Freddy Buff is NOW! a main priority
It's been 6 month since Freddy got shafted by the Devs but here of a few reasonable buffs or reworks that seem would work and been very popular amongst the community and forums:
Here of the 2 that 100% Must happen in the next patch.
1. No Interactions are allowed during the 7 seconds dream transition Only Pallets And Vaults are ALLOWED!
2. Freddy can pull survivors off any sort of interactions when NOT in dream world ex. Gens, totems, Exit gates, Instant Save Unhook (Only lockers are available to do so at the moment)
What more do you think should happen to freddy? Comment Below.
We need the Devs to see this and mention something in the Q&A stream next week
Freddy and his power should be the strongest in the game his power is iconic and shouldn't be shafted the way it is in DBD. BUFF Freddy

He's never gonna be a top tier killer nor do I think he should be, but he offers a very unique game style, much different from other killers. I relish the diversity of DbD; it would be nice to make him at least somewhat viable.
EDIT: I just found a suggestion which would be sweet too: INCREASE skill check success zones greatly (an effect possibly modifiable with addons). That would be a necessary but not unbalancing change - survivors would still have a chance to wake up on their own, but not "for free".
I've always liked the idea of making it so that the lullaby itself is what pulls you into the dreamworld. So essentially if you're within his terror radius for more than 5 seconds, you get pulled in. They'd then need to do something else for his M2 ability, however.
They said all the buffs he needs is too big for one update :/so it probably isnt happening soon and if it did survivors are just gonna review bomb the game and harass the devs again so well.....it will never happen
yall preaching to the choir'
What would increased skill check success zones change? Survivors spam space in order to wake up.
Just because you say so.
That is actually one of the purposes of sprint burst lmao. Also, how many times have we seen survivors from movies escaping at the very last second? What you said is something that you totally made up.
I think that number 2 should be available only during the transition period. Meaning that Freddie at least has to start the sleep process before he can grab someone. No sneak around the corner invisible and just pull off. It only changes things by an few moments but it gives the survivor the chance to move.
Self-care or any healing should not be able to wake up a survivor. That should be kept to Gen popping and having a teammate wake you up. That would help a ton.
As someone has said before, in Freddy's movies survivors were able to wake up by injuring themselves. Since failing a skill check "injures" you, that makes sense.
lol stop being so offended and what i didnt make up is that its not happening survivors wont allow for a buff for freddy that will get him out of low tier deal with it. Survivors control the matches and what happens to the game something i have come to accept.
This sounds like a fantastic ultra rare add on forget the black box trash this is a good idea. But lets go a step further make it so survivors fall asleep every minute or whatever time frame sounds more balanced.
Lullaby tr= a Survivor entering his Terror radius would slowly come under the effects of sleep. The closer a Survivor gets to the killer the faster drowsiness would set in. Hence a Survivor on the Outer Edge would take longer than someone who is face-to-face with the killer.
As for Freddy's nightmare power something along the lines but doctors comes to mind. While a Survivor is asleep and hit with the nightmare copper they begin to suffer nightmarish Visions such as false aura: teammates getting downed, people being placed on hooks teammate bar indicating damage to others, false failures on gens.
I think these types of changes would help the killer in the sense that the Survivor is now confused they don't know where is safe to go or if they need to go and provide Aid giving the killer a few more moments to search the map for next victim or catch up the one they're tracking.
As for the Survivor perspective I think no real Edge is lost on their part they're still required to play around the sleep affect as they normally would now just being more mindful of the terror radius. As for the nightmare effect: survivors are not impeded directly only sensory information is confused , forcing the Survivor to decide if the Killer is still chasing or did they break it off and actually go for a teammate.
Personally I feel getting pulled into the Dreamworld isn't punishing enough. Currently Survivors don't care that much about it but it should be a really negative thing. My suggestion would be to make it harder and harder to escape the Dream World the more you are pulled into it. It fits the movie as characters try to prevent sleep and end up having to sleep for longer and longer.
The first and second time you enter the Dream World it stays as it is now.
The third and fourth time other Survivors will not be able to wake you up anymore.
The fifth time you can't be woken up by failed skill checks. You are stuck in his Dreamworld.
Accidental double post, please remove this.
Just an idea though. There might be better ways. I still think the best that could happen to Freddy is a clearer vision.
being the worst killer in the game isn't "fine the way he is"
1 After a survivor is hooked every other survivor is placed instantly on dream state
2 Have a pink add-on where you can't wake up from failed skillchecks or after some time his power gets stronger, for example: 2nd time asleep is harder for skillchecks to appear, 3rd time it takes 12 seconds to be awaken by survivors and 4th time and beyond you cant wake up without a survivor waking you up.
3 while survivors are in the transition of falling asleep they can't interact with pallets or windows
4 buff the numbers on fire up, make it so that blood warden doesnt need a survivor hooked to activate and make remember me be affected by the obssession
5 while he is chasing a survivor (when the survivor is asleep) make bloodlust activate quicker
6 make freddy see asleep survivors at all times
OP? Maybe
Undo his nerfs. :O all of a sudden he's second best killer in the game again.
Except even pre-nerf Freddy was trash.
Obviously you didn't play survivor back then. He was amazing. He had a lot of mindgame potential with that small terror radius and if u messed up on a loop just a tiny bit, he could hit u with that massive lunge. He was awesome. He didnt get nerfed to the ground for no reason you know.
Guys we've found the rank 20 survivor main.
He was never strong to begin with, he is a noob stomper, countering him require to know him.
He was nerfed because the NEW PLAYER (that the free weekend that accompanied freddy release) had no knowledge about him and on how to play the game in the first place, they review bombed the game.
If you look at the review from back then the vast majority of negative review related to freddy where made by people that don't own the game and/or have less than 10 hour of experience
/s
Ohhhhhh that makes sense I was a new player back then lol
this is actually a great idea to have a AOE of sleep around Freddy. I like that!
i will say this
1.- its a good idea
2.- not happening reason its that hes in the dream world and it shouldnt be that way since the survivors cannot see him its a huge favor for him and unfair for survivors
Just make him freddy thats all i want.
If that isn't done well and remains sandman killer gonna expect fedora doctor as compensation and maybe fedora hag. That way i can do freddy things with there powers.
Edit: Also if anyone thinks number changes are only thing coming to freddy please watch dev streams and listen to not queen investigate what there doing with prototype. The work going into it is like the same work for a new killer. Forget about whats on freddy now cause changing numbers only leads to nerf and buff tug o war. We need dynamic changes and simple things ain't gonna cut it. Only time numbers have worked was on hag but that was because fast trap setting should of always been in her kit. Freddy needs to play like freddy first cause you sicken the fans of him. Freddy doesn't play like a toddler killer by chasing only. He messes with you and enjoys himself during the engagement. The fact he can't do that is an insult to his legacy. Micheal is stalking, pig is cheating, Leatherface is going wild and freddy needs to be messing with people. Freddy is trying to make fall asleep in this game. That sounds more like the sandman then freddy.
