Self Care and Unhooking
Sooooo... I can't tell you how many times this has happened to me. Let me set the picture for you. Playing swf & a friend gets hooked. Killer camps said friend. *Gasp* I have BT I can take a hit and save them!
I run to the hook, fake a save so the killer hits me, go to unhook said friend ANNNNNNND start healing myself. In front of the dying friend. With the killers red stain on my tush.
So instead of saving them and running away, I'm lucky if I get out without being downed.
& Before anyone says "why run self-care?" Because you can't always depend on randos to heal you.
& Before anyone says "don't use self-care bring a medkit!" Let me rebut ahead of time, Franklin's Demise. & I shouldn't have to avoid a perk because one of it's mechanics is broken.
Solution: Can we change the button for unhook to something different than the button for self-care? Pleeeeeeeeease! Ty!

I'd like to see some fixes to overlapping controls too. Unhooking isn't the only situations where there being two different controls on the same button can cause problems. The problem is somewhat unavoidable on controllers but for KB&M players allowing for more robust keybinding configuration and setting how it currently is to the default would be enough.

Wait, you can self heal without a medkit?
RB on Xbox?

Yes. If you play Claudette and run her self-care perk (or unlock the teachable to use on other survivors).

What's broken about Franklin's Demise mechanics?
Also yeah I hate when it does that.. either trying to heal someone and I work on the generator, or trying to pick someone and I vault a window or search a locker, or the worst one, quick jumping into a locker (in front of the killer, obviously) instead of fast vaulting a window.

Omg yaaaaassssss. So many times that locker vacuum has got me when looping the killer shack! 💯😠🤷♀️
Facing the window, closest to the window, but NO! turn me around and put me in the locker behind me to the side- fast and loud, so the killer knows it too! 😏👌

Nothing's wrong with the Franklin's. But people say don't bring self care, bring a medkit. But if the killer brings Franklin's, often times you're screwed on healing up when you need it.
I've started running Inner Strength, because it doesn't require you to "m1" to heal, but that's beside the point - I should be able to run self-care and still unhook a teammate when I'm trying to. 💯

That's the main reason I stopped running self-care and instead started running inner strength lmfao I would sometimes try to drop a pallet and instead of dropping the fking pallet I started healing myself and ended up going down, I was like ok self-care is definitely a garbage perk especially considering most killers now run sloppy and thanatophobia.
Ps. Two months later I started running resilience instead of inner strength because now everyone runs it and dull totems disappear in the first 3 minutes of the match >:v

xoBlackBetty - I have the same problem with the opening the gate. When I was on about 98% and I was fully healthy before I get hit. When I get hit and I keep going to open gate but unfortunately, I heal my self instead and BAM i get hit and down. UGH! I had this discussion with friends and they should be adjust on that.

"you can't trust randos to heal you" You're literally in a SWF, there are perks that make being injured totally fine (dead hard, iron will, etc.) Randoms will heal you, but you shouldn't be prioritising healing over objectives when your teammates are desperate, good players will ignore you and focus objectives if they know its not a good time to be healing, the entire reason people make fun of self care users is because they waste time selfishly healing themselves while their teammates risk being injured to work on the objective. I get your point but perks can sometimes come at a cost or don't synergise, for example any exhaustion perks, more than 1 and it a waste, or dead hard and any means necessary, sometimes your DH will be cancelled in favor of picking up a pallet leading to you getting downed. Just don't use SC in the first place, self care's entire purpose is to be selfish while BT is team based, unsurprisingly SC hinders your ability to help your teammates

I don't believe you caught the gist of my complaint at all.
The point isn't whether or not you should/shouldn't be running self care. The point is that a perk in the game that you CAN run is broken and f*cking up. Fix it.
Also, your response was written like a true gen jockey. I usually run the killer. I use self care to take care of myself in solo games BECAUSE randos won't heal you half the time. If my teammates aren't altruistic enough to heal me, so I can go out and keep running the killer while they hide and do gens, why the eff would I run BT for them?
Also key wording on your part, "...they waste time selfishly healing themselves while their teammates risk being injured to work on the objective..."
1) I wouldn't have to waste time healing myself if I was getting healed by my teammates, which takes HALF the time of a self-heal.
2) They're risking being injured. THEY'RE. RISKING. BEING. INJURED. If I'm injured & they're full health working on a gen, they're a dick for not healing me (unless the gen is about to pop) because they're afraid to get injured. Are you serious? I'm already injured and am one hit away from being downed/hooked. GTFOH with that BS 😂

Seriously.. Can't count how many times randos left me there injured workout trying to heal me.. Or how many times I went into struggle or died on first hook because they were too "busy" all working on separate generators.

Also: "you shouldn't be prioritising healing over objectives when your teammates are desperate..."
That's the problem, is that I'm not. I'm running to unhook someone, while I'm injured & instead of unhooking them (as I intend to do), I start healing myself - because I have self-care.
It happened to me again today, I ran up, to heal a downed survivor in a pallet (who was at "find help") & instead of getting them up, I started self-caring on top of them & got downed by the killer.
BHVR PLEASE FIX THIS. Let me key bind self care to M3 or something PLEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!
