Is it ok for killers to dc on broken maps?
Any red forest,yamakoa,ormond,badham are just ez survior maps.Its not worth the frustration imo.

No but it's not like we could stop you anyway
I've had great games as killers on those maps. I've also had awful games. Maps might give a little advantage to one side or the other (or even advantages or disadvantages specifically depending on your killer) but I'd rather just roll with the punches and give it a try.

I think it's best to not DC.
You need to learn that there's some maps you have the upper hand while others may not give you such an advantage. It's best to play on them to learn more about them and how you CAN win rather than think it's an easy game for the Survivors.
Now, will that stop you? No, you're free to do what you like, you spent your money to play the game you want, but also remember that Survivors also have to deal with the downside of going up against a DC, so just try not to abuse it if you think certain maps are unwinnable. It's best to just try and give it a go.

Yes, especially on the poorly designed maps like haddonfield, and way oversized or too many resource maps like red forest, temple of purgation, fractured cowshed. unless you are playing nurse you can't outplay the game just find another match

Depends if they sent you thereno

No, I've waited to get in a match to have fun and play. Not to wait for butthurt killer to leave the game and end the game prematurely because he doesn't like a specific map. The same thing can be said about survivors. Sore losers

You shouldn't dc based on the map.
The only exception would be if you are playing nurse and it's midwich, because I'm not aware the devs have fixed the bugs that prevent you from blinking down hallways which basically makes that map unplayable as nurse.

Its not ok to dc but those map are a pain in the ass so i dont see the problem with it

Apparently not. We're just supposed to accept that a killer like Nurse is very poorly optimized on every indoor map. Why yes, I obviously wanted to travel two feet with my fully charged blink pointed towards the middle of the map. You couldn't possibly just put me at the furthest possible point. Better just blink me in place. And yes, although I'm looking straight up with a fully charged blink, I obviously intend to travel to the basement. Smile

ragequitting in general is not okay and there is no excuse for that.
you just end up ruining everyone elses game, which is why DCs are being punished (the punishment system is currently deactivated due to a bug, but it will be active again soon)
the only reasons why leaving the game early would be okay would be if something gamebreaking happened / irl problems forced you away from the PC.
some examples:
- hackers
- game taken hostage
- exploit abuse
- loss of internet connection
- irl problems (injuries, sickness, etc.)

Honestly I don’t blame them but for myself I only dc if it’s either a map I literally can’t use the killer I’m playings power or midwhich with object users otherwise I only close app if they force the map through offering but survivors can’t complain they close app on secret offerings all the time

No not really but I totally get why you would do it.

So do they by running op perks and loops on those dumb maps.Do you think that 2 hook game where 5 gens got done in 4 min is fun for me?

Considering there are no maps with lower than 50% kill ratio, I would say no. There are some maps that are worse than others for some killers, but not worth DC'ing. There is only one map I'll afk/DC on and that is Midwitch. I do it because the map physically gives me a headache. Whatever they did with the color pallet there hurts my head. I'm colorblind, so the whole freaking map is one big blur and I can't see windows or breakable walls. So, I go in the courtyard and putz around staring at the ground.
Trust me, I get it. I moan on some maps as a Trapper main. I hate large maps or some indoor ones. But, I still get 2k or more on them.

I dont care about kills.But most games surviors teabag on every pallet or window and I get upset and sad and cant focus :(

It may not be fun but if it is just a few minutes I would say endure it. There is the saying taking one for the (here enemy)team. Right now queue times are good but maybe the other side might have to wait more than 5 minutes to get another game.
And I don't think many people like when someone on their team or the enemy team quits and leaves the game unbalanced.
In general I think when you play a team based multiplayer game you consent to play the round with everybody and they do too. And yes other people DC but if noone starts to break the circle nothing will change.
I also only DC against hackers, exploiters and so on (just 1 fat-shaming spot exploit since release for me, so only 1 intentional DC).

Not really. As annoyed as I get with how often I get coldwind I still play.
It's not ok for survivor to DC either over THE GAME. Even they were sent there by a doctor main.
The ONLY situation where it might be "Justifiable" is vs an Object player on Midwich. They can run you around the hallway and you'll be unable to catch up, meanwhile they're telling their 3 SWF buddies where you are.

Its never ok to DC as long as its not bugged or something.

DCing is only there for emergencies. So no. Crying about what map you got is not an emergency. You win some you lose some. Just because a map is survivor sided, doesn't mean survivors will always do well there.
Everytime I get indoor maps or maps with huge dead zones, I don't cry about it. I just deal with it idc if it's killer sided, I won't DC. Cuz even on these so called survivor sided maps I still tend to lose sometimes. It all depends on the team setup and your skill as killer.

I think the devs need to take a serious look at some of the maps people DC on (Haddonfield, Ormund, the new map) and realize that people DC for a reason. Even the best players out there, even streamers, will outright DC on it.
Fix. The. Bad. Maps. In. This. Game. Fix the maps that can have godlike RNG setups. Fix the maps that are the size of Africa so they're all relatively the same size and you can ACTUALLY balance your game. And for the love of god, both sides hate indoor maps - Stop making them!
You know what else bothers me? They don't make simple maps anymore. They're all overly complicated, they keep trying to reinvent the wheel by making these weird new loops, with breakable walls, or the weird jungle gyms and stuff like on Ormund and Deathslinger's map. Why can't you just make things simple anymore? What happened?

