Freddy addon turn him into old Freddy?

So apparently I just thinking about Freddy, and I got an (in my opinion) incredible idea! What if we use one of Freddy's useless addons, rework it, gave it "ultra rare" category, and it would look like this "Black Box addon is making you're Freddy into old Freddy".

I absolutely love new Freddy, he definitely is one of the best killers, but what about old Freddy? Many people want to play as him, so I think that would great.

    The problem is the following:

    1) Freddy was changed for a reason. Whether it was because it was considered a weak Killer, or he was not "noob friendly", or encouraged a playstyle the Devs didnt particularly want to keep around. Its not coming back. Devs wanted Old Freddy gone, and thats all it matters.

    2) Upkeep. You would have to balance any future changes to the game as well as new perks keeping into consideration both versions of Freddy, whether they are good or bad balance changes. Not to mention that just means to invest resources on basically an entire new Killer with each patch and keep it as bug free as possible.

    3) Popularity. I really doubt all this effort is worth it. See it this way. Largely considered the weakest Killer of all by a huge portion of the community. Now imagine bringing back said Killer, but without any add-ons (they have all been reworked to fit new Freddy), some of which made Freddy superior by miles and immensely fun to play. If anything, the amount of people using this add-on would be less than Speed Limiter LF/Billy. All the effort put into this add-on (considering the previous two points), pretty much completely wasted.

    This. Old Freddy had a bad and unfun playstyle for both sides, so too bring him back would be a bad idea IMO.

    While many didn't appreciate old freddy, I think that bringing him back to that isn't worth it. It'd be maligned by the community, even if there was a minority that did want it.
