Will Freddy be getting overly nerfed a 3rd time

Hopefully his dream pallets will get buffed.

If they don't like reworked Freddy, they have nobody to blame but themselves. Freddy's first rework was fine, even though they called him S tier (because he was clearly as strong as pre-nerf Nurse, right? 😂), because at the end of the day he was an M1 killer with slowdown. That's all he really was, and still is btw. I argued that if you dropped that version of him in today's meta, he'd still be nothing, less than nothing, but he'd actually have a bit more stuff. He had strategy-based anti-loop because you could place far more snares, and even fake pallets (not sure why their count was ever nerfed). You could wake up from dream with clocks on top of missed skill checks. If he teleported to your gen, just let go and run, or if he faked it, come back. There was nothing to him, for good survivors. But because bad survivors en masse complained about this M1 trash, calling him Nurse/Spirit tier, he got nerfed, and has just sat at the bottom of the tier list since.

It takes a lot to surprise me these days, but I was surprised to hear the talk of Freddy needing a nerf before his rework drops, and this coming from experienced players. Why? "Because he can slug." So what? Every killer can slug, and their kill rate is sad, even by the most generous metric. You can't advocate for a game state which completely favors the survivors (assuming they know what they're doing), and then punish the killer player when he adapts and strategizes to try and make something of their situation. 🤷‍♀️ Slugging is that strategy. Now, I didn't ask for or expect a Freddy ability that lets him tp to in-dream healers, but that doesn't mean that it shouldn't be a thing. Let the devs send it to live so that we can actually try it out. The feedback from the ptb is always a joke, because it's always "This killah is too strong." Even if the tp to healers makes him "better" at slugging, is that even gonna be good enough? Is he ever gonna be in that position? He's still an M1 killer with a smidge of anti-loop.

But I'm with OP here. If he's simply not good enough, nerf or no, whatever. We're used to it. The fact we're even having this ridiculous discussion, AGAIN for a different killer, I think is the reason why this game's days are numbered.
