Obsession of god pallets

Yeah, some people are absurd. I've had people lambaste me in chat or even sandbag me in game for using shack pallet. It's like... my guy, I got some rounds in before I threw it and I stunned the killer with it. What more do you want from it? If you're just gonna worship it, the god pallet doesn't do you any good.

I think what it boils down is this. Every player has a different metric for when it's okay to take a health state and when it's not, and generally, as people get better at the game, that criteria becomes more exacting. (Like most players start out scared of everything and wanting to heal as soon as they get injured, but eventually people will become more comfortable with the idea of staying injured, or taking a health state to protect someone else, or committing to finish a gen, or using themselves as bait... etc.) Fast forward to god pallets, where some people have it fixed in their minds that it's better for a player to go down than use shack pallet before X gens have been done, because shack pallet will singlehandedly clutch the game at 1 gen left even if shack might be nowhere near the action anymore. Or whatever.

On the one hand, I do understand the broad point - stakes are higher in the lategame and saving resources is crucial. But at the same time, me ending up in basement at 4 gens left because I didn't use shack pallet could kill the team just as dead as not having it later on. Mostly, trying to micromanage solo queue teammates is a fool's errand. It's a dynamic game with unique players and it's pointless to get mad at people for not living up to super exacting standards. As long as your teammates aren't super incompetent or directly getting you killed, you need to roll with what they're doing instead of fighting them to prove a point.

I ignore people who say wasting pallets if you ask me that's a concept that doesn't exist

actually I would only consider "wasting" a pallet is immediately dropping a pallet after getting hit once while healthy

Pallet economy is a very real thing.

...but it just so happens that most maps spawn with enough pallets for you to throw them with reckless abandon.

I'm just thinking from the killer pov. Nobody's even looped shack and the first person I chase there instadrops it. I'm like, "Ooh, that's nice."

I've seen that happen before as killer

people sandbagging the obviously new person for using a high calibre pallet

sometimes I save shack pallet so much, when I'm in end game, I pass by shack and I still see the pallet up.

then I wonder why the hell did I save it

"Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today!"

Hey man i got several classes to sleep through or spend typing up a satire rulebook if i ever feel motivated to do more than stare into space and think about playing the hit game Final Fantasy 14 for upwards of 8 hours straight.

I think it's because experienced survivors know how busted 'god pallets' can be so they like to reserve them for later in the game when there's more pressure. It is a little frustrating when you see someone waste a really good pallet when they get hit anyway or don't even loop it, but I'd never be rude to someone about it. No one's 100% perfect at the game, and when it's a baby survivor we were all like that once.

The exception is the Game: throw every pallet you see on that map because they're basically infinite and there are at least 4 god pallets on the forsaken map lol.

There should be no such thing as a god pallet.There are too many pallets anyway.Why should there be pallets that a killer can do absolutely nothing at?The pallets are so close together you can just run to another.Pallets should automatically break after use and 1 vault.Game should not be determined by survivors running from pallet to pallet,pressing 1button and getting a mile away.
