unlike Nurse which I'm also afraid but it's nearly impossible to fight with or have FUN.

  16. As a Billy main with over 3k hours on him at top 50 with chainsaw downs:

    1. His collision was messed up with his nerf making him insanely difficult, this is why he might have felt "off" after his rework

    2. Blight does everything better. Quite everything that Billy does blight does the exact same but on crack, better add-ons, better map mobility, and better anti loop.

    3. Survivors have gotten better and now he is outdated. That is why I disagree with the point that he could rival blight or nurse today. While that may be somewhat true, most good survivors know how to counter billy: if he tries to curve leave the loop, if he tries to back Rev drop pallets. His design is so outdated and needs severe quality of life changes to be able to play against good players again.

  17. The overheat is so weird. honestly, how often do you even overheat? all it does it kick you in the sensitive bits whenever you're on a roll and basically doesn't exist otherwise. Also I hate how both Iridescents essentially require you to pair them with each other to be useful.

  20. I will never forget the goosebumps that caused the sound of the HillBilly chainsaw in 2016. And when he also had a completely unchanged Memento, it was really scary…
