"Fixed an issue where Survivors could clip into Killers during the pickup animation"

This is a horrible and detrimental change to survivors, especially in solo queue, specifically for pallet saves but also flashbangs and flashlights. Made an account just to post this and I cant believe nobody else is speaking about this.

Pallet saves are now incredibly difficult to get since the downed survivor will need to crawl to the opposite side of the pallet from the saving survivor for even a chance of getting the save, but 80% of the time from my experience, the killer is just too big and bodyblocks the pallet. Survivors not in comms will struggle heavily against this because they cannot communicate which side of the pallet to crawl to for the save. This used to be only an issue for something like a CJ Tech, but now for something as simple as a pallet save (which you promote doing in your own game tutorial). This also sometimes leads to survivors taking unnecessary health states or going down because they think they can get the save but cant.

Flashbang and firecracker users now also suffer from this change. For example, if the killer faces a wall, one of the perks of bringing this perk or item was that you can get a blind save even if the killer is facing a wall. But now you physically cannot drop it infront of them due to the killer having collision. This can even have an effect on flashlight users, since u cant run through the killer if theyre in a tight spot to get infront of them for the blind. This change heavily nerfs any form of killer grasp rescues, which makes the game stale and unfun.

This is one of the few changes which had a large negative impact on me, another example being flashlight locker saves. If this doesnt get reverted I cant imagine flashbang or firecrackers being used much at all anymore, which may lead to some people getting bored or even quitting the game, including myself. Hope this gets read because this change is NOT healthy for the game in my opinion.
