I hate playing against him, he is fun to play though.

If the old Legion was your definition of fun... Jesus, where do I begin? He was just an unavoidable M1 machine that couldn't kill anyone (with a brain) unless he had one very specific and very over powered loadout (Frank's Mixtape & Stab Wounds Study). The idiot test in this case, if you were curious, is if you were/are the type of survivor to heal against a Legion or Plague.

The rework of Freddy gives us a "better" Freddy who is still about on par with Doctor, a C-tier killer. All he has now is a choice between an objectively worse Clown bottle and an arguably worse fake Doctor pallet. (I say this is arguable because the pallet is all Freddy has to help him in a chase and it takes up an entire add-on slot just to use, whereas the Doctor's pallets are just a side perk for his power. Luring a survivor into a deadzone is all a fake pallet needs to do anyways to confirm a kill.)

Freddy's teleport is just an objectively worse version of every movement speed ability in the game because it will usually just make the chase harder. Teleporting to the generator gives survivors five seconds to run away in whichever direction they want, making the chase itself harder to end. If you took M&A and just walked up on a survivor, they would be easier to zone into a dead zone and the chase's starting distance would be shorter. Gen protecting is a pointless argument. Gen protecting only lengthens the game slightly without getting you any kills; you're almost always better off just taking the first chase to present itself. On top of that, the teleport's cooldown is so long that it would be easy to finish a gen by the time that the ability comes back. Mind games are also a moot point when you keep SWF in mind. If you hook someone and go to fake a teleport now that you're free, they're going to tell their team, and the survivors are going to ignore you. At best you waste maybe four seconds of their time.

Then they butchered the dream state. There is now a THIRD way to wake up, making it easier than ever. The hilarity of this poor decision is that the dream state is now also pointless. It no longer reveals or slows down action speeds. All it does is decrease the ridiculously long cooldown on Freddy's teleport per survivor that's slept. The only add-ons that give it an actual gimmick are pretty weak despite their high rarity, such as pill bottle. It could probably be a passive, and it would still be fine.

Worst of all, the Devs didn't give Freddy the add-ons that he needs. Specifically, he doesn't have anything to increase his traps slows to actually make them do anything useful, doesn't have anything to increase the max number of Dream pallets, and doesn't have anything to decrease the time it takes to travel to a gen.

This iteration of Freddy is just an objectively worse version of other Killer options and offers nothing unique anymore.

You are entitled to your own opinion as I am entitled to mine. I think both versions of Freddy are too weak to play competitively in higher ranks; however, the old Freddy at least had a power solely unique to himself with distinctive builds to complement it. (Pill Bottle & Paint Brush or Class Photo builds)

I'm tired of seeing nothing but Hillbilly, Spirit, and Nurse at higher ranks. I would gladly welcome another A-tier or high B-tier killer if it meant I had something new to play against. To myself and many others, that would make the game more fun.

Well the point on my message was that he was able to hit me in dream world and in real world... So what is the purpose being awaken.. Tell me..? Absolutely nothing.. That glitch needs to fix immeately..

Well I said A or high B tier killer. I'd be fine with something more on par with what Huntress and Hag offer. I just want a killer that can live up to the name.

Personal rant: Normally I'm the type of person to meme around in games and play for fun rather than play to win; however, DbD is oddly different. I think it's because, if I'm joking around, survivors just gen rush and the game is over in like 3-4 minutes. It just makes it so there isn't really a game for me to play as it is too short. Anyways, this is still a "competitive" game, so game balance shouldn't be excused. It's just going to piss off the community and be poor for the game's health.

He is fun to play BUT he is too OP. I agree he needed buffed but as usual devs failed on balance. Its like they don't even consider balancing things out when they do things. OH this looks good lets try this. im still /facepalming on this among other things I wont list here.
