is Freddy the least popular Killer compare to all Licensed Killers?
I think I see Demogorgon more and you can't get him normaly anymore. He is in sad state I would say atm. Bad add-ons and weak and unintersting power.

Yeah Freddy just feels awful to play and doesnt really bring anything new to the table.
Hes in need of yet another rework

He'd honestly be fine if his dream snares did... you know, something. But they really don't.

Freddy is boring, his most recent nerfs just killed any fun :)

His snares are more than fine. The problem is that they're not strong enough to warrant being locked behind a mode and you basically are a vanilla M1 killer when chasing an awake survivor, which is not exactly very fun nor interesting. I still think he's okayish overall, he only has 2 good addons but that's enough, has antiloop, teleport and some stealth. People liked original Freddy more simply because he was less "stressful" to play.

Necesita un Rework urgentemente

Yes, Freddy is with 1.45% the least picked licensed Killer for a LONG time.

It doesn't help he's directly based on the remake that nobody cares about. And also his map sucks.

Needs a new rework that sort of meshes the two main versions together. Plus something to make the dream world feel more unique I’d say.

I don't know how they made a killer equally boring to play and play against

He has a weird power and no cosmetics, so that is unappealing to people.

Freddy is extremely boring for what he's supposed to be. I mean you just can't get more watered down from the source material than DBD Freddy.. xD

Really hope they kept the code for the old freddy and would be willing to see if he would work in todays dbd

Freddy wasn't fun to play or against. Devs killed a boring playstyle, the Forever Freddy. Their only goal was to be annoying and intentionally dragging the game over 15-20 mins similar gameplay as Skull Merchant.

Freddy's unique power was teleporting but now we got a lot new teleport type killers: Sadako, Demo, Dredge, Xeno
There is no reason to play him.
His anti-loop power is boring and bad. His add-ons are terrible.
BHVR just ruined one of the most iconic slashers. I wish they could never rework him, just buffed his power like how they improved Sadako.

The Nerfs did nothing to his fun. Freddy was boring since the Rework. The reason why he was played a lot was because he was way too easy for the benefit you got. A toddler could have played him and do well, this is how easy he was. The Nerfs removed this, but the general fun was untouched - he is very plain and his skill floor is basically his skill ceiling. If you play one game of Freddy, this is how you will play every game of Freddy.

I think this is a big part of it. If he was OG Freddy and even had lines like Wesker I think we'd see him a lot more often.

Im very curious to see what they will do. They annouced that he is "on our radar for killers to update", whatever this means and whenever changes will happen.
I hope they will adress him next midchapter, but I highly doubt it.

Well, at least they fit their power/character. They make you fall asleep... in real life that is... his power is way too boring.

you guys act like he ever didn’t need a rework

I'm doing ok with Fredward.
Don't play like the streamers.

You can do ok with quite literally any killer nowadays. Doesn't change the fact that he doesn't offer any form of unique gameplay. Wanna slow down Survivors in the middle of a chase? Clown does it better. Wanna teleport to specifically 7 pre-determined spots on the map? Sadako. Want to make fake pallets? Doctor. Wanna make Survivors fall asleep irl? Skull Merchant.
there's not a damn thing he does that others do 100x better

ok... that was never the point?

Yeah, Freddy is totally uninspiring. I'm never at the killer screen and I think "I know, I'll play some Freddy". I only play him if I have a daily, because his dailies are always dead easy (basically hit a surv four times; even his dailies are boring). Generally weak with a boring power, boring presentation, boring mori, just...meh.
And it's sad because he was a horror icon of my youth, and I'd love to have the real Freddy in game. I mean a Freddy who says nothing? How did this ever seem like a good idea? If only they could get Robert Englund's likeness and some voice lines in addition to a rework, he'd immediately be in the top tier in terms of pick rate.
But alas he's just an afterthought in DBD, which is a damned shame.

My point is that he isn't as weak as everyone makes him out to be. I'm no master by any means though.
I guess for me maybe it's the ambience. I like the echos and the way the world looks through his eyes.
0 -
no one is saying he's weak. just boring to play.
0 -
Yeah Im a Freddy Main (surprising, right) and I win mostly my games. However, with multiple hundred hours on him alone I know what his weakness is and why people say he is boring. As Survivor, he is very boring to face and I mostly enjoy the Combo Dream Projection / Dead Mans Switch. The alternative is Endgame-Freddy with Black Box.

Buffing him will just lead to people calling for nerfs that will end up making him overall worse.
