When to drop Pallet when running

I am curious if I am dealing with lag or pallet dropping prompts are different depending on if you are walking or running. If you look at the picture, I can drop a pallet if walking or crouching no matter if I am at the 0,1,2,3, or 4 position. If I am running (in this case the direction of the arrow) and I come to a pallet, I will not get the prompt to drop the pallet until I am just past position 3; somewhere between 3 and 4. This makes it hard during a chase to drop the pallet.
While talking about pallets, I think the whole pallet drop positioning thing is goofy. The idea if you drop a pallet directly on a killer who is standing under it, it will just push him to safety. I know killers will get upset, but I am of the mindset if a pallet hits a killer it should stun them no matter where they are standing. In real world physics the 2. position would be the best time and place to hit a killer, not the safest spot for a killer.

I would also add I find it odd that half the time I drop a pallet and I am at the 3 or 4 position the game will push me to the far side of the pallet (the side furthest from my current position), the 0. position in the picture, even though I dropped it from the other side.

They removed pallet vacuum ages ago, you only being able to drop the pallet at the 3 or 4 position while running is normal and has been normal for ages.
For walking or crouching, it vacuums you to the closest side of the pallet.
Not lag :L

So to be clear, Ignore the position of the killer in the picture, now instead imagine he is coming at me from inside the killer shack. I know I can walk up and drop the pallet on him from the 0-4 positions. I do this all the time walking, usually from the 1 position. But you are saying the game is designed so I can not run up and drop the pallet at 0,1,or 2; that I actually need to run past the pallet until I am on the same side as the killer at the 3 or 4 position? So pallets do operate differently based off of if you are running or walking?
And also to clarify sometimes the game vacuums you to the side you are closest to, but sometimes it vacuums you to the side furthest from you. I am trying to figure out how the game decides which side to vacuum you to. This happens if I am walking or running. Pallets are weird, sometimes I will be in front of a locker, I will get the prompt to enter the locker and instead it will drop the pallet and vice a versa sometimes I will be standing right next to the pallet, get the prompt to drop the pallet, and I will jump in the locker.

1 through 4 should work.
However the body will shove you out of the pallet drop area so you have to be on the opposite side of where the killer is.
If the killer sees you on the other side he probably isn't going to walk into it so usually the only pallet saves you are going to get are when he just picked a survivor up under one.

Oh you mean when the killer is at the pallet?
In that case you need to stop running yes, if you run to the 0 position and you are still in the running animation, you won't be able to drop the pallet. That is normal.

I guess a less wordy way to put it:
Walking or crouching you can drop a pallet at 0-4, but if running you always have to run completely past the pallet before you get the prompt to drop.

Got it, so pallets are designed to work differently if you are walking or running.

They need to fix the teleporting back pallet drop. It's a tech aka exploit that's been in the game for months.
