Our Golden Age is long gone, mate. The devs ruined everything that was even remotely connected to those good times, and are continuing to do so.

I don't doubt there is chance for a revival of the golden days, but not under the current leadership.

Hold up, no one told me we could mention old characters!

Then Old Billy and on-release Freddy are the correct answers.

Why wouldn't they?

DBD betrayed everything that made it...well, DBD.

Unnecessary changes, terrible decisions and UTTER disregard for the community's opinion ruined this otherwise wonderful game bit by bit. I don't blame people for wanting to leave.

It is, in all honesty, the right thing to do.

Same as my first thought when Billy is the killer:

Though, I suppose that doesn't really matter anymore.

I'd argue that it was in a worse spot post-ruin change and pre-toolbox change, as well as just 2018 and before, but also I can't really say that the game is all that enjoyable at current. SBMM fundamentally fails at judging skill, people have decided that pure efficiency is the way to go, and overall it's just not a good time.
I never thought I'd say this, but I actually miss Bully Squads over Death Squads.

I disagree with that, to be honest.

Excluding the game around it and taking only the balance into account, I would choose things like Old DS and god-tier windows over insane gen rush and Boons without thinking twice.

At least those things I can and know how to deal with.

I just want old freddy back tbh. He was apparently horrible but it seriously looked fun to play.

You are speaking to the right person, then! I've been insisting on his return for the past 2 years.

And he wasn't horrible, to be honest. He had a few weaknesses, granted, but they could have been easily solved. Bring him back with a few QoL change and we have a perfect killer in our hands.

He wasn't that unique. He just had less abilities and he had to put people to sleep first, which is like a built-in counter. Otherwise he was an M1 killer.

Unfortunately for you, the community doesn't see it that way.

They're similar to other killers' powers, but not stolen. What other killer places traps on the ground, that can be used in the immediate chase OR preemptively, that slow? Doctor's fake pallets are there, but do they lock survivors into an animation when they drop them? What killer's teleport let's them do it straight on a gen, and isn't dependent on you placing something there preemptively just to tp there? It's not a "never seen anything like it before" kind of unique kit, but it's different enough to where it definitely doesn't feel the same as other killers'.

Having a mix between pre-existing things is, honestly, just as boring as having a carbon copy of a pre-existing thing. And it is downright insulting to the killer who used to be the most unique in the game, by a very long shot.

He wasn't boring and he was unique before they nerfed him. How can y'all even talk like that? He has so many abilities. That's like calling the new killer boring. She's not. She just won't be strong.

Because we understand Freddy, and that is not what he should be.

Current Freddy's kit is literally take from other killers, from Clown's effect to Doctor's fake pallets. As fun as Dream Projection has the potential to be, we have other killers with teleports already.

Freddy was always made to be unique; the rework ruined this and the following change made it worse.

I was under the impression you didn't like the reworked Freddy to begin with?

And you are correct.

I absolutely despise his current power.

You're 100% right about him being rare. He's the third least picked killer now, behind Twins and Cenobite.
Freddy's in a pretty sorry state, if you ask me. His power is pretty boring and snares feel pretty clunky. He has basically no good or interesting addons to vary his gameplay either.
He needs an addon pass, QoL changes, and most importantly a way to play my beloved Old Freddy again.

We can skip those last two items and go straight back to a power rework, if you ask me. Bringing OG Freddy with buffs and QoL improvements is the best and most desirable course of action right now.

Yes, that would mean sending his current power to oblivion and I would feel sorry for the few remaining New Freddy mains of the Fog, if they are even still around.

But keeping Freddy's current state in the game is causing way more harm than good.

It was the wrong step to take. He was fine as is, and definitely wasn't S tier. If they just buffed other killers, he would eventually have fallen behind a bunch of other killers anyway, in terms of what he could do vs what they could do. But no, the devs had to accelerate that process and nerf an M1 killer into the ground. You don't see him at high MMR. You don't see him at all anymore. Borderline Twins' pick rate.

I don't think he was fine as he was. Leaving him untouched would do nothing to fix the problem of him being boring.

Still, what is done is done. The developers cannot possibly hope to keep him in this sorry state forever. They will be forced to change him eventually, and when they do, I sincerely hope they listen to me.

If that happens, I guarantee Freddy will be viable, fun, and unique again.

The last changes were a death blow and were clearly not minor. Let's summarize. Less snares, slowdown on placing snares, less dream pallets (why?), buffed clocks, and all good add-ons replaced with bad add-ons. He was in a good spot, was laughably placed in S tier, and probably needed some qol changes, but instead he got nerfed because survivors couldn't even handle an M1 killer. They still call him OP, so what was the point in the nerf?

I mean, you can still use him effectively:

But is it worth it? No.

You know me, you know how much it pains me to say this, but being boring is where Freddy's greatest problem lies.

This nerf was not exactly a "death blow", but it was the wrong step to take.

Imo he's very balanced, no changes needed. His blood puddles r fine, just strange to place down

Balanced, yes, but he definitely needs changes.

He is way too boring to remain like that.

He was being over rated to begin with. The last changes made to him were very minor but people took it as a death blow.
I think killer pick rates are influenced by what people are complaining about at the time and just compound until BHVR makes a change.

That isn't why he is barely used nowadays.

Freddy still retains his strength, granted, but he is so damn boring that pursuing his strength is simply not worth it. I should know.

I'm glad killers are presented the option to change their killer and perk loadout after you learn which map you'll be on.

I..kinda always use Brutal Strength though, so it works for me.

You can like it. I'm not arguing that it's a bad map.
I'm just saying it's objectively a very very good map for Survivor.

Fair enough.
