Finally, I stopped playing Freddy for years for how boring he is ever since his first rework, even after his nerfs. Now he seems pretty fun, you can now do so many cool stuff with him.
From what I've seen of him, I put him in the same place as I put Sadako. Upper C tier, lower B if you take the time to really figure out how to use him. As someone who mained Freddy back before his first rework, I'm looking forward to playing him again.
Didn't care much for Sharp Hand Joe.
I'm afraid of how optimally he will play considering how fast his power recharges while slugging. honestly clocks just shouldn't have a cooldown. imo high C tier first impressions and could be high b tier or even Oni level depending on the flow of his slugging potential
Absolutely love the changes, only thing is I think dream pallets need a little bit more love. Don't think they should be able to stun you, there shouldnt be the visual distinction as fooling survivors with them was kinda the point before, and the blast radius should be a little bit bigger but other than that amazing changes!
He has a lot of snowball potential, which i love. But more importantly, his addons can create diverse ways to play him (from focusing on the different aspects of his power).
Seeing Freddy be GOOD in the modern DBD environment is so rad.
Freddy is A tier cause I can blow survivors up with my mind
I think all freddy needs now is more utility with his pallets (just get rid of throwing down a rupturing pallet) this vid was greatt ty for uploading
Hopefully no nerfs.
Me happy Freddy main
i think ppl being scared of wake up aren’t killers necessarily but survivors scared their teamates will play a selfish play style which is fair
We live in a world where Freedy has now more features than Chucky lol.
Fun, but disappointing, he’s the most unauthentic license in this game, a shock wave that slows you and exploding wood doesn’t scream Elm street at all.
I'm just scared of the potential where teleporting to a healing player will invite tunneling amd slugging
Hey look its me!
I think Freddy from watching you play (i hate ptb queue times…) and from playing against him, is like you said, High C, low B if youre performing at peak. He felt really difficult to play against, but thats a combination of his power being new and me kinda sucking at surv haha. I think this patch (aside from the “bug fixes) was done really well, and gave freddy a really really cool power and addon list. But yeah…. labor of love guys
Honestly, I just wished that they actually fixed the issues instead of just buffing him.
He's still a noob stomper and terrible against good survivors.
And he's not even any lore accurate
as someone who uses Wake Up, i'm loving the buff it's getting. though i've done what i'd say is 50/50 on SWF's vs Solo Q's. i've never really paired it up with Sole Survivor, cause i can think of other ideas for perks to fill that spot honestly
its pretty strange how split people seem on this new Freddy lol
It's a good change, the whole idea is it's okay to have mediocre killers. The point is he was beyond "not viable" for a hot minute. So it's nice to see him get lifted up a bit.
My problems with this rework are
1. Awake survivors can see dream powers. It’s just not thematic, and the dream powers only function to put you asleep so why do awake survivors need to see it when they can see him charge it up anyway?
2. Dream pallets lost their whole purpose of being a deception tool. I wish they’d focus more on making them about deception and less on making them about injury
3. The teleporting to healing survivors should only work if the survivor being healed is asleep
4. I think the loss of the ability to cancel a teleport makes him very clunky, especially when you’re trying to switch powers but accidentally teleport instead. Maybe make it so you can cancel gen teleports but not healing teleports
I think if they hide dream pallets from survivors id be happy.
He’s high C+ at maximum that’s it
He’s rework is a success HOWEVER
The pallets are useless and need a change now (and in most cases help survivor more), don’t know why they made the snare hinder lower (was 15% now 12%) saying now it’s impossible to stack the snares
The healing tp is gonna be a new player stomp meaning newer player / weaker are gonna complain which is what got him nerf to begin with and I have a feel this will happen again, people won’t learn to get out of the dream world BEFORE healing and just complain they can’t heal which gets other parts of his kit nerfed
spirit husk bug is fixed if you buy the 15$ tomie skin
Why would i use my power to put someone to sleep with a power that has a 5 second cooldown when i could just hit someone to get them into the dream world instead? Dream snares are on a 5 second cooldown now as well, teleport cooldown can't be reduced like old Freddy currently by keeping survivors in the dreamworld by slugging them since they wake up if you down them, teleport can't be canceled at all, Dream pallets are visible to survivors now, erupt is extremely hard to get a hit with since it has a 1,5 second delay, Freddy can be stunned by his own dream pallets, Clown has a better hindered effect (15%) against Freddy's 12 % with a 5 second cooldown (how is that a buff?), any alarm clock can be used by a survivor now, the wake up interaction is always 5 seconds, Black Box is not going to work since when you down survivors now it wakes them up, Red Paint Brush makes it take longer for survivors to fall asleep. Where are the buffs here? Except the ability to teleport to healing survivors but why would you heal in the dreamworld to begin with? What are the buffs he got, i genuinely wanna know.
