Survivor DC Bots - how about a rejoin-option?

There are many interesting changes announced for the upcoming update and one of my favourite change is the adding of DC-Bots, but there is still a thing I'm struggling with.

Getting a bot into the game when someone dcs is a good alternative, but how about implementing an option for accidental dcs (like game crashes, internet connection loss, ...) to rejoin the match? There are a lot of games proving that it can work. I'm sure there is a way to detect if the game was closed due to frustration or losing connection due to technical issues.

Oh and concerning frustration dcs.... the penatly should be much higher :P

    Unless the game itself crashes (with the full on error report and everything) it has no way of knowing if your connection crashed or if you unplugged it on purpose, which would be very common if it made it possible to avoid DC penalties (and there's surely ways to make the game crash on purpose)

    As for a rejoin option, I'm not against it but I don't think it would be very used considering DBD games are pretty short, and unless you crashed right at the beginning it's unlikely you'll be able to fix whatever made you crash, restart DBD and join the game before it ends. Like, it's not a bad idea at all but I don't think it'd be worth the ressources put into making it happen.

    There would be no point, you'd be dead before you can get back into the game.
