Is it really the appropriate time to nerf Freddy?
Freddy has precisely one strength: He can read the aura of survivors after he inevitably loses them in a chase, because he is a M1 killer with no power to help him in a chase and no way to speed up the pallet looping process.
Instead of completely abandoning Freddy and allowing him to fall even further into a state of garbage while we wait for the rework, maybe, just MAYBE, they could hold off on the "lockers hide aura" change until said rework? We did pay money for this "killer" after all.

it is a travesty isnt it the lockers hide auras is one of the worst changes ive ever seen couple that with return of slow pick up super buffed borrow time new meta breakdown and as if sfw qasnt overpowered already aftercare and top it off with a broken stealth perk able to give you a free escape and a new killer not worth the dirt on the ground truly the devs no longer give a ######### about kilers

and now freddy cant find anyone in his dream world because they can duck in a locker then use distortion to cover themselves up until they wake up bcause distortion hads no time limit per token which is bull #########

Doesn't Distortion only work for 10 seconds per used up token? It seems to me that a Survivor in the Dreamworld would run out of token pretty quick.3

I'm amazed they didn't buff Freddy with this patch, I genuinely thought they would. He's one of my favorite killers and he deserves better.

If you're worried about lockers use Iron Maiden.

We know that they are working on a revamp for Nightmare, and I believe that it's fair to assume that this locker change is likely taking whatever those changes are into account. Nerfing Freddy in his current state feels incredibly bad and unnecessary, though, for sure. Personally, my biggest issue with this locker change is that it just doesn't feel very intuitive from a design standpoint. There is really no reason for a player to naturally think that a locker would hide your aura, so it's something you would only known if you read it in a loading screen tooltip or had someone tell you, which I think is not ideal from a game design standpoint.

This is something we will adapt to, but to make it work it needs to remove all survivor Aura reading as well while they are inside.
- low pick up: How do they not do something in between the old and the new. Makes no sense. Speeding up the pick up sped up the game, increased the competitive and frantic nature of a match. No reason to screw with that.
- IMO: Borrowed time is now broken. Simple as that. Stop giving survivors easy outs because of loops and extended chases.
- New survivor perks. While they will make it into many builds. They still have to take the place of Urban evasion, Sprint burst, Self-care, DS, etc. So I welcome more variety.

He got nerfed twice.
First of all, the aura thign you mentioned.
Second, the new graphic style makes it even harder to see in dreamworld.I guess I will play him exclusively to derank now

I don't think Distortion or Lockers will hide Freddys aura reading if they do I will actually have to hang myself because my Freddocini shouldn't suffer like that. We are in a pretty rough spot with this patch tho and I will have a feeling that highranks become even more painful which means for me to play my way back up from 9-1 and then quit for the rest of the month

Use Iron Maiden perk. Boom! Problem solved. You're welcome!

This is actually a very good point I havent seen mentioned. No time on distortion is pretty freddy breaking.friendlykillermain said:@alivebydeadight said:

I mean yeah but I really don't like the idea of perks being used to balance a killer in my opinion. Hopefully you'll understand my point of view.Dreamnomad said:Use Iron Maiden perk. Boom! Problem solved. You're welcome!
