Bring Back Old Freddy But Buffed.

I remember when the Freddy rework was announced, and I was kinda shocked that they were changing his entire ability. To me, his power now makes no sense even after or before the patch 4.7.0 nerf. Freddy is supposed to be a dream demon, to hunt people in there dreams. I think Old Freddy needs to come back to Dbd but not useless like he was before the rework.
POWER REWORK:
Freddy should be how he used to be, not able to hit survivors when awake unless there sleeping, and he should keep the snares, dream pallets, and the gen teleport. Survivors can’t wake up from skill checks or other survivors, only when they get hooked. When he is putting survivors to sleep, he is invisible and will not shown for a bit during the dream transition. Also, buff some of his add ons would you BHVR?
This change will not make him incredibly powerful, nor making him too weak. The change will make him a decent killer in my opinion.

Also, thanks for reading if you see this. <3
The dream sequence is already a huge plus for Freddy than any other killer.
Brighter map, subtle terror music and plenty of effective powers he can utilize.
Preventing survivors from waking each other up and etc would be unfair since it'll literally be living hell for them.
I'd only be down for this if he loses his teleportation. That makes him the only killer with a map jumping ability. Not even the Nurse can do that.
i can see this working considering it fits his character a lot more. however they would need to find a way to make his power good enough to at least be in B tier

Demogorgon? Also, technically Hag, though that requires Survivors to trip the Traps if you're not using Mint Rag.
Hell yes, I want my boy back! And I'm sure @GeneralV does as well!

why he teleport is accurate to the moive by making something safe into someting scary his teleport stays.
I most certainly do, my friend! I really want my main back, and this is literally the perfect moment for the devs to give him back to us.

I honestly do not want to see the 50% generator/heal penalty while a sleep come back.
I dunno. I feel like giving Survivors a 100% immune state and a 7 second countdown in the current gen rush meta would make Freddy useless.
Back when I played Old Freddy, people would just ignore me and unhook in my face, because they were untouchable.
They would sit on generators for 5 seconds, because they knew 2 seconds was enough to run to a pallet/loop.
They would fail skillchecks because letting me know where they were meant nothing, since I could not hit them.
Old Freddy would be interesting mechanically, but Z-Tier. His power would mean Survivors were immune to damage with a 7 second countdown AFTER Freddy finally found them and THEN he would have to chase & loop them like normal. In the current meta, where a 10 second mistake can cost Killers the game, those forced 7 seconds, per Survivor, per health state/hook, would see Freddy just flipped off by Survivors as they get a 4-Man escape.
maybe 20% is a decent nerf
Old Freddy, my boi :( I really wanna him back. He is reason i played this game for years.
Anyway. I liked your idea. But my opinion:
+He has to get survivors to Dream World for attack them. Him old power will back.
+Survivors can not awake with skill check or by other survivors. Only if they get hook or clocks. When one survivor use clock, Freddy will see him aura for 10 seconds.
+He will teleport all gens. Normal gens red, repaired gens will shown as blue.
+For each survivor in dream world, survivors will lose repair, sabo, heal speed 5% (Max 20%)
+Dream Pallets base-kit. But Freddy can not use them himself. Pallets will respawn randomly. Max 7 pallets. When one of them destroyed, one pallet will respawn randomly.
I'd rather just have it thrown out all together seeing as in this version, you wouldn't be able to actively wake yourself up at all. One of the things that was incredibly boring about old Freddy IMO was the cycle of:
Find a survivor, they run immediately in some random direction once they hear the lullaby, wait 7 seconds to do anything, they fall asleep. If the killer leaves to sleep other survivors, you blow up a gen and wake up, then they either come back and do the whole thing over again or finally commit to a chase. It was just really long and really uneventful for both sides.
And this doesn't include the gen perks we have now that can be stacked on top of it that could be even more into overkill territory. My hope for Freddy was making him into a more faster trap based killer. Like him being able to toggle through all of his abilities, but have separate meaningful cooldown/resources on each of them so you can't just spam them. That way you could set up fake pallets here, puddles there, and teleport to herd survivors into them.
but that woudnt accurate because in the moives they had to hurt themselve or grab freddy and pull him in id would say stunning with pallets get you out of the dreamworld so its easy to get out dreamworld either that or bring selfcare again
Hes already stronag enogh. He needs no buffs. They should buff demo firdt
Demo already got buffed.
If old Freddy comes back I will jizz. In a good way.
sounds like your a suviour main
I actually main demo. And freddu is strong enough he needs no buffs lol. Also you sound like a freddy main
You think you want it but you don't. Trust me I put so many hours into that killer.
The aura reading alone will make people hate him more than new freddy.
I have proof of me 4king with him too. Thing is prenerf freddy took little skill. Im actually good at the game, i dont need op kilkers to win.
i play all kilers and freddy implemation is not the best to say the least
All DbD players know, Freddy is weakest killer in that game. You are survivor main or you are new at this game idk
Obvious bait. If your talking about the freddy when he was first added i agree but modern freddy is still strong. Also survivor main is ur only comeback lolz.
Ok, this thread proves that most people want Old Freddy back, which is amazing and I love y'all for that. But, the few who don't want him back have one complaint in common: his inability to interrupt actions during the Dream Transition.
Said complaint is totally understandable. It was one of his weaknesses, after all. So, please allow me to offer a solution, straight from my proposed idea for a Freddy rework:
-During the Dream Transition Survivors can see glimpses of The Nightmare and they suffer from the Incapacitated status effect.
This should prevent those situations from ever happening again.
Thoughts?
Freddy is strong enough.
I'd like him back simply because I'd like to play Freddy without feeling like I'm boosted again. New Freddy has so much utility that he doesn't feel challenging to play even against decent players.
Kd personally just make it to where he cant fake qteleporqts
Ask anyone, they will say Freddy is weakest killer in DbD. He needs buffs. Even trapper stronger than him. If you do not believe me ask @lob
Obvious bait, 0/10
That, I could agree with. It would mean Survivors only get a small bonus to loop times. But they could no longer unhook, work on gens, or open exit gates directly in front of a hapless Freddy.
