Freddy's current place
So, its been a while since freddy got is rework and I just wanna know what people think about it. I'll also say my opinion too.
I feel he is actually viable at red ranks. Now this may sound crazy but he actually is. Whats needed for red ranks? Map pressure, mobility and chase potential. Freddy now has it all.
He can teleport to a gen after a hook if bbq shows someone is near or walk there and save his teleport for when the hooked survivor gets unhooked and he teleports to the nearest gen. That right there is mobility and map pressure.
Even better is being able to constantly have people falling asleep and contrary to belief, being asleep is 100% not safe and not worth the risk. I'll touch up more on that soon but due to constantly having to wake up that adds even more map pressure onto the survivors.
Lastly, he has snares or dream pallets. Im not gonna talk about pallets because i feel that they are more gimicky than anything. But his snares are deadly in a chase. All you gotta do is take control of the loop by being at the pallet, then you place the snares at one corner or side of the loop, counter rotate so the survivor is forced to abandon the loop or run into the traps, if you don't think you can get a hit place more snares and do one final rotate and you have yourself a free hit. If they abandon chase, bloodlust was being built during all that so you'll also catch up quicker for the hit. This is why his snares are so deadly in chase. A freddy who can place his snares shouldnt be looped at pallets. Ever. Not to mention they work better than bamboozle at windows allowing to disable fast vaults and turn double t-wall tiles into unsafe places.
Tldr: freddy has it all, map pressure, mobility and chase potential and is extremely viable. Everying i said involves no add on use and i only mentioned one perk out of the many possible combos. I feel he is actually in line with billy's strength because freddy can stop loops while billy cant.

5-6th killer in my opinion.

Freddy is the best design (fun to play, fun to play against, strong) since Huntress imo. The devs did a hell of a job in this one. I think they should use him as a standard for future designs in terms of both power level and fun.

I really like to play against him. The map pressure got better, teleporting midchase for mind games is fun. The dreampallets are really fun if you have to guess if it's real. Usually the matches take around 10-15 minutes Wich is nice and a win for everyone. So from an absolute survivor main perspective, I really think they did an amazing job. Well done bhvr.
So he is fun, but not as strong as spirit,Billy or nurse.
Edit: in my personal tier list as killer to play against he is on 4-5th place

He's like below Billy/Spirit. He's fun to play also

Git gud?

Freddy is just under Huntress, if not side by side to her! Overall, rework is a success in my book!!

More like git better amirite?

Yes, that's what you should do if you lose against a nerfed Clown.

Freddy is better than what he was for ppl that didn't like old freddy play style but lets not pretend he's as good as nurse, spirit or billy and imo plague and pig

I really liked the new power design the devs went with. Hopefully this means that all future killers will be like him.

Freddy is literally just a better Clown, LOL. Clown is ######### and second worst killer in my book.

Freddy is top of B tier.

Top of the mid tier imo.
Devs did a great job with him and I'm liking his rework. Now hes actually fun to play as and against.

Well I would say his power are weak like the fake pallet and snares because 2 survivor perks can easily counter them teleporting to a Gen u can just sprint burst away or urban evasion away, I would say if u know what your doing he isn't the best at red ranks and that's my opinion

Well yeah. Clown isn't exactly a great killer.

That's the point.

Killer main/solo survivor lite here. I like his rework, lots of fun to play. Reliably getting 3-4k with him. That said, I'd still take trapper or spirit any day. I'm amazed at how well trapper does in green and purple ranks. Yet to see him in red.

Freddy is very solid killer and what makes him even more enjoyable is that he doesnt need addons.
In my opinion Freddy is 4th as he doesnt rely on anything unlike Huntress that requires decent map or Hag that requires survivors to not be agressive Cheat with Friends.

So what two survivor perks counter snare? No perks stop the snares from working from what i know of.

McLean told me when I asked to consider his gen-teleport to be his main-power; the thing he's most about now.
Despite him having addons that affect all four(FOUR!) of his powers; two active and two passive.
Conceptually, he's a mess now and just borrows from other killers. I expect different devs will give different answers at different times regarding what his main utility is supposed to be; in accordance with what player feedback says is the most or least fun. They have made him a killer that is infinitely-flexible: when they nerf something they can claim it's a minor change because it's not his main-power and this will change depending on what is on the chopping-block. Meanwhile miniscule paper-buffs can be presented as significant by claiming 'his main-power' is receiving them.
So far this hasn't happened because only a few of us have been moaning.

I’d put him in A tier, probably right behind Hag, Billy, and Spirit.

The devs said clam spirit should stop u from screaming and won't give your position away
