Disconnection penalty

in Feedback and Suggestions

Hello, can I ask the developer here for something? It annoys me that if the internet drops or just a game in the middle of a match, it will give me a penalty for disconnecting. One of my friends today was penalized for 6 hours because his internet connection fluctuates almost every day. His name on Steam is Filigule. Can you please add something to remove this stupid bug? The penalty should only be made when the player really presses the "leave match" button. That's how you could set it up. I will be grateful if you make this change. If not, it sucks even more than when your tunneled by the killer.

    Em... Then that would bring up dc'ing. (in larger scale)

    If you join the match knowing that you have a bad internet connection, you are joining at your own risk.

    Different matter is when you loose connection because of the servers fault.

    So if my internet crashes and it's the provider's fault, should I get a penalty? That's bullshit isn't it? Do you think that someone would deliberately disconnect the Internet so that they do not have a penalty when disconnected? Nobody would do that. And what should the innocent do if they are not to blame? Nothing. They just get a penalty for 5 minutes and then it escalates and they are upset at the game when it gives them a penalty wrong.

    And what if the error is with the provider and not with me?

    Cases like this are extraordinary rare, so they will have to eat 5 minutes and nothing more (queue times sometimes can be longer ;)

    And when it comes to the loosing the internet... people actually were doing it, when you were able to keep the offerings and items when doing so.

    Sadly, they can only take the Penalty :( a DC is a DC and it affects the survivors in-game too, you hate to see it
