Devs..you need to hold back the killer sledgehammer
Announcement of freddy changes has been made..and yet I think its a terrible decision to be making..despite his kill rating nobody worth their salt as a killer views him as top of the pyramid, the issue we find ourselves in a situation i worried was coming..the severe lack of competent matchmaking has created a mix of players at all levels , this hereby resulting in teams of random survivors being handicapped by less experience players, combine that with the killers emblem system requiring more effort to keep up, so even when the matches are all red ranks there are many that don't belong there seeping into them on the survibor end..last time we had stats the difference between ranks 2 and one was over 10 percent difference in kill rate even with this bad system
This all pools into creating unreliable stats and in game experience which is only going to inflate the bad experiences of higher tier killer players beyond what they already can be Because the game isn't properly equipped to handle teams with intimate game knowledge and skill..I forsee this freddy change heading to disaster and when they finally get real numbers for higher levels of play it'll result in a bigger backlog if they overlap freddy as im very worried they will..I think they need to wait and focus on the games low points rather than shoot themselves in the foot

Freddy kind of needs either a revert or another rework. Old Freddy was fun but weak, New Freddy is strong but boring. What could BHVR do to find the in-between?
To be fair the leatherface update coincided with hillbillys..odd changes..clown demo and wraith I look foreward to however
Freddy's killrate is high because, as is blatant from the structure of the killrate statistics, the ease of playing a killer is FAR more important than how strong the killer is. That's why Nurse/Blight/Huntress/Demo are well below their level, why Clown is above all of those, why Pig/Bubba are high up, why Freddy is easily no.1 as he's by far the easiest to play.
Ease Of play does not coronation to power
Ease of play is blatantly more important than power when it comes to killrate though. Most people who play dbd are not good at the game
Thats not even remotely true, granted there are plenty of lacking players but they improve..its folly to balance around players that won't always be that poor
Keep hope alive.
Pubs are easy enough to have escape/killrate of more than 90% if you're fairly decent. Most players are awful, just how it is.I don't think the top players should be balanced around, as I think the game is survivor sided at the top level but this not the case in public matches which I'd say are pretty well balanced, but it's absolutely inarguable that statistics like killrate are indicative of a killer's strength, and funnily enough most killers I'd describe as difficult (such as Nurse, Blight, Demo, Huntress) who are really good when used by a good player but poor when used by an average player, fall below the likes of Clown, Myers, Pig, weaker killers in need of buffs. I mean the easiest killer in the game is #1 too, even though he is definitely not the best, I don't really have more to say because atleast to me the patterns are very obvious.
You can't trust kill rates as their are no boundaries to keep them meaningful
The people who think it’s a bad judgement are the boosted forever Freddy mains who can’t end a chase quick enough and need to make the game go for more than 30 minutes.
Try getting good at a killer that requires actual mechanical skill to play.
You Freddy mains are the equivalent of Moira in ovetwatch.
Freddy basekit is strong, mobility, slowdown, snares destroy loops and pallets are fun but not effective.
Game needs balance guys, chill.
I dint get why all the killer stuff has to be "engaging" survivor items and objectives arent "engaging" looping isnt engaging it is tedious because the killer has 0 control in how the chase goes. I think Survivors need to be forced to engage motr
lets face it only noobs use him
Yet he's not overpowered, even mclean said he didn't feel competitively freddy was overtuened, which means he's getting hit for the same reason as his first version..noob crushing
Queue times are already kinda long for survivor. Eventually their killer changes and weakening of perks will catch up to them. I hope that mid-chapter patch includes improving those perks they wanted to improve, i think they were iron maiden, blood echo, fixated, lucky break and fixing dead hard. maybe they need improve more killer perks or something to get people playing more killer. Freddy changes are huge waste of development time and resources.
Not a Freddy main, at all. Be pressed though. If you're a good survivor, you can avoid the m1.
None of what you said makes your opinion any more or less correct than mine.
