Why is it ok for the killer to have to guess but not survivors?
Anytime you have to mind game at a medium or tall wall its a 50/50 coin flip on what the survivor is going to do. This is every killer at most tiles so how come this is ok?

It's a 50/50 for both sides and it's all about reads that both sides have to make. Survivors have most of the control against pure M1 killers but it's not like killers don't have any control.

These changes make spirit Guess while survivors will have clear information.

But not really the survivors has the 3dr person camera to see more plus the red stain the best you can do is try to bait it and hope it works out for you.

Think of it like both sides have 2 choices, A and B. If both choose the same the killer wins, if they choose differently survivor wins. 50:50's are a two sided interaction, both sides have to guess.

TL walls and shack are both balanced because they allow reads for both sides. The problem isn't whether the survivor has control in the chase, it's map size, gen speeds, and spawns that makes it survivor sided.

Shack is fair? If u quit all holes where as kilker can see me it would be fairer.

It's fair in the sense that it's a good structure for survivors to use but it's useless when the pallet is gone.

You still have to mind game it and its going off the last position the survivor was and hoping they make x move.
Shack is way survivor side as intended its easier to see a killers red stain through the cracks than a survivor.

Yeah, using the red stain to try to confuse the survivor is kinda the definition of a mind game.

Thats my point your using it guessing that the survivor will bite if not you guessed wrong. The survivors generally have more info because of 3rd pov and red stain not to mention the bug when survivors are on the other side of the wall it almost mutes any sounds they make. Its really up to the survivor to make the mistake you are just trying to force the mistake.
My point is look up any video on how to mind game and they will warn you that they are just 50/50 which is coin flip gameplay.

Me the killer let me use some mind game at this loop the survivor response i will just hold w until i go down and if the killer is to close i drop the pallet

It's still so strong when the pallet is gone.

Exactly or they mess up and continue the loop and you get a hit. Its 50/50 for the killer and isn't that by definition coin flip gameplay?

Nah as soon as you figure out how to position at the shack window to always get the fast vault you can´t get hit by an M1 before entity blocks it and the pallet has been kicked, period. Many killers are forced to instantly leave chase if you reach shack unless they want to throw the game because you clicked at them or sth lol. Obviously there are exceptions like blight, huntress, nurse etc who can deal with shack quite well.

This is why I just run bamboozle on every killer.
