Poor Freddy....
I hardly face him, but when I do 40% of the time some DC right away upon discovering he's the killer.
I don't even know why...he's hardly the worst killer to face....

90% of the Freddies I face are pallet Freddies, and 90% of the pallet Freddies I face use NOED.
And then I win, because nobody's afraid of fake pallets anymore and everyone knows how to find totems rhanks to Ruin/Undying.

I dont know what pallet Freddy is. I'm new to facing him cause I'm on Switch...

Literally just played a game and even brought a bps to incentivize people to stay with the bloodhunt nope 2 dcs instantly. Can we just put a extended ban on in freddy games within the first like minute. At least let me get my bbq stacks.

Oh my God it's a Buttercake thread that isn't cursed, praise be!
[Legit though I think it's because a lot of people just find him boring, especially ForeverFreddy:tm:s. I don't have too big of an issue with him, until he has bad ping in which case I will just kill myself on hook because I am not being hit at shack when he swings as a ######### long wall next to me Susan.]

He's got the reputation of being a very strong and boring killer to face so people just instantly nope out.
Personally i don't mind him at all.

I mean, they're playing the current highest winrate killer. I don't feel that bad for them.

Pallet Freddy are the 3 (!) addons that replace his snares with fake pallets.
They're nowhere near as strong as his snares, but they are more fun so a lot of people use them.

So, like the Doctors effect? That's all fine by me. I don't do good in loops in things so real or fake it doesn't change my situation. 😊

A standard freddy game is as follows:
- Freddy finds survivor
- Survivor runs to pallet
- Freddy spams snares and holds W until he gets a hit
- Repeat all game
very, very fun gameplay

They're a bit more powerful than Doctor's Restraint addon. With Doc's illusory pallets they dissappear the moment you walk by them. Freddy's explode into a shower of blood when you drop them. Which can be funny, yeah, but it can also be easily countered.
You only see fake pallets when you're asleep, so if you scout pallets while awake you'll rarely be fooled. And he has to set his fake pallets manually, so if you see one while not in chase you can drop it to get rid of it.
AND on a lot of tiles where pallets are quaranteed to spawn he can only place a fake once the real pallet has been dropped and broken. If you run to a jungle gym/killer shack early on in the game it's practically a guarantee that those pallets are real.

I play freddy very rarely, but when I do, I go for hardcore slowdown and BBQ. EZ games, but I apologise afterwards :D
I guess I´m not the only one that uses lame builds on him, same with basement insidious camping Bubbas. People just expect these Killers to play a certain way, they don´t like it, so they DC.
BTW, if a match gets cancelled about 1 minute in, report them. They are abusing a loophole to bypass the DC penalty as showcased by a certain fog whisperer and his friends.

Solo Freddy is unwinnable unless all 4 survivors play perfectly, that is assuming the Freddy has decent experience.
One weak link absolutely destroys any possible gen progress due to the littany of regression and slowdown freddy has available while also having a decent chase power and good mobility. Then theres the free map pressure for... nothing that he has.
I think he has the biggest disparity in performance with Solo vs SWF of any killer in this game. Even a bad freddy can do ok with the right add on and perk combos due to sheer attrition of the survivors. He's braindead and boring.
1 -
He´s definately up there, but as a Trapper "main" I can tell you that the difference between solo and swf is very significant for him, too. It´s the difference between being able to use the same trap twice or having to relocate them every time, which is huge.
2 -
Oh thats definitely true. I love trapper to death but once I reached red ranks again on PC it just wasnt working out. Good survivors don't fall for the 3 gen set up and some maps just dont have the grass needed to be unpredictable at loops.
Than theres needing a brown bag minimum just for time save.

My fun meter drops to zero as well when I see him.

