Does Freddy Need More Than A Buff?

Freddy is easily the most underpowered killer in the game but he's also one of the most boring, in my opinion. He literally relies on his ability to function like a normal killer. I personally think that he needs more to his ability to make him different from the other killers. Maybe they could implement something else from his movies, something that allowed him to mess with survivors more in the dream state, because right now, he doesn't really stand out from the other killers.

    Though, he might be good with this buff too. Survivours will no longer be able to heal their teammate you've just downed, Selfcare won't let them wake up, so they'll need to run somewhere to wake up and they won't be able to wake up in the endgame by something anything other than being hooked or finding awake teammate. Paired with less skillcheck addons he'll be really strong.

    1.) He literally relies on his core ability to function like a normal killer and it can be completely countered by one perk (self care) Not only that, but it takes seven seconds to fall asleep when he uses his abiilty on you, giving you all the opportunity in the world to find a pallet. He also has nothing to help him in the chase whatsoever so he falls victim to pallet looping and genrushing, even with his ability. Compared to every other killer, he's the worst by far.

    2.) That part, as I stated, is my opinion, not fact.

    If you're losing to Freddy so much that you think he's balanced, maybe you need to git gud.

    I heard that they're buffing him at some point, but are any of these changes confirmed or are they just ideas for now? They sound like solid changes, but I don't think they're guaranteed.

    A rework would be nice, but they can't change him much after digging themselves into this pit. It'd be nice if they just reversed his first nerfs and gave him QOL fixes like picking up downed survivors who are being healed.

    Try watching latest Q&A video? You know, it were 40 minutes of balance changes including Freddy.

    Freedy needs more than a buff for sure.

    To start with:

    1.A reduced base time to put to sleep survivors. The actual one is way to long.
    2.Less foggy vision, it's too intense.
    3.Wake up only with gen explotion or a teammate help, no selfcare.
    4.Downed survivors can only be healed by other survivors in the dream state.

    With this changes he will be more decent and playable.

    I don't want to be that guy but the incoming "buff" for Freddy is fine enough for me. As a long time Freddy main I say that we see how the buff changes Freddy along with the incoming changes to the list of perks and we go from there.
