Reworked Freddy - Suggested Tweaks

Reworked Freddy feels very fun to play as or against. Tho, I think that some changes could receive more attention, so I'd like to share my considerations and possible solutions. Let me know what do you think!

(Also, please note that I play slightly more as a killer than survivor, so my considerations may be affected)

.

Dream Snares

  • [NERF] Hindered effect is applied for 3.5 seconds (currently it's 4.5)
  • [BUFF] Cooldown reduced by 10%

Note: Hindered is a status effect disliked by many survivors and 4.5 seconds feels a bit too much. To compensate for this, a cooldown reduction is applied, which will also help killers to put survivors to sleep faster.

.

Dream Pallets

  • [BUFF] Sleeping survivors must be 1 meter closer to Dream Pallets to be able to see their red aura
  • [NERF] Awake survivors can see the aura emitted by fake pallets 1 meter further from them
  • [NERF] Awake survivors can drop and destroy Dream Pallets without triggering loud noise notification

Note: Dream Pallets feel extremely satisfying to use... when they work. However, experienced survivors can easily recognize fake pallets and avoid them safely. These changes would allow the killer to get better value from his power when survivors are asleep, while survivors would be more incentivized to be awake.

.

Alarm Clocks

  • [BUFF] Using an Alarm Clock causes it to go on a global 60 seconds cooldown (currently it's 45)

Note: Alarm clocks have been quite buffed after the update. There are now many of them scattered around the map (previously was only 1), while still providing the huge benefit of completely negating the killer's power.

Quality of Life

  • Add a visual/audio feedback when switching between Snares mode and Pallets mode.
  • Make the transition between Snares/Pallets mode more responsive.
  • Make it clearer what will be the direction you'll face after the teleport.
  • Change the color of repaired generators. The current white-ish is too similar to gen-blocking perks.
  • Change the color of pallets' silhouette. The current white/red/yellow scheme isn't intuitive.
  • Make Pallets silhouette visible in Snares Mode too.