Freddy is one of the two Killers I am terrible against. The other is Wraith.
I would never DC but Freddy is so unfun to play against. I also, literally, literally have no idea what to do against him.
1 -
I think people just hate them stupid snares. Like he places one or three hundred and sixty nine mid loop that doesnt slow him down while placing at all and he gets a free hit every time. He is also the easiest killer in the game and i wouldnt DC against him but if he has red paint brush i personally feel i should be able to mori him.
2 -
I mean why would you ever play freddy if you could just play pinball man? 🤔
But i do understand why people hate freddy.His gameplay is so extremely boring and unfun for the survivor side you might aswell fall asleep in real life.
1 -
I guess it's cause I've been pushed back in ranks since crossplay, that I haven't faced any crazy skilled Freddys. I always heard tale about him back in the day and was scared to face him, but when I finally did I didn't understand the hate. I guess it's just cause I haven't REALLY faced him. I haven't even faced The Pallet Freddy yet.

No, If I fall asleep in real life I'll have to hear those dumb girls singing and jumping rope...😔

Was waiting for that kind of comment 😎
No,i don't think freddy is boring because i can't run him easily in circles.I just don't like that the gameplay is drop the pallet early every time or get hit otherwise.
Killer like blight,huntress or oni are all really strong killers and hard to verse once the player knows how to use them but they are fun to go against nonetheless because their gameplay is much more fluid and engaging in my opinion
1 -
Of course it's completely subjective.There are people that hate to play against freddy and people who love to verse him.
And obviously there are also people that use that term as an excuse for getting outplayed.
I don't know what people have against huntress.Yeah,sometimes she's throwing fridges at you but i've also seen a lot of hatchets that should have hit too.
I guess people tend to rather remember the BS that happened to them than the other side

Freddy has add-ons that make so, instead of placing his usual snares on the ground, he can put down fake pallets in spots where there isn't currently a pallet. They look exactly like a real pallet to a sleeping survivor, but when the survivor drops them they just explode in a shower of blood and slow the survivor down. I love using fake pallets, snares are a bit better to be honest but pallets are hilarious. 😄Not to mention that, even though people don't get caught by fake pallets as often, when they do get fall for a fake pallet it's a 100% guaranteed hit. So it's higher risk but a bit higher reward when it pays off.

Freddy's dreamworld also tanks about 20fps or more. So anyone with a low-end-ish PC will suffer.
1 -
Like a lot of things in this game, Freddy suffers severely from one of the worst cases of "that's not how far his arms reach, Tyrone" syndrome. Nothing like getting hit by shockwaves of ultimate power like you're fighting a DBZ character.
1 -
He's boring because it forces you to play in the same way at every loop and waste pallets like a rank 20 meg. Greeding is non-existent against them which for me is very fun and rewarding if the killer respects the pallet or swings early.
1 -
Yeah, I hate getting Freddy dailies. Play Spirit? Normal game. Play Slinger? Normal game. Play Legion? Normal game. Play Freddy? Someone's vault spamming inside of 20 seconds.

Are you sure about that?

You took the bait. >:)

No that is not what I am saying at all, if it actually took skill like huntress, hillbilly, blight, I'd be all for having to loop differently and adapt your playstyle to the killer at hand but when it's literally just press a button for value (hypocritical survivor I know) then that's when it's boring. I like dodging hatchets and chainsaws not being forced to run into a pool and get hit no matter what.
1 -
I honestly am with you I also play killer but I want things to be fun for both sides, the devs I believe have said that they are changing DH to do something else entirely so that fixes that issue. Ds still needs to be changed so it's not "haha you cant touch me for a minute" but it's pretty much impossible to win against a good freddy, spirit, or nurse without 4 man gen rushing swf. It's hard enough winning nowadays in solo que where I have to do 4 of 5 gens then get out with hatch.

freddy is the strongest m1 killer in the game, he lacks nothing and very good in every aspect, equilibrated in the stuff he is not that amazing. so he is stpidly good at everything, PLUS THAT very easy to use. is a farminchg machine and has sense him being the one with higher kill rate.
1 -
Fair enough, freddy is basically the 4 man swf of killer so I see no problems with that. I must say spirit or nurse is better but requires more skill to use obviously. He definitely isn't unbeatable and I never said he was. It just requires being hyper efficient which is pretty much impossible in solo que where teammates get knocked in 0.2 seconds. If anything, solo que needs a buff because I swear the teammates I get urban evade the whole game and never touch a gen.
