Why do survivors waste pallets?

Every match I my teammates with Bond, they just run to a pallet, stand at it until the killer gets close and they slam it down then run to the next pallet. They're looping, they're not even stunning the killer they're4 just slamming them for no reason. Then when I get chased I have nothing to work with. Why don't they loop even just a little bit before dropping the pallet?

    My guess is youtube. There are several videos about how successful predroping is. Spoiler: it's only good if you know what you are doing and good at looping anyway.

    It gets better the higher you get in mmr.

    Pre dropping works because you don't sacrifice the distance you get every time you make a new tile. Someone tell these players that, please

    Depends on the killer. A lot of recent killer designs are a likely hit if the killer uses the power correctly and the survivor loops. Anti-loop killers are a catch22. Because then survivors will elect to not loop in the first place.

    Always wondered this myself. Even more annoying is when they get hit, and then drop the pallet anyway.. just take the speed boost, leave the pallet up, and run to the next tile.

    STOP DROPPING PALLETS RIGHT AFTER YOU GET HIT. THERE IS LITERALLY NO POINT. (For those that need to see that.)
