So many Freddys
I played 13 matches today 9 were Freddy am I missing something? Or is it the easy mode nature of his kit just enticing people?

Maybe it's less an easy mode with freddy they want and its more of a hard mode with other killers they wish to avoid?

Probably enjoying him before he gets gutted.

I wish I was as lucky as you are. I know it can be annoying to get the same killer multiple times, but just try to enjoy those trials... in your dreams.

Still better than iri huntress.

He... Teleports?
... And gets the rest of his power immediately after the first M1?

His traps (or pallets) can be set on the move with little to no effort and basically no time expended on setup, said traps can't be called out or seen immediately, he doesn't have to do anything to make you fall asleep but he can and will, and waking up gives him a notification unless you're using Feng's perk and sacrificing extra gen progress.
Yeah, "just an M1 killer," huh? Not seeing what you mean, care to elaborate?

I mean you literally answered your question. He's simple to use, doesn't require much if any thought and he's good so why wouldn't people use him if they want to win?

Ah, I see, your information is outdated!
He can hit you at any time now. Just so you know.
I'm also dead certain the alarm clocks give a notification.
I'd have to check, but I'm fairly certain he starts with the teleport ready, and (even if he doesn't) unless the player goes in the wrong direction they'll usually start fairly close to survivors (or know spawns enough to make accurate guesses), thus disallowing the completion of any gens quite that quickly.

Waking up via alarm clock, or by another player, doesn't notify the killer in any way (besides the asleep status silently disappearing from their portrait). Only waking up via failing a skill check alerts the killer, and that's because the failed skill check is the notification, not the waking up itself.
Also, Freddy doesn't start with his teleport available; it's fully drained at the start.

Good to know! Time to figure out what the [BAD WORD] all those notifications are near alarm clocks, I guess!
Fair point with the "waking up with other players" point, I forgot about that, my bad.
Also good to know on the teleport! I don't enjoy playing Freddy enough to remember fine details like that, so it's appreciated that you corrected me!

Complaining that you can't call out traps to your SWF while complaining about an op killer is ironic
Your op thing is fine and just a challenge but anything strong of semi challenging to deal with on the killer side must be deleted.

It's been proven Freddy isn't OP by top players man. Just do gens and get out asap

EDIT: This is a post that the forum duplicated, feel free to ignore it, I'm not feeling up to chancing fate by trying to remove it.

He’s just the killer you play if your pissed off or don’t want to try. I know I’ve done that a couple of times

*Cries in SWF Tryhards teams that I always get when trying to play Freddy*...

I've been getting a lot of Spirits lately. Freddy not so much but sometimes I can have days where I got against like 5 Freddys.

Luckily freddy can actually beat such teams

sounds like the swf are playing poorly for the most part.
If you play the early game safe and knock a few gens out Freddy has to sweat hard to come back
0 -
Well if the SWF in question is sweating it kinda makes sense that Freddy has to too
Freddy isn’t as good as people say he is but he is well capable of beating sweaty SWF especially with addons

He's getting nerfed soon so they're enjoying easy mode while they still have it.

I question the tone that I'm getting from you right now.
Bit of an assumption that I play swf when I'm just trying to be inclusive for "the lads" who do actually play pure swf. Also an assumption that I have to be on comms to call out the killer/totems/traps/gen progress/perks/etc. It's not impossible, just harder.
Yes, SWF is hard for killers to play against. Yes, it can be very unfair for new killers. Yes, bully squads are comprised of [BAD WORD] folks.
That doesn't mean that I'm not allowed to dislike Freddy, get off your high horse.
By the by, I enjoy playing killer frequently, and I still hate Freddy. Playing him isn't fun or challenging like the old Freddy.
He didn't need to be "standardized," he was hard for a reason.

So you miss Old Freddy? I know how that feels like. As much as I love the current Freddy, I would do anything to get my old killer back.

I wish I could get as lucky, I like facing trash M1 killer like Freddy.

