POV: You ran Franklin's Demise before people got saltly over It
Honestly, actually really funny when you think about.
After the Mori changes, Tryhard survivors wiped out their keys in unity and said "NOTHING CAN STOP US NOW" only for one of the most basic perks to ever be in the game came out of hiding and snatch all their happiness away.
Now,every other thread is about how Franklin's Demise is pure evil and you should be hung by your thumb for using It. All I gotta say about that is:
You said Mori changes where fair and just and should not have been done at the same time as keys.
You decree they did not need to warn the players of the changes.
You called Killers "Salty" and "butthurt" for feeling like they where being treated unfairly.
NOW YOU GET TO DEAL WITH FRANKLIN'S! One of The most basic perks in the game. Not even high tier and is only made to knock items out of your grubby little hands. And the rage,salt decreeing everyone who uses It is toxic proves one thing.
You gotta git gud mate. I mean If this one little perk which is just a little obnoxious is enough to make a wall of text about how pure evil It. We can always undo Mori changes. You can have people hook you once, then down you a again and kill you.
I mean, I know what these kind of Survivors actually want, we all do. They basically want the Killer to be someone they can bully around with their friends and taunt like they are some kind of playground click and the Killer is the nerdy kid who can't fight back. So, the Idea of making franklin's do nothing would get them hyper excited. Like the idea of nerfing BBQ and Chili cause we all know how all op that is right? And getting mad about BBQ is clearly not a sign of just being salty you lost cause someone ran It.
Even then, How can we nerf Franklin's..They already remove the item drain effect in the OG verson, and basically the entity is giving you a chance to save your item before he eats It. So, we can't add drain cause It was already removed..And having items knocked out of your hand is unfun..
So, what do we do?
Cause, really you put killers in a corner here, you wanna key everyone to death but at the same time expect killers to roll over in take It. Which due to this has created less and less killers..Which is why Survivors have long Que times. You got what you wanted "mori nerfs" But basically know your keys are gonna be safe for awhile so you gonna run free..So,in order for Killers to make enough points while also not being rolled over, they run Franklin's in a last ditch effort..A perk I mind you only serves the purpose of item removal...And this makes the Entitled Survivors rage "HOW DARE YOU TRY TO PERVENT MY FUN BY TAKING MY KEY! YOU NEED TO GIT GUD AND LET ME KEY YOU!" Your fun? You know I like some fun as well, I want this damn 2 hooks each survivor..But you aint gonna give that to me for free..So,why on each am I gonna let you get the hatch in a sense..for free..I already had that happen when I first started playing in 2017..I aint letting It happen again..(Also, props for living this long DBD community..And not dying)
Which leads to me saying one thing
For the love of God..The entity....Whatever.
Devs:Please, don't nerf Franklin's..That would just be too much. That might actually kill the Killer population because this is their last line of defense vs the March of the Keys meta we have seen since the Mori rework. If you do nerf Franklin's (Which I don't even know how you would by this point) before massive second chance perk and key changes..That would kind of seem..Bias...Specially considering Franklin's is basic as It gets right now. I get people don't like having items taken from them..But, people also don't like playing call of Duty and when they down someone they crawl on their butt and shoot you in the junk. And Killers don't like having doors stun them..But, all 3 things are fair in a sense.
But,really this is my all around way of saying "GG,Franklin's GG"
P.s..Before you say I am targeting "All survivors" No I am not...As seen with the words "Tryhard" "Saltly" and "Those kind" before the word surviors.

Ghostface got a key collection

IF you go into a lobby with like 4 med kits or 4 flashlights; and get Franklins or Lightborn you honestly shouldn't complain that's of course what is going to happen sometimes.

ngl i didn't notice key meta was a thing i just run franklins every time i see 4 man keys.
Jesus with the way killers are being treated playing forever fred makes me feel less like scum

I have a friend that started bringing green keys just to troll killers into bringing franklins now. Pretty funny
1 -
Dunno why they cry so much about Franklin's it's countered so easily when it comes to keys just drop the key in a hiding spot can't hit it out of your hands if it's not there to begin with.

The timing of this post is hilarious.
Just this morning a myers ran Franklin's against me and it actually enabled all 4 survivors to escape. He hit a toolbox out of meg's hand, which i immediately picked up and used to sabo two hooks in his face while the exit gate was open.
I doubt he realized how much Franklin's hurt him, but if he knew I used the toolbox meg was holding I'm sure he'll never use Franklin's ever again.

So your saying don't return from break just yet because if i play no item bubba i will have my family held ransom.

..Maybe..

Because the survivors literally don't want the killer to do anything

Now to run Franklin's with NOED for maximum Survivor head explosion!

Franklins Demise has been a pretty hated perk ever since I started playing, and not because of keys. It's just kind of an anti-fun perk, especially now that it drains charges.
Personally, I think it's whatever. I don't like it but I'm not going to scream my head off about it.

Awwww just like shroud of separation before the nerf with the loading screen dc. That was also pretty funny XD

I love franklins because my friends freak out and rage over losing pixels in a video game where they aren't even necessary to win lol. I think it's funny and fair.

Don't say Franklins is useless. Its quite fun. Especially when I play it in combination with Hoarder. I always know when someone tries to get an item back. :)
And survivors are more than often the kind of survs that always try to get back their items before doing gens. They paid for it, so they want to use it.

It used to drain charges, not anymore

Charges get sucked while it's on the ground. I've had more than one brown medkit become almost completely useless

Lol, I've been doing this with Bubba lately as I level him to 40. Hate playing him but this combo, with Infectious Fright and BBQ and Chili have made playing him a bit more tolerable.

Lol this was a pretty hilarious read. It makes me wanna use Franklin's.
2 -
Every day I wish legion could use Franklin's with their power
every day

Oof, haven't played Legion in so long I forgot that was a thing. RIP Stabby Gang.

People always got salty when you ran it.
3 -
Slightly off topic but this happens to every tool killers get or some released killers.
For some time survivors " get used" to the new stuff and then decide it's been unfair the whole time.

I adore Lightborn due to how quickly it can turn 1 down into 3 dc's.
3 -
no more hooks no more killing only gen farming
0 -
it used to remove charges not anymore

Hehe jokes on you, I've always been salty about franklin's ;P
hasn't stopped me enough to use it myself though

I love Franklin's and don't think it gets the credit for being as good as it is. People will do absolutely crazy things to get their items back. Ultimately, I think it's an interesting bait/slowdown perk. I've had people get hit and just keep circling the item until I down them rather than trying to escape. I've had people miss the pick up while I chase them and literally turn back to get it...and get hit. This whole time they aren't doing gens. SWFs sometimes coordinate a recovery and I get 2-4 people not doing gens, plus multiple hit/downs.
This doesn't seem to change as ranks change. The guy that turned back after missing the pick up was a red rank on Hawkins. Maybe he thought he was good enough to pull it off, but he wasn't.
I don't think the problem is Franklin's being a bad perk, but that it's benefits are not easily measurable like some others. It's benefits are influenced by survivor behavior. How do you measure that? I'll keep running it when I see 3-4 items in the lobby because the return has been great for me.

Nope, I wish they did tho

Item Thief Trapper is one of the most fun things in the game, they just can't resist going back for the items, especially with hoarder (and its inevitable buff when the rarity code gets re-done so it's not broken) it's great fun!
1 -
I couldn't agree more with the OPs post. I absolutely despise keys and I always run Franklin's when I see one, if they have no mercy for the killer by using a key I won't have mercy for them by using Franklin's
