As someone who originally wanted to be a Freddy main (cause I like his movies as corny as they were) I stopped playing him for his perception of power.
I agree that a halfway decent group can trivialize Freddy but my experience playing against him has ruined my want to play as him.
First of all the amount of cheaters and/or suspected cheaters that I have played against have almost exclusively been from someone playing Freddy. Some are obvious like the one who was going through the floor to bypass everything to get to us or phasing through walls somehow. Then there are those that (i forget the term for it) but it has something to do with purposefully causing the game to lag for others to give you an advantage .. someone can correct me if that's a thing, my friend has claimed that one a few times.
Second, and this might be part of the first it feels like the dudes got like a 15 foot reach on his attacks, most Freddy s seem to hit me from like twice the distance of every other killer with just his basic swing and this really throws me off.
I'm sure there is a third or more but the big sum for me is that too many Freddy s I have played against have given off a 'something seems fishy about this killer' vibes that playing as Freddy now makes me feel dirty.

As someone who plays both killer and survivor (though i dont get to play killer as often so im probably a mid teir killer at best)I dont think BBQ is op at all.
As Killer When i first got the perk I was like "oh yeah, more blood points" then when i left it on for the auras I realized a couple of days ago that ive only ever looked for the auras a few times and only saw them like twice. I now take the perk off unless im going for more BP. For me its a useless perk when not BP farming.
As a surviver (like 95% of my gameplay) I either hide in a locker, get closer so my aura doesnt pop up or I dont care if he knows where one of us is, if i know hes going after me i can prepare myself for the chase and if I'm playing even halfway decent then I'm simply making sure that the rest of my team can rescue/complete gens at their leisure.
To put it simply, if you are far enough away for the killer to see your aura, it doesnt last long enough to make a real difference.
For those that are using the argument "but its obv op cause everyone uses it" do you use one of like the same 4 perks just about every survivor uses when not running an incredibly specific build? maybe we should just remove DS, Unbreakable and a few others (or nerf whatever) along with BBQ, maybe that would make you happy then, except then youd complain that your op perk is being nerfed when you should instead work on getting better at the game. that goes for both killers and survivors.
While i do believe that the game is in general stacked for the survivor I dont think that its a game balance issue as much as a player issue. Now I only have about 448 hours in the game and like 400 of it is probably survivor so keep in mind i might not get the killer mindset as well as a killer main might. but i have played a bunch of this game and watched a lot of better people play this game and it seems to me that all these people complaining about the opposing side's perks are people who would rather complain about a perceived problem ( doesnt mean that what they are complaining about isnt a problem but still ) than get better at the game. Those better players I watched, they also complain about some perks but those better survivors are at least complaining about bbq while tea bagging the killer out the exit gate and the better killer is complaining about ds while wiping the blood off the last sacrifice of his blade. I can take those people's opinion on what needs fixed better because they tried to better themselves despite any 'OP' perks the opposing player is using.
To put it simply, the group i run with tends to be rank 1-4 survivors while im usually rank 7-8 (id be higher if I could learn to loop killers once in a while) and not once has the phrase 'the killer only won because he had BBQ' or 'man I wish they'd nerf BBQ so OP' So maybe my group just does better against it i dont know but there are a million perks better for finding survivors that arent BBQ heck you know what finds me 9/10, it isnt bbq its whispers, dont hear me me complaining about that perk.
