FIX FREDDY LUNGE
For god’s sake, this has been an issue for so long and, to no one’s surprise, the devs just do not care. The fact that Freddy gains the ability to grow Mr Tickle arms mid-chase is absolutely ridiculous, and the amount of times survivors have been hit 3 feet through a window is absurd.
Devs. Fix this. It’s been around long enough and is absolute bullsh*t.

Everyone's lunge is the same, this counts Freddys.
Maybe you were just playing against someone with bad connection thus resulting in worse latency.

Nerf Freddy in general, he's too OP.

You couldn't be more wrong and clearly have never played killer. Killer lunges are definitely not the same and some change depending on their states (See T3 Myers). Freddy has by far the farthest lunge right now. I would say it was okay before his buff, but it definitely needs looked at now that he's easily Top 5 killer even without the long arm lunge.

Okay you got me there, Myers has reduced or increased range depending on his tier.
And no seriously everyone has the same lunge "in their basic states". It might sometimes look wonky but it's mostly because of latency.

Hey bud, i have over 5000 kills and have played every killer exempt for deathslinger and nurse at least 100 times. They all have the same lunge because when you swing you get a fixed speed, hit detection cone, and. The same time spent in the lunge state and it applies to all killers. There are only two killers that have a different lunge due to the time spent in the lunge and that is nurse and EW1/EW3 myers.
The reason it looks longer is because his weapon is short compared to all other killers, but he still has the same hit detection cone as everyone else. I can't believe people still think his lunge is different when the devs even showed and explained why it looks weird in a stream.

There are videos on youtube that compare his lunge to other killers and it's literally the exact same. It just looks weird since he's a short guy with a short weapon.

Uh... No. In fact, Myers is the only Killer that has a unique Lunge distance right now, excluding things like Pig's Ambush and only counting the usual extended normal attacks as lunges.
Previously Killers had unique lunge distances, IIRC based on their movement speed, but it's since been normalised and T1/T3 Myers is the sole exception.
Freddy having a "Longer lunge" is purely placebo, an illusion, not this time, this one was invented by a writer, ecetera. Could Freddy get animation changes to make his lunge look more convincing, sure thing and I wouldn't be against that, but to claim he has an abnormally long lunge is objectively untrue.

I can assure you it’s not because of latency. I play against countless Freddy players and this issue arises incredibly often.
I see some people saying that it just appears longer than it is because of his character model. If this is true, his character model should be adjusted so that his lunge is just as convincing as that of other killers, it is much more difficult to juke a Freddy lunge than a lunge from other killers since his character model makes it look like he has Mr Tickle arms that reach 20 yards.

The issue you’re talking about doesn’t exist...The sad thing is that there are STILL people talking about this not realising that it’s stupid. Freddy is like every other 4.6m/s killer. He’s 100% a reskined Trapper with a different power. He’s just short and has his hand as a weapon but he still reaches as far as Trappers butthole destroyer. It wouldn’t make sense if he’d have a shorter reach just because you expect it to be...Play as him and you understand.

Oh my f-ing God.
People, Freddy has the same lunge as everyone. It has been confirmed and stated by the devs over and over again.
He just looks like he has a longer lunge because he is shorter and his attack animation is different to everyone else.

It depends on what you count as a lunge. I certainly don't think Blood Fury smacks are lunges at all.

As of Patch 2.2.0, all Killers have the same Lunge Range and speed. Their base Movement speed, if it differs from 4.6 m/s, gets temporarily set to that and all reach a top speed of 6.9 m/s during the Lunge Attack.
- The exception to this is still The Shape in Evil Within I
- as stated by the Power's description, that Lunge is still shorter.
