Respecting Pallets

Edgars_Raven

So in the past ive never respected pallets. We loop, if you get greedy and dont throw it youre getting hit, if you do throw and im in range i lunge and hope for a stun/hit trade.

Ptb patch notes:

I guess im just wondering if i need to start respecting pallets more? Like, how does this actually work?

Lets say i press the hit button a millisecond before they throw pallet, does my hit just not count now because the stun is incoming? If so respecting pallets more may be necessary. Anyone on the ptb able to test how this works?

The point at which the stun occurs has not changed at all...so basically the pallet still needs to be roughly 50% dropped before the killer is stunned. So greeding for pallets can still get you hit through them if you're dropping them too late.

Basically it means that you're probably going to get hit in the head a lot more instead of getting any trades in. All in all a nerf for M1 Killers as you're going to be trained to respect pallets more which will in turn waste more of your time. I think. I'm not sure how this is going to impact the stunned at the same time as your lunge hits from Killer perspective scenario.

Going to feel a lot better as Survivor though since you're going to be able to camp pallets with more impunity.

Yeah nerfing trades is really going to hurt, respecting pallets is traditionally a bad move but yeah not sure what to do here

Ahhh alright then. That should be ok then. I guess ill see what it feels like when it comes out but i wasnt sure of the mechanics. Thanks

im still interested in deathslinger. cause they throw the pallet down after i hit them...what would happen in that situation?

After you hit them with m1 or m2?

with the m2, the gun. quite the inverse of a situation i guess. instead of the killer getting stunned, i guess technically the survivor would? idk.

If i don't get every hit at a pallet with 15 ping then everything said about how this works is a lie tbh... Even the 50% down rule is already a lie at this ping since i get frozen and teleported backwards the moment is starts to move.

They also increased the stun radius and said nothing... I am being stunned while outside the walls on the ___I---L tiles and it never reached that far before.

I imagine the pallet would drop if its started cutting you off but idk
