Am I Justified in DCing?
(Console) I know DCing isn’t okay etc etc anyways
I got into a lobby of apparently 3 people who were working with the killer. To elaborate one of the players was with me running around throwing pallets down killer comes over, and the player starts body blocking me from vaulting the pallets/windows. I manage to avoid her a couple times but then the 2 other players come running over and start to push me away from any vaulting areas.
Killer knocks/hooks me stands there and stares at me one of the girls unhooks me and as I run away the girls block me again I get knocked and get moried. I DCd right as the animation started because I wasn’t going to give them the kill, but all 3 girls started t bagging me. I spectated after I DCd, and they were all still there t bagging and running around my body then I left. I went to the killers profile and sure enough all 4 of them were in a party together.
Im assuming the killer probably got the kill anyway since the animation had started. But anyways I waited for what felt like forever to get a lobby just to get screwed over horribly. I dunno I feel like it was a justified DC tbh I don’t see how that game was fair to me at all. I reported all of them to but most likely nothing will happen to them.

Report all of them and provide video evidence if possible.

I did report them but unfortunately my stupid self didn’t think to record the game which would’ve been a smart thing to do. Cuz taking someone’s word for it is kinda hard to believe without proof to some.

There is no such thing as a justified DC. DC's bad. period. That's why it has a penalty. In your case waiting a few more seconds of an animation would make no difference.
However 1 DC is of course a minor thing that's why the penaly in only 5 min. But what they did is enough to warrant a permanent ban. If possible record and report such behaviour.

I doubt very many people are going to blame you for DCing in that situation (though at that point it seems more like you're just cutting your nose to spite your face as you were in the process of being killed and now you get to sit there for five minutes with the penalty).
It's just a shame you didn't get video because a whole lot of nothing is going to happen to them for what they did. So hopefully next time they do it, you (or whoever they are doing it to) will remember to get some video proof to submit to BHVR.

Just wait until the animation ends its not that hard. Cryquit is never justified
If you were stuck in the game or fell through a map maybe close the game but a cryquit nah.

You better hold on tightly, or you gonna break a bone when you fall off your high horse. The OP did nothing wrong. And some thing can be penalized unjustly. The existence of a penalty isn't a justification in and of itself. Open a history book for plenty of examples.

A lot of people on here will say that survivors never have a reason to DC. I don't blame you for DCing if your teammates were trying to purposefully get you killed. Hope you have better luck in future matches :(

Thanks for your concern, I'll do just that.
The point was that OP dc-d 5 seconds before he'd be out of the game anyway. Was there a point? I don't see one.
Also don't try to reverse my logic please. I said "DCs are bad - that's why they have a penalty", I've never said "Anything that has a penalty is bad." And are we seriously talking historical injustices in regards of a minor issue in a video game?
I'll admit that one thing which I said was wrong: there can one case of a justified DC - if you don't have any other way to exit the game. But DC-ing 5 seconds before you're out anyway is 100% not that case.

DCs aren't justifiable [sic], but I definitely sympathise with your experience. That's blaitant abuse of the Killer and Survivors working together, which if it is towards bullying another, completely unacceptable. Best thing to do is just walk away from the game and do something else until your character dies, after setting up a recording for the report.
Just remember: this is a very small and insignificant minority who play like little children in this toxic manner. Most are pretty decent. Hopefully, this hasn't put you off entirely. With luck, although you didn't record them, another survivor did.

You only hurt yourself by DCing that way tbh you probably just gave them what they wanted. altough i can see why you would in that situation
The real answer is that wheter or not the DC was justified is irrelevant, there is no way to track if you got sandbagged and this happens to little to be of concern
Use this as a lesson to try and keep your cool next time and record them doing this. Then it's you who has the last laugh
