Sudden Freddy rush

Has anyone else been getting this massive wave of Freddy’s today? Before this I saw Freddy maybe one in a hundred matches (if that) when doing survivor, but today I have gotten Freddy every other match if not more for hours now.... what’s going on? Did I miss something in the patch notes??

    1. New Surveillance is a god send for him.
    2. Maybe people realize that he isn't nearly as bad as many say he is (mid tier), feel free to blame me for it.
    But the new surveillance isn’t out yet? It’s on the PTB. This massive wave of Freddy’s is on live servers suddenly. I’m not complaining about it just find it very out of the blue and strange

    Maybe some youtuber or streamer finally figured him out. The only one i know who did is Pyrus.

    Interesting. Maybe people are just excited for his upcoming rework and are starting to play him to get ready? Who knows I guess.

    -recalls all the times people have mocked me for saying Freddy is actually a decent killer and definitely one of the most fun to play as-

    He's not that bad. The new engine update really helped the visuals and its a bit easier to spot people now.

    He's still not a strong killer. He's mid tier at best. I'm great with him, but he's weaker for sure. It's tough to classify him. He's somewhere in the vein of Trapper, Pig I think

    that means that the people who watch pyrus learned it

    Yeah he released a decent guide but scratched the surface of Freddy overall. Like loadouts, strats etc. 

    He only covered the transition mindgames which are fun and powerful.

    Yep, thats one of the reasons he gets so much salt, especially from SWF groups.

    I'm on console, I run discordance. I want to put multiple people asleep. It works wonders. I consistently get 3/4k. My other perks are monitor, nurses, sloppy (or if I run a mori I throw on dying light).

    I am not seeing more Freddys. Im seeing a crap load more of Clowns, more than Myers, Legion, Spirits and Hags. Maybe more people are seeing his true potential.
