The most unpopular opinion
I think Freddy is overrated!
I think Oni is underused
I don’t understand why everyone says Freddy is a Briandead killer cause I was in a tournament and my captain played as Freddy against team agony and he hooked his first survivor and they completed 4 gens before he even hooked his first survivor. he’s not brain dead cause he’s still a M1 killer and can be rushed like any killer Oni can end games a lot faster than Freddy with IF I timed it I had a game only last 5-6 minutes with Oni. Freddy took a long time to kill all 4. What’s your unpopular opinion about killers?

Yes, freddy is not the strongest killer because there are better killers which require much more skill and game knowledge to reach their potential. But in fact he has ridiculous amount of passive and active abilities compared to other killers, like:
- passive gen, healing and sabotage slowdown addons
- a strange lullaby that makes it difficult to define how close is killer (at least for me)
- being invisible at certain distance helps killer sneak up and come from unexpected angle, which may result in free hit
- tons of people waste a lot of time to run for clocks to wake up (for some reasons real clock is always very far)
- it's harder to loop in dream world, colors are blurry and its way harder to spot red light or ever pallete
- anti looping snares
- ability to teleport to gens
- borrowed time don't work against him which helps him a lot during camping or tunelling
That's part of his basekit, which make garbage killers win against good solo survivors or even decent swf teams.

the 1st one is wrong the 2nd one is right

Because Freddy in the hands of a mediocre player is nearly indistinguishable from Freddy in the hands of an amazing player, and he's strong enough that nothing but slamming gens gets escapes. Which is all that DbD tournaments are, even the BP ones.

Freddy with Paint Brush + Swing Chains makes it very easy to win even for bad Killers.
It's true that Oni can snowball much faster. But I would argue Freddy is overall more consistent in getting the 4k, even if it takes him longer.

Tbf killers with a low skill ceiling are the ones people find the most boring on both sides. Freddy, Clown, Legion, Spirit etc. There are very few people who say they actually main killers like these because there really isn't much to do or learn with them that isn't just shown to you in black and white.

Wanna know something sad about this post? It's almost like you havn't played against Freddy.
- passive gen, healing and sabotage slowdown addons
For starters you only get the slowdown from the Add-On's, and that slow down is only -8% from a fully stacked Swing Chains (all 4 survivors) - so not even a full second of extra time, and 4% from Jump Rope. Both combined can only make a maximum of like an extra 5 seconds to a gen.
- a strange lullaby that makes it difficult to define how close is killer (at least for me)
It's literally a large sized terror radius, bigger than most Killers in the game. The only reason you wouldn't want to be in the Dream World is to avoid Dream Pallets and Snares - during a chase. You are safer in the dream world than you are outside of it. That's why Pill Bottle exists, so that Freddy has SOMETHING when most of the time you are SAFER while under the effect of his power.
- being invisible at certain distance helps killer sneak up and come from unexpected angle, which may result in free hit
Which you only get with Pill Bottle - another Add on. Which by the way so far your complaints have revolved around his add-ons, which only one really gives him a stronger effect.
- tons of people waste a lot of time to run for clocks to wake up (for some reasons real clock is always very far)
So because the survivors purposly waste their time, and that means the Killer is overpowered? Give yer head a shake.
- it's harder to loop in dream world, colors are blurry and its way harder to spot red light or ever pallete
That's the point of the dream world. If you expect to be looping soon, wake tf up. It's easy to wake up, just don't be dumb and fail a skill check to do it.
- anti looping snares
Only when you're asleep. You see when he puts them down. You can run to another loop. Killer's are supposed to catch you, you are not supposed to be able to run from Killers indefinitely.
- ability to teleport to gens
Which the gen literally spews a fountain of blood, giving you more than enough time to hide. Which is considerate compared to Nurse or Spirit.
- borrowed time don't work against him which helps him a lot during camping or tunelling
Have you thought of - idk - not performing unsafe saves? You wouldn't need your crutch perk, if you just got better at the game.
So yeah. It deffiently sounds like Freddy is overrated. I never have an issue against him. It's stealth killers, Nurses, and Spirit are really the only Killers I ever face that completely stomp me and my teams.
