Higher DC Penalties
Now I know this is an unpopular suggestion. But here me out BVHR. I get it. People dont like being in match with bs killers. But what about the people playing the game? Time and time again, players DC because their loop didnt work and the killer knocked them down only once. People DC cause a killer is tunneling. People DC just because a killer found them. It makes playing the game for others more difficult. So my suggestion would be higher penalties.
Players recieve a 5 min penalty against playing and a 2 pip reduction. But obviously that isnt enough to stop them from doing it.
My suggestion is to make it a 15 min penalty and a full rank deduction. The DCing is getting out of hand for both killers and Survivors. Killers get less pip for the DC then if they killed them and Survivors have a harder time finishing gens with half the team DCed. This isnt fair to other players because some jerk wants to rage quit because things dont go their way. It should be addressed.
Now for the people who comment on this supporting me, I hope we get this in place and hopefully it helps us.
For those who disagree, I'm not going to indulge your selfishness. It's not fair to other players you leave behind and 99% of pvp games have harsher penalties than here or they have progressive penalties for every time you DC. I think 15 mins is way better then having 30 mins to an hour.
So please BVHR. Help the minority here and allow us to actually play the game.

Why are people even still talking about pips, no one cares they literally mean nothing.

I care and I know plenty more people do so dont act like nobody does

Maybe you'd all be alot less uptight and miserable if you wasnt worried about a pip that doesn't prove or mean anything other then you play alot :)

Um. What? You think.... pips mean... you play a lot? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! DUDE! HAHAHA! You could play this game for 30 years and still be at no higher than rank 10. AHAHAHAHAHA!!! It's not about how long but how good you play. My wife has played this only 3 months and is rank 2. Dont come at me with that crap.

More penaltys is not something that will prevent people from disconecting, and in the best scenario people will end up finding a way to abuse the penalty system as they have done already, reason why they turn it off (again).
This is by the most part a casual game, and when people dont want to play this game for X reason they do one of this, they quit and play another match or leave and go do something else. Rank system in this game is irrelevant, you get to rank 1, and thats it. You dont find better players, you dont get anything at all, you literally just played the game a lot in a short period of time (1 Month), and thats great but nothing important. Reason why people will not stop dcing just because they will depip and also the reason why they are reworking the entire ranked system.
To make it worse, some people will want to depip on purpose. In the old days people wanted to depip because in the red ranks they were less players, longer queue times and nobody wanted to wait 10 minutes for a game, so they depiped or tryied to stay on the green-purple ranks to find matches. So instead of preventing ppl from quitting, you might actually incentive them to do so.

ranks in this game don't matter jeeze also this not a competitive pvp game it a casual game people need stop acting like it competitive because you get nothing hitting 1 rank for either side it why ranks don't matter.

You dont get anything from competitive games for reaching rank 1 either. And if you think this is casual, then you need to fix your idea of what casual means. This is competitive. Pvp games are all competitive games because it's a competition between 1 killer and 4 survivors. And if it wasnt so competitive then majority of the players wouldnt be so damn toxic. It needs more strick rules for abandoning a match. You cant just escape a match in order to win either. You have to do specific things to gain rank as well. Its seriously needs to be addressed. And having a 15 min penalty will deter majority of players from DCing. Not all but most. Especially since when you DC, by the time you get to the main menu, your penalty is already up so it's like there is no penalty besides pip loss. Make them more severe and less people will do it. I played killer once and 3 people DC'ed as soon as I knocked them down first time. That's not fun at all and should be addressed. I also solo queued right after I got my switch version and 2 people DC'ed. It needs to be more severe

As much as I'd like to agree with this, players don't care much about rank anymore because it doesn't have a direct impact on matchmaking like it used to...it doesn't mean anything to be rank 1 these days because literally anyone can get there and STILL play like a rank 20 who's just bought the game.
We'll see though.

No, absolutely not.

