Allowed to Reconnect?

I have to ask and I do not think it is dumb but if you get D/C'ed from a match for whatever reason, I guess unless you are the killer, but should the devs make is possible to reconnect within a time limit?

In most games I have ever played online internet issues happen. These other games give us time to reconnect instant of assuming we just quit and punish us for it. I would rather be giving a time limit to rejoin my fellow survivors or whoever and help them then be punished instantly.

I am all for the time punishment for people that see a killer and go oh no I am out but for someone that joins and that one game internet causes a issue so they get a time penalty. Then a few days later they have 10 good games but oops it happens again now a longer time penalty. It only take a small amount to be banned for a while. I mean imagine playing 50 games and out of those games maybe 8 or 10 your internet cuts out. I would not get mad at the person because most of the time they tried but something out of their control and not predictable happened.

Instead of punishing people right away and assuming anyone that D/C's is a quitter either let a AI take over like they do on mobile or PLEASE give the person a time limit to rejoin so they can help the team and avoid being punished like most other online games allow.

Anyone else wish they had a rejoin option like other online games for when issues like this arise?
