DC penalties enabled currently with cheating is an issue

Title says all, 3 DCs = 25 collective ban minutes after just 6 matches, for something totally out of my control because I matched ragehackers. With the current highly frequent cheating climate, I really feel this needs to be considered.

    As harsh as it sounds, DC penalties bring disabled is a bigger issue. No penalty = at least 1 DC almost every match.

    Yes, please, turn off DC penalties. If I'm facing survivors who are being dicks, I'm leaving. Not dealing with that.

    And why is that actually a problem ? If the developers finally would just grant the killer full points for every DC as if they had hooked that person twice and it had died on the hook the whole idiocy of DC "penalties" - issued by a game company feeling compelled to "punish" their customers - would be absolutely irrelevant.

    And why is that even a problem ? If the company would just grant killers full points as if the DC had been hooked twice and died on the hook it would void the idiocy of "penalties" by a game company against their customers who don't like to finish a round for whatever reason.

    Please don't get rid of DC penalties.

    If you are a survivor and get matched with idiots or a angry killer, just die on hook and move to the next game.

    If you are a killer the ultimate dick squad, then just run around scaring them off gens, taking pot hits. Don't chase, let them keep healing and doing gens till they finish, then let them escape while running from the gate, or just do a challenge.

    The only real person that loses out when you DC is you. It's you that loses BP and you that has the penalty.

    It’s a problem because 1 DC ruins the match for everyone else. If there’s a DC every other match, well you do the math.

    It ruins the game for everyone just as well if the killer does nothing but camp from the very first survivor on. Either you degrade the game to a M1 holding/Space punching boredom or people try to save just to get denied to play their side of the game as well by some uninspired, unskilled killer player.

    What's better ?

    Killers camping is better. You can play around camping, but you can’t reliably play around DCs.

    Sure, being camped sucks but it’s part of the game. Having people DC every time something doesn’t go their way breaks the game.