Yet, slowdown is a great mechanic for killers...because it stops gens from popping fast. This just sounds like someone saying they're mad that they can't rush to pop the gens and actually have to have a plan of attack to balance the sleep mechanic with doing gens.
Plan of attack? How do you plan of attack when ur only objective is to do gens? There's no balancing the sleep mechanic either way you're going to waste huge amounts of time whether you try to push gens or wake up, there's no decent option for survivors.
Slowdown is not good for killers when they get it for free, it's just ridiculous. And especially these days where chases often end within seconds if the killer is any decent. Once again this is not 2016 dbd, if you're struggling to keep gens undercontrol without insane passive slowdown then that's a problem for you.
I think they need to just rework how he functions somewhat..Like bring back his old dream demon skill But, let him keep his other skills as well...So, he has to put you to sleep..But, when he does..you are basically #########.
It,would bring back the mind games but also,give him a weakness which can also work in his favor. Imagine people repairing a gen and not knowing you are going that way cause they are awake.
That Mechanic was again and would kill him..hard pass for me
Freddy doesn't have passive slowdown without addons unless you give it to him, thats on you
Yes he does because you need to wake up otherwise he has almost instantaneous teleporting and can spam snares on you.
Also almost every Freddy runs jump rope swing chains.
The teleport doesn't require you to be asleep and snare spamming doesn't work vs good players..next
Just get out of here with your toxic bs, you broken record.
Some people don't draw logic into what they say, don't stoop to his level
It's just annoying seeing this amount of bad players. Like if you can't counter Freddy - then how do you honestly expect to counter any good Killer with a power that doesn't just make them a m1 killer with simple counters. Freddy has 2 counters, and that's too much for these people, and these are the people BHVR is listening to. Ayeaaa this game is seirously going to just be a repeated version of Deathgarden, because of these idiots.
Actually,survivors have quite a high skill ceiling,which is why it's so rare to face good survivor.
Best we can do is be constructive and logical and give real feedback
I think that's giving g a little too much credit , I thi k its more of a bad ranking system and some survivors not being used to needing to strategize
Being asleep means you're gonna be affected by his snares/pallets and a reduced cooldown on freddys teleport.
Faster teleport = more potential map pressure
And how do snares not work against good players?You always force an early pallet drop or free hit as soon as they are asleep.There's no real way play to around his snares once you're asleep
Just like clown, drop the pallet and keep forcing kicks..I figured it'd be obvious as clown is bottom tier for the same reason..difference is freddy doesn't waste as much time
if you don't want him having pretty much unlimited tp u need to wake up. And snares are still extremely strong against the best players. That's like saying clowns bottles do nothing at loops, it's nonsense.
Clowns Bottles only help if the loop is unsafe, same with the snares..and his tp is far from inginite..thats just plain ignorant
Right well there's your problem, you clearly aren't playing clown or freddy's snares right.
I can play both better than most people..and I've faced enough to know that obvious fact
Then how are you not getting hits at safe loops with these powers? A little mindgame or fake whilst they are gassed and it's a free hit at almost any loop.
Your not getting it..if the loop is safe, then the slows are useless..because they don't affect pallet sliding..so every safe pallet is a shield against their powers
So ur saying they are useless when they are pulled down? JUST BREAK THE PALLET.
There's so few limited amounts of pallets these days that if survivors just pull every pallet instantly they will be left with nothing.
And why are you trying to bloodlust pallets?
Ok..you arnt reading..I see no point in attempting to educate further
You said pallet sliding which is only possible when the pallet is pulled right?
All these killer nerfs and nothing really worth nerfing them for.... Freddy's nerf is unwarranted.
Thats why proper matchmaking is do important
Nah its a forum
forums are for people to express their opinions right or wrong
try to debate my opinion next time instead of calling it toxic bs
you know maturely? With like counter arguments, l would rather apparently sound toxic compared to sounding like a child.
