Freddy is neglected
Seriously, what happened to him?
one moment he’s strong the next moment he’s laughed at for being pretty bad.
I was an OG Freddy main and although I would do backflips and cartwheels if he was reverted back and buffed, he could just use a rework tbh.
and now I feel like he’s power crept

He did not change actually. He is strong because his teleport power has good synergy with slow-down perks. So Freddy was meta with his slow-down add-ons and old Undying. After nerfs, people who played his for that left him.
But problem about Freddy, if you are facing with good team; it is so hard to get first hook. His anti-loop is joke and sleeping is not doing anything to survivors.

He got way more nerfs than he needed and most of his addons are a complete joke. The slowdown addons needed to go but what they were replaced with is very underwhelming. He’s not good and went from decent to terrible practically overnight.

I agree, give my man some love. After all we paid money for him only to be disappointed. I feel there needs to be more incentive to not be asleep other than diet clown snares and ok fake pallets.

I think he needs a rework which is a merge of his former power (probably release version and not the nerfed one) and his current one (teleports and alarm clocks are interesting, and I guess even the Snares/pallets could be kept)

What happened? BT became no longer Terror Radius dependent.
And if you wanted to play clown, you can just play clown.

Dream World is largely a joke since it has no real threat against good survivors. His snares got nerfed so he loses distances trying to use them so survivors can just freely run to a new tile.
He just doesn't really do anything well. So he just sits in an awkward place where there's no real reason to play him.

BT losing the TR condition certainly hurt him but that's not what killed him. And that change to BT needed to happen regardless

I feel something has to be done because in the movies the whole ordeal is to NOT want to be asleep because its bad, though they do try to fight him when he is asleep so maybe make it so he can't be flashlighted or stunned if you aren't asleep. Though there needs to be some pressing issue while being asleep, I am partial to the slowdown but there are other options. It doesn't have to be a direct consequence to the survivors either. It could be something like the more survivors asleep the faster he is and the faster he breaks pallets, I don't really know I am just throwing Ideas out because it needs to be something.

Freddy need buff.

They wanted to nerf either snares or slowdown, but then they just said screw it and nerfed both, and im sure they dont plan to look at him again for a few years. There is no nuance or agency in the balance department.

Needs another rework god he's so boring to play
0 -
Also his Dream World became very dark. This is especially noticeable RPD. Therefore, I can not play for him (maybe not only me).

I wish they cared more about their licenses
2 -
He just boring now lmao. Always a snooze fest facing him these days. They won’t revert him they have Onryō now who’s similar

Freddy was never strong, he only really became a threat when undying moved hexs to every totem.
Hes just not a very strong killer especially as you go higher in skill. Having said that the rework just killed him, pointless and useless addons (most only work when in dream and they honestly are just bad) and then his base kit was also nerfed, such as invincibility to falling asleep for X time etc.

Mmr... He used to be usable when your opponents were less than stellar. Against people who know what they are doing, he is not the Nightmare, the survivors are.
I took advantage of this mmr test to get his adept first try. I was actually scared I would NEVER get it. Thankfully I got to play my baby one more time against normal players.

Demogorgon took his place.
Think about it. Both Freddy and Demogorgon have a 1v1 Power and a Teleport, but Demogorgon does everything Freddy does but better, and has way better Add-ons that can even free up Perk Slots

To think a Killer this iconic went from being bad but fun to play, to very powerful befitting his popularity, into a weak joke.
I wonder what Robert Englund would think, or Jackie Earle Haley.

I think Freddy's dream snares should damage and be like dream claws. They shouldn't hinder anymore, of course, but I think it would be cooler, give him a trapper hybrid style
0 -
Boring gameplay, bad add ons, and not a single cosmetic to his name.
Freddy really is less than desirable right now.

Ppl stopped playing Freddy because they took away his passive slowdowns. It's true that not much has changed with him, but it was those slowdowns ppl crutched on to stack as much slowdowns as possible. Also because of the fact that Freddy can no longer counter BT in the dreamworld.

I hated going against a good Freddy before his nerfs and enjoyed using him. But now he's just not even a threat usually. Agree 100% he needs looked at again, I miss that fear when seeing him or playing as him.

As someone who mains Freddy exclusively, these are the changes I'd like to see:
- get rid of the 30 second dream world protection from alarm clocks. 90 seconds (30 second protection + 60 second passive) is way too long to fall asleep considering most games only last 7-10 minutes.
- Rework all addons that impact sounds while in the dreamworld. Swing chains and jump rope are virtually useless (these should be brown addons at best).
- Give him back 10 dream pallets (pallet Freddy is better than snare Freddy - I will die on this hill)
- Decrease his teleport cool down. On big maps you end up having to hold w for too long and then when you finally catch up and get that M1 you've been desperately waiting for, you are greeted with dead hard to extend the chase even longer.
- Make some version of fire up base kit. If survivors are awake and his teleport is on cool down, Freddy has nothing to threaten survivors with. Making him grow in strength as the game progresses would be fun.

It would be great to have OG Freddy back with some tweaks. What we have now is pitiful. Add-ons especially.
1 -
Hes got map pressure but only with slowdown. Cause his puddles are basically worse clown bottles as you can just be awake to not get affected by them and having that 30 second sleep immunity from clocks now just makes him even worse. So in total if you survive that long you get 90 seconds of no puddles or fake pallets so it should be really easy to loop him.

Freddy was given a complete rework. Literally. Im not talking a numbers tweek. The Freddy we got now is completely different than the one that released.
Is it harder to adjust a license character? Is there more hoops they have to jump through or can they just do it?
0 -
Freddy was strong, many would put him around upper B tier or lower A but these nerfs were so badly damning that he dropped to like low C
0 -
He's really just a clown who places his bottles on the floor and teleports to gens every bit
Atleast pallet Freddy is semi entertaining to play

I main Freddy, I don’t see many Freddy’s now 😭 I love going again them.
0 -
So true. I hate going against him as much as I hate playing him because of this.
It needs to go. I hate everything that makes my screen darker when some maps are already too dark.
