Exactly. Everyone acts like weave franklins is so easy to counter. “Just move the item to a corner!” Okay so we are supposed to run around the map looking for dropped items as if it’s super easy when the area of affect is a radius and there’s no aura on the item? Do you know how many times I’ve run around inside of the weave area looking for the item and couldn’t find it? Meanwhile the killer sees me the entire time. And if you’re on a map with multiple levels it works thru that, so you’re looking for an item that may not even be on the same floor. If you are lucky enough to find the needle in the haystack, you pick it up you’re not only oblivious, but the killer sees you and now you can’t hear them coming. All of this means you’re also not on gens. Thats a high priced “counter” that usually costs you the match, going on item scavenger hunt.

Also the “just don’t bring an item!” thing is disingenuous because you’re handicapping yourself going into the match without bringing something to help. Not bringing items is like the killer not bringing their add-ons. You can do it but you’re going into the match at a deficit.

That’s not a reasonable counter whatsoever.

The counter IS easy though, the perk tells you exactly when it is in effect. The survivor that dropped the item should know where it is because they got hit and dropped the item. It takes maybe 15 seconds to move the item to a corner and drop it, and then what happens? Now the killer has 2 perks instead of 4.

Would you rather they run 4 slowdowns instead? Because quite literally every single time some new perk combo comes out for killers, survivors complain until it disappears, and guess what? Back to 4 slowdowns it is, because every other killer perk is basically worthless.

I remember when Moris got nerfed and we waited a year for key nerfs.You can wait a few months for weave attunement nerf after distortion changes.

Distortion was hardly a counter to Weave and Franklin's considering the fact Weave just eats through Distortion tokens.

The only actually counterplay to the combo is just moving the items to an out of the way location, which can be done with any set of perks; or running Boon: Shadow Step, which nobody does even though it's pretty decent.

In that regard, the only change Weave needs is for the items to be displayed to Survivors since many SoloQ players dont understand the concept of countering Weave and just leave items everywhere or in awful locations.

Exactly, also same with Lethal Pursuer, why are they nerfing Distortion when all those perks are still in the game? They need to nerf a ton of aura reading perks if they willing to go through with it.

Again it is nowhere near this simple, especially because you can’t know exactly where your survivor team dropped items. Also again, weave works thru floors so I could be in weave range and looking on the wrong floor and have no clue. And as I pointed out in my initial post, ALL of this is time away from gens or helping teammates. Throwing the match for this is not a counter.

I explained all this already. Your suggestion leads to throwing matches to go hunt down items to move them around the map, meanwhile being visible to the killer and being oblivious.

Weave Attunement is literally fine. Dedicating half your build to a gimmicky aura reading build thats easily countered by taking 10 seconds to walk to the edge of the map… Yeah doesn't really need to be touched.

Every word of this is incorrect.

Dedicating half your build

Survivors who are going to "play around" this will see weave and assume you have franklin's. You can literally get full value with just weave right now.

gimmicky aura reading build

Showing nearly permanent auras has already been determined to be a bad idea. See also: old object.

easily countered by taking 10 seconds to walk to the edge of the map

You lose access to your item, you have to reveal your aura to the killer right away (so free lethal pursuer), you're oblivious, and you aren't on gens immediately (free slowdown).

So the killer gets the value of having aura read of lethal, initial slowdown like CI, and that's not only if survivors are "playing around" this combo, but it does even more of they don't.

Sounds like 3 or 4 perks in the slot of two (or even just one, since, as I already said, survivors will see weave at the start and assume you have franklin's).

Yeah doesn't really need to be touched

Absolutely needs to be adjusted.

You guys know you can put down your item immediately and check for Weave Attunement right?

You now have a choice, take the item to the corner and leave it there for later when you need it, or try and consume the item before the killer finds you, then ditch the item.

I still maintain Weave Attunememt itself is not why anyone is mad. It's simply that everyone hates Franklin's, they always have, but Franklin's was kinda weak as a perk. Weave Attunement makes Franklin's viable, thus people hate WA.

If WA has to be changed, one thing that would help out soloQ would be: you see the aura of the item when it's revealing you.

Franklin's by itself causes an item blockade, but yeah, you spend 60 seconds total to eliminate 2 of the killer's perks. Now imagine instead of those 2 perks they ran 2 slowdown perks instead like:

• Deadlock (80 seconds of gen time)
• Pain Resonance (72 seconds of gen time)
• Grim embrace (70 seconds of blocking ALL gens)

Would you rather they run 4 of those perks instead?
