Freddy Rework/Buff Concept

Greetings people of the fog!
Today, I have an idea for a Freddy rework to make him WAY more viable, for those willing, please take the time to read it and feel free to leave your opinions or suggestions in the comments below.

New additions/changes to Dream Demon:

  • Freddy may teleport to any uncompleted generator within 60 meters once every 25 seconds
    If Freddy is in a chase, the cooldown timer for his teleport ability pauses
    Freddy can’t teleport to a generator if he is in a chase
    The time it takes to complete the teleport action will start at 0.5 seconds and increases by one second for every 10 meters Freddy has to teleport

  • Freddy can determine the progress of generators by the intensity of their auras as long as at least one survivor is in the dream world

  • Two randomly selected survivors will start the trial in the dream world, if there is an obsession, then the obsession will not start the trial in the dream world

New add-ons for Dream Demon:

  • Dark Clump of Hair (Ultra Rare)
    Description: Multiple cursed strands of hair belonging to a woman, they were cleanly cut off. Touching these strands fills a person’s mind with thoughts of revenge, along with a deep, unrecognizable sadness.
    One obsession per match
    While the obsession is not in the dream world, they can see your aura
    After the first time the obsession has been hooked, they will suffer from the exposed status effect next time they enter the dream world, if they are downed after suffering from the exposed status effect, then you can kill your obsession

  • Torn Fedora (Common)
    Description: A fedora with an awful smell, it has many holes and markings from past encounters with unwilling subjects.
    Slightly decreases the cooldown timer of Freddy’s “teleport” ability

  • Worn Fedora (Uncommon)
    Description: A rather normal looking fedora, shows signs of everyday wear and tear.
    Moderately decreases the cooldown timer of Freddy’s “teleport” ability

  • Good Condition Fedora (Rare)
    Description: A rather normal looking fedora, shows minimal signs of wear and tear.
    Considerably decreases decreases the cooldown timer of Freddy’s “teleport” ability

  • Brand-New Fedora (Very Rare)
    Description: A factory new, mint-condition fedora, has that new leather smell.
    Significantly decreases the cooldown timer of Freddy’s “teleport” ability

    I'm not sure how I feel about the teleport to generators maybe the ability to teleport to a space that has been marked by the killer. But I dont think freddy needs this.

    As for determining the generator progression from distance would be fine as a add on for freddy.

    Having survivors start I  the dream world would be to much of a crutch.

    I think freddy's power needs a culmative affect. That if a survivor is put in the dream world it becomes easier to bring them back in every time, and harder to wake them. At the same time survivors shouldn't be able to escape while in the dream world if there are hex totems still on the map, excluding the hatch. Besides if you escape in a dream then you haven't really escaped have you. And cleansing a hex totem should wake the survivor as a way to save themselves. 

    If you are up against experienced survivors freddy feels almost useless at times I feels like this can help balance it to some degree

    I don't this would fix Freddy, granted he would exceptionally powerful with Surveillance and Discordance but I still don't think this would fix him. He is still slow during the transition and he still can't hit people when they are awake and it's too easy to wake up. On the flip side he would have more Gen control than any other killer, with the right add-ons maybe more than Hillbilly. Your Ultra-Rare add-on is cool though, I really want more killers that have add-ons like Myers has to kill people.

    I have my own ideas on fixes/reworks for him but I won't post them here because it takes away from your idea. BTW, I love your hat add-ons :)
