Please Don't Rework Freddy
He's brilliant the way he is now.
I like the aura reading, and with the new Ghostface perk Furtive Chase this ability gives him a huge advantage during chases.
I understand why some players want to do away with the 7 second wait, but please keep the aura reading.

I understand how you feel, and I feel great for you, but the vast majority of us would prefer Freddy to have a stronger map presence more than anything. I do agree though, I love the Play with your food and Furtive Chase combo. Why PWYF? PWYF makes loops easier for the guy since you're faster. Leaving and chasing your obsession should be decisive, and you may or may not go for them.
Freddy, in my opinion, greatly benefits from perks that give the "exposed" status, like make your choice, etc..

Too late... mid chapter we're getting a new improved freddy 💪😁

His aura reading is cheesey and a lazy power that never should have made it into the game to begin with. They're going to give him mobility and ways to slow down survivors and end chases sooner. That's a good trade IMO.

I love the old Freddy too. But don't take me seriously, I'm a Freddy's fanboy, I would play as him even if his power becomes "Heals survivors"

Way too late for this :P

Noobs who can't mind game want the "muh 7 seconds fedora man bad" gone.
Here's a dream transition guide for those who are interested: https://youtu.be/0rTtr7pUe-Q

I completely agree. Current Freddy is a ton of fun, and is currently the only reason to ever use Furtive Chase. This rework is going to be a slap in the face of people that liked his playstyle, and is going to solidify Furtive Chase being about as meta and gamebreaking as the likes of Mad Grit and Overwhelming Presence.
I get that you're excited for the rework, but let's not pretend that he's going to have anything besides the telegraphed Generator Teleport. If you get to use your traps it's because you're either versing potatoes that think that Killers are OP because they can click M1, or you've chased the person for so long the game's giving you a pity power. Unless they do some major reworking to the rework, that 60 second sleep timer is already getting the shovel to dig the rework's grave, and Entity have mercy if his slow is as meh as Clown's at base.
On the note of the Aura Reading, it gives Freddy a ton of fun setups and ways to 20,000 IQ Survivors + you have to be asleep for it. I have less issues with Freddy's Aura Reading than I do Legion's Killer Instinct. Also, this is pretty much the only reason to actually run Furtive Chase for literally any reason outside of Adept Ghostface or (maybe) some Make Your Choice cheese.
Honestly next Mid-Chapter will actually drop Freddy from my rotation, he's becoming some poor Hag/Clown hybrid rather than retaining his current role as dedicated stall with potent tracking. I guess if I want to actually impact Gen Speeds without relying on Ruin I'll have to run more Impossible Skillchecks Doc until they inevitably remove it for another Le Ebin Top Tier clone like they're doing to Freddy.

bruh

I'm terrified this rework is going to be a killer that's worse than even Plague.
At least with Freddy, once you learn his mechanics, you can do very well due to his high skill ceiling.

Oi, don't crap on Mad Grit. It's great in a bumper car build. It's got great meme potential, which is better than I can say about most other useless perks.
If we can get one more perk that does something good while carrying a survivor, it might become quite good.
(Play With Your Food + Agitation + Iron Grip + Mad Grit = Bumper Car Build)

It's actually quite fun to play.

Freddy just needed to be tweaked, not completely reworked. Be nice if they kept the old Freddy while also having the new one... but they won't.

Freddy deserves better. I mean the Doctor can do more to survivors than Freddy. When they are asleep he should have the upper hand, not just get looped.

A good idea would be to allow him to equip 2 different powers, the old power, and the rework. Those who prefer old freddy can still play him, those who want the new freddy can play him.

I'd love that, but probably won't happen.

That would be amazing, but it'd probably make handling add-ons a Nightmare (pun intended). I wish this was a viable solution though.

I have no idea why everyone thinks Plague is so bad. If you have a proper balance between Vile Purge and M1 and, then use Corrupt Purge without going way out of your way for it (when there are only a couple generators left), Plague is actually a pretty decent killer. I have had nothing but fun experiences playing as or against the Plague.

Hell no, Freddy sucks as is. So much of this game is stealth and he just breaks it. You can't hide, you cant run, instead you have to loop and troll. The new stuff looks much better.

Man I'm watching this a year and a half after Freddy's release.
If only...
All that time...
Damn.
