Install Hero Wars FREE ✅ : mtchm.de/p5t4d and get a super chest with a secret hero! 🔥 Available only for the next 30 days! Thanks a ton for the sponsor. Without them, I wouldn't be able to do what I do. And thank you for watching, it makes the time I spend on these worth it.

If their was a add on to give him his old power back I would use it

The only thing I want really is the dev team to take a year and de spaghettify the game or however long it would take I just want the game to last and rn it's like a rusty shitbox in the middle of the blizzard, it needs to be polished so that later the game is still playable without looking like a PowerPoint document, I love this game and i really hope they take the time to give the game what it needs

Damn I didn’t except the funny cartoon person to get so serious. I’m sad now.

The completely honest tone this guy takes when talking about this game's community and future is honestly one of my favorite parts about him. Not even just because I find these videos hilarious or agree with everything he says. He always sounds like he's sincerely trying to present the best of both sides of this game, and I really appreciate that. Thank you Rowby, you're the voice of reason in a sea of disagreement.

Thank you for giving my main a proper Jerk’s Guide! I will always love a nightmare on elm street and until Alien or Pennywise are introduced I will probably main him, but I agree that his old power was a lot cooler and made you feel like an actual dream demon.

hey, so i know this is probably gonna be the cheesiest fucking comment you're ever gonna get, but honestly i can't thank you enough for your videos you're not only entertaining and educative with your analysis of perks and add-ons, and perk suggestions in general, you do so in such an entertaining way; you have a great personality, and i think it's safe to say it carries over to almost all of your content you feel kinda like a teacher sometimes, and i like that! even if this series is hard to continue, thank you for giving us what you have as of now honest to god idk if you even want to consider yourself a dbd youtuber but you sure as hell have a huge impact on this community hats off mang

Oh damn. This came right out of left field.

I remember the OG Freddy. Yeah it had issues, but I still managed to get Adept with him, and after his rework I can honestly say... He's the killer I play with the second highest body count. (Number 1 in moris though now that I think about it.)

I mained old freddy, they massacred my boy's loyalty to the film in exchange to annoying and poorly designed power, which isnt fun to use. Bring him back or at least put a toggle on in the menu so you can select which u wanna play

I loved your interaction with the mini Freddy, It was cool having a casual talk with the killer of the video.

this guy is honestly so clever and it oozes through so many aspects of his videos. Whether it be witty metaphors, well thought out fixes to issues, or whatever

Bhvr: we've done a pretty good job so far freddy: hits me from 60 feet away me: um.. wa-

Honnestly would love to see your review style for other games when your done with dbdl. An Omori or Lisa review would be pretty sick

Is it bad that I love playing Freddy because I love the character and the movies

8:02 there would be so many interesting add-ons and perk combinations for this power. If I were to get a speedy bouncing K-pop star with pwyf I would spend 4 dollars on ‘Auric Cells’

Genuinely like the trickster idea. Actually makes his name fit could be way more useful

That honesty and self-awareness you display is something many game communities should learn from, however miserable it might feel to admit it

Rowby your just trying to avoid huntress hag and nurse aren’t you?

I love how, instead of talking about the killer in a more reviewer-to-product way, you structured it like a one on one conversation with one of the most beaten down killers in DBD. I think that's such a cool concept, and made for some great jokes and analysis. Good work as always Rowby! ≠)

I love that you do guides on even the bad killers, nobody was making a freddy guide so I couldn’t find anything in him

Thank God a new one. I've rewatched all of the other ones like 30 times this week

The only place I didn’t expect to see vin Diesel family meme was here

"ODEN IS WITH US!"

As a Trickster main, I would actually LOVE that rework. You’re right. Gives him identity, has a more fun skill gap, and makes it more fun for the survivors to get lay against.

