Freddy's Rework
Ok, so I read the Q and A for the Rework of our (Not so) beloved killer Freddy. And I think I get what the new effects will introduce. I post this here to talk about the changes, and a few theories I have for good 'ol Freddy, along with a few questions if and when a Mod sees this.
- Freddy's TR are being swapped. With the Lullaby playing in the Dream world with Freddy, and the Normal TR when you are awake. It does certainly make you more unpredictable and makes it harder for Survivors to judge how close you are in the Dream World.
- Freddy becomes unable to see Survivors outside his Terror Radius, albeit, it makes his ability to have map pressure in the Dream World lackluster. And it was changed because New players felt frustrated when Freddy saw them from across the map, and they didn't know why or how. It's a little saddening, but I suppose it makes sense in a way.
Now that's out of the way, I have a few theories to the ways they have changed his Power.
- Considering the fact that Freddy can set down Dream snares, it'll more likely replace his current ability to put Survivor's to sleep. Which suggests that Freddy's ability requiring people to be asleep for him to do any harm will mean that he'll put survivors to sleep passively via "Micro Sleep". Or: The Power can do multiple things at once when putting the "Generator Teleportation" ability in, which likely means that the Snares are set down when looking at the ground nearby yourself, or you teleport to a generator when you look in the direction of one.
- Micro sleep will give Freddy multiple openings to hit the survivor when they're in his TR, where they phase between being asleep, and seeing and can be harmed by you as a result, or they stay awake, and don't see and cannot be harmed by you. In order to force them into the Dream World entirely, his ability may require him to pull them into the Dream World forcefully instead of Passively. Or, Micro Sleep could automatically shove survivors inside the Dream world after a set duration.
Freddy does certainly look to have a potential to be a good killer, however, his ability requires him to find survivors and get them to be asleep in order to utilize the full benefits of his power. There are also some things I'm curious about...
- How long do the Micro Sleep transitions last? (3 seconds of Asleep, 3 Seconds of Awake, etc)
- How will Freddy get the survivors into the Dream World?
- Can the Snares trap survivors that are awake? Or are they required to be asleep in order for it to activate?
- Will Freddy still retain his normal ability to pull survivors into the Dream world manually?
- Can Micro Sleep force the Survivor into the Dream World entirely after a set duration?

I assume that once your dream world transition begins, once you reset it to being awake, you are just starting the transition over again, being into the transition is permanent, you are just saving yourself from harsher effects.
