Killer adepts and DC’s

I’m a little frustrated with the adept consistency between survivor and killer, mainly in the way that DC’s are basically robbing killers of the achievement.

For context; I have been trying to adept all killers. Aside from just playing the game, adepts and other achievements make me strive for more in the game. However, many of my adept attempts have been basically robbed because of people who DC. in an example my last match was me attempting to adept the nurse, a difficult killer to do. I played fair, and after many hours I was sure this was the game, I downed the last 2 survivors but as soon I hooked the last one, they DC’d and I didn’t get my achievement.

It’s incredibly frustrating to have to deal with this, especially because it’s something out of your control. I feel like if I play way too aggressive or “toxic” as some players think I risk losing my hard work to earn the achievement. Either they DC early on because they got outplayed or at the end when they know they’ve lost in endgame. Adepting is already difficult enough on some killers that have no slowdown but knowing that you’re efforts can be taken away with nothing you can do is just infuriating.

All this and somehow survivors still earn their adept if a killer DC’s. It was even highlighted in the last skull merchant update for Thalita and Renato. Like come on, can’t it be streamlined for both sides so it’s not a frustrating process.

Thank you for reading.

    Yeah DCs should count into adepts.

    Way to easy to ruin attempts for toxic people once they notice that a killer only runs the adept perks.

    Before you could try to friendly farm your way into adepts at low grades but not anymore.

    And survivor always have been sensitive about getting sacrificed. What i mean is, even after a full farm round, you would need extreme luck for all survivor allowing you to get a 4k. Kill even one after a 30 minute farmfest and the rest will still try to run for their lives since the expected outcome of a farm round is the 4e.

    Yh it's annoying, devs knew about it beforehand and didn't care.

    I can barely get through a killer game without someone having a temper tantrumn and disconnecting. Like right at the start, first down, people DC on third hook.

    I wish BHVR would crank up DC penalties for repeat offenders. Not only do they ruin adepts but they're often throwing a game that survs could've won.

    Yeah punish the DC'rs.

    What is the reason why not? If my internet cuts off for a minute it takes about 5 min to come properly back on.

    5 Min should be the first timer given.

    People disconnect after first down at the start of a match and ruin the game for the rest.

    Sure there are killers I don't like going against too much but I don't DC.

    Also losing a surge hook late on can make a big difference.

    Just fix it as it's worst than it used to be.
