Survivors dying on first hook

I'm losing my mind. Every. Single. Game. I load into a game and someone goes down within 1 minute and they kill themselves on first hook and ruins the entire game for LITERALLY everyone else in the lobby and they don't get punished for this at all. PLEASE find a way to punish people like this or actually look at the reports that they get and take action or something, I report every single one of them but nothing will stop it.

    They should just remove the self unhook chance off entirely.Don't let people just immediately push into 2nd stage. The amount of successful usage of self unhook vs the amount of people who just abuse it to get to 2nd hook state immediately I'd imagine is far into the 2nd hook state group significantly. Does more harm than good.

    To be fair if I get left to hit second stage (which happens a lot in solo Q) I'm out. A lot of surv teammates don''t bother unhooking me. So yeah, I leave. Enjoy the 3v1

    I think a better way of doing "Escape from the hook" would be only giving 1 chance to escape that uses a quarter of the total bar. Furthermore buffing the luck offerings for this would mean it might be worth it.

    You're reporting people for 'attempting a 4% chance unhook'? 😂 That's a core part of the game. You can't punish people for that. It doesn't matter if they're using it for a different purpose - using a legitimate part of the game is un-punishable. Get real.

    It is not wrong to leave a match. The community seriously needs to stop demanding punishment for literally everything. You people have become dictators drunk with power, and you're going to end up making the game so rules-oppressive that no one is going to play Dead By Daylight. Think a little.

    You hate when people DC, so this is the alternative. If you would just let people DC then you'd at least have a bot sticking around as the fourth survivor. Instead, you've forced people to move on to the next match by different means - and drop your team down to three instead.

    I hope someday the community will give up on the schtick of punishing every tiny, minute thing that causes even the slightest bit of inconvenience. No one bought this game to be oppressed by rules lawyers coming up with their own interpretations of how the game should be played.

    It is ok to give up on hook. It is ok to DC. No one is required to stay in a game (if they are forced to, would you rather them sabotage you instead?). You don't have the right to demand, "You must play this game with me no matter what! 😡" Stop punishing every action players take. It's gotten old.

    And if I get caught so fast at the beginning of the game that I may as well have started the game on the hook, you best believe I'm calling it quits, because that's simply unacceptable.

    Remove Kobes unless there's some associated perk.

    If they really don't want to play that badly, they can just not fight the entity on second hook.

    Also, create a reward system with rotating prizes that accepts tokens earned from consecutively exercising good sportsmanship and playing through, even if the match didn't go your way (both sides).
