So not even Freddy can stop the deadly gen rush
I was tired of getting gen rushed by the classic speedrunners, so I decided to play some Freddy.
Guess what, I got paired with a 4 man death squad and not even Freddy can stop that. They were doing literally what they wanted the whole game, and I had 0 chance to do anything.
I'm starting to remember why I uninstalled the game months ago.

Sometimes you’re gonna lose. If you want to play this game you have to accept that. You probably made multiple mistakes that cost you the win

To be fair, most of the killer roaster can't deal with a 4 man death squad. I dare say only Nurse and Spirit can win such trials.

Yeah, and struggling.

I mean I play both survivor and killer and I don't find him over powered, I just find that you can be say idk a bad rank 12 player and you will do almost as good as a red rank player with him because he's so easy to play and so spammy with his powers; you don't have to think about them.
I hope if they change him they don't nerf him outright, they just....raise his skill ceiling and make him be more mindful about when he uses his powers, that would let him stay just as strong because a very efficient freddy player for example often has power uptime to spare.

This is what happens when you let reddit and some youtubers with hot takes influence you.
Freddy is weak early game and genrush style gameplay is strongest early game. Freddy also isn't as powerful as people say. Killrates =/= strength

You just have to understand that when your against one of those 4 man squads who are rushing out the gens you aren't suppose to win. People who main killer with thousands of hours struggle to these guys and lose to them often so the average Joe gamer just has to accept it. You can either try your best and use it as practice or accept defeat and meme around or wait for the gens to get done. It's sad but it's just a part of the game that every now and again you're going to have these kind of matches.

And that's why I love to play killer, If I played survivor with friends my games would turn peaceful mode :P

I mean yeah generally it doesn’t matter what killer you play if you aren’t good you’ll still suck.

Playing against a 4 man death squad and losing simply isn't related with a person "sucking" or "not sucking" at the game. You have played killer little if you do not understand the concept.

Get a grip, first of all. You did not do a good job of pressuring gens and I can tell you that because I play against 4 mans swf's all the time with demo and do fine. Secondly, Its sad how you just hopped on Freddy to try and stop gens. if stopping gens is your biggest problem with the game, either change your build, or pressure gens better. Third, I know you dont get gen rushed all the time because its actually very rare to get actually 'gen rushed" and you have to accept the fact that your gen pressure sucks

Thats IF the survivors make a mistake, otherwise the 4 man gen rush squads will never lose.

Let's set the record straight-- There is no killer on the roster that will win against a good 4-man, with consistency.
If you get 5,000-hour survivors and let them equip whatever perks they wanted, and have them go against a 5,000-hour killer that also knew how to play well, survivors will win most games.

Survivors can beat any killer based on objective speed, whether or not they have the skill is the altering factor.

Frederick was top tier due to the tinkerer/ruin/undying combo. Now that that is nerfed, he’s not nearly as strong. Unfortunately the devs can’t understand that fact and will nerf him when he really doesn’t need it. He is a jack of all trades, master of none but really maximized that combo due to his kit.

No, sometimes you're gonna lose, and that is decided the moment you queued up with a certain team. No amount of food plays is gonna change that, you're literally hoping the survivors make a mistake, and if they don't you lose.

Freddy is good against casuals, for real survivor teams you need real skill backed strong killers, one trick ponies isn't enough to counterbalance

Freddy's kill rate is 75%. If you don't kill at least 3 survivors in the average game you are in the minority. I just don't think you are playing Freddy good enough because the average killer can do it.

Where have you gotten those stats from?
Sources pls.

These are from October they revealed in a QNA. It's separated by all ranks and red ranks.
0 -
How many kills did you get (If any)?
Also what perks were you using if you don't mind my asking?
I'll assume you used slowdown add-ons as that's what Freddy is known for and has great ones.
Just trying to get a better idea of things here

You played wrong if you couldn't do anything AS Freddy.
Killer mains complain too easily when they probably made like 50 mistakes in a ''gen rush'' game.
-Killer main btw, before you hit me with that ''omg toxic survivor main'' criticism

Totally agree with Zaytex and others. Really 'gen rushing' is almost a non concept. That's the main objective of survivors, if they're playing efficient they're gen rushing. It'd be like survivors complaining about killers getting a down and hook in 30 seconds of the game start and saying it's 'kill rushing'. Obviously both sides are going to do whatever their main objective is- what else are u both supposed to do? Stand there doing nothing?
Pressure the survivors off the gens and run regression perks, change targets if someone's good at looping or at a good area, hit and run with sloppy butcher if you think the chase will last too long!

Just to follow up on this, ''gen rushing'' is something that is akin to survivors letting teammates die so they can complete gens ASAP. If you don't have any pressure on the survivors and they get gens in 3-4 minutes, that's not gen rushing, you just played bad.
But most killer mains don't see this, they'll chase one guy for 2-3 minutes and then cry ''gen rush''.

True!

yeah I was playing freddy with gen slow down perks.
4 gens done in 4 minutes.
Wtf
I just disconnected I'm not dealing with that I couldn't even get 1 ######### hook.
I don't see killers staying with this game any time soon
0 -
oh and to make this worse they nerfing freddy too.
he can't ######### compete with SWF

time for the immortal McQuotes: "git gud"

The stats that put Freddy as "wow this guy is REALLY over performing compared to what we want/how other killers are performing" were actually released BEFORE R/U/T was a thing, IIRC, but I agree that he was top tier while that was an unnerfed perk combination in the game.
Freddy is due for a nerf just thanks to how brainless he is. I don't heavily mind him as a survivor because even with his powers, he is pretty basic, and I'd rather go against a good Freddy than a good Spirit or good Nurse anyday, but it's amazing how he plays basically the same at any skill level. I honestly don't think he needs much of a nerf, but I'd love if they made it so that he didn't have absolutely FREE hook camping against BT (one smack and you just farmed your teammate!) and perhaps made it so that he had to get that first hit/manually pull the survivors into the dream world for their falling asleep, rather than it being automatic from the get-go.
