Anybody else find Freddy boring?

Honestly nah I find him really fun to play. Against probably not, since my style of play encourages me to find and stick to a gen lock (no i dont use ForeverFreddy™, thank god), but I try and make matches last and 3 hook everyone to ensure they have the most amount of fun.

Against, I can't really say. Most freddy I face use ForeverFreddy™, or an ebony mori, or both, so... Hardly engaging builds.

I do agree. Freddy is not very fun to play as or against.

Strange. I find him fun to play as or versus. Especially for pallet freddy.

Snare-lusting at pallets has to be the most boring thing in the game.

The only not fun part is the "Forever Freddy" build.

I like him otherwise!

All survivors run ds bt dh adrenaline survivors are so boring all they do is loop and clicky clicky nerf survivors

I do find Freddy to be boring to play against, yes.

I think he actually makes the top spot of the Killer I’d rather not go up against, next to Trapper and Plague.

I think he’s fun to play as and against. Survivors think he’s boring cause they can’t loop forever.

Strong killers are always boring for survivors.

Iri huntress- boring

Old nurse- boring

other killers???? never seen "boring" posts about them.

I see someone watched the Ohtofu video.

Wow, most of those perks actually completely suck, I guess be thankful you run against terrible Freddy players?

I mean Thana and Dying Light are trash tier right off the bat to anyone who understands math. Thana at 16% which is everyone injured is still only 12 extra seconds for a generator to pop for a solo survivor baseline. Dying light is even worse, even with all non-obsessions on death hook you're talking 18% slowdown which is only 14 extra seconds for a generator to pop for a solo survivor baseline.

Thanatophobia only is helpful in mind-gaming survivor into thinking it is a detriment so they spend more time healing.

Why would Freddy need Corrupt? He's not a setup killer like Trapper, Hag, or Myers and he doesn't need to cut off part of the map thanks to his mobility. So many better options.

Pop, yes, no doubt, it's his best perk because of the teleport, hook someone, teleport to priority generator, immediately regress it 25%. I'll give you this one.

Surge consumes pop so usually you would only see one or the other, never together.

Sloppy is a playstyle preference thing, I don't tend to run anti-heal Freddy and usually I just finish the chase and get the down as my playstyle and perk builds depend on that more than mass injuries, but I could see someone running it if they were deluded enough to think Thanatophobia is worth it.

Now I won't pretend to be a master Freddy player, but I play him at red ranks consistently along with Legion, Hillbilly, and Trapper. My standard build is.

1. BBQ and Chili
2. Thrilling Tremors
3. Pop Goes the Weasel
4. Brutal Strength

Rationale: This build is designed purely around Freddy's good chase potential and ability to get downs quickly. Find survivor, down survivor, hook survivor, block generators not being worked on, teleport to unblocked generator, regress with pop. In the case that all generators are blocked, BBQ and Chili serves as secondary location perk along with bloodpoints. Brutal strength helps in not only kicking generators faster and tends to surprise survivors who thought the pallet break would take longer.

Obviously there are myriad of other ways to build him, dead man's switch and nemesis are getting some traction, and obviously the Forever Freddy + Ruin and Surveillance combo is hilariously strong.

All killers have to be boring now, otherwise the game is 5 mins and the generators are completed and survivors are walking out the gate.

I'm sorry playing in an optimal fashion isn't fun for my opponents.

Yeah, he is one smol boi with pretty strong power walking skills. Sadly I don't remember which Patch removed it, but I am pretty sure its gone, since even when I farm via spamming Dream Snares as freddy, I never saw bloodlust pop up at all. Dream Snares + Bloodlust was a bit overkill anyways, so nothing lost there.

He may be boring but only reason why people don't like to face him isn't because of the "boring" aspect. They dislike he specifically because his "boring" gameplay is also very effective. Survivors can't get over that decently low skill ceiling killer is also good. In their eyes killers have to be extremely skillful to play otherwise they can't be strong. We as killers can't enjoy chill gameplay with killer that you don't have to focus on super hard and still get more then decent results.

I hate that people want to get Freddy nerfed only because they consider him easy to play which for whatever reason should mean that he can't be strong as he is. Why couldn't we have a killer that's strong and pretty simple to play ? Because having fun without super tryharding is unfair to survivors with their extremely diffucult and frustrating gameplay, I think not. Better question is why aren't there any survivors threads asking to significantly buff/reowrk other "boring" but weak killers such as Clown or Legion. No, let's better ask to nerf strong boring killer then buff weak boring killers. That takes priority in their minds.

It seems that they don't find Freddy boring as much as they find losing boring imao.

Timing was little impeccable since he literally came out with a video either today or yesterday describing the same perk setup. Didn't mean to offend or anything.
