Easy Freddy fix?
I was thinking about how to fix Freddy without overhauling him too much. Not because I wouldn't mind him being completely overhauled, I actually don't like his lack of focus insofar as his Powers are concerned. However, tweaking Killers seems to be more of a thing these days than outright reworking them, which is fair enough. The devs have their own views on how they want a Killer to function, and try to keep that playstyle intact. Totally get that. With all that said, I think I came up with a fairly simple fix:
Get rid of the dream timer.
Make Freddy have to hit you to put you to sleep, unless he brings one of his "IT'S NAP TIME" add-ons, of which there is only two and they are Iri.
I feel like this would seriously alleviate a lot of the frustration that comes with Freddy dingdong. He's not HARD to play against, he's just not fun and playing against him, while doable, is a total slog. This would alleviate that issue. Furthermore, it would give perks that use Terror Radius more use against him, instead of nearly cancelling them out entirely because "OH NO, YOU SURVIVED FOR A MINUTE, BETTER HIT THE HAY KIDDO". All other Killers have to work for their Power. His comes for free with a timer. Get rid. Remove. Delete. Expunge.

I have a bigger issue with a few of his add-ons than the sleep thing.

Well ya, those would need to be addressed separately, and preferably after his primary power and gameplay receives a tweak. I was just offering a simple way to make facing Freddy less "UGH" inducing while also retaining Freddy's current playstyle.

He is not op? My cat can 4k with him using good addons and Undying+ruin+tinkerer

My cat can 4k with him with no add ons and no perks

I don't care what they do with him as long as they let us play the pre-rework version.

Honestly just make it so all clocks can wake you up instead of just the one furthest away from you would help so much

I agree the sleep timer should go. Like in the old Freddy, he should have to apply effort to put someone to sleep, either pulling someone to sleep or hitting you.
Secondly, teleporting to the survivor objective should go. I believe this is what makes him so overpowered the most. Slowdown perks, aura perks on him are insane.
Make his lullaby directional sound.

If he can’t teleport then he is just a worse version of clown; with some snares that hardly do anything unless you overstay at a loop.

Are your cats posting this for you, too? That would explain a lot.

They could compensate in other areas like make being asleep be more detrimental. If you are asleep, you heal much slower, etc

His dream pallets and snares need to go as well. As a survivor trying to use a pallet and it's fake is unfun and let's be honest extremely toxic. Same with snares. Putting snares in narrow areas or behind vaults its unfair and unfun since there is 0 counter play. As it is pallets and snares are just toxic, unfun and require no skill.
As with putting people to sleep it has to be an ability. I'd say at least 10 seconds to put them to sleep that resets if the Survivor can get 4m away, vaults, or gets out of LoS. As well since Freddy is harder to see while survivors are awake Freddy shouldn't be able to hit survivors until they are asleep.
Honestly, I think that kind of Freddy would likely still be op but it's honestly the best that can be done.

No, slowing down survivors is unfun and fairly toxic. It's essentially holding the game hostage. Being asleep should only be a condition for Freddy being able to hit his targets to begin with. I don't know why they didn't do that to begin with but considering the buff to undying/clown/trapper/wraith/iron maiden while they nerfed the absolute hell out of open handed and its pretty damn clear who the devs favour in this game....

You should brush your cats teeth on occasion. They also have dental treats for cats in the pet section of Walmart.

I would make it so that he can't see scratchmarks for 10 seconds after teleporting.

Are we removing him from the game while we're at it?
The best change I've seen for Freddy is to make his snares smaller, but slightly more potent. That way he takes more skill to use, but he still retains his good chasing pressure.
Another good change I've seen is to make so every clock wakes you up.

I do brush her teeth but patte smell just... lingers ya know?
Also my kitty can't have treats she has renal problems ;(

I'm sorry. I hope one day she wakes up cured. Please rub her toe beans for me.

People here doing their best to make Freddy worthless again. "His sleep needs to go / Snares need to go / Teleporting needs to go", like really, you just want bland M1 killer with no power that's easy to loop, we have enough of that already in the roster.
Freddy can use some small balance tweaking in NUMBERS, not completely removing significant parts of his kit.

Oh don't be sorry. She's turning 15 in March, its just part of growing old for her...
... but I will never pass up a chance to touch the beans.

I'd like more options to wake up. As of right now you're asleep within a minute and Freddy is buffed because of it no work needed.

Personally, I just want the dream timer to go. He can keep everything else. I'm fine with all that. Just the dream timer. I think it's kinda dumb that a Killer has a power that automatically works on a timer base-kit. I can't think of any other Killer that has that. The closest I can recall is Trapper with an add-on, and it's not even that good for him. Freddy, on the other hand, benefits greatly from Dream World, so it's not even a proper comparison.
