3v1s or less

Something that has always bothered me about dbd is when survivors alt+f4 or close their game during the loading screen, but the game continues anyway. I would really like it if games were to auto-cancel if the game isn't a 4v1. Anything less than 4 survivors has almost never been viable or fun, which leads to either farming, survivors losing straight away, or disconnects.

TL;DR: Make games auto-cancel if the game isn't a 4v1.

    Do you have any idea how much longer that would make lobbies? Keep in mind that offerings have already been destroyed by that point, and given how often Survivors DC because they don't like the Killer they're facing, it would essentially make it so players who wanted to use strong Killers would never get a lobby.

    Yea I wish there was a stage resset if someone leaves before the games even start. But first they have to implement time bans for the dc users or people will abuse it. Normally in online games when you dc you can't queue for next 15 to 30min. Also I think the dcs often happens because people actually crash - happened to me few times too. But there is one case where you can see the person leaving during the 5 last seconds before the game starts loading and the stage still proceed to load ... I mean that's really stupid now

    With games auto-cancelling, I'm assuming no one would lose pips, offerings, or items. This post just presented an unfinished idea that was bothering me personally and to see if others felt the same. Also it only mentions the killer you're facing in the loading screen a few times if you haven't faced them yet, so the potential for abuse is low. (This idea would only be for DCs before the game starts, not during) In my opinion, the little bit of risk is better than having a game that isn't fun or viable to have a chance in.

    To my knowledge and in their recent live stream, they are giving out temp bans for people abusing dc's constantly, but yes I agree that DCs can be quite annoying early on in the game too. Also yeah it's the worst when they leave in those last 5 seconds or during the loading screen.
