Ranks. DC's "Infinite" Loading Screens and The Mori
I've been playing heavy for the last few days. Scattered across 2 accounts, both survivor and killer Rank 15 through 1(killer) and here are some observations.
The infinate loading screen is someone killing the process and exiting the game most times (most should know this by now..), and it's usually tied to a mori being played. Then it's just a matter of waiting the ridiculous timeout (or re-connection attempts that must have a value set to 9 gazillion)
The problem is that the most toxic of players seem to hover around the 12-13 rank, which my secondary killer account is sitting at. The reason is these are the people that DC without any real reason other than they are likely to lose. Because of the new ranking system, they never leave the 13-10 rank, but they are good enough to stay there. This works well for them because the killers are usually not anywhere close to their level so they get easy mode.
These are not survivors that are new, or have only been playing a few dozen hours. These are 100, 1000, 3000 hour players sitting at rank 13. It's always the high hour players that DC on a mori too it seems.
On my main account, survivor I'm usually rank 3-4. The DC's are NOTHING like they are at newbro ranks.
So, now the toxic, DC happy players are all bunched up together.
Now, the possibility of getting an "infinate" loading screen is expenotially higher at those ranks, because of this grouping.
Why show the offering pre-load? Why not have it show once players have loaded onto the map? Then if some ######### dc's, they don't hold the game hostage for 3-4 minutes while waiting for the "timeout" (i use that word very loosely)
I also think people who chronically DC need to be locked at rank 20 until their DC frequency drastically decreases. You won't have to worry about the butt hurt customers and the legitimate players who the game just constantly freezes / hangs, will still be able to play but obviously be stuck there until their problem is fixed.

I always just end up closing the game when the game takes way too long to load, I'm not waiting that long for an unfun match and I recommend others to do the same

I had recently a 5 minutes loading screen. Made me a cup of tea and it was still loading. I had MLGA activated to see if I'm still connected with the killer and I indeed was. I had a feeling it's going to be a 2v1 or 1v1 so I opened my task manager. Quite annoying.

I have played about 15 matches in the last 3 days at these ranks talked about and therehas been at least 1 dc in every match . About half are in loading and half are rage quit and its ruining the game for me because im playing it out at a disadvantage against players who want to rank up in a near impossible new ranking system. I play to have fun whether I live or die doesn't matter so much to me but this isn't fun anymore.
