| Actual Result: |
Pallet drop begins animation but is cancelled if the killer gets into hitbox
|
| Expected Result: |
The pallet should still throw regardless. Like I said I dont care about getting hit during the throw but theres no reason that the pallet drop gets interrupted.

Explanation
Pallet drop get cancelled after character gets into position. I really don't know if this is a bug or a new feature but I need to know so I can play better. Simply put, lately I will have the prompt to throw down the pallet. My character will literally move into position to throw pallet. Killer is suddenly "blocking the pallet" and nothing will happen. I'm not talking about getting hit while throwing the pallet. I'm not talking about suddenly not getting the prompt because the killer blocks it. I'm talking about literally being in animation to throw a pallet and everything just stops and I'm stuck basically in an animation lock with no animation and just go down. Why am I not rewarded throwing the pallet when I clearly hit the prompt to throw the pallet. I wouldnt care if i still get hit mid throw, that happens all the time. But I clearly had the prompt, my character physically moves into the position to throw the pallet, then nothing happens and I get hit.
Please specify is this is intended mechanics or a bug because in the 5 years I've played this game I've only recently been experiencing this. Will upload more videos as I find them.
