it's a strat that helps them bring in items that are part of the game and avoid moris/franklin's demise.

It's a bit annoying, but it doesn't bother me that much as killer. If I'm really worried about the items they might bring, I just wait until they've all readied up before I do the same. I very rarely have anyone switch items at the six-second mark.

They're probably just doing it because they've gotten dodged a lot or run into a lot of people using Franklin's/a Mori.
I jokingly call them 'tahhhhxic', laugh at it, and move on.

Not something I see very often, not something I care about anyways. If it's a tryhard survivor team, they will gen rush and be out the door in a few minutes. If that's how they have fun - who am I to stop them

If several of them swap to toolboxes or someone swaps a key, i will alt-f4 out, match cancelled no leaver penalty.

They can bring all the items in the world it doesn't matter anyways. I usually laugh when someone quickswitches to something as useless as a flashlight

I've always wanted it to lock survivors at around 15 seconds so killers can swap situational perks like Franklin's Demise to deal with items. Last-second swapping definitely makes it harder to effectively use those kinds of tech perks.

This here. I just want to play flashlights to practice flashlight saves, but when I let the flashlight at the lobby.. Killers always bring moris or sweaty slugg builds with strong Killers. Thats why I switch in the last second. BUT if 4 survivors in swf do that with toolboxes and medkits etc then that is not fine imo. 1-2 items are totally fine but 4 are abit too much for my opinion.

I do this but it's literally just because i'm spending blood points on other survivors to get teachables before switching to thicc jane.

If they can still bleed, they can still die all the same.
I really don't care about what items Survivors bring in. It wouldn't change my builds as they are made to support that Killer and should be able to deal with it.
The only thing a quick swap dies for me is make that Survivor/s a target.
Flashlight. Highly altruistic. Good odds of me baiting them out of position or I know they will waste time attempting saves.
Toolbox. High priority target. If I see ANYONE with a toolbox that game they are dead first. Either a saboteur or gen rusher. Either way I want them dead. Most players that do either are weak links anyway.
Medkit. Ignore them. They will likely be good at looping and will want to be looped. Ignoring them while chasing another Survivor is free pressure as 2 Survivors are not working gens.
Map. Why should I care about a map as long as I'm not Trapper? If I am Trapper. Then they are a 2nd priority if I intend to make use of my traps.
The only thing that truly effects me as Killer though. Are map offerings. If I see one of those, I know it isnt going to be a good game. Good odds of a meme game, try hard group, trolls, or something not normal gameplay. This is the only thing i fear as Killer.
Fog offerings on the other hand. I wish people used more of those. So much more fun in those games if you ask me. And God help the Survivors if I'm a stealth Killer!

Unless its 3-4 toolboxes I'll still play nice. I don't really care for it, but once you reach that number of toolboxes I'm kinda forced to play like a cock if I want to win.

I think it's just dumb that people will go that far to try to get an edge.

It's nothing, why care for survivors switching, even if they did bring items
0 -
I don't care that much, if I lose, I lose. I don't dodge lobbies that much even with an obvious SWF. It's just annoying when they pretend to be good with 0 looping, wasting pallets and being consistently downed because their friends simply rushed gens.

The only time it annoys me is when everyone is ready except for that one survivor who decides to wait just for the sake of it and then change their items. Dude, if the killer is ready just swap it immediately and ready up, you are wasting everyone's time
