Why are we giving windows and Franklins in lights out
The mode was one of the most balanced mode for both sided both sides having to rely on there eyes ears and instincts to get things done and to escape or kill. So why are we giving windows to survivors and Franklin's to killers there is supposed to be 0 perks in this mode. Why change a perfect mode.

It's hardly a perfect mode. If it was this would not be only the third iteration of it in over 2 years since it was introduced.
You could always see gen and hook auras as killer, so there were points of reference and it wasn't as disorientating. As survivor, there was nothing. You couldn't even see the auras of downed or hooked team mates. People forget how unpopular this mode actually was. It was more frustrating than fun, that's why everyone stopped playing it and we haven't seen it in 2 years. Having something to guide you so you can actually play might actually keep people playing this time around.
I dunno if most of the people complaining weren't actually here the first time around or have short memories.
Probably because no one played it last time
i'm reading the patch notes killers don't get franklins only survivors get free windows which they shouldn't get
except the gen was at 5% so you could hear it if you wanted to fumble in the dark instead of using a candle
And you still have that option this time around. Survivors will only get aura reading when holding a candle, and killers will get Franklin's (not sure if this has been released officially or if we are all inadvertently discussing leaks here, but basekit Franklin's is in this mode so killers can remove aura reading from survivors)
You can hardly call Lights Out perfect if it is the least liked mode out of the modifiers we had so far. And by a good margin. The thing is, mainly Survivors did not play the mode, because getting no clues at all was not really enjoyable. So obviously you then change things for Survivors, because the other alternative would be to scrap the mode, since it makes no sense to have it when only one side wants to play it.
Might mean that they will bring more things for Survivor or that they will remove the visibility of Pallets in the next iteration, after all those modifiers are a lot of testing around what will stick.
it's a leak the patch notes says nothing about franklins
Killers are not getting Franklin's giving survivors WoO while holding the candle is fair it's a high risk high reward item for them. If they want to see the map they themselves become easy to see by the killer.
The devs really need to disable Ghost Face and Meyers for this mode as well as they basically have sight hacks which I feel was the most frustrating part of lights out.
They should also ban Legion because they can see survivors with killer instinct. Also they should ban trapper because his traps are impossible to see in this mode. Also they should ban Wraith because it's so dark I can't see his shimmering even when he's close because it's dark
Also they should ban Sadako because her phasing will be impossible to see in the dark and it's unfair. Also they should ban Dredge, because what would Midnight do? Make it so dark we can't see anything? Also they should ban Bubba and Billy because it's unfair that they can just walk up on us with no terror radius and insta down us.
Also they should ban Cenobite because finding the box in the dark would be impossible.
I can't remember but Legions power can't detect anyone when they have no terror radius same with Doctors static blast being tied to his TR. Dredge guess could be banned since it also highlights survivors during nightfall. Some other killers like Trapper just take a candle with you so you can see. Not being left completely blind.
