Franklin's Demise
I personally don't like being affected by Franklin's Demise.
I've had experiences playing with friends over Discord. As soon as the first hit happens, everyone becomes aware of the perk. For a lone survivor, it feels quite one-sided. Yes, I understand the risks involved. We all know the killer is out there, but what I don't like is how it feels "biased". If I decide to bring my red/purple item into the game, it gets annihilated just like everything else. While perks like lightborn seem adequate, Franklin's Demise doesn't, at least not until it has a symmetrical effect on the killer as well. If it deprives me of my item, maybe the killer should lose his/hers too?
Or perhaps just remove/change this perk?

Survivors can get items and add-ons (including BNPs) during trials without needing to spend a single bloodpoint (bring Plunderer's and Ace In The Hole and you have a decent chance at getting a good item with good add-ons. Or hell, just bring Dramaturgy and Ace In the Hole to just be able to roll a die and spawn a toolboxe with BNP or Comodeus Toolboxe with full add-ons if you're lucky, you even get to keep them if you leave the trial alive with the item/add-ons).
While Killers, unless they use a Black Ward, cannot keep add-ons even if they 4k with 0 gens done, they are gone for good and must be grinded for again. They also cannot just gain add-ons for free mid-trial. Killer add-ons also tend to be extremely useless or nearly necessary (most Killers have some add-ons that are downright nerfs and others that are almost necessary when climbing the MMR ladder.) And getting the add-ons you want to spawn in the bloodweb can take some time and subsequently cost a lot of bloodpoints.
Franklin's Demise is one perk out of hundreds, not used that often (and more often than not it is used out of spite when seeing 4 beamers or 4 toolboxes) and it doesn't make the Killer any better in chase nor does it provide any info or gen regression.

I just being tool boxes and use them ASAP. If it gets dropped it's used already, I bring the yellow ones so it's like meh who cares.
Sometimes I'll bring med kit with a shot on my p100s, if it's dropped you can still sometimes get it back and use it.
If it really bothers ya, there is built to last to counter it :)
