How will they change freddy?
I really am curious to see how they will rework him without changing his nature completely...
I mean, he is a dream demon that kill you wile you are asleep.
I'm pretty sure they literally "CAN'T" change that (remember is a licensed killer)
Soo... how do you make him interesting starting from there?

He is a killer, but he plays with his victims in the movies. Where as I feel like most of the other killers, licensed or not, are in-it-to-win-it per say. Freddy just needs people to be afraid of him, so he can continue to exist. Killing doesn't need to happen for Freddy - its more of a bonus.
So my wish list for this would be just make EVERYONE in sleep state at the beginning and for the duration of the match, and ignore the "freddy is invisible" and puts people to sleep. He doesn't do that in the movies, it shouldn't be a thing here. If you're up against Freddy you are already asleep.
I think Freddy should be the "I'm afraid to do this Gen" killer. Because maybe the generator is fake, and causes a hit when you fail a skill check on it, and when its all done, it doesn't count. Maybe "fake freddys" or "fake survivors" can be seen walking around in the distance and just disappear. I want Freddy to be the real "Play with the survivors" killer, and the way I see that happening is by making them legit scared to Gens because you don't know where freddy is and what can hurt - not because you physically can't SEE freddy.
Just my 2 cents.

If they change numbers im gonna be mad. He really needs a power update cause his power was rushed without careful study. Freddy chases in dreams correct but also messes with people. Doctor is like half freddy and freddy is the other half of him. They better make him feel like freddy cause you could just make a sandman killer out of his powers.0

Hi I played Freddy since he was released and I just love and adore him as a killer, but as ya know he is a dream shadow of his former self. I do have some ideas about a rework for his powers since I know the frustration all too well.
When first pulled into the dream world first and foremost it should interrupt all actions but have no indicators for someone falling asleep who wasnt pulled in and it should add a regression property if they chose to work through sleep to fail a skill check while in dream trans. the time it takes to fall asleep reduces to 4 seconds because survivors can get so far with the current time. And lastly give Freddy priority if a nonasleep survivor heals a down survivor give him priority he can walk through survivors but not actually pick interact with the ones asleep when a woke survivor is interacting.
a new ultra rare add on that causes the survivors not to notice when they're pulled into dream until they're already asleep.

These are extremely great and realistic ideas!

I've been saying this for a while. Freddy Krueger doesn't put people to sleep, he waits patiently in his victims dreams, to torment them, torture them. He wants them to be afraid to ever fall asleep again, should they never wake up. He's the dream demon. Not the sandman. I feel like they had a concept of a sandman type killer then gave the power to Freddy.MisterCremaster said:He is a killer, but he plays with his victims in the movies.

The dream realm is Freddy's domain, there he's god. He has all the power. (Just building him up a lil bit, as poor fella is a joke in DBD)
Freddy's current kit, not only doesn't represent who he is, it's also not fun for either side. His power should be reworked, and I'll be disappointed if all they do is buff him. Michael Myers kit is imo a good example of capturing who he is.2
