Old Freddy/Current Freddy combined should have been the next move ( Read before commenting )
The devs should bring back the dream puller ability and keep the rest of his current power ( snares, teleportation and pallets) like have a button to swap from dream puller ability to snares/projection you know something like that if you guys get what im trying to say. I cant stress this enough but I just really want it back. I dont care if doing this will make him weak or strong I just want it back so it can pretty much fit the description of who Freddy is (A DREAM DEMON). The current addons he has should be reverted and tweaked a little. For example Maybe change the red paint brush addon to where you can see all survivors that are in the dream world 3 seconds for every 10 seconds and the black box addon to where survivors in dream world no longer face skill checks regardless of doing gens/healing or something that punishes the obsession idk .

I don't quite understand why people want Old Freddy back all of a sudden
Is it nostalgia? I can't wrap my head around it. I kinda liked the concept of old freddy but I just don't think it suits the current state of the game. Not anymore than it did back then at least

Indeed, and this is the perfect moment to do it.
I have a proposed idea for a Freddy rework, if I may share it:
Pull survivors into the Dream World
-Survivors who are awake do not see The Nightmare.
-Once targeted by The Nightmare’s power, survivors enter the Dream Transition for 7 seconds.
-During the Dream Transition Survivors can see glimpses of The Nightmare and they suffer from the Incapacitated status effect.
-When the Dream Transition Lapse, the Survivor is pulled into the Dream World.
Once in the Dream World:
-Survivor’s auras are revealed to The Nightmare when they are outside of his terror radius.
-Survivors suffer an action speed penalty of 40%.
-To exit the Dream World, Survivors can find non-sleeping Survivors to perform a wake up action.
-Failed Generator Skill Checks can also wake up.
-Hooked Survivors wake up.
Special Ability: Dream Projection
-Teleport to a Generator in view. Releasing the button early will cancel the action.
-Survivors cannot interact with the targeted Generator.
-For each Survivor in the Dream World, the cool-down of using Dream Projection is reduced by stack-able 20%.

I really wish that this change will happen in the future because original Freddy was unique.
And making back that he's only in the dream world with all arsenal that he has atm (teleports to any gen, dream pallets and snares) will make him not "weak" like he was before.

Back then? You mean, with pallet vacuum, double pallets and infinite loops?
I think he suits the current state of the game.

Well old freddy doesn't really line up with the way BHVR likes to design killers these days. They've drastically shifted and reworked most killers to fit their 'new blueprint' if you will. Look at how they reworked Doctor, for example.
I don't think they're ever gonna make a killer who can't even hit survivors without having to do something first or a killer who's power reduces your action speed like old freddy did.
This is all just my perspective though, none of it is fact.

That is true, however no one was truly happy with New Freddy's power, and the recent nerf just made it worse.
Even if he doesn't line up with the current "blueprint" (which is amazing), it is not a good idea to let him stay like this, with a generic power that very few actually enjoy.

Perhaps you can give me some insight why people have been asking for Old Freddy back all of a sudden? I'm just curious because while I've sometimes seen the odd person asking for old freddy back I've seen it a lot more lately despite how much of a mockery it was made into way back pre-rework

Well, I obviously cannot speak for everyone here, but I was never supportive of his rework back in 2019. Actual Freddy mains cared not for that "mockery" and understood that he a lot of potential if you learned how to play him properly.
They've always wanted him back. And right now, Freddy is going through some undesired changes. It is the perfect moment to ask for our old killer back.

Great idea! One question though what would his terror radius be at? His new one is 32m but if I’m not mistaken his old one was 16m
Id say 24m would be fine for him

Oh, to be honest with you I completely forgot about his terror radius.
But I like your suggestion. 24 m sounds fine.
