Not Sure How Hard This Would Be To Implement But...

Could people who DC possibly have the ability to rejoin the match within a certain time frame? Since the main complaint from many is that you are punished for the game crashing I feel like this could be a possible solution. I also believe that the punishments become a bit to harsh at a certain point. But that's another topic.

    This would be a cool idea. Maybe like overwatch where they have 3 min to rejoin match?

    The DC’er could use that to make the killer go away and just go back in the game

    I believe that this could be fixed by the husk system. Your still punished but the husks operate in a way where you can join back regardless if your on a hook or the floor.

    I've thought about this before as well, but the problem is DbD is quite a fast-paced game, even if it doesn't always feel like it when you're in it. A minute makes a lot more difference in DbD than it does in, say, League, which is another game I know where this is a feature.

    Having said that, I don't really see how this would be much worse than going AFK for a minute, and a temporarily absent teammate is better than a permanently eliminated one.

    So maybe you're onto something here.

    I feel as though we’d encounter the following exploit fairly often if this were made:

    • killer downs survivor.
    • survivor DCs.
    • killer goes and finds someone else
    • survivor loads back in and keeps playing

    Seeing as the DCed bodies can’t be interacted with, it’d be extremely easy to abuse that with reloading in. So while this could potentially be a useful feature, it would need to be after the “husk” system the devs have mentioned in the past was implemented, so the DCed surv could still be hooked and killed.
