Is The Nightmare a good killer?

I have The Nightmare but I don't know if he is good cause I think he has potential but I don't know.

    Many argue he is too good. He will likely get nerfed soon. BHVR has said they are working on him soon which sounds likely he will receive a nerf at least

    He's strong and easy to use. Very little thought has to go into playing him while he has a overloaded kit. He isn't Nurse, Spirit, or Blight in terms of power level... but there really isn't room to make mistakes with him like there is for those 3. Also many Survivor will take themselves out of the match, so it's even easier cause the player base can't even stand playing against him.

    If he's a good killer, then survivors would want him nerfed back to old Freddy.

    🤔

    Yeah, I guess he's ok. There are better killers though.

    He’s a killer that is great for all skill levels but overall isn’t the strongest killer. Nurse may be much stronger than Freddy but Nurse’s skill ceiling is what makes Freddy look better at times.

    In terms of pressure he is massively strong, you can make quick gen rotations and he's nasty with Surveillance and Ruin, you may not want to play him forever and his perks are not in my personal preference but he is a good killer for everybody, if you wanna learn to place pressure, try him.

    Depends, playing as a killer he can be great, to play against he can be overpowered or can cause a game to drag on way too long with "slow-down Freddy." I like twenty minutes or less for a game, Freddy can drag it out for over 1/2 hour. I don't think he is particularly fun to play or to play against, but that is my personal opinion.

    Easiest killer in game hands down. They really shouldn't keep a killer like that behind a pay wall though *cough*p2w*cough*

    He's a pretty powerful killer. His power is very similar to Demo's, but his addons allow him to slow the game down by a lot, and if you use Thrilling Tremors/BBQ (TT is bettter for Freddy) and Pop on him you can instantly regress gens. Also he has very strong anti-loop.