2:51 Rowby has good taste

regarding 4:08 the trick with dream pallets is to never respect pallets ever, it's a waste of time, even if the pallet is real just try to lunge through it anyways. if you do the exact same thing at every pallet and just eat the stuns to kill the pallets early on, that's more spots for dream pallets, no margin of error, and forces the survivor to toss them every single time dream pallet or no dream pallet. eating stuns might sound bad but you genuinely save more time and get more value out of being stunned and breaking a pallet than you do dancing around one for awhile also at 4:53 the invisibility isn't really supposed to help freddy, it's just a reference to the nightmare on elm street movies where people would be flung around the room in the real world for seemingly no reason while in the dream world they're actively being attacked or manipulated by freddy. i guess technically it MIGHT make flashlight saves more difficult? but it's just a reference for flavor

I love the fact that another one of these has come out, because I love this series

I don't want them to crunch, I just want them to release the chapters when they are done. Sure, we might get less content, but I believe it's better to get more quality.

I just finished all of your explained videos too lol. Great timing 😭

Video: Has a Nier reference. Me: Yonah might be sick but so am I. *legion jumps a pallet*

I will never forgive behavior for not making the wake up animation a slap across the face.

Yeah, ever since nemesis came out, my game randomly freezes when i start to use my power, so like if i was huntress i pull up a hatchet and freeze fr 10 seconds, them leaving and me losing

You're a really smart guy and I love all your ideas for the game. Great yt content man.

Whenever I play Freddie I just dont respect any pallets. I'll happily eat a pallet if it means messing with their minds. Also as of dec. 2023, thrilling tremors from ghostface is a very useful perk on him. Pick up a survivor and every gen that isn't being worked on will be blocked and highlighted white. So you know exactly which gen to teleport to after you get a hook

these are super fun to watch! trickster is my fave character so i would love to see a jerks guide to him if you plan to do more

Welp i don't think rowby has any good killers left

I only remember playing old Freddy, but I mained him because he was horribly obnoxious to play against - once he tagged you, you couldn't hide, only run and pray he was working on someone else. As for my perks, it was stupid but hilariously effective: Nurse's Calling to stop sleepers ninja-healing in my terror radius, then because I'm an asshole, I backloaded them all into endgame to make it less flaccid for him, with NOED, Blood Warden and Remember Me. I didn't get to use it all most of the time because Freddy made a lot of people commit hook-Entity, but when I did it was *glorious*. When I make the mistake of coming back to DBD, I find myself missing my dumb idiot asshole killer, and play Wraith instead for a fix of bingo bongo unga bunga.

I started playing Freddy recently and I've found Surveillance to be a useful perk. If a generator I kicked is highlighted in yellow I can either teleport to it or use the blood spill to scare them off of it and possibly towards me.

damn, I really like that trickster idea. Might actually help him with map mobility too.

Actually the trickster rework is interesting, it still feels and match the trickster theme while for overall balance/meta the skill is still useless against long loop/god loop so yeah, i know

The way I went forward and heard an explosion I went back and never skipped again 🤣

That forward key trick was incredible. Well played, sir.

Love the sponsor segments really feels like you are actually holding me hostage and are considering water boarding me

Instantly you made my day better. Thank you

“And I think it’s okay to lose faith in something, because there’s always a possibility that you could be proven wrong.” Shivers.

11:13 What about the paintbrush and eruption, would those synergize well?

Youre always pioneering for people using new perks so I tried a new load out with a perk I've always wanted to try to make work, my leatherface build is tinkerer, oppression, pop, and dead mans switch and its been pretty good

I would love to play right now but the lag spikes make it impossible to play at the moment everytime something happens the whole game freezes for a good 10 second so that sucks I hope they fix it soon so I can finally play again but meanwhile I’m just gone watch some video really enjoy your content keep it up !!!

