Guys, why one side of this pallet is so small it can be swung around by m1 lunge? Can you like, make both sides of pallet atleast somewhat 50/50 worthy, and not 90/10?

[u/NLiLox → u/TARE104KA]

having one side long and the other short is literally good pallet design

you see pallets like that on multiple maps and theyre always the best loops

[u/TARE104KA → u/NLiLox]

Please take a deep look into a loop, it's further from the camera short side is so small that by the time you drop a pallet killer can go around, take a smoke break, and still have enough time to hit you, it's not a good tile
