    wait, Freddy is a killer ?
    To me he's just an unpicked survivor with a hobo sweater.
    Not even worth mentioning.

    Thank you, someone who understands

    Uhmm, neither side? He's a lot of fun for me. Actually made it to rank 1 playing only him...

    I still find Freddy fun if you go into a match playing him knowing he is weak and you probably will not walk out with more than 2k. He is fun because of his flaws.

    Well, now that's a first.

    I am an unusual person.

    If I want a competitive game, no way in hell would I run Freddy. I am crazy, not stupid. But if I am looking to just goof off in game and have fun, I will run Freddy. He is rarely played, esp on console. So when he does pop up, its unexpected and you can catch players napping.

    I've been playing knockout slug Freddy and its been working great, even against some SWF groups that help their friends locate slugs.

    Nah I'm gonna keep playing him. Good or bad I enjoy him alot. Also it seems he'll get buffed in the mid chapter balance patch so there's that.

    I could say stop playing doctor because of the same points, but that's for other people. I enjoy playing against any and all killers. 

    I mean, who plays a game they don't enjoy? Seems odd.

    I like going against Freddy as a survivor just for the fear factor that a horror game should deliver. Looking back when in the dream state and being chased by Freddy is a genuine terrifying experience, having only seeing a vague outline and his infamous weapon. Not fun as the killer though, very difficult :(

    freddy would be fine if selfcare didnt wake you up

    FIrst of all. I have all the perks on Freddy so I've put some time on him.

    Freddy is straight up obnoxious to play against for both sides. Survivors hate not being able to hide from him, he tunnels them one by one and that's bad because the tunneled survivor will get tunnel fatigued and the rest of the survivors won't get enough BP in the match because Freddy is only dealing with one survivor at a time.

    His kit is also weak to play as, SC should not be able to wake a survivor up. When transitioning into Dream World survivors should not be able to repair, heal, cleanse or any action progression.

    One of the only decent ways you can play Freddy is when you stack the dress addons together, because where it stands right now skill checks are triggering too often but the problem with that is that it would suck bawls for the survivors.

    Hears Lalalala >> quits game.

    Overall his kit is just bad and annoying to play against. _

    I mean it's down to perspective. I don't agree with that because I face Freddy and can beat him, but can also play him where I don't tunnel.

    Tunneling is a strategy that sadly is the most rewarding of any killer. It's divorced from being specifically a Freddy thing, that's just people's perception. 

    Besides the proposed changes make going after other people to sleep them more worth it. If anything it'll encourage Freddy to hunt everyone down since a 4 second transition and no self care skill checks would be worth it to try and make a slumber party.

    Found your problem right here.

    Most survivors aren't going to pull punches with you, why should you be pulling punches with them?

    They're your adversaries, you should be approaching them with the attitude that your purpose is to utterly DESTROY them.

    Personally, I wish there was more Freddy's out there. I find him an interesting challenge to go up against.
