Disappointment in upcoming changes
When the future changes roll out for the DC Ban, I will have to quit playing public survivor due to the Disconnecting being considered bannable. The reason is I have severe phobias of clowns and dolls (such as chucky). Only 2 killers of the nearly 40 that are in the roster at the time of writing. I wish we have phobia modes or ban lists like in many many other games (grounded, satisfactory, league of legends, and so on), since the devs have said they care about phobia (such as aranphobia) but that feels like a slap in the face when the other top phobias are not cared for in the same way. I do not mean this in a way to be like I hate this game or the devs, because I do not. I love playing this game with my friends and I don't blame the devs on this decision solely since it's a quality of life change that could help bring about a better gaming experience to teammates don't quit mid-match just because things aren't going their way.
I feel like there isn't a resolution for people like me (or those with disabilities with numerous other killers) in this situation where the game can be fully playable on both sides. Like the only way I can play going forward if this goes through is Killer or customs with my friends, which is entirely outside the ecosystem of the game. This doesn't benefit the player count at this point for Survivor or queue times for Killer, between DCing being a bannable offense (seasonally or otherwise) or forcing people to just quit Survivor or the game entirely. I play this game to spend time with my friends. I truly hope this idea gets dropped or if it does come in, that it comes with a way that helps the players that are playing survivor with phobias, disabilities, and so on. Some level of compromise that can give care to both sides and meet the player base in the middle on would be fantastic.
I understand some of the player base will say get over it or just quit because the 'game isn't meant for you', but I know I'm far from the only player in the community that also thinks this change at the current understanding of it isn't for the best for the game and it's future. I have posted before about this issue with phobias and saw more members talking about options to help, expressing similar issues with certain killers, bringing up games that practiced settings for phobias, and so on. I just would like to stay playing this game I have come to enjoy a lot instead of being restricted only 2v8 (until clown and chucky are added in there), custom matches, or killer only.

Just because I think it's best to link it here, here's that post I was talking about where people brought up many of issue with several killers, including phobias and disabilities: https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/discussion/440866/for-those-that-have-triggers-or-phobias-in-this-game-what-do-you-do#latest
