Compensation for disconnecting and killing one's self on the hook

I just played a match as the Spirit, playing completely fair, no camping or tunneling, etc. I downed this Bill 1st in the killer shack and went to put him down in the basement. He decided to ruin the game for everyone else by rage quitting and disconnecting. This caused me to get a silver in the devout category since I didn't get to hook him. This also makes it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to get an adept achievement for a killer since it requires a double pip.

The "Leave Game" option should be replaced with a "Concede" option. When someone concedes the match, it plays the entity sacrifice animation from the EGC and the killer gets the hook events they would've acquired otherwise(0 hooks=+3 events, 1=+2, 2=+1). It should be the same for those who kill themselves on the hook as well. The Adept killer achievements should be 4 kills rather than a Merciless Victory. All a survivor has to do is escape and so it is possible for a survivor to just do nothing the entire match and escape to get the adept achievement.

I hope the developers do something to fix these issues. It's starting to become very hard to enjoy playing killer as well as ranking up due to someone rage quitting because they got outplayed.

    It hurts the survivors more. An early DC means the remaining survivors now are down a person, don't get any unhook points, or healing points on that person.

    While there are definitely ways to adjust scoring so that both sides would be awarded accordingly for someone who leaves... there is no replacement for a person on the survivor side to complete the game.

    Adjusting the scoring seems pointless. Just need to address the main issue.
