What is one thing (or two) you would change about Freddy to make him viable?

    He can control people with the Power Glove.

    The only way to buff Freddy is to remove the changes that they will make to him and leave him the way he is right now ;-)

    I'd like to see 2 changes to Freddy

    1) Class Photo baseline feature

    2) Wake up is only by failing gen or by non-sleeping surv.

    Give Freddy a complete overhaul. (Which is what they said they are doing). Also one of the best perks in the game countering him (Adrenaline) is heart breaking.

    The OP buffs I was thinking of before they annouced it'll be a overhaul are

    1) Class photo without the 2 sec delay baseline

    2) Survivors either being hindered in the dream world or vault slower

    But I think they'd be ridiculous and unfun to play against

    Tagging objects with your power causes nightmarish reactions to sleeping survivors trying to use them. A variety of reactions could reinforce the aesthetics of his power.

    I hate the Dream Transition.

    I'd remove it completely.

    Dream transition cancels any action and prevent survivours from interacting with gens totems or objectives. The survivour can vault and drop pallets as normal.

    Make escape from dream realm only possible via gens and other awake survivours. Freddy becomes real and is able to attack survivours once exit gates are powered.

    Simple fixes that would make current freddy viable.

    The only major change he needs is that if you’re caught and you’re slept, you can’t do any actions until you fully transition. NO MORE WATCHING HELPLESSLY FEAR ME.

    Awake survivors should not be able to body block.

    That’s all he needs.

    Don't know how feasible it is but I'm REALLY into this idea actually. Giving the Nightmare the ability to turn vaults and pallets against the survivor would be really cool

    The ones that need buffs are the players and there is no patch for that, you just have to play and learn. Freddy is, in my opinion, very fun to play as. You must learn to use his power effectively (To mind game survivors, keep tabs at them, intercept them, etc). Know your weaknesses and play around them.

    Come on people! If there are still people playing as the joke that is Legion now, we can't complain.

    Also I'm a Freddy's fanboy since I was little, so I will play as him anyway ;-)

    I don't want any major changes for Freddy. My hopes are they just do a minor tweak on how sleep works. Making it increasingly penalizing to be slept multiple times:

    • 1st - Freddy can attack survivor; Survivor can now see Freddy;
    • 2nd - Sleep .8 second faster (Max 4 seconds), Survivor action speed reduced 8% (Maximum 40%)
    • 3rd+ - Repeat above effects (additive), plus various effects based on add-on
    • The add-ons reducing sleep time and action speed would be replaced with affliction add-ons (exhaustion, blindness, mangled, etc.)

    Past this, Adrenaline really shouldn't effect sleep, and it would makes sense for every add-on to afflict with exhaustion for X seconds (based on rarity)

    survivors can no longer interact with things while in dream transition.

    also, dream transition should be cut by 2, maybe 3 seconds.

    another cool thing i saw on the forums was, that survivors dont know weather they are asleep or not. i think it would be enough to take away the icon on the survivors ingame icon. that blue circle got introduced during the freddy nerf and i think its time to get rid of it again with the freddy buff.

    Let’s wait for the rework before discussing buffs.

    Freddy's lullaby cannot be heard by a woke survivor. The lullabye only plays during the transition to sleep. (logically this make the most sense anyway since a lullaby is a song that you sing to put someone to sleep.) Freddy only exist in dreams so why the hell does he have a terror radius in the real world?
