Killer Stealth + Pallets Idea
I know Pallet looping is a fantastic strategy and all that--but here's a small lil' idea that I feel could make the game more fearful/realistic.
As killers, we all know survivors are going to drop pallets when they can, eventually. So, I propose a small suggestion that, sometimes, if a pallet is dropped ON or DIRECTLY IN FRONT the killer, there is a 15/20/25% chance that instead of getting stunned, the killer sticks his hand out and places it back swiftly, able to catch up to the survivor, and then the Entity blocks the pallet from the survivor for a short amount of time (killers are meant to be powerful and all that).
Benefits:
- More fear for the survivor, they have to think of other tactics than pallet looping, could bring in some more creativity
- More realistic
- More features = fun & less-bland/repetitive games! Especially if the feature is somehow luck-based (like your usually-fatal hook escape attempts finally work and you're like, wow, so you manage to do some cool things).
Disadvantages:
- "Won't fix the pallet looping and survivors will still just go around and around until the pallet is unlocked and drop it again"
---> Response: Well, firstly, that buys time for more survivors, and, to balance it for the killer e v e n t u a l l y, perhaps if the killer manages to save the drop of the same pallet 3 times from the same survivor and 5 times from different survivors, it's blocked permanently from everyone with that Entity gripping black magic thing. Keep in mind this would take a long, dreadful, lucky-for-the-killer game for this to actually happen, so I don't think it's too bad of an idea.
NOTES! Killer perks can increase the chance of them blocking the pallet, Survivor perks can reduce the chance of them blocking the pallet. Maybe some killers are naturally more stealthy than others and have greater chances naturally; Huntress, Pig, Nightmare, Trapper.
