For those that give up on hook, why?
I've been curious about this for a while, but I don't get too far on other platforms in terms of legitimate discussion, so I figured I'd ask here. What's the reasoning for giving up on hook, or "going next", rather than disconnecting from the match? And for the people who do this frequently, what brings you back to playing more survivor matches?

Likely just selfishness. They prioritize their own fun over the other 4 players and if something doesn't go the way they want they dip out.
People will choose the off on hook method to avoid a DC timeout penalty.

It is hard for people to answer this honestly as it gets dangerously close to breaking forum rules.
But I will say when I face a killer who plays in an intentionally obnoxious way with an obnoxious build (Franklin's, Knockout slugging at 5 gens etc) then I would rather be in another match than play this. Also if I see team mates hiding in corners while the killer chases someone else and nobody is doing gens, the match is likely hopeless and probably better to just go next. Twins.
I try not to go next on first hook but some games are obviously hopeless from the start and I don't begrudge team mates from going next against truly obnoxious builds etc (I am NOT advocating this though) but I do agree that some people are pathetic and go next for no apparent reason and the problem is the DC penalty as most would DC and at least leave a bot if it wasn't there.
