Salty killer "Pallet Camper"
I main killer. But play alot of surv with my wife and friends. A 600-700 hour killer main shut talked me after the game accusing me of pallet camping. Is this a thing? Do normal killers get triggered getting pallets slammed in their face? Bare in mind he was a spirit.
I only ask because I play bubba so people tend to this them early and if I get stunned I don't care, it gets the pallet out of the game. So maybe I'm just out of touch.

Lol Pallet Camping, thats a new one.
I main killer and I can assure you, I don't get mad at "Pallet Camping", as the survivor either plays it well or they don't. If they throw it while I'm trying to walk through it and I get hit because I didn't notice them, thats on me.
I think this killer was just angry in general and was looking for something to whine about. If they aren't playing the pallet correctly, then they deserve to get hit with it.

Survivors flame those who pallet camp as that is consider a waste, I dont understand why you would do it as killer?

I take plenty of pallet stuns because I don't respect #########.
Doesn't bother me, 1 less to worry about later.

Its obnoxious and can get on my nerves, but whenever I play against pallet campers, I usually demolish them later in the game because the whole map is a dead zone.

As far as I know "pallet camping" usually refers to someone that just runs to a pallet, waits for the killer to catch up and then drops it. An extremely safe way of playing, but it also eats through pallets really fast so it can backfire really badly and will probably make more survivors annoyed at you than killers, honestly.
Not sure if that in particular is what you did. If they're just mad enough about getting stunned in general to whine post-game that's pretty silly. Especially while playing spirit, as survivors are more likely to use pallets in "non standard" ways against her with how her power works. More early drops, more drop+vault trickery while she's phasing, that sorta thing.

There is a term for Pallet Camping. It's when a survivor instead of running a loop they go to the Pallet of the loop and move side to side - depending on which side the Killer switches to come from, trying to get a lunge attack in. In theory this would make a survivor invunerable, because Lunge Attack = Drop Pallet on Killer, but nay. If the Killer wait's and then Lunges unexpectedly the server will recognize the hit before the pallet drop. Thus the Survivor getting hit and a pallet being wasted.

Because it's actually an uncounterable winning stratagey if your teammates are doing gens. It's like tunneling, but effective in all situations.

Yh but its the games fault. Why should i blame a survivor for it? Its frustrating and boring with killer like pig, but the recent map changes making it better.

Yeah, that's sort of true, but also it is a deliberate course of action that someone is choosing to take. It's like DS - if you jump in a locker with it, that's not just the game at fault. Because, as with holding W and pallet camping, you are very deliberately exploiting said fault. So that's two faults - the game for letting it happen, and the person for forcing it to despite having other options.

Yh you could do other things. I didnt use old ds bc of that.
But pallets are a gameplay mechanic. When i choose not to abuse it, i give the devs false data. Then they wouldnt change it.
I almost never pallet camp bc i play solo and i never trust my team to be efficient, but when im on deathhook or all gens are done, i dont take a unnecessary risk.
