But why we are changing Franklins Demise that will obviously encourage you as a killer to sit down at the campfire and wait until the item disappears?

I'm gonna be honest when I see 4 items or 3 or certain items I put on franklins, maybe with the TRapper, trap the item and ######### them up. And when I was playing survivor I ran a brown medkit for the challenge and after the doctor hit me, downed me, he went to the item and waited until it was gone ...

So why? Why we are backfireing when things made people play like a d? Wasn't the plan to make the game less toxic? Wasn't that the reason for all the rules you added, all the mechanics, punishments, moderations, changes, adjustments, nerfs?

And Franklins already did its intended job perfect. Idk if you want to make killer waiting until an item gets deleted they should invest a deadly time like 150 seconds. So if they wanna camp the items just to see survivors leaving the trial without their items they shouldn't also be able to 4k or nearly 4k.

And I kinda see that if Knockout is already too strong for the devs on certain killers you know what that means for Infectious Fright, right?

    I’m not sure why they felt the need to add the new mechanic, as I always felt the perk worked just fine. It made survivors drop their items and if they wanted to go back to get them, it just meant they weren’t doing objectives, which is what a killer wants.

    Like sitting at the item until it disappears?

    Why can't I play against more killers like you?

    I really hope to get matched against you if that's the case

    4 gens with no hooks because you camped the item

    I dont really understand this complaint. Why are people complaining about meme perks? I mean franklin has never been anything besides that. And if killers are slugging people and waiting for the entity to take the item, I got a little secret to tell ya. Its called crawling. Crawl away, it takes 90 seconds at least for the item to eaten and you can make it halfway across the map, get rescued, and all the while your team mates have been doing gens. I cant even imagine bitching about such a killer intentionally throwing the game to steal your item xD.

    And if the killer still gets a 4k after doing that, well I think the survivors really need to up their game then, because thats embarassing.

    I run the new Franklin's on legion and i don't camp the fallen item if they or another member of the team picks it up whatever.. i would prefer nobody picks it up and it goes bye bye but if it does it does..


    When it comes to the people who camp the item, well i dont know why but if that's how they want to play it then fine after all they paid for the game so they can play it however they want to.


    Personally i don't really consider it a dick move to camp the item i just consider it time wasted but thats just my opinion.


    In a much broader scale of why people still need to do dickish things well that's just a downside to online multiplayer and anonymity

    "Franklin's already did it's job perfectly."

    It didn't. The biggest reason to bring Franklin's is keys, and old Franklin's just meant they had to go back to where they were hit at ANY POINT during the match to still get the hatch.

    New Franklin's means keys actually have realistic counterplay now.

    by being a dick they're basically handing to you the game. Waiting still for a full minute? Only at lower ranks...

    I never use Franklin's. For some people it might be useful, but for me it is a waste of a perk slot. There are so many other perks I would put on before it. With all the tracking, obsession, exposed, chase, and other perks out there, Franklin fixes a niche problem that only has variable effect on the game. I get bringing it if you see 4 toolboxes and multiple keys, but if you focus all your time on items you will not be getting the kills. Let them play their game, and I will play mine. I have also never seen camping items work in high rank games. Gens are going too fast to waste time letting that item deplete. Besides, the only person who usually know where the item is is the person you just hit. Down them and hook them. So much of that item will be gone by the time they get back.

    You must be very idealistic or naive if you think a killer is going to sit down and just camp your item for 90 seconds.


    Even if your item gets knocked out during an early stage of the game that is enough time to complete a gen there are 4 survivors that is 4 generators completed with 10 seconds or so left to spare and that's considering they don't get great skill checks or have any speed modifiers.


    If a killer actually decides to camp your item they are basically throwing you the game. They might as well just open an exit gate