I get lots of Freddies and slingers if anyone wants to trade

There is something that everyone don't like just got to deal and adapt. When I'm killer I don't like toolboxes with BnP and Prove thyself because I feel there's more than enough resources in most maps (not all) that average survivors can keep/extend chases long enough to win games. The way some of these maps spawn is beyond absurd so 4 survivors who don't have to be great but just understand to be on gens anytime they are not in chase, healing, or rescuing is tough to deal with time wise and that's were most of the tunneling, slugging, and proxy camping come from. We all just got to deal not make forum post about freddy, spirit, DS, UB, SB, yata, yata, yata. Neither side truthfully gives a ######### anymore. Survivors should be able to run what they want and a killer should be able to not only run what he want but use the killer he Fuki**g paid for with being shamed on the forums, end game chat, xbox messages, where ever. ALL killers require skill or there kill rates would be 100% some just need way more than others.
Side note Freddy is more than capable to be beaten. I played my final match to get him to P3 lvl 50 last night and a Nea escaped through the gate. Yeah there were 4 gens left but so what she escaped. It can be done.

So when exactly did I say he was unbeatable?
Because people keep spouting that off like broken records in my general direction, and I'm questioning why.
The rest of your post is completely fair, btw. I have no issues and even agree with what you're saying--but in that case I should be able to play old Freddy.
You know. The killer I paid for?
Anyway, aggression aside, you have a right to your opinion, and I agree with it.

I swapped back to Freddy for a bit as I was getting irked at how sweaty my games were with my M1 killers lately. Sure, I still have a challenge when using him, but at least I feel more in control.

Your right Your exact quote was "Playing him isn't fun or challenging like the old Freddy." Then why complain so much about him in this thread. Also it was clear in this thread you didn't understand everything about him and were aggressive towards other people responding to you. I mean you thought alarm clocks told fred were you are. Bruh!

So many Swf.

I assumed they told him because I keep getting notifications near them when I play him!
... Also, my first response was to someone who said that "Freddy is an M1 killer if you play your cards right." I responded with "yes, but actually no, here's why I disagree."
People seemed to take this as "FrEddY OP PLZ nERf," and I'm really not getting the reasoning behind that assumption.
It's fair to say I don't understand everything about Freddy. I acknowledged that already and tipped my figurative hat to those who corrected me--don't "Bruh!" at me as though I told you that you're wrong with nothing else of substance. Aggression my keister!
Also, fixing your formatting:
You're right, Your exact quote was "Playing him isn't fun or challenging like the old Freddy."
Then why complain so much about him in this thread!?
Also you made it clear in this thread that you don't understand everything about him not to mention you were aggressive towards other people responding to you.
I mean, you thought alarm clocks told Fred were you are. Bruh!
Sorry if you take offence to the above fixes, the layout and grammatical mistakes were bothering me. Feel free to tell me off for it, it's just something I needed to do, like eating M&Ms in matching pairs or sorting books by color.

If that your thing and you got that kind of free time so be it. Since you have the free time to re-type messages in correct format maybe you can watch some youtube clips on Freddy so you have a better understanding of his FEW counters. Even if it's just a few he still has them. BRUH
0 -
Then maybe you won't hate him so much and can just hate Spirit like everyone else.

Cool, you aren't actually reading my posts, you're just picking someone at random to "correct" and throw out your opinion to--I don't need to respond to you anymore, because you aren't actually offering any relevant discussion!
Just so you know, what you're saying isn't relevant to my posts. Try again some other time when you're paying attention.

I was playing him a bunch today, wanted to use up a bunch of party streamers before he is nerfed to potatoe level. I dont get it tbh hes only really strong if he has run and tinkerer up all game, other than that hes a basic m1 if you're awake and even asleep you can still loop and drop pallets etc. Out of all my games the survivors were at fault for losing, not enough people do gens now, it's all about hook bombing for altruism lol

I think his basekit makes him more effective than most other killers against sweaty SWF and with the right perk build, can make a 4 man SWF a challenge for them. If I go up constant SWF ans get fed up I'll run Freddy with PGTW, Discordance, BBQ and Surveillance (i call it the anti SWF Gen Rush Build), not needing any add ons and actually feel that I can have a proper competitive game with the sweaty 4 man's. I agree i don't think he's as god like as people proclaim, nor is he as skilless as people make him out to be (ok teleporting doesn't take skill and his snares make anti loop easier but if you don't know how to loop effectively game over). He can give a 4 man a run for their money and that's why I think there's so much 'Freddy OP'. The sweaty 4 man SWF like to be in control the whole time
