Will Freddy be Nerf in the future?
According to the development team, Freddy has the highest execution rate.
Development teams tend to nerve strong killer. (Nurse, Spirit decided by Nerf, etc.)
My guess is that the development team is thinking about Freddy's nerf.
How about that?

Well he just got a slight change in the latest hotfix... with dropping traps now effecting his bloodlust.. minor but we will see

Probably, there will always be something to complain about and after Spirit is nerfed they will move onto something else. It would be stranger to assume complaints about killers would stop with Spirit.
My guess would be that should people start complaining about Freddy it would be his "Forever Freddy" build or that he has no slowdown/downside in placing his traps.

I have noticed this. They prefer to nerf good killers for "overperforming" and leave alone weaker killers. Nurse gets nerfed. Spirit is inevitably next. The new one at the top is next. With the logic being used eventually Clown will be the best killer in his current state, resulting in a nerf.

Yup, once other killers are nerfed, he is 100% next. People would rather cry than learn.

Safe answer, yes.

That's cute. Since when is just fine good enough for the Devs?

Meh, the only thing I didn't like was how he could get bloodlust while trapping the holy hell out of every loop.

If Freddy gets nerfed and gutted again I will just stop playing this game.
Honestly, let some killers be viable for the sake of being viable. Allow them to have high kill rates if that killer also has to work for that high kill rate.
I've consistently 4ked as Freddy even at Red Ranks and I know I worked for that 4k. I didn't get it by cheap with playing killers like Nurse or Spirit who can end chases before it even starts. He is powerful but you have to work for that power. You don't just immediately win.
If he has the highest killl rate, then I am proud of him. People are using him as effectively as they could with his base kit.
I will say however, that I do agree there are some builds that makes Freddy an absolute Nightmare of a killer. Stuff like the Forever Freddy build can be seen as broken, but in my opinion the end result still lies with the player.
If they suck at playing Freddy, then they suck at Forever Freddy. Forever Freddy is just a "Win More" build in my opinion. It sucks but if you're already crushing the survivor team with Forever Freddy you would normally crush them with just regular basekit Freddy. At least in my opinion.

Expect anything from survivors.
I've said it many times, they want us to help them finish gens and then escort them to the exit gates
Killers are not supposed to kill but only help survivors

Don't fall asleep
Be immersed
Gen rush
Ok, so don't fall asleep, so basically fail skill checks and/or rely on potato survivors to wake you up if you do fall asleep. Brilliant advice!
Be immersed is just general advice for any killer, not ready specific
Gen rush! Yes, while failing skill checks to keep awake, dealing with ruin and teddy popping in via gen teleport to say hi. Again, gear advice!
Shut the ######### up

Can we not talk about nerfs and rather talk about buffs for those who need them?

Honestly if they nerf Freddy (a killer that is perfectly balanced rn) then I'm gonna loose all faith in the devs. He spent almost two years as the "worst killer in the game". He doesn't need another hard nerf after suffering with that

Survivors only need to review bomb and DC anytime they have Freddy in a game and he will be nerfed. Don't worry if you DC.. as long as it isn't excessive you won't get busted. <--- this is sarcasm forum mods.
See: Nurse and now Spirit.

I agree except up until that last part. The longer a game goes on, the more room the killer has for mistakes. This means that worse killers will get more kills the longer a game goes on. And considering the overall effectiveness of Freddy in general, I don't think he needs to be able to slow games down to a crawl.

Freddy getting nerfed again?
I hope not he is good now!

If they continue to nerf strong killers before they buff weak ones, I will abandon this game.

It's possible. But I would hope not. New Freddy is fine. He's reasonably strong. But still beatable. I personally enjoy facing New Freddy.
It can be tedious playing against Forever Freddy. But hardly nerf worthy. If they can change Spirit to have more reliable counters while retaining her overall strength that would be great. To me, if they can manage that there's no killer left that warrants complaints. Except maybe Plague. She's just annoying.
