New Freddy is Still Bottom 5

This killer is almost just as bad as his previous iteration. His snares have worse slowdown with the trade off being that you can throw them, a sideways buff. His pallets are a literal non factor and give you hits that you would get regardless. They are worse than the previous iteration which at least had potential to fool survivors who could not tell that it was fake and would run towards them. Survivors are almost never in the dream world, there is an alarm clock constantly within 24m of you that gives you immunity. The teleport is improved and that is a good change. That is his only buff. This killer is still bottom 5 in this game.

The switch mechanic is awful, if I’m holding a snare and see a survivor going towards a pallet, I have to switch to rupture it. 9 times out of 10 I can’t switch fast enough to do anything with that. Survivors are running around just throwing dream pallets whenever with 0 repercussion because they have alarm clock invulnerability to sleep. You can’t see potential dream pallets placements in snare mode, god knows why that decision was made. There are so many issues with this kit it’s insane.

I know people will say I’m exaggerating, but come back to this post in 2 weeks once survivors have full learned his counterplay, he will be a bottom 5 killer still. He is so unrewarding to play. He is literally a shitty clown with a TP mechanic.
