Should Freddy get Pallets base?

Yeah I feel like with the nerf and his base already uninteresting I feel like making pallets would be good for Freddy. And pose more of a challenge in the dream world. But what do you think?

    I still can't help but think that one of its rarest addons is capable of being replaced by blocking the exit doors for a few seconds, thinking that we also already have anti-lock door perks. the grunts are new and are ... shall we say ... quite useful. I agree to set cheats at 100% speed, but some addons have been greatly reduced and others replaced or new.

    Yes BUT...

    Only if he gets another rework. His power now is relatively the same and still doesn't fix what people didn't like about him to begin with (mainly his passive sleep meter, loaded base kit, and taking little to no skill to play).

    If he gets pallets base kit right now it would just make him really annoying to play against.

    He needs a power rework that buffs the deadliness of Freddy when survivors are asleep (so yes, fake pallets at base), makes the skill of playing Freddy rely on his ability to keep survivors asleep, and make it a little easier for survivors to stay awake (for example, make it take always take 10-14 seconds for survivors to wake each other up).

    Sure, why not. Not like they really do much, and those addons that replace snares with pallets are basically straight downgrades. Might as well allow him to just switch between Snares and Pallets freely.

    I don't think so.

    Freddy's Dream Pallets are one of the two interesting things about his current power, but making them base kit would do nothing. It wouldn't fix any of his problems, and honestly it would make him a little bit annoying to go against (not to me, of course, but to other players out there).

    But then again, pretty much nothing can fix his current power. The devs need to acknowledge that they have screwed up his rework and revert it. This is the right thing to do.

    If we're talking pre-nerf Freddy, then yeah that'd be cool. But this is post-nerf Freddy, and as much as I love running his Dream Pallets others would find him miserable to play as, having to run an add-on just to run his snares again.

    I think he should get neither and they should bring back old Freddy at 125% movement speed with a heavily lowered teleport cooldown.

    It sounds bad and it probably is but come on does that not sound terrifying to you

    I'm sorry but I don't understand. Wasn't old Freddy almost unanimously regarded as being very weak? Otz seemed to see potential in him at the time but then again, the Devs could literally release a generic killer dude with a super weak power, and Otz would still find a way to somehow make an interesting build.

    No, he doesn't need any buffs as of now, and if he did, pallets are not the way. Each killer is supposed to have one cohesive power, and Freddy's power is a shambled mess already.

    Most people who claimed Freddy was the worst killer did not understand him at all. He wasn't the best, of course, and was in need of a few buffs and QoL improvements (never a full rework tho)

    However, that does not mean he was the worst. If you knew how to play him properly you could make gens take forever. He was unique, and required an unique playstyle.

    He's already weak enough
