Freddy's lunge is way to long

Please try to argue against me if his lunge is to short. He has the longest lunge in the entire game and it should be nerfed.

    Actually is lunge isn't longer than other 4.6 m/s killer like Trapper. It's just that since his model is smaller than a survivor but his box is the same as a Trapper size killer, he seems to reach further than others.

    His lunge is the same as any Killer. The only exceptions are Myers (shorter Lunge in Evil Within 1 and longer lunge in EW3) and Lunges coming out of Power (Spirit and Wraith).

    Freddy has the standard lunge, it just looks wonky because he is short and has a small weapon.

    Was he using Coup de Grace? Because this is literally the only way to give him the Omega lunge you are talking about.

    Believe it or not. Freddy has normal lunge range. He's just small and has a small weapon so his arm gets spaghetti'ed to match the hitbox.

    Same for Legion btw.

    All Killers have the same default lunge range, that has been a known fact for years now.

    The illusion of him having a longer range than he should have is twofold: short character model and small weapon model.

    Since shorter killers have the same lunge range as the taller ones like Trapper, Wraith, Billy, etc. the devs usually mitigate it by giving them a larger or elongated weapon (why do you think Hag has that humongous claw?) and that is why for most of the shorter killers, it looks fine.

    However, the problem we have with Freddy is that by design, he can't have a random large weapon, since it has to be his glove to be accurate to the franchise. This creates a visual disconnect between the size of his weapon and the reach he has with it. If you look at still frames of him lunging, you'll see his fingers elongating to absurd lengths so that the blades can visually reach the Survivor model.

    I really suggest you research these things properly before you demand baseless nerfs. Nothing about this is new knowledge.

    It's pretty much just the animation that makes it feel as if his lunge is longer than other killers, it definitely isn't.
