Fixing Pallet Loops

Option 1: Give survivors a few seconds of penalty to their pallet vaulting speed for a short while after loud-vaulting a pallet (forces them to do the "sneaky" vault).

Option 2: Same as option 1, except the duration is longer but it only applies to pallets you've jumped over recently.

The end goal of either option is to force a survivor to go between pallets, rather than sticking close to a "safe" one.

Would make pallet loops far less effective while still allowing players to move between pallets the killer hasn't broken to escape. Survivors and Killers shouldn't have to memorize which pallets are safe/unsafe to loop to play, that's the height of tedious esotericism. But survivors should still be able to vault over pallets to get a lead on the Killer. This proposal, I think, balances the two; no loops, but still useful.

Disclaimer: I break every pallet thanks to Brutal Strength (People drop SO many pallets on you as Hag it's fucking ridic) so this change wouldn't really affect me, but using Brutal shouldn't be a requirement to play Killer effectively at higher ranks.
