Freddy rework looks great on paper but in execution leaves much to be desired
No, i'm not talking about how strong he is, the new buffs are great, i'm talking about his pallets!
His dream pallets were his greatest form of mindgame now survivors have no reason to doubt a pallet as be it fake or not, it will still stun Freddy even if it is for a shorter period of time.
Before this rework, dream pallets in play could give you a free hit if a survivor wasn't paying attention or didn't know the pallet was fake OR make them second guess if a real pallet is a fake giving you the chance for a hit/down in a loop when otherwise they would just drop it on your head without hesitation.
That was the nature of Freddy's dream pallets and their mindgame potential. Now all his mindgame ability has been swapped with a mechanic seasoned survivors are either gonna know to avoid like the plague or still stun freddy with it.
Everything about the new Reworked Freddy is great except for his dream pallets, give us the old ones back when Freddy hits live servers please, I don't care if we can't explode them anymore.

I want them to change an addon that allows rupture pallets to be changed to the current dream pallets

Yeah current pallets may be weak, but they are great fun and satisfying to use. I always choose pallets for my current Freddy games, I don't like this new iteration.

Hardly weak at all! You just gotta know when you place one, don't place it in an area a survivor just ran through awake or asleep for that matter because they will know immediately that the pallet is fake if you loop them in the area.
Always keep survivors guessing, respect your fake pallets at random(not all the time) to make them believe the fake pallet is real and on real pallets don't respect them to potentially make them think its a fake. The dream pallets are only half the mind-game, the other half IS YOU!

Another thing i forgot to mention in my OP:
Bring back old dream clocks and their mechanics, the fact that survivors can wake themselves up and be immune to falling asleep can be heavily abused turning freddy into an M1 killer with no power.

That would be just like current Sadako.
