I think DC penalties need to be programmed differently.

GHERBEARRULES · August 2020

I'm not saying they should be removed, I'm saying they need to be changed. What I mean is, there are issues in the game that just make you want to move on to the next one because of how unfun the current one is. Basically, the way I would change it is, the longer you stay in a match without disconnecting or hook suiciding, the less time your DC penalty is. How I'd change it would be this:

<2 minutes into a match= 7:00 minute penalty

<4 minutes into a match= 5:00 penalty

<6 minutes into a match= 4:30 penalty

<8 minutes into a match= 3:30 penalty

Greater than (I couldn't put the symbol without it turning into a column) 10 minutes into a match=2:00 penalty

And the way it could work for hook suicides is that unless you are the last survivor or you are forced to die on hook, (meaning when everyone hits the struggle phase) hitting the 3rd stage on a hook in less than 25 seconds after being hooked, triggers the penalty.

This way I feel like it would punish those who don't care about the others in the game even more rather than those who do care, but feel as if the game is being ruined for them, don't get punished as much. I could be wrong, it's just my opinion. Just to summarize, I don't think the DC penalties should be removed, I just think they should be changed because there are issues in the game that ruin it for others. Share your opinion below.
