The best counter items against Billy are Sharpshooter, Disarming Hex and Decay, with Sharpshooter yielding the strongest results. Sharpshooter changes the weapon trade, making simple duels harder for Billy. Disarming Hex is a major problem because it can shut down a key play right when Billy wants to start or finish a fight. Decay adds pressure over time, so longer fights become harder for Billy to stabilize. Most top-performing counter purchases are weapon items that disrupt Billy's ability timings, cleanse debuffs, and mitigate damage in team fights.

Billy is not going to feel the same in every rank. In some brackets, players may give cleaner openings and let Billy stay active in fights. In tougher games, enemies are more likely to respect Billy's timing, group better, and shut the play down before Billy gets full value. The strongest read is not just where Billy has the highest win rate, but where the results stay consistent across enough matches.