I WILL DIE A HAPPY MAN if the devs add some kind of legendary skin to turn Freddy into Robert Englund

I think your videos are very informational, I’ll play a killer for a couple matches and then I’ll watch your video for them and it’s like I can get things to click now. I think you’re really funny and I appreciate how you present your info. I know you’re a person just like me so I hope you’re taking care of yourself and fulfilling your personal needs. I always have a hard time watching vids more than five minutes long but your channel is the exception, I could listen to you make jokes for longer than 15 mins. You’re about the only creator I will open the app for if I see you’ve made a new video and watch it immediately

"don't click the forward key i rigged it to explode" me in my head: killer queen has already touched the forward key

Ur one of the best gaming RU-vidrs, always entertaining when usually videos like this are boring, and genuinely informative

Man everytime I check up on your channel you are still super underrated, keep it up and you will have 100k in no time.😊😊

That’s honestly a good trickster power rework, but I would also add him being able to also jump over vault-able locations/dropped pallets with that jump

Ruin surveillance bbq and whispers with lower cooldown/purple chains is an amazing build. Wait 7 sec for survivors to touch gens, run close enough to gens to get them to bug while bait further gens with teleport. Hook get bbq view on other players. Allows you to know where everyone is. Blood trap allows you to protect totem and close loops quickly.

Tips for Freddy for anyone that needs em , in a chase spam dream snares they take practically no time to place and will help eventually, tinkerer and pop are amazing on Freddy when tinkerer goes off teleport and kick. If you like ruin more grab undying to protect your ruin and surveillance(pig perk, every time a gen is regressing it will shine white if someone starts working on it, it will turn yellow for 16 seconds.) teleport to the yellow gens.

I seathed so hard at his rework I dropped the game entirely. Miss having my 24/7 survivors aura revealed but don't think many people knew about that build.

Love your videos man. Keep it up!

Every day rowby uploads is a happy day

Funny you mention not waking up, because on some maps that filter makes the map better for me, and some things become more visible. And like you said, unless I'm in a chase, the snares almost never matter.

I strongly agree with that little bit you talked about the Trickster in.

I was expecting a trickster video but this is still good

Use aggitation, scourge (pinhead slowdown one) and scourge (crow lady) explodes gen when booking somebody, and nurses calling. You will win lol

I wish the devs would have put more time into the Freddy rework, he barely resembles his movie counterpart, i even have an idea for a concept that has the old and new version combined and still (possibly) make him a good killer, short version: it’s old Freddy with some of the powers of new Freddy and a little bit of extra but if anyone is interested in a bit more detailed explanation just keep reading: At base he is like his old self, he has to put survivors into sleep and is only visible in dream world and has the stats of normal killer. -first: survivors have an automatic clock like the modern version that puts them into sleep after a minute and Freddie has to put them into sleep by holding his power for like 5 seconds (like the old version) but while they start to fall asleep they begin to flicker in and out of the dream world and if Freddy hits the right timing he can injure them before they fall completely asleep, the survivors also see Freddy flickering in and out while they fall asleep (they flicker if Freddy puts them into sleep by himself or in the last 10 seconds of their timer) -he has the snares or dreampallets (with the addons) and place them like his rework version and they only work on sleeping survivors -last his teleport, same as rework but it has a longer cooldown, if you cancel it it depletes half of the charge and if you teleport to awake survivors, the ones that are still touching the gen while you teleported are immediately put into sleep and all around that are not touching the gen but in a 6 meter radius of it are put into a flickering sleep state for 10 seconds before falling asleep That’s it, I think I could have explained it easier but meh, I am bad at explaining, what are your thoughts?

Alternate Title: Rowby yells about Freddy (and trickster) for 15 minutes

What about using deadman’s switch, if he has that add that makes it look like he’s spawning no matter we’re he ports to, then he can block gens a lot.

I think with how much more experience they have breaking the mold now they could finally do freddy justice.

I’m so glad I decided to wait before commenting something about how you say “deadass”

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who misses the old Freddy because it was more flavorful to the killer than the more satisfying part of my power I have to use an add-on for. the fact that survivors can see me when they're awake just kind of throws everything off. Just like bringing back the reverse bear trap to go off in the little exit area cuz in which movie can you leave the game with the trap still on your fucking face.

Even his talking about the worst killer he still makes me smile :)

How do put people in a dream I don’t have the option to do that?