No. If you DC as a form of having to avoid playing on certain maps, you deserve whatever punishments the DC penalties give you IMO.

Badham? I feel like that one’s pretty fair all around. (Unless you meant Lampkin Lane, which could be confused with Badham)
0 -
Totally fair.

You really think badham and yamaoka are survivor sided? Some Badham layouts are considered killer sided by many and the new Yamaoka version is definitly also not survivor sided.
0 -
Survivors DC, or suicide on hook, against killers they don't like, so what's good for the goose should be good for the gander. Doesn't set a good precedence, though.
I do consider Yamaoka, and it's Sanctum variant, to be survivor sided. Most skins can disappear in those reeds. While gen placement is pretty good, those reeds are everywhere. I despise that Sanctum map.
0 -
who cares at this point. The DC penalty is gone so DC away.

It´s not exactly okay but I´t never blame someone for DCing on Ormond as Killer. It´s unbelievably imbalanced, more so than any other map by far in my opinion. To top it off scatchmarks are nigh impossible to track there.
0 -
Think about it this way.
They're trying to beat you off mentally so you drop your attention and lose focus thus track on multiples things in the game. It might take some time, but reinforce your mentality so this kind of childish behavior is not rewarded.
Some people are even more simple and malevolant. They do that because they enjoy seeing you complain in the end game chat and getting "hurt" by their actions. Just hit them up with the "ggwp" and move on, it's doesn't seem like it but it actually ruins their ego.

On top of all that sounds are fricking broken af.I break a pallet and survivor has to run left or right but I cant hear them even with my game at 100 sound.
0 -
Absolutely. I DC on Mother's Dwelling, any Badham, Haddonfield The Game & Midwich, sometimes Ormond too. When DC penalties are back I will just AFK, hopefully the hackers keep doing their thing though, best thing that's happened to the game this year
0 -
Idk if it is just me but I get really upset when losing as killer.But as survivor I can just move on if I get tunneled,camped...as killer its diffrent,I cant just suck it up that gens fly and Killers are basicaly scarecrows for survivors.

Even sometimes I had 29k bp game as legion but it doesnt matter I didnt had any fun that game.

I'm just here to take notes on who claims it's okay to for a killer to DC because they don't like a map in case I see their names pop up in other threads saying that there's never a reason for a survivor to DC

Sorry but no, DCing isnt okay to do. That being said, if you dont wanna olay it, go sit in a corner and make.a sandwich,. Watch youtube. You dont have to play, but DCing isnt the answer.

Don't think Yamaoka is, just think it's boring as #########. I absolutely think all Badhams are very survivor sided though, everyone just runs to the obnoxiously strong buildings, house of pain is ridiculous, school is horrible, the two story house is horrible, and those are all guaranteed to have gens in them which you cannot protect. Gens are usually placed nearby one of these buildings too at the very minimum.

I know im sorry for survivors but I was just so sad and upset becouse I had 2-3 games in a row on badham then mothers map.Idk...i just want chill games but some survivors keep teabagging,pointing,flashlight clicking all the times.There is the diffrence betwen being a good survivor and a toxic scummy one.
0 -
Yamakoa is great becouse so many survivors can hide in front of you with iron will.So many tall grass and bushes.

Something that can be relieving to some people is the fact that survivor is teambased, and sometimes your team is objectively uncarryable. ( I find it more frustrating than anything but I guess I'm just not the bigger person to complain about things I have no control over. )
On the other hand, whenever you play killer, you can't and don't have to rely on other people, your side is only representated by you. If you f*ck up or can't force people to leave an opening it's way more stressful because it's only up to you. But that's also exactly why you shouldn't let your stress and "fear" dictate you as a killer.

it generally doesn't have much to work with - especially sanctum of wrath. Personally I find stealth really boring so I don't play that way though, but I can understand for blendettes (and having played against them) it can be really easy to hide

I also hate last second swaps to survivors with dark clothes on them.

I only dc when i see an OoO, lifes to short for that

As one of those, I also DC as survivor, iri head and doctor who brought a game offering is always an insta DC, mori is usually a DC if I'm not 4 man, Spirit/Pyramid Head/Deathslinger are occasional DCs depending on my mood (usually I don't DC on the first, but if I face these killers consecutively I will start DCing, I can take one unfun as fun match, not gonna keep playing if it's multiple in a row though - Clown probably also applies to this portion as he is boring as #########) and Freddy is an occasional DC mostly dependant on the build.
Pretty much everything that makes me DC is fixable (obnoxious unfun bad maps, poorly designed unfun killers/addons/offerings) so if BHVR fix the unfun stuff in the game (like making Freddy require some skill, rebalancing moris, changing maps like Mother's Dwelling, Badham, Haddonfield, Ormond, making PH have a cooldown coming out of his M2 so he doesn't have 100% guaranteed hits with zero counterplay, etc.) then there will be a lot less DCs and facecamping killers/first hook suicides I imagine.

No and we also do not promote Unsportsmanlike Behaviour on this forum - that includes DC'ing.
