I think he feels 100% better than what he used to be no doubt about that but there’s still a few changes I’d liked to add to him to fill in those gaps that are currently missing.

The Nightmare:

[CHANGE] Dream snares now travel at 13 m/s (was 12).

[CHANGE] Pallet rupture activation window is reduced to 1.2 seconds (was 1.5).

[CHANGE] Increased detection range after dream projection to 12 meters (was 8) and increased killer instinct duration to 5 seconds (was 3 seconds).

[REMOVED] Survivors no longer gain sleep immunity after using an alarm clock and instead increase their sleep meter by 30%. (Basically just making their sleep timer 90 seconds after using a clock but Freddy can still m1 you to put you into the dream world and can still use snares and pallets to make you fall asleep sooner).

[NEW] The nightmare can now project to exit gate switches without the need of the class photo addon.

[NEW] Alarm clocks within 24 meters of the survivor when they fall asleep are not available for 30 seconds.

[NEW] Survivors splatter blood out of their stomachs when the nightmare is channeling dream projection on them to give them better warning when projection is happening.

Notes: Dream snares can be powerful but can be dodged a little too easy so I increased their speed slightly. The pallet rupture is clunky and gives survivors a little too much time to get out of the radius so I slightly reduced the activation window to allow more rupture hits. The detection range and killer instinct duration was underwhelming so I increased the numbers slightly for both to make it feel better and actually detect survivors since the tp is 2.5 seconds and that gives survivors a total of 10 meters they can run by pre running so it almost would never detect survivors at 8 meter range. Sleep immunity has been a hot topic and seems unnecessary and overbearing with how easy it is to exit and enter dream world now so instead of removing the concept I simply added 30 seconds to the sleep meter so that alarm clocks still have value. Teleporting to the exit gate switches without the need of the addon would be better imo since the tp cd is already 30 seconds and exit gate opening time is 20 seconds meaning Freddy can’t hold gates forever with the tp and gives survivors a fair chance in the 1v1. When survivors fall asleep there is nothing stopping them from going to a clock 3 meters away and removing them from the dream world for a maximum of 90 seconds, To combat that and allow more interaction I made it so survivors would have to find a clock further than 24 meters from them when the fall asleep for only 30 seconds so they can’t farm alarm clocks and prevent falling asleep over and over again. Lastly I made survivors a little more aware when Freddy is teleporting to them healing because it doesn’t give as much info as generators do when he tp’s.

Addon changes:

Red Paint Brush: Decreased extra sleep meter on survivors to 30% (was 50).

Class Photo: All generators spew blood when performing a dream projection to a generator. Cancelling a projection no longer incurs the full cooldown and instead only puts it on a 15 second cooldown.

These are my suggestions for Freddy after playing him today. Feel free to let me know your thoughts on these changes and if you have any changes youd want to see happen.
