What is with all the freaking DCs as of late? -rant-

I cannot play a decent game lately and it's not even because of camping/tunneling Killers. Whenever I load into a match over the past few days it seems like somebody dcs within the first few minutes. At first I'm guessing it's the servers or something but holy crap it isn't even that. My last 4 games had had 2 people DC as soon as they get downed one person trying to be toxic to a Trapper who downed him damn near instantly and of course the dude DCs (thankfully trapper was nice enough to let the rest of the lobby farm) and then somebody just DC as soon as he ears the Doctor's shock.

Playing solo is crap, randoms are more annoying than the killers these days.

    It's solo Q hell. Many of us solo players keep saying this. Solo Q is HELL. People don't give a damn about the other 3 guys that joined the game with them. They DC and ruin the experience for everyone else for the most ridiculous reasons...


    Now, if the killer is facecamping you and tunneling you, I would understand why they would want to DC..

    Playing solo has always been crap because of survivors, this is also the reason literally nothing can fix soloq.

    Can we even fix humanity?

    It's so annoying that you HAVE to play SWF to get a decent game these days

    Tbh, it's the case for pretty much any team based games.

    Ya know what would make solo q better? If we had an easy way to stay qued with players we get matched with not everyone has discord to communicate so making the teaming up prospect a bit easier might help it

    I don't like having my game ruined because some guy decided he suddenly was not in the mood to play the game.

    48 of my past 50 DCs have been from survivor (solo q)

    I'm up to the 24-hour penalty, so I have to sit through killer queue and avoid playing survivor.

    I mostly play killer anyway, but I tried working on survivor challenges and getting Rank rewards before the season ended.

    It's almost like I was a toxic killer toward my teammates in the past and they wrote my name down or something; I feel like they're out to get me killed. Same goes for the killer, on ocassion; just lets the injured survivor right in front of them go just to chase healthy old me (it might just be that I'm their last BBQ stack, but when that perk no longer gives a BP bonus I'll know for sure)

    That would be nice there have been times I wanted to keep playing with the Survivors I got teamed with

    To be fair, in SoloQ there are a number of situations where you know not even a minute into the game that it will be more than five minutes of pure misery. Since SoloQ is very much "everyone for themselves" (and that's a game design issue, not a player issue) I can see how some people may say to themselves: well, I ain't gonna watch the sh*tshow that's about to go down and rather just eat the 5min dc penalty and hope I won't have several matches like this in a row.

    To be clear: that is not good and should not be a thing. But it's also just a symptom of the actual issue (SoloQ from a game dev pov) and not an issue in and of itself (which is why "remove 'leave match' and 'the 4%' to stop it" won't have the desired effect).

    Besides the icons that would show what everyone is doing, how about a frigging communications wheel that like EVERY game has nowadays? Pointing and waving is a start, but dayum, just give us more emotes and basic icons, maybe even in the shards shop. Its not rocket science.
