Instant rage quitters in first 30-60 seconds of match

Dear BHVR, can you please address the rage quitters? I just now ended yet another game where 3 ppl instantly left within first minute and the 4th just yoinked the hatch instantly afterwards. i depipped from that - how is that fair? why are killers being punished for abhorent survivor player behaviour? You said you will be able to do something with that on dedicated servers - well here we have them and yet rage quits are in every single match causing killers to loose points and depip - if you cannot implement something simple like a matchmaking queue lockout for leavers say 15 then after 2nd 30 and then say after 3rd 60 etc minute lockouts (this would solve the problem as people would not be so giddy to rage quit and that penalty is not really severe). But if that is not possible can you please at least adjust points for killers for leavers? mealsy 600 something points does nothing 90% of time even if one person rage quits instantly this results in depip - its not fair :( we should be getting like 3 hooks worth sacrifice at least for each leavr meethinks😔

    They arnt done testing the servers. I think they said something about a husk system, where the DC'er leaves a husk that you can hook still.

    Its not really the killer's fault and honestly sometimes its not the survivors either. Frustration is rampant on both sides and there needs to be addressing. I've posted over on the steam forums on curbing this issue and in my findings. EGC has caused hard-rage. So players disconnect. Sure, punishing a player for leaving sounds good. But once it does start. It means less people will play. When players leave. It is out of frustration.

    1. Killer spawned RIGHT next to the survivor at the start of the match.
    2. Hex Ruin. Players don't want to sit there trying to find a hex totem, just so they can do Generators. AND killers don't want to lose their totems right away either!
    3. Nobody wants to play against Legion, GhostFace or Spirit right now.
