About franklins

I am 100% a killer main. Always have been always will be. When I first saw the franklins change in the notes I was a little frustrated at first. But honestly after using it I think I prefer new franklins. Sure it doesn’t help against keys now but to be honest I can count the number of times franklins has fully countered keys for me on my hands. And in exchange franklins is now absolutely amazing for flashlights, medkits and even sabo toolboxes. The feeling when you find the survivor with a medkit early only to see when the game is over it was a ranger kit with double charges or a yellow kit with a styptic just feels so great. I can say pretty confidently I prefer this new franklins. What do y’all think?

    Its better against medkits now, but the thing it does nothing to the keys anymore leaves a bad aftertaste for many people

    I honestly feel people overestimate how much franklins can do against a key. Outside of a immersed solo player urban evading until their entire team dies. The only thing survivors had to do to completely invalidate franklins is just pick a spot and drop the thing and now franklins can’t touch it. Honestly I feel new franklins may even be a little more useful against the more annoying key addons like blood amber.
