Pallet changes have shortened chases by a lot

These changes were good for noob killers who faced experienced survivors and killers that faced swf squads with flashlights, etc. It will definetely give them a better experience.
However, this creates a huge problem for good killers, like myself and many others, since it's no longer a challenge to catch a survivor (except swf). I kill all 4 with great ease.
Meanwhile on the other side, the most exciting part of this game, as the devs themselves stated, were the chases. The chases are extremely short, you can still escape if the team gen rushes and finds Ruin in time, but there is no longer something exciting about this game.
There is also the big issue that the very few pallets that are left, most are unsafe and most are used by the first person being chased, which means that the other 3 survivors won't stand a chance when being chased and have an overall bad experience.
It's the first time since Hag DLC (when I started playing), that I am no longer having fun with this game, neither with killer or survivor.
I know killers needed some love, but it seems to me you went too far and balanced the game around swf, which is not good for solo players.
I predict this will lead to more survivors playing swf (and more dissapointed killers) or a lot of people will stop playing on both sides (good killers and casual survivors).

    Give people time to adapt. I'm still seeing many people having poor timing on dropping Pallets because they are getting hit.

    I would say people just started to learn how these new pallets work. Already experience some well done stuns etc. We should just wait and see what it will be.

    This is complete nonsense and entirely inaccurate OP. Anyone with a decent amount of hours and plays both sides at rank 1 would know how wrong all of that is.