I came expecting a guide for freddy, but I left with with a little history on the state on the game 1 year ago

Rowby: I rigged you’re forward key to blow up Me on moblie: I have no such weekness’s

Love you man! Great video

Right as I tapped the forward key as the explosion happened and I shat it

A Fun Little Fact If You Hear Closely Around The 13 Min Mark You Can Hear A PS4 On The Back Yes Jerk You Are This Entertaining That I'm Not Listening To You But To The Background

I never knew about any of this tbh. I pretty much was just giddy cause he’s the 2010 Freddy and that’s my fav Nightmare movie :D

Your account def needs more hype it’s so funny don’t ever drop it ly bro ❤️❤️

I've always been a huge freddy fan, so i was honestly let down with how he was set up. If it were me id have 2 states for the survivors "Awake" and "Asleep" Give the traps the ability to put survivors to sleep. Give Freddy the ability to only attack the players in a dream state (it'd more accurate) while making him invisible to players who are awake. Rather than attacking awake characters he applies debuffs to them when he hits them -Insominia: Increases skill check difficulty and reduces movement speed while awake -Microsleep: Player falls asleep at random and wakes up at random for the duration of the match -Paranoia: Once in a dream state the player is within Freddy's terror radius regardless of Freddy's position. (so even if you are on opposite sides of the map, the game will still act as if the killer is nearby) Give Freddy two modes, Dream world and Waking world. Where he has to go between the two to target the players. Attacking the sleeping survivors in Dream Mode, and debuffing the waking survivors in Waking mode. This'll give Freddy a unique playstyle that is both requires strategy and timing to play, but also makes Freddy feel like Freddy.

Imagine if Freddys power allowed him to “block off” pallets or windows or even doors while in the dream world

1:16 you fool, you forgot about me clicking the progress bar

Here’s how I would fix Freddy and I know there is potholes in this but hear me out when I play Freddy there’s so many things to his kit yet they all feel worthless so I think stripping down his abilities for example getting rid of blood pallets and buffing his other abilities make him easier and more fun to play

Awesome videos Rowdy I subscribe to ur channel you got great advice about the killers I want to thank you I appreciate it.

8:19 The tricksters ability is so boring that I came up with it a couple years ago when I was a wee laddie

Imagine if Freddy has his old power, but survivors don't take forever to get pulled into the dream world, failed skill checks won't wake you up, and dreaming survivors move a bit slower so you can catch them easier ('cause they in your world now).

Guys am I the only that has an idea to buff a lot freddie? For example when a survivor is in the dream world at the place of doing a lunge attack he can extend his arm for 4 meters (with cooldown), and then has a 2 seconds speed buff to keep up with the survivor. I also though that he could change his original glove with the syringe glove (inflicting deep wound and also has a cool down of some seconds and can be used on people also aputside the drram world), and ofc he can keep his power, what do you guys think about it?

YESSSSS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

NOED, Bloodwarden, Remember Me, Haunted Grounds Even if they manage to get the exit gates up, they'll never it out alive

My man you play dangeronpa??? That outro music so be slapping

*Frantically tapps phone* ALOHA SNACK BAR!

Love your videos man

Back when the splinter add ons that let you play the licensed killers at the cost of no perks or add ons, I got freddy and once, and I was able to kill all of the survivors, yet with Micheal I could barely fucking hit people

You rigged the forward key to explode thank the sweet sweet release of death

Lets go Rowby uploaded thats always good

I miss old Freddy. He wasn't "OMG he's so OP!" but he felt a lot more iconic than current one. Everyone knew he was getting nerfed, it was just a matter of 'when', and now I don't ever see him. As a horror slasher icons, he's number 1 or 2, depending on Jason's position on your list. So sad that nobody plays him anymore. And I love your videos, really takes the piss out of this game

why this guy only has 50 k sub and not a billion? lov ur vids man, keep going!

That joke at the end lol

I miss old Freddy. I mained him back in the day and it was fun playing arguably the worst killer in the game and feeling like a big brain killer, and he had some fun builds as well. And the rework was fun but I don’t like how easy he is now. I tend to just play pallet Freddy for memes nowadays.

little did he know in 2 years hillbilly would be restored
