    Old freddy did make more sense lore wise.

    "I hate these new killers that have abilities to help them in a chase but they have no pressure, chases"

    New Freddy has so much more pressure out of chase with the clocks and teleport. And what about the other new Killers with map pressure abilitys? Oni, Demogorgon and new Doctor? They all have high mobility or other abilitys that stall the game? You seem to not know much about Killers and pressure, I recomend to you to keep playing or watch guides.

    He had to hit a survivor 3 times essentially. If I hit someone and they are injured. Boom all gens finish and now they are FULL HEALTH and AWAKE. So h

    New Freddy, yea ok, but Oni doesn't for the start of the game, Demo has very little unless you are running rat tail and Doctor has barely any.

    I think you missed the point i was trying to make that newer killers are too focused around the chase and not pressure. The last actual good pressure killer we got was pig who I think has the perfect balance between pressure and chase.

    That's just M1ing with the potential extra step of having to put someone to sleep first if they're not already asleep. It still ran into the same issue as most M1 Killers, except Old Freddy had absolutely nothing to assist him in the chase. Most other M1 Killers have something to assist them with that problem, even if it's something that won't come up often like Bear Traps. Old Freddy had nothing.

    Pig is better than old Freddy, but I wouldn't call her good. Neither her pressure nor her chase are anything I'd write home about.

    It was also a tactic during a chase to run to a gen as soon as your head tilted and blow it to extend the chase. And spine chill increases the likelihood of skill checks.

    How do some people consider the old Freddy any fun? Guy was straight up boring and always shoved a free hit up your back since you couldn't tell where the heck he was, the dream world felt more like a nuisance than an actual mechanic.

    Also the fact that he couldn't be somehow bodyblocked cause he only dragged that tunneled surv into the dream world, denying any help from teammates? Really? That was just badly planned.

    Freddy is way better now, not more fun to vs against cause he's been given way too much, but I prefer this one to the old version.

    Old Freddy players would constantly tunnel. I would not like it back.

    Wasn't his power to turn himself into an m1 killer? And even then, specifically to someone he had to put to sleep first(which took forever)? No thanks, he deserved a rework.

    I 4k’d constantly with old Freddy. At red ranks:

    Blocks to speed transition to 4 seconds

    ANY 4 of these perks: bbq, sloppy, thana, nurses, monitor, ruin, pop

    hit and run, never chase... ever. (Until maybe last survivor or two) If no hit, at least clear a pallet. Never tunnel or you lose. Sleep, hit, move on. Brought game to a crawl.

    could draw (2 kills 2 escape) with a seal team 6 swf... I did 2-3 times it was SWEATY. The big Rotten fields was the only map I’d get a loss on if survivors were decent.


    I would love to have him as an option

    Freddy is brilliant now and quite honestly I believe he is better now. He has more map pressure and his power is great. He could probably in my opinion be a top tier killer noe in the right hands.

    I prefer the current freddy a thousand times more than the old freddy.

    old freddy was very weak, now he is a born killer and with a lot of reputation .. don't ruin it ..

    also, now he is a balanced assassin. I think you have never tried the new freddy in red ranges.
