Lockers are extremely underrated imo
I use them all the time and killers never end up checking them since they dont excpect anyone to be in a locker
Whats your opinion on hiding in lockers?

I think you mostly have a higher chance hiding in a locker than hiding elsewhere or running when killer is close. Especially in the very beginning because killer never search lockers the first thing he does unless you left scratch marks.
As long as your careful about scratchmarks and not hiding in the nearest locker to the gen youve been working on you should be good
Lockers are a gamble. I've watched plenty of Survivors throw games by giving the Killer free grabs trying to make a cheeky locker play.
It really depends on the situation. There needs to be a reason for killers to want to check a locker. Going to a generator that clearly has been worked on, but seeing no scratchmarks? They might have walked away, so gotta check around first, if you dont hear any breathing or dont see any distant scratchmarks, they might be in a locker. Or are you in a chase and the scratchmarks magically disappear without you having heard a speedvault: well, they obviously have Quick and Quiet, but did they use the locker or the vault? They likely would have used the locker instead, so you check the locker before Head-On has time to trigger.
The only other reason to check lockers is because of Whispers. Other than that, yeah, lockers are a safe way for a killer to pass you. That doesnt make them underrated in general. Just underused, as you might aswell be hiding in a different corner because you know killers will eventually check lockers, allowing for an easy escape.
Lockers are the kinda thing that are so bad they become good cause nobody expects them
