Remove flashlight saves and revive pallet saves.

Okay for starters flashlight saves are so easy to do rarely do they fail once you know what you're doing which is all the time, plus they're annoying as all hell to deal with and waste so much time + are uncounterable without lightborn. So What I think we should do is remove flashlight saves all together, BUT make it so when you pallet stun a killer no matter what time during the pick up animation they'll drop the survivor AND the pallet will break. This way rescuing is a risky and choicey move do you wanna potentially rescue a survivor and get more time for your team or do you wanna save the pallet for later? Let me know what y'all think.

sir, are you feeling well today?
I disagree as flashlights have so little use as it is. Pretty much the only use you get out of them is flashlight saving. This would just make people dump flashlights entirely and go to toolboxes.
I hate flashlight saves this is a personal preference but I'd seriously like something done about them.
Bait the savior or look at a wall. Flashlight saves are easily countered.
Well they need to do something cause flashlight saves are very easy and very viable.
Except on maps that dont have high walls, coldwind, auto haven, mothers dwelling/Temple of purgation,
it's easier to call this bait and move on than to explain everything wrong with this post
Bait them then. I have no problem countering flashlight saves.
Flashlight saves are easy to avoid (if in a good position) and easy to bait out, though. If you made pallet saves like that, it would literally by like the old flashlight where you could do it whenever.
Instead of actually debating it you send a meme wow I've been defeated.
How're you supposed to bait them it's not like you can fake a pick-up
Or you can d e b a t e
this is devastating
Stand there for a second or two, they will run out since you typically have to start running to the downed person before the pickup animation.
Thats why I had the idea of breaking the pallet. BTW Thank you for being respectful on this :^)
I mean thats very rare and survivors have to be real dumb for it to work.
If they’re chasing you like in your situation then patrol the area and you’d be surprised how well that works.
Flash Light saves are only possible when you are reckless
I normally run infectious or turn around and hit them but then they just flashlight click and pretend like they're running off so I now have to give up the person on the ground and chase the flashlight guy.
Why do so many people think Flashlights are a problem? You see unlike you we know that there are things like WALLS or hitting the saver and getting two downs it's simple.
Slugging applies pressure so I don’t see the problem, this was 2-3 survivors will be distracted 1 survivor is being chased, another is on the ground and another one is saving them.
This actually seems like it’s working in your favor. :^)
This post is a good example of a L2P issue.
Remove item that s being good addition to a game ? An item that change gameplay a bit and not being a chase extender nor allows you to cheese through a game faster?
Are you nuts?
Uncounterable?
If you have a wall nearby, stuff your face in it while you pick them up. If not, just fake the pickup and slug when the flashlighter predictably runs into your view. With the current pick-up speed flashlight saves only happen when there's some serious being in the perfect place at the perfect time going on.

There are plenty of ways to counterplay flashlight savers. If there's someone nearby with a flashlight then they're the ones who are likely the altruistic ones. You have them in your grasp now because they generally reveal themselves. Now you chase the saver while he's lying on the ground and 2 people are either working on gens or one or both are coming to rescue the guy on the ground. You can't "revive pallet saves" because it's very rare that people are even close enough to pallets when picked up, unless slugged.
No, it works. Most of the time survivors will go down by walls, too. Try holding still for a few seconds and look around. Most of the time they start running out to get into position 'cause the timing has to be just right. If you're unsure on how to combat flashlights, maybe try playing around with flashlights in KYF or a normal match? That way you can get a feel for what you have to do and see what other people do to combat flashlights, too. Realistically, most will have green with batteries. Some will have purple, though most take batteries from my experience. Still have to get into position, regardless.
You can also fake out a pallet pick up. Just wait a few seconds, then step out to look around.
You further prove my point you have nothing to actually disprove and are solely here to provoke.
You guys act as if walls are literally always right there and there isn't only 2 maps that are indoor only. There are plenty of maps where flash light saves are EZ no matter what and you also act as if im terrible at this game and only play killer instead of debating.
I never said remove flashlights I said remove their ability to save
If a survivor gets downed near a wall I always face it but a lot of maps currently aren't very wall heavy and this issue seems like itll persist since an increase in unsafe loops mostly means a decrease in high walls in favor of low walls.
