    Killers have always bee able to hit through pallets. You need to be specific.

    Nah it's the killers version of Decisive it's gonna be happening for 4 years then they'll address it.

    For real tho it's so scummy that even tho I dropped it I still get hit it gives killers an unfair advantage in a chase. That said I find it's only the killers with bad latency issues so when the little bar on the lobby screen is red get the hell out and find an orange or green.

    What's more common than this is the crazy hitbox on pallets where you stand back as killer to avoid the stun and you get stunned anyway. If the killer is hitting you through a pallet drop, he's either lagging hardcore or you're being greedy for the stun and dropping it late.

    Nah I'm gonna be honest I've seen it as killer. A person will fast vault over a pallet they'll literally be all the way on the other side but I'll still get the down. Or they're late pallet slam animation and I'll go straight inside the pallet and hit them wit the tip of my weapon somehow. Seems kinda scummy imo

    This, played against Spirit today, vaulted a pallet took two steps, although when she swung it was supposed to hit the pallet, someone her arm must've magically extended, cuz she hit me. That or Feng Min's hit box is the side of David's body but tilted horizontally.

    For real though, my friend said it's because of how things appear on the killer's end, whether or not it hits from the killer's POV will determine if the hit connects. Even though somehow I get hit when the killer isn't facing me 🙃

    When a hit connects and you drop the pallet at the same time it's a fair hit. You don't become invincible the second you press space, you only stop the killer's action when the pallet is dropped, meaning as you're starting the animation the killer can hit you still and then get stunned.

    It has been a thing forever and should continue being a thing. You need to time your pallet drops and mind your distance form the killer, as all good survivors do.

    I mean, yeah, you're right in a way it is a latency thing, but the ping indicator in lobby is your ping, not the killers.

    You have no way of knowing what the killers ping is for some reason.

    I think it has to do with the net on both sides, killer and survivor. I have hit survivors when i go to hit them and they drop a pallet I hit them and they hit me with the pallet but they are down. I do not think there is anything you can actually do. it does not happen all of the time when i play as killer or survivor.

    Really because I have seen it red before and quit then got into a new match instantly with green. I thought it was a mixture of everyones

    No, it's just your ping. Prolly just your internet being wonky, or the servers being wonky.

    Yeah, the biggest annoyance is that a Spirit can have 300 ping and hit you after you vault and lithe and you cant counter it because she passive phases in and out while lagging hard.
