All These People Crying About Franklin's Demise

Question. Why does franklins still say this? Is the updated FD not in live?

It won't destroy items anymore, it just drains the charges of the item.
It's ok against every item except for keys (keys don't require any charges to open hatch).

I actually use Franklin's quite a bit whenever it pops up on a killer. That thing has saved my ass more times than I care to count. In fact I run it on Freddy so that when I pop up at a gen being worked on I can smack the toolboxes out of people's hands.
In fact one game I had with Freddy, there was a David in the lobby that pulled that cheap swap items trick at the last second and swapped to a key. So at that moment I decided, yeah I'm gonna tunnel him and make sure that key is destroyed. The game worked out well. Tunneled him, camped the key until it was gone and resumed.
Same thing for me last night too. I run Franklin's on Wraith and I caught a Felix who had been hiding all game holding a key (which explained why he was hiding all game). Franklin's came in clutch and helped with that game too.
So yeah this nerf seems extremely unnecessary. Just because the big streamers and sweat lords don't use it on their Nurse and Spirit builds, doesn't mean that others who just play for fun or are playing killers who have to make do with the talents they have, don't use it. It was a great anti-item perk. But now? I dunno... just a shame that there are no actual hard counters to keys now.

Given how much charge different items have, Franklin's will now mainly affect med kits. I'm fine with the change, though it is skewed that keys are the one loophole of the rework.

What are you even saying. You're too busy flipping through your dictionary that you forgot to actually put a point to your comment.

Not to rain on your parade, but I dodge if I see a Key, or someone last-second Key-swaps.
I cannot STAND Keys snd the potential of them knocking out 3 gens within 2 minutes, before I can even get a hook, and then having 2+ escapes when I can't even stop it.
I know it isn't guaranteed, but when you have a night like I did last night, where all four matches I played had a Key show up somewhere in there, it becomes quite aggravating.

How are people knocking out 3 gens in 2 minutes without you intervening?
I know it doesn't mean you main the killer, but Blight in your pfp is a perfect example of a killer who shreds this very concept. You can literally go around the map and harass everybody on gens. Most of my red rank games end with 0 - 2 gens complete.
Majority of the games that progress further than that are because I'm either playing poorly or it's just a bad Blight map.
Very few times it's because of a survivor sweatsquad "genrushing" doing 3 gens in 2 minutes. You shouldn't be wasting so much time chasing a single survivor and should have the awareness to give up and check other gens if this is such a problem for you.
Your comment doesn't even sound like keys being the problem, the problem is you're just not playing well and there's places where you can improve.
The problem is you, you're just projecting it on the keys which again, are not the reason you're losing games.
