New Dedicated Servers
I know dedicated servers aren't planned to come until around summer of 2019, however will they be fixing a lot of the DCing issues? Countless games of people DCing so we know the threat of them being banned isn't working, and I've never seen someone actually banned for leaving games. Right now I know it's hard to detect since it's peer to peer based, but with the dedicated servers it wouldn't be, can we then start having more bans for people leaving games?
This is a screenshot of just my last game, I've blacked out the names that are reported for DCing, and the one who is left wasn't streaming, but was the only one to stay in the game, and even let themselves die on hook so their fourth could get the hatch. They were up voted, not down-voted, so no name shame for him. 
Edit: I also forgot to mention, that's a BPS (Bloody Party Streamer), everyone was going to get 100% extra bloodpoints, and yet they all DC'd anyways. What's wrong with people. I wasn't being unfair, I didn't cheat or do anything BM. The first guy jumped into a locker basically in front of me, and DC'd the moment they got hooked. The second one DC'd right after getting downed after getting two pallet stuns on me.

We dont have DCing issues, we have ragequitting issues.
As long as we dont have punishment for Ragequitting, the DC rate will stay as high as it is4 -
No you're right, it's people rage quitting for getting caught, and instead of committing to the game they are in, they quit out and go to the next one with no punishment. It's stupid, every other ranked game has a harsh punishment for people doing that, and this game is like, nope it's fine. This is a ranked game that relies on teamplay, why they ever let it slide this much is beyond me. Now I know since they didn't have dedicated servers, it was more difficult to detect the difference between a ragequit and a DC, fair enough, but that's why I'm asking if this will change come summer.

Definitely a ragequit issue.
Yesterday I started a lobby afk. The queue was long and I walked my dog a bit before coming back to find the match had started and two generators were done. I expected as much, so the game plays out as you would expect from there and towards the end a prestiged Laurie Strode is teabagging with the others at the exit. She however, forgot that the Huntress has ranged attacks so with one good hatchet her attitude went from "Ha ha, noob killerino duud, etc" to "oh crap oh crap oh crap, CRAWL FASTER." I scooped her up and once we left the exit area she just dc'd.
She felt powerful and in a second I took it all away. So in turn she DC'd. All of her allies had left, she was on her third hook anyway. Just 35 seconds and she would've been at the tally screen with her points and pips.
Make the consequences deter ragequit BHVR. Then, people will stop dcing.1 -
Well they claim that the auto ban after a certain amount of DC's fixes the problem, but it doesn't. If they are still quitting every game then it solves nothing, it's no threat. They should have at least a five minute timer for RageQuitting a game, at least. If they had something important enough to leave, then five minutes should be nothing, if they were doing it on purpose to BM, well then they have to wait. The more they do it, the more they wait until they get banned for it. That's a threat. CSGO had a 30 minute auto ban for leaving the game once during a ranked match.

Why do you care as killer about survivor DCing? A survivor who DCed cuz u r Vetter than him is the biggest compliment and confirm u can get lol0

It's not a compliment. I came to play the game, not wait a long time in a lobby just to have some baby quit the game because they got caught doing something stupid. By leaving you make the rest of your team suffer being a teammate down, it'd be better if you just never joined the game in the first place than to come in and quit. I care because quitting makes the game not fun, it makes the experience garbage for everyone involved. If I'm a survivor I now have less chance to survive, and if I'm killer, I now can't have a game where I try hard and do my best. I play both killer and survivor, I'm a veteran at this game, and since day 1 DCing has been an issue that just never got fixed.

BUT HERE IS WHERE IT SUCKS: One dcs and the other three proceed rek me anyway. Getting rekt by 4 survivors is bad enough....but getting rekt by THREE is downright embarassing.

Servers won't change the rage quit issue.
People are not afraid, because there is no real punishment. A friend of me rage quit 50% of all matches. Did this for months. No punishment at all.0 -
A group surrender function wouldn't hurt. ((The effect doesn't take place unless the remaining survivors or killer.....(1 group, not both) agree.))
Also, there should definitely be a penalty for leaving a match too early/disconnecting. Hopefully the upcoming matchmaking update and dedicated servers will pave the way for a better game overall.

Hopefully with dedicated servers, BHVR will start taking action against DCs. At that point, they'll be able to see if it was a legitimate DC or ragequit.0

Having a DC every 10 matches isn´t a problem. Having 1 every 3 matches should be punished.0 -
There is a difference, only with it being non-dedicated servers they can't be 100% sure and I see why they don't punish people for leaving due to that fact. However, if when things change they still refuse to punish DC's, that will be an issue I'm pissed about. Someone said earlier why would a killer care if someone DC's, watch Monto's latest video, "Adept Freddy", he lost the achievement all due to someone DCing. He lost out due to the development team refusing to do anything about this issue, and yes it's an issue. Tsulan said that a friend of his rage quits 50% of all his matches, how does that make fun gameplay? It's something that needs to stop, and the devs need to start punishing for it. I'm tired of having boring games all because some crybabies don't want to finish a match that they agreed to play. If that's the case, they need to not be allowed to play at all.

Also Tsulan, it's not about how many matches in-between DCing, what I've always suggested is a time ban that grows the more you DC. So some emergency comes out and you really do need to leave, I'll give a real life example. I have a roommate who is Diabetic, I've had to leave before because his blood sugar dropped, and without helping him, he could have died. That's an actual emergency, and that's a darn good reason to leave. However, I'll be dealing with him for some time, and if I'm getting a time ban for that time, fair enough. If you have to leave, having to wait that little bit of time shouldn't be an issue. However, if you were DCing just to be a prick, having to wait will start to get annoying, and the more you do it, the longer you wait, the more annoying it'll become. This is the negative motivation needed to stop people from leaving a game early all because they get mad. If you have a reason to quit, quit, this won't make any difference, but if you're doing it in poor sport, it will. That's what I've always suggested, and I feel the game needs. There's never any reason to have DC's left and right. To have a match where everyone leaves, or even just one person. To have them do it every 3 matches, or to have them do it every 10. It's uncalled for, and the devs should have done something about this a long time ago.
