So when will Freddy, Sadako and Trapper get adressed?
On the other Side Nurse, Blight-Addons and Tombstone-Addon from Myers?
1. Freddy
Why does he have a speed penalty while placing a snare? Basically you get slowdowned for placing a slowdown... what? In addition the snare only works asleep. Clown has 4,6m/s + he can throw the slowdown anywhere, while Freddy goes to 4,0m/s and has to set it while in chase and the chased survivor needed to be asleep. This Overnerf in my opinion doesnt make sense at all.
Pallets are meme, they should be basekit like clowns 2 bottles by tapping ctrl in my opinion. A total of 8 tokens for both ability seems fine to me, 5 is not enough, 10 is maybe too much, because u can still use more by sacrificing the first ones.
Finally, an Addon-Pass is needed, his addons are all garbage besides Paint Brush. On top of it, his Lullaby and TR should be changed, so that u have TR in dream and Lullaby awake (like in the movies). Atm he cannot use TR-related perks like Coulrophobia or Distressing in the dream, where u want the survivors are most of the time. So basically Woke-Freddy is able to do more. Doesnt make sense either.
2. Sadako
Her Cooldown is way too much with 100sec. It should go down to 75sec Basekit. Not too much to avoid Condemn-Strat becoming more popular. Besides that, her Stealth while switching Demanifest to Manifest should get increased (Old Newspaper Basekit) + finally, reduce the time it takes to switch from Demanifest to Manifest and in return from 1,5sec to 1,0sec (was 2,5 on PTB).
3. Trapper
Give him more Traps Basekit (not all!) and let them spawn closer together, not at the edges of the realm. On top, give survivors Deep Wound by escaping from a Trap and increase the time it takes to get free.
These are needed changes to make the 3 worst killers in the game just a little more opressive and more fun to play without being OP. They would still be B-Tier at max, currently D-Tier for the most of the community.
We havent received any informations from BHVR what they want to do (besides Patrick, who left BHVR, in the Q&A-Stream in January (long time no Q&A btw.)).

Sadako worst killer?! Someone hasn't been keeping up with the stats. Even putting them aside she has everything needed to be strong - instant mapwide teleportation to gens, stealth she can activate at the drop of a hat (with a barely perceivable lullaby, allegedly, though I've never heard it in game) and exit in literal seconds with an unnoticeable movespeed penalty, spirit's passive phasing on command, making mindgames often result in free hits with no effort involved, and the entire condemned mechanic that can kill people at 0 hooks and force game slowdown if you're using the right addons. And on top of all of that, she's tiny and can't be seen over loops.
I think many killers just struggle to down survivors unless they have an antilloop power like nurse or blight so they see sadako's fairly meh antiloop and treat her as the worst killer in the game. Ridiculous if you ask me.

I especially love her ability to just walk through survivors, which renders bodyblocking almost mute. A lot of people tend to forget that, but when used right it's damn effective.
Sadako is perhaps my favourite killer I've played, and her unpredictability (and even her size!) makes her more powerful than people give her credit for.
And yes, taking tapes out of vcrs stunts her power, but if a killer can choose 5 gens early on to defend, that map-wide issue disappears fairly effectively on most maps.

Disagree, but its fine that u have another opinion. Totally fine. If we see the Killrate, then its probably high because she is easier to play on console than others, on top of that, a Noobstomper for sure. But she has too many issues with the cooldown and the Demanifestation-Time like I said. At least this is my opinion on her. She is fun nonetheless, dont get me wrong, but I think she has far more potential without being as strong as Wesker for example. In her current state, she is not really worth picking over Dredge for example.

I've never seen such a beautifully exaggerated description of Sadako in my life. Bravo on this magnificent hyperbole.

Myers is way worse than Sadako I would say he needs to be addressed more than her.

If Trapper could start with all of his traps, it’d be such a game changer …so time consuming having to collect them from five miles away, in the most inconvenient of places

Sadako probably won't see any changes until the no hook Condemned strategy is nerfed.

Sadly I don't see Freddy getting any changes any time soon. I'd love to see your changes (with the right tweaks) in game for him. He's so bad right now, he needs a full rework and add-ons change

I was going to say the same thing... LOL

its funny cuz sadako might end up being nerfed if she keeps that winrate, knowing bhvr tries to aim at 50% win rate

Blight won't have a much higher power level than them if you mess up his add-ons.
