When will Freddy receive love?
Almost 3 years ago, he got overnerfed in so many ways. If u take a look at all the character-wikis, you wont find any character spammed with Nerfs more than Freddy.
Some of you loved OG Freddy and want him back (buffed), some of you would like to see little Buffs / QoL to his current state. As always, I think both together could work.
But when will the devs finally do something for him, besides nerfs, nerfs, nerfs?
Nurse got her own chase music in january, Hag months before and so on. Currently, there are a few killers left with the Base-Music, so my hopes are high that everyone gets his own and in this moment, they receive attention from the devs for Addon-Passes, Rework etc.
What would you like to see happen to Freddy? OG "Pull into Dream"-Freddy without the 10sec nerf from 1.8.1? The current Freddy with Pallets and Snares Basekit, removing the immortality from alarm clocks for falling asleep? Something different?
If I saw it right, almost everyone here (which is a rarity) agreed that Freddy desperately need love.

Somehow freddy got the highest kill rate so he probably won't ever get change

Fake-Pallets on Low-MMR.
Plus: His Synergy Gen-Regression-Perks + Teleport directly to gens, not to TVs or locker etc.
Works on average, but beyond he is a toy for the SWFs.

I haven’t seen Freddy in months and I’ve been totally ok with that. Definitely in my top 5 most annoying killers to go against as survivor, although not as bad as Pinhead or Legion

I always assumed that BHVR and the Elm Street license holders have a terrible relationship, which could also explain why Quentin and Freddy never got any cosmetics since release. I really don't want to believe that Behaviour has basically gave up on Freddy but that's really how it feels like.

It would be better to give his Add-ons buffs and reworks though. I love fake pallet Freddy a lot especially on maps with a stupid amount of them, but noise add-ons? Does he really need that?
0 -
yeah he really need a buff badly but behavior will just justify his current weak state with the kill rates

Im P100, played him tons of hours, I know what I can do with him. But its not only me, there are others who play Freddy and some things I hear every single time: terribly bad addons, weak v. SWFs, Slowdown for placing snares is unreasonable etc.
I would be happy if he just receive an Addon-Pass which synergize with his abilities, not the current "bad random-stuff".

Yeah I know that. Im more curious about opinions how people would like to see changes.

I cannot wrap my head around the fact that some people seem to have trouble playing against Freddy. You can say what you want about Trapper but he definitely has some scenarios where he shines. Freddy doesn't even have that going for him.
He literally starts without a power and when the gens are done he has no power again. Genius. His chase is abismal even if the survivor is asleep. The dream snares are literally half of clowns power in weaker. The pallets are pretty much useless and a nerf to him. I use them quite often just to remind myself that no matter how bad the other killers might feel they're still better than that.
I can get better results with less effort on any other killer.

I can’t even look at Freddy. I started playing this game for Freddy and went through hell learning this damn game and Old Freddy power. I was super happy they were going to rework him since I was playing at the level where I was being held hostage by survivors and they had absolutely too much control over my power. Then they gave us New Freddy and I was never so shockingly disappointed.
Id rather go back to Old Freddy and be abused than play New Freddy and be bored out of my mind. RIP Old Freddy, I know your never coming back~
IMO I’d scrap this Freddy and start over ‘again’ because whatever this is, it’s not Freddy…

The Pig would like to have a word, good sir

I'm still waiting on the promised Twins, and Sadako changes, hopefully Freddy isn't too far behind either

Well, with the way things are now with Freddy. Probably never, which is a shame, I love a nightmare on elm street. It's pretty sad how badly an icon as big as Freddy is treated, even if it's the remake Freddy he deserves love.

People complained about Freddy like they do about DH today. It's really no surprise he was nerfed into oblivion. Likely so people would just shut up about him lol.

Just looked at the wiki.
Pig - 5 nerfs listed
Freddy - 9 nerfs listed.
This also doesn’t include any of Freddy’s add on nerfs, just his base kit.
1 -
Wait, which freddy? Because old freddy and new freddy are basically two completely different killers
0 -
OG - 5
Rework - 4
So rework is still more if you count the add on nerfs.
Trapper also has more nerfs than them with 9 himself.

I like what Tru3 suggested. Simply give him a phase sort of like Sadako while survivors are in the dream world and make it so his powers work on awake and asleep survivors boom he's fixed

You can have it. Trade me.

He's already gotten a full rework off them. It was something everyone was asking for too. Now we all miss old Freddy.

I like the idea that in the dream world he can manipulate stuff more. A sadako like phase would be good. But also give him the ability to place fake map interactables, so for example if he's looking at a place where a pallet could spawn (whether there is a broken or not one at all) he can place a dream pallet and if he looks at a spot where a totem could spawn let him place a fake hex totem. Same thing with breakable doors and even fake clocks that highlight for everyone and maybe even a fake gen with random "progress" that overlays already completed ones.
His snares should be placed if your just looking at the bare ground, so the power would be context sensitive and easy to use even whilst in chase. Interacting with any of his fakes should give a scream and a notification. The whole idea is that the dream world is HIS world and survivors can't trust anything there.
To help keep survivors there, just being in his proximity should increase the speed that you fall asleep too. Also let him teleport to completed gens so his power doesn't get diminshed as the trial goes on.

He’s objectively one of the weaker killers though. His add-ons are basically placebos, His snares are just worse versions of clown/pinhead’s powers that don’t work if the survivor is awake and his teleport is just worse sadako/dredge power
He’s basically a clown/dredge hybrid but is still worse than both of them
1 -
The biggest issues are in my opinion
1. Terrible Addons (besides 3)
2. Powerless when survs are awake
3. Teleport-Ability gets weaker and weaker with every completed generator.
1 -
He's licensed, so never.
But fr, adding paintbrush to basekit and making his power a little smoother to use could go a long way.
2 -
Speak for yourself, because as an OG Freddy main, I definitely didn't ask for his rework.
3 -
Probably never unfortunately.
Bhvr are neglecting a lot of the older low profile killers. And don't seem interested in going back to them to balance them.
Deathslinger, freddy, twins. All virtually unplayable against a half way decent team at the moment.
But bhvr have made their money from them amd see no profit in improving them so i guess we're stuck.

My uncle that works at bhvr said that just after trapper.
