Freddy Rework Ideas

As a freddy main, I'm excited about the rework. I believe he needed to be redone, but as of now, there could be some tweaks that would make him better. I understand that building him around red rank swf teams would be unfair, but he should be able to compete with them without too much stress. These are stand point(s)/ideas that I would like to discuss.


*Dream world penalties. (Choose ONE)

Survivors have no incentive to wake themselves up, unless he's using addons. As base kit, the only reason they would want to wake up is because he can teleport to gens quicker. The auras of sleeping survivors were removed, as well as the speed penalties. My suggestion(s) are:

-To give the survs a speed debuff towards objective (gen repair, treasure box, totem cleanse) speed for each sleeping surv. Not too much, but enough to make them not want to be asleep. Would 4% per sleeping surv be fair?

-Another way to approach this would be to shorten his teleport time (from the current 5 secs) for each sleeping surv. Maybe 0.6 sec sooner per sleeping surv?


*Dream Snares.

It's easy to see why the devs chose this over the dream pallets; because clearly the pallets are better and they're making him use addons to be better. Ok, fine, but current build, these suck. Every reaction I've seen to this has been poor, making this unfair for Freddy at base kit. My suggestion(s) are:

- Remove the ability for the other survivors to see the aura of the traps that are activated. They should not be aware of the location.

-Increase the speed penalty of the survivor activating the trap. These things are not sufficient enough to land a hit on majority of the loops. They're only good against the longer loops. They should be equally able to perform at the shorter loops as well.


These suggestions are not meant to make freddy op in any means. I just feel like people should be penalized for being asleep, not just passive about it, ignoring dream world. Also since they went with snares I think they should be more viable since it's his base kit. Rather you agree or disagree, I'd appreciate it if you stated your point of view, even if the devs don't change it.

    Even though I think Freddy is completely okay currently, I do say that snares should be buffed somehow, but let's see if low rank survivors will cause the downfall of Freddy or not.

    @Ember_Hunter I agree. Currently he's ok. I just feel like he needs a bit of a push. Are the lower ranks already complaining?
