Fake pallets should replace snares as base for freddy

That would actually make me hate him more, I don't really enjoy having to guess which pallet is real while being chased only to find out that they're both fake.

In the lower to red ranks fake pallets don't help you as most survivors will just throw all the pallets down early. Not to mention swf on comms who can call out which ones are fake.

If you have no way to slow the survivors down they can loop you more often. Not to mention using dead hard to extend a loop. The snares just fit so much better.

I think the changes they made to Freddy are by far the best changes they have made to the game in a long time.

Honestly making it so any clock can wake you up instead of the one furthest away from you would make so much difference. Waking up is Freddy's counter but it's such a hassle to do

Also buff Technician so it removes the penalty of failed skill checks instead of adding more. Then players have a perk they can slap on to counter Freddy

The only way you would win a killer with nothing is if the survivors you were up against are weak. Also the only way to tell if a killer is viable or weak is based on your performance against the very "top 4%" ( those group of survivors that know how to work every loop on every map, have >5000 hours in the game each of them). You can get a 4 k even with clown if you are good and the survivors you are given are randoms with less expirience. To all those saying a killer is "too op", i wish you would have 1 entire day as killer of your own choosing going against 4 man swf with more then 5000 hours each, that know every map every loop, and use communications, and then formulate an opinion

Freddy is hard countered by not being asleep, you have 50 ways to break out of it. Best being the clocks. Seriously, if you are awake, freddy is just an M1 killer that can teleport (which is actually a longer CD when survivors are awake).

Also, comparing him against other killers you mentioned:

Demo:

• Demo portals are secondary to its power and offer more map control than freddy because you can place them anywhere, while freddy has to teleport to gens, which becomes useless if all the gens are repaired.
• Shred can be better than snares in many cases because you can bait window and pallet drops similar to PH

Trapper:

• It has already been known for a long time that trapper is in a bad place and needs some buffs, but comparing the snares to trapper who has traps that can instantly down you is pretty dumb.

Nurse:

• Who is by far the best killer in the game, and far far better than freddy.

Freddy is a B tier killer at best.

Right, so you obviously didn't read what i wrote.

Trapper is much weaker as a killer for a lot of reasons, but his traps aren't one of them. His traps are far better than freddy's. His main problem is that bag addons are basically required to play him and he is hard countered by a single perk (although rare) and an item. Outside of that though, his traps are much much stronger. This is why you can't step in his traps.

I understand you never said he was better, but the point i'm making is that, he is B tier at best, and even mentioning nurse in the same sentence is disgraceful.

mentioning plague again... You DON'T WANT TO CLEANSE against a plague. This just shows me that you don't know what you are talking about. Yeah, you can walk to the nearest pool and cleanse, and then you would give her access to her real power. You don't cleanse until the very end of the game. With freddy, you do the opposite, you "cleanse" as often as possible.

Freddy teleports DO have a counter, he can only teleport to generators, once the generators are done, he can't teleport anymore. He also has a much longer cooldown on his teleports. Especially if you can stay awake. He literally has NO POWER when you are awake. 0. He does nothing but m1 in a chase. He also doesn't know where to teleport without a perk to assist him. BBQ is pretty easy to counter, and so is thrilling. Additionally, Freddy can't teleport to a generator that is blocked.

That was nice, but I hardly ever used it really. I don't think he needed everything they gave him, the only real problem he had was the inability to do anything for a few seconds after finding a survivor and all the abusive things that they came with that original power.

Well, one has to remember that in the movies, people slowly fall asleep or lose their ability to stay awake, so they drift in and out of the dream world, which is kinda how they manage to explain his new power in DBD, with survivors drifting in and out of sleep, Freddy can technically affect you physically.

They have an add-on that starts survivors asleep, but it's kinda meh, imo. Freddy isn't the only one who can negate BT, a cloaked Wraith can, a killer with Insidious, or any perk that affects the heartbeat, since BT is based on heartbeat, not physical distance from the hook.

I dunno if simply making dream pallets base is the right solution. I do agree that something needs to be done about Freddy though. His skill cap is almost non existent, if you're a good m1 killer then you'll go far with Freddy. His teleport has zero counterplay too which is frustrating. You can wake up to delay the inevitable but eventually he will teleport and you can do nothing about it. It doesn't matter that your gen is nearly done because the Freddy is teleporting and probably has ruin or pop to murder that gen you nearly completed. The counterplay to his snares are an absolute snoozefest because all you can do is predrop the pallet and force him to break it (Which is harder at unsafe pallets lol).

I'm at the point now where I would rather face an extremely sweaty spirit then face yet another ######### Freddy. Issue of course is that everyone and their mother plays Freddy so yeah, fun :')
