* A possible inspiration for Billy's moveset is from the ''Deadlock'' forum posts "[https://forums.playdeadlock.com/threads/since-punkgoat-seemingly-doesn%E2%80%99t-have-a-moveset-yet-if-this-isn%E2%80%99t-it-or-like-it-i-might-actually-riot.63473/post-127592 Since Punkgoat seemingly doesn’t have a moveset yet, if this isn’t it or like it, I might actually riot.]" and "[https://forums.playdeadlock.com/threads/ability-set-v3-punkgoat-is-real-and-this-better-be-his-ability-set-or-ill-riot-of-course-not-really.72994/ Ability Set v3: Punkgoat is REAL and this better be his ability set or I'll riot (of course not really)]" by player Hipster Monkey on May 9th, 25th and July 30th 2025. When Billy was first leaked as Punkgoat on May 1st 2025, he was one of the few leaked heroes who had no abilities hidden in the game code. It's possible Valve had the hero concept for Billy already, but no abilities planned at the time. Similarities in the final abilities include, but not limited to, a kind of knockdown embedded in his 1, a type of fixed ram/dash that takes both Billy and his target with his 2, and a type of buff involving a bottle with his 3. | |||
