wow they turned freddy to ######### C tier now.
No point in playing freddy anymore since now we won't be able to compete against SWF

More B tier but this is pretty harsh. Moving 100% does hurt his chase quite a lot
Good lmao
Good. No Killer should be that brain dead easy and that successful.
Next.
What will you do when all killers are B tier at best?
They doubtfully will mess with slinger cause
This is a good change. Freddy just spamming snares around a loop like Clown and still having 20 other powers at his disposal was dumb.
Spirit and Nurse still exist if you want to fight and beat the strongest set of survivors, you just actually have to think and dedicate learning them instead of just shutting your brain off with Freddy.
Good.
Really the only nerf that they really needed to give him was reducing his lunge range, it's ridiculous. Freddy Krueger, the man with the mile-long lunge.
WHAT ABOUT NURSE TOO!
She does need a nerf though
Have you tried playing as Nurse since her rework nearly 2 years ago? Half the time your blinks dont even work.
He needed a slow down when using Snares though.
But (no matter how much I hate playing against him) I feel they may have hit him a little too hard.
You realize how many people write joke to get out of being called out on their ######### by pretending they didn't actually mean it?
Totally agreed but 100% seems too much. Maybe 105 or even 110?
swing chains and jump rope are now 100% useless
That's what I was think too.
Leaning more towards 105% but 110% would have been fine. Especially with all these other nerfs.
The changes aren't really that big of a deal. Snares are just as effective as before, they just require more skill to use correctly at loops. The only thing is that while it does make Freddy take a bit more skill to use, he's still nowhere near the skill level of other killers.
Freddy is more hurt by the BT change honestly as it means he can't guarantee free downs at unhooks.
Good.
It's hard to tell how much of a detriment to his chasing ability this will be until the PTB drops, but I do admit that this might have been a tad too much.
Even more reason to rework her. Clearly the devs can’t fix her bugs so why not make a new power instead?
Hag and Trapper have to stop and set their trap while Clown has to aim and has limited ammo count. Freddy needs a kick in the groin cause his traps were as thoughtless as his entire kit. He's not as easy as Wraith or Bubba, but his reward for how easy he is to play was so lop sided it'd make your head tilt.
I dunno, the add-on changes are pretty rough.
And the alarm clock changes. oof.
I don't mind though. I loathe playing against him so its not a huge deal to me.
but why remove swing chains and jumprope?
C tier? LOL. He is still ridiclous with certain builds, hes just more balanced now when not running such builds.
they simply made it so you no longer have slowdown Add Ons (great change) and that he cant just keep spamming snares around a loop to catch a survivor (or at least they reduced its effectiveness).
both are definitely good changed imo.
And no survivor perks should be that braindead and successful either
E to outplay?
Freddy's addons were already pretty garbage before the changes. The action speed actions were one of his best addons, but they weren't even that good since their values were gutted. Sure you could combine it with Thana and Sloppy and add some extra time to those actions, but most of the work was being done by Thana and Sloppy.
I hate this nerf because it didn't fix what was wrong with Freddy. The problem was never that Freddy was strong, it was that he was strong and boring.
Instead of making his power more skillful and fun to interact with for both sides, they nerfed him into being a bland mid tier killer.
Not to mention they didn't give us a way to play as Old Freddy.
Her power is fine. Survivors just want to use the same trick to counter every single killer. Pallet looping. Her bugs need fixing but the devs won't do that because that will increase the number of nurse players. Survivors will ######### then they will have to find ways to balance her. Which they cant. They CAN fix her bugs. They just dont want too.
Because every survivor wants to spend 100+ seconds fixing a single generator, only to have braindead Freddy teleport and pop the generator.
i think most of what they did is fine. I play freddy some and i never ran his slowdown add ons because you can 4k without them it just drags the game out longer. The change to his anti loop is fine, if you are using them effectively you place maybe two. Most of the time just faking a snare causes the survivor to leave the loop. i like the add on to the alarm clock that gives survivors a way to block sleep for a little bit before unhooking. I do agree losing BT is crucial in some games ive played. Other than that good job BHVR i think this will work just fine.
Yeah but they made them useless. Again though, I don't really care. lol
Swing Chains at max gave 8% action reduction to all survivors and with the green rope it's 11% action speed. It's very minor slowdown even if you keep all survivors in the dream world. Not to mention the first minute of the match still happens without any slowdown.

Doesn't really affect me since I never used his blood pools anyway. Dream pallets all day.
Thank god I got his adept achievement
If the devs can’t find a way to balance her power that power isn’t a good concept
Braindead easy killer, definitely needed a change.
number of pallets got nerfed too.
Meanwhile doctor has passive fake pallets
They cant balance swf but that's still here :P
I would've been fine with everything else, but slowing down to use your power FEELS BAD. Freddy not slowing to lay traps was the hope that other guys, like Plague or Executioner might some day be able to use their powers at normal speed. With that being nerfed, those hopes are gone forever. Feels bad.
Difference is nurse has already been changed before
I just wanted them to follow through with what they originally said and make him take more skill to play, instead it's just a basic ######### nerf like they always do. Freddy was always mediocre vs good survivors now he might actually be weaker than clown with these changes. As someone who hated how easy Freddy was to score kills with I think these changes are terrible. He is still brain dead easy to play only now he is just weak af. Also seriously nerfing PALLET Freddy, why, just why?
Changing a killer power is completely different from changing SWF and comparing the two is kinda dumb
One is a gamemode and one is a power type
His lunge is exactly the same as the rest
They really should nerf Oni by tying his shoe laces together. He shouldn't be able to demon dash that fast really ...
His changes seem pretty fair to me. He is currently far to strong with little to no effort.
