DC Penalty in form of NEGATIVE BP
Hello!,
so I think that it is good that we are getting a DC penalty. However I've seen them in many games such as HOTS, Overwatch, R6, DotA2 and time penalties do not really do much for people because they'll just go play a different game, watch an episode of their favourite series or anime or some other activity.
In short, it's not really a punishment if there is nothing of impact happening for the player that is being punished.
To get this impact to happen I think there should be a negative Blood Point penalty that works as follows:
Disconnecting this many times will add a negative BP number to an account. The account needs to earn that many bloodpoints to earn actual blood points again:
- 12000 BP
- 24000 BP
- 48000 BP
- 96000 BP
- 196000 BP
- 392000 BP
And so on. I think that players will think twice about disconnecting when there is a very harsh BP punishment in place. DBD Players love progressing through their bloodwebs and no time out in the world impedes that. If you add a punishment like this (not these exact numbers) then I sincerely believe that people will disconnect a lot less.
Hypothesis: "Player A disconnects two matches in a row because they are unhappy for whatever reason. Now player A is facing a 12000+24000 blood point penalty on their account. The next 36000 blood points that they earn are not added to their account for use in the Bloodweb."
That is how this would work. I do not hold anything against people using their shards to "Bail them out" because this sort of punishment gets bigger and bigger with every consecutive disconnect to the point that even if they used 8000 shards in the shrine of secrets it wouldn't bail them out anymore after 7-8 disconnects. It would also be a gross waste of their shards in my opinion which is a punishment all of itself.
Let me know what you think!

Maybe a normalized penalty of minus 50K Blood points per DC would be a good idea too.
