IMO: Freddy is the only killer in the entire game who needs brand new power
I think all other killers can exist well with their power allready, some needs just some QoL update, addon pass or changes. But Freddy needs to do just something else, again, yes. His power is too similar with other killers, his power is not great to play with and play againts. You also can't just buff his raw numbers or give him better addons since he will be the same boring gameplay killer to play as and VS.
I think Freddy needs something. Just something unique that no other killer has to make him more interesting for both sides and then players will play him more as well.
He is now just teleporting to gen killer with worse Clown bottle chase power. His sleeping mechanic isn't interesting either IMO.

100% agree. Maybe a good start would be to have him switch between snares and dream pallets, just like clown does with his bottles.

I personally would love to see OG Freddy revisited. Maybe as a blend of current Freddy and OG Freddy.

He definitely needs a rework. Never see him anymore.

No, OP, Legion also needs a new power because the gameplay is so boring. They should lean in to the multiple identities and come up with an entirely new power since mending + healing is boring as possible to play.

Not gonna happen. Legion has a fan base that loves to play them as they are, which is why the devs didn’t rework them when they had their recent pass over.

They might love a new version even more. And it is DEFINITELY needed. We already have healing and mending in other scenarios (especially with base BT). It needs to be far more interesting for everyone, including the killer.

Look what I have here. Some weeks ago.
Of course, a complete Rework would be warmly welcome.

I've never seen Nightmare on Elm Street, so I can't contribute ideas about the execution of his power relative to his lore, but I'd like to see more done with the Dream World.
I'd be interested in seeing him explored as a quasi-stealth killer--no more lullaby for survivors in the Dream World--who has a haste bonus, and maybe action speed bonus, for every survivor in the Dream World, while Freddy is in the Dream World. Remove his snares & teleport ability.
Give him the power to move pallets out of whatever 'world' he is in at the time, while walking through them.
Give survivors a secondary objective to try and pull Freddy out of the Dream World temporarily, by turning on several alarm clocks. Freddy would be able to hear these from some distance away and disable them. If 3 are active at once, Freddy is pulled out of the Dream World temporarily.

absolutely playing freddy feels so ######### bad it always feels like I have no power and it's extremely discouraging

Doesn't need to be brand new
The og one with some tweaks will do

Dream World just needs some sort of lethality/boost if survivors stay in it for too long.
A hard reason/necessity to stay awake is all he needs, imo, as clocks would then function as slowdown, too.

As a former Freddy main, I think his biggest issue is the alarm clock change. He basically has no power other than the teleport for long stretches of time. But yes it would have been nice to have both pallets and snares but if survivors are awake for most of the match, it makes no difference.

This is what I was about to say as well. I don’t think he needs a new power, the dream world could be good enough. Survivors should be forced to work more towards not being asleep.

He had that. Forever freddy was lethality boost because you could stack sloppy butcher+ old thanotophobia for massive anti-healing with dream world. Swinging chains and Jump rope were punishments for staying in his dream world on both gens and healing. He just got nerfed. nothing else.
I think he's fine as horror icon in the game. Not every killer has to be strong I guess. some are destined to be F-tier.

I always felt his power should operate like some of Doctor's addons.
If you're in the Dreamworld - Freddy should be ######### with you. Period.

Just revert the nerfs.

I'm talking basekit.
Maybe something like he can see your aura if you're in there for 2 minutes, exposed after 3, etc.

That would be nice. Or even some throwaway add ons that change his power into other gimmicky ones, etc

Legions entire power is canceled by survivors splitting up... which is already one of the strongest things survivors can do.

I would love a power that makes me feel like I'm actually playing as Freddy in the dreamworld. The pallets and snares are okay but I want to feel like I'm actually controlling the dream without being op. Also Robert Englund Freddy please.

his power is not great to play with
Talk for yourself. Snares are great, he just needs new stuff on top of it. Basekit dream pallet being an obvious suggestion.
