How does the oblivious status effect affects Freddy?
In the update, they made that every survivor on the dream state have the oblivious effect on them, but how does this affects them? There isn't a terror radius to hide as Freddy has his lullaby, and it doesnt make any other thing like the red stain disappear.
The only thing that I can think of is not being able to use certain TR perks, but why would they "nerf" Freddy?
Is there any positive thing in this change from the killer perspective?

Yes. The biggest thing is that Freddy counters Borrowed Time. If he hits a survivor who just got unhooked in front of him, that survivor is put asleep and the deep wound timer will go down even if Freddy is chasing him/her. Also, if Freddy hits the survivor attempting to perform the unhook, if that survivor had borrowed time then it won't trigger in the first place. There are a couple of other perks that are effected like Stake Out and Diversion and Object of Obsession.
Oblivious prevents borrowed time from activating thus making Freddy a strong camper. Though, if someone has OoO your aura will always be able to be revealed by them as long as they are asleep.
Long story short, he counters borrowed time and survivors are sad that a meta perk got a nerfed. boo hoo
