Talking about Old Freddy because its my copium
For the Anniversary of his launch when he was fun but weak, I would like to talk about how Old Freddy's power would actually be pretty useful with the current perks we have solely through information. Yes I personally believe that we should revert reworked freddy into launch freddy, but give him the teleport from New Freddy, so now we have freddy's old power with the strong part of new freddy's kit, yes this is my copium as I want old Freddy back, yes I spammed Class Photo and paintbrush in his last days
old freddy with new perks
Ever since Freddy got reworked we got alot of perks that would be strong on him if it was old Freddy, infact with the proper changes and tweaks with old freddy he could have been an incredibly strong killer.
Eruption (If you could only wake up from other survivors or from skillchecks) would have been incredibly strong as old Freddy due to incapacitated removing the survivors ability to hear a TR, and due to how Legion's power works off of the survivors ability to hear the TR (Shown by how Hysteria won't let you see survivor's killer instinct if they are oblivious), would mean that Old Freddy could see your Aura until it ends, big information
Hysteria follows with eruption, no heartbeat, aura reading
Plaything would probably be the most noticeably strong perk on freddy for the same reason as the others
Lethal Pursuer will help Freddy get early sleeps off which can help him alot with finding survivors early
Alot of the perks that people don't use could be extremely strong on Old Freddy and could result in Freddy being like Pinhead where 2 perks that aren't that great are amazing on him, except every TR related perk affects Old Freddy
Why make a copium post about old freddy
Look name a single soul who thinks New Freddy is fun to play
All of New Freddy's add-ons are borderline useless (Yeah a rare add-on applies the amazing status effect known as blindness) and the rework ripped everything that made Freddy who he was and just tossed it in the trash, he went from a stealth-like killer to a chase killer, so much could have been changed about Old Freddy that could have made him useful but the rework was the definition of "power over fun" and it shouldn't be that way, power and fun at the same time, not just power.
Some killers can have a unique power where perks are amazing on them but some perks are horrible (Like Overcharge on old freddy or Monitor on Doctor) as long as the killer's power can be really strong with other perks
Thats all, thanks for coming to my tedtalk

I just got new Freddy, and he's a lot of fun.

This is the most surprising thing I have seen all day

Old Freddy was in my opinion BHVR’s most ambitious killer design and it actually paid off. Too bad everyone hated him for being unique but now everyone hates him for being boring

If he is your copium, then I don't what he is for me :)
Honestly, people who complained about Freddy on his release are questionable.
They had insta-blinds, pallet vacuum, infinite loops, and they were having problems with Freddy?
Not to mention everyone who deemed him as the worst killer in the game, without probably ever touching him once.

Oh my god new Freddy is so lame the skill ceiling is terribly low a Veteran Freddy and New Freddy will perform quite similar. And he’s very weak now with his add-ons crushed and no good anti-loop that pays off every 1in 50 plays. Please rework him again

I won't say new Freddy is my fav Killer or anything, but between old and new, I'll take new easily.

I sleep

Why’s that? I find nothing special with him and nothing exciting to learn with him and he sucks without slowdown perks

Disgusting.

I just wish they could give him an add on to revert him to old freddy. Even if it would mean that no other add on could be used.

New Freddy is great but I agree that some version of old Freddy would be nice.
Best option would be to rework some of his very rare addons to bring him back in a form just like you can bring back old Legion with his 2 purple addons.

I assure you would prefer his Old version, if you were around at the time.

Yeah but with Freddy he is literally nothing without it. An Oni can snowball. A Pyramid can still have great anti-loop. A Hag can still control an area. But Freddy he looses everything

Also you can run monitor giving off a smaller terror radius. Insidious for more wallhack indefinitely.

M&A + RPB = 0 TR outside of chases :)

Yea pretty much I run the skill check build on new Freddy and old Freddy. Surprisedly it still work with the eruption perk.

I too want old Freddy 😔
It’s never going to happen though because they spent so much time reworking him, but I will support any attempts to return old Freddy.

"but I will support any attempts to return old Freddy."
And, with that, you've earned my respect.

Old Freddy was the original reason I got the game. His playstyle was very unique and felt like it embodied his character. I miss it so much.

Freddy was who I learned the game with, but I have to admit, now that I am a competent killer... I probably would prefer old Freddy. Just because he seemed more unique.

I don't know, I just find him enjoyable to play.
I wish there was a way to play him like old freddy, but I'm happy as is.
