New Freddy issue

I don't know if it was yet another hateable Freddy player for me to face or if it genuinely is the new kit. But does this new Freddy now promote tunneling the injured person off hook? Because that's what it seemed like & it sucked. Players gave up by the 2nd gen to pop. There's no point playing like this.

He can only teleport to you if you are healing and asleep. After you are unhooked, you are always awake. Which means only the survivor who unhooked might be in the dream world. But the survivor that just got unhooked simply can wake up the survivor that unhooked and then Freddy can't teleport to the survivors anymore if they choose to heal.
Of course those are 5 seconds of extra time investment, or 7 if Freddy is using a certain addon, but I don't think it should become too much of a problem. I believe there are other killers that are still better at tunneling as well. Tunneling just needs to be adressed in general.
The bigger problem I see is his slugging potential. Unless I overlooked a change to Freddy's ability to teleport to healing survivors, he can still teleport to slugged survivors that are getting healed, which is horrendous game design.

I appreciate the clarification because the updates on this were unclear & I haven't played it myself.
Also though just to add since this post I have just finished yet another Freddy game in which a player quit due to immediately being tunneled. The healing at hook is what's doing it & I hate that it's working especially in this way that as I said is promoting them to tunnel, hence why the player quit. I would too I'll be honest it's not fair, it's not fun.
I really am anti-tunnel I don't feel we should be forced to run certain perks or just "get gud" to play this game. But that's everyone else's stance on it. Despite how miserable the experience is just getting tunneled all the time or having players be tunneled out every game. I agree it really goes need addressing, has done for a while & yet probably never will. It's such a shame, I think I'm done with this game. Thank you & ######### you BHVR, for never addressing this crap.

is waking up the unhooker before getting healed by him too much to ask?.. how is it "get gud"? It's the most basic counterplay

You just have to wake up, which is the easiest thing in the game and you have 3 ways to do it and he can no longer teleport to you.

Oh how terrible. the killer is getting map presence and map pressure. Illegal. Also Mint rag Hag has been Instantly teleportation onto hook survivor for years.
Mint rag Make your choice hag is oldest trick in the book and than there is a vast array of killers like Unknown, Billy, Blight that have impressive map mobility to rush hooks after an unhook. these killers doing that. No issue. Freddy? Damn, he's op /s

Every killer can tunnel, and it's inadequate once you get to a certain level.

In so many scenarios the unhooker doesn't care & either just starts healing anyway or plays the stupid tic tac toe healing wake up game with me before in the end I just have to leave them anyway because Freddy comes back even without the teleport & I wasn't healed because the survivor wouldn't just let that happen. It's still all very annoying none the less.

Healing under hook is a bad habit to begin with;

The potential problem is that Freddy can get map pressure by slugging everyone. Which is insanely unfun to go against. Slugging is already a problem currently, Freddy shouldn't be even stronger at it than most other killers, because slugging shouldn't be encouraged in the first place.
I get it, you never care about the survivor experience. But I for one care about both sides, not just killer.

Maybe everyone should get git gud at looping almost m1 freddy You will spend less time on the floor and hooks.

If you are asleep his anti-loop is pretty strong. And that doesn't change the fact that his slugging potential might be too good.
