Punish DCs
Just do it already.
Seriously. It ######### the game for both sides, killer and survivor. If you DC 3 times a day either A ) your internet/PC is screwed and you need time to fix it or B ) you're intentionally disconnecting because of some arbitrary and whiny reason that screws over the rest of your team and makes the game boring AF for the killer.
Fix it.
It's been a problem long enough.
Take a hint from any other team based game with a ranked system. At least 5-30 mins+ timeout from re-queuing in another match for the first DC, 1 hour+ for every additional one, then go from there to eventual week long bans. DCs should not be taken lightly.
Next, make people want to rank up by adding actual rewards for achieving the top rank beyond "Yay, I'm rank 1. So much personal satisfaction! Till next month!" so that they take the games more seriously at the top level. I'm all for memes every once in a while but you don't typically see others teabagging their dead allies in other games during ranked play, waiting to be killed, because they actually want to win and possibly be at the top rank. IRL rewards, exclusive cosmetics, iridescent shards, blood shards, WHATEVER. Just, SOMETHING. Anything. Please.

The devs even support streamers that derank by DCing.
That much about punishing Dcs...

Definitely THIS.
But also, if you're a survivor and HALF your team d/c's mid game.... Just end the game.
Two people have almost no chance of doing the bare minimum to escape (2 gens + hatch after the other is dead).
At that point, it's just a matter of maxing points doing whatever possible in a heruclean effort to avoid losing ranked progess.1 -

I agree with you mostly but I would say give it a 3 dc's before any ban would start. There is a rare chance that your internet might drop due to a storm and then an actual RL event causes you to have to leave for a few minutes. So three would keep majority of people safe from an uncalled for ban. Now anyone that dc's more than 3 times give them a 24 hr ban. Your get more than 2 in a week and you get a week ban. A short 5- 30 minute ban wont stop many trolls. I have seen some profiles where they brag about getting such short bans like a badge of honor.
Dc'ing is this games major downfall. I think if that would get fixed maybe some of the toxicness would disappear. It would be so nice to play with people who just want to enjoy the game.

They already ban people who disconnect in a certain % of games. The exact number isn't revealed because if they did then toxic people would abuse it and disconnect in N-1 games where N is the number of games they have to disconnect from to get banned.

3/4s of streeamers would be banned for the next 3 life times, so I doubt they ever will
