Freddy is OP

While there are more powerful killers like hillbilly nurse or spirit freddy stands out because of how little skill required to win and how powerful he is. If you cant play freddy let me some it up if the survivor starts looping you press m2 and set a speed trap. Now dont worry cause this doesnt slow you down at all. Now just loop thiem and force a wasted pallet or them to run and likely get hit. his gameplay is braindead and his gen slowing skill is also probably only second to hillbilly(how actually takes skill) He needs a rework or a major nerf.

Freddy can just do too much, he is super cheap and just not fun to go against ever.
When I see a freddy I give it a shot but they often show themselves as scum so I just die on the hook and move on to a match more worth my time.
But yeah, they messed him up in just about any sense, old freddy was in every way better apart that he needed some tweaks which were suggested by many many MANY players over a long course of time....
Don’t forget trapper and his infinite amount of traps he places all over the map cutting off every single pallet and vault location 😡 or huntress iridescent with infantry equipped so there’s 3 one hit down hatchets per locker refill 😡
I disagree, I personally don't think he is overpowered. I get that he is easier to use than most killers, but you still need the skillset that you need for any killer, so I wouldn't say he takes no skill.
I understand why some people think he is unfun to go against though. Once more maps become more balanced he will need some nerfs though, in my opinion.
Freddy is by no means overpowered,but i do agree that he's very easy to play and get good result as and very very boring to play against just like clown.
Wouldn't mind if they would change something so there's more skill involved on his part,but it's highly unlikely that he's going to receive major changes to his power any time soon anyway because there are way more killers currently that would need some buffs/reworks.
Im so tired of survivors always demanding this insane amount of skill from everything killers do yet all your best requires no skill
I'm not asking for insane skill from every killer.I just find it more fun for both sides when everybody has chances to outplay each other.
And survivor need skill to do good.I'm pretty sure you see the difference between a good and a bad survivor immediatly.
I thought a long time that freddys rework was nice, but after some time playing and vsing him became pretty stale and boring. Additionally i agree that he needs little skill to be played to his full potential, especially in comparison to killers like billy and nurse.
I would love to see a buff to snares and pallets with a slowdown while setting and some change to his dream world. I don't know if oblivious isn't too powerful for a passive effect.
You got a fan right here. Keep it going!
PS: I can apply extreme pressure as Clown on any map. My perks are: Bloodhound, Iron Maiden, Unnerving Presence and Fire Up.
Mechanically Freddy is on the lower end of things, however that's only "half" the battle as a killer. You have naturally less information, but it's what you do with it.
Snares are also NON-LETHAL. They do zero damage, unlike Trapper's traps. They make you scream, yes, and even slow you down. But that's it.
Teleport is also on a rather punishing cooldown, even if you don't completely follow through.
He's strong, but he isn't OP.
Stay out of the dream world and he has no powers.
The only thing I want changed with Freddy is to have an extra clock on the map. It’s such a pain in the butt to run across the entire map to wake up.
Needs a major nerf? Just practice your surviving skill instead. Freddy is one of few killers that is absolutely fine.
A year ago Freddy was the worst killer in Dead by Daylight.
In the present day I still think he is the worst killer (not because of his gameplay, I believe he is a very powerful killer, there's just something about him I hate going against).
Whenever I see the white clocks in the HUD I say "oh are you ######### kidding me?" and wish I could just leave but I don't because disconnecting over a killer is pathetic and it puts my teammates at a disadvantage, so I just suck it up.
But that being said, I hate Freddy and couldn't care less if he ever got removed from the game.
What skill does ds require what skill does bt require all the best survivor perks require no skill flashlights are bugged out most of the time so they require no skill the only things that require any skill from survivors is looping and skill checks
Almost no perk in the game requires skill except maybe whispers or dead hard.
Flashlight saves require preciscion and timing.I've seen soooo many failed flashlight saves because the survivor didn't have the right timing or angle.
Unfortunately almost everything a survivor can show his skill in is more or less related to chases.
I respect great loopers and i can instantly tell a rank 1 red veteran from a 18 green but the flashlights im getting blinded looking down looking at walls from behind its ridiculous
His snare spam is really strong,too strong prob. He can stop loops without much of an effort,which i didn't notice before until I went against a p3 freddy who just snare spammed each loop.
yeah your right this game shouldnt take any skill.........
It should take skill from both sides not just killer
Hes not OP, hes just mindless to play
its not fun or engaging
Freddy is fine how he is, very powerful but not OP at all, and IMO he isn't boring to go against either
He isnt boring to play against he just not easy to bully with loops like clown so ofcourse they want him changed
Sorry you aren’t able to loop the same loop over and over again all game like you can with other killers. Freddy’s snares are there to help end loops that could otherwise be run infinitely. Also survivors need to be asleep for snares/fake pallets/add ons to even affect them. Try to wake yourself up with your alarm clock, or with teammates, and they won’t be a problem at all. You can take a break from gen rushing.
LMAO

Discordance + Nurses Calling + Whispers + Save the best for last + Freddy = <3
Just my personal preference. then again those perks on any killer = win.
Maybe it's just a case of git divided by gud = win (carry the qq)
Hes not OP, but he is EXTREMELY boring to play against.
He makes the riveting M1 gameplay take longer and can spam snares at pallets without risk which no other killer can do, thus rewarding bad players.
I don't know what the devs were thinking, but considering how long he took to be changed to begin with, i guess we are unfortunately stuck with him,
If you think being able to loop a pallet = an infinite then I must say you don't know what you're talking about and are simply ignorant of a killer who objectively has too little risk to his "playstyle"
Freddy is easy too learn hard too master, and who cares if he's easy and strong? Let people have a killer that's a good segway into the more high skillcap killers. Stop trying too nerf killers that don't need it because you can't figure out how too counter him. Tired of all these threads asking for nerfs that make literally no sense.
To me Freddy just feels so much more natural to play than any other killer. I prefer pallet Freddy than Blood Snare Freddy but do extremely well on both. It doesn't feel like I've mastered anything. I dunno the label says "hard" but he feels easy. Hell of a lot easier than the stress fest you get with Nurse.