Thats not how it works. Competitive games are not any kind of PvP game, its meant for those games that actually have a professional scene, reason why being a higher rank in those game actually mean something, that is aiming to a professional level (Just take a look at all those other highly competitive games). And this game doesnt have that because of how the balance of the game is (especially because of the maps). Even tournaments for this game are a joke, a fun and entertaining joke, but a joke nonetheless. They cant even work properly without some weird rules because of how poorly the game is for a competitive scene. Humans are "toxic" everywhere, doesnt matter if the game is competitive or not, thats not even a reason to be toxic.
That aside the higher penaltys can be abused, and they are off right now because of how the system works. Adding more time to it will make no improvement at all, people will not stop quiting and people who quit or get a unfair dc penalty will just end up leaving. You dont need to restrict people from playing, you need to add more quality of life improvements. Punishment often end up doing the opossite of what they aim for, instead of preventing people from DC they will just leave the game.

They should not fix the DC before this hack is patched. Fixed server and crash issues a lot of players are facing (not me but others)

"For those who disagree, I'm not going to indulge your selfishness."
This is the most selfish thing I've seen here yet. You're basically saying that your point is absolute and anyone who has a counter point is wrong. Okay. Shut up and listen.
Point 1. What if my internet goes down? My internet is nothing I'm going to boast about. There have been many games where I have been enjoying myself and my internet dies. I'm at rank 1 now so I really don't care too much about my rank, but when I derank due to something that does not reflect my skill, it does hurt a little. What your suggesting would completely ruin the game for people having internet issues, as they have to A) lose their rank that they may have been working to get for multiple days. When I was starting off, getting from rank 11 to rank 10 was hard. I wasn't very good at the time and when I did get the rank 10 I felt a great sense of acomplishment. If my internet had died in the enxt game and I went all the way back to the start of rank 11 I would possibly have rage quit. B) My wifi is back up, but I still have to wait a full 15 minutes just to play again. I just lost a rank due to my internet going down, I'm not happy about it but to add insult to injury I have to sit and watch a timer. How fun. So yeah, this is just not fair to people who are already having a rough time.
Point 2. Smurfing. This new system will make getting from rank 1 to rank 15 easy af. 15 games, join and leave. Put on a movie and do it in the background. 15 minute wait, no problem. I wan't to mess with some new killers so lets go do it. The current system punishes DCers enough to deter it slightly, but still not make DCing worth it. The amount of games you need to join and leave is just too much to be worth it. Your suggestion changes that. Yeah, no.
Point 3. Can you tell me 1 genuine thing wrong with the current system? I think in my life playing DBD I have DC'd around 5 times due to being tunneled back to back and my patience is just gone. I'm not proud of it but I have done it. One of the main reasons I don't DC on toxic killer though, is that I don't want to lose my pips and have a cooldown. As I said, my rank means little to me now, but I do like being at rank 1 as I believe its where I'm getting the fairest and most fun games.
Your suggestion is unfair and unbalanced, and I would word this whole thing slightly nicer but you didn't show the same courtesy, so yeah, nah <3

I don't personally care about rank. You do? Ok. I still don't and honestly nobody should because of the state of matchmaking.
No body should be caring about rank except to get the achievement.
There's quite a few reasons to legit DC.

But... rank 1 isn't hard to get.

The most selfish thing IS DCing. You leave everybody else to fend for themselves when even you being tunneled could help just enough to get gens done unless they suck, in which case it's still just thinking about myself. At least, me feeling like this and expressing it is attempting to help all those who have a problem with DCing. And if rank doesnt matter, they why do people care how low it is if the matchmaking is screwed up atm? That means rank 1 shouldnt have to worry about hard times finding groups. So what's the point? People wanna be idiots and waste their time not playing when they can waste their time playing, that's on them. But the people who want to play will think twice about DC'ing. And you can also set it to bump up the amount of time the penalty is the more you do it in a row. People with ######### internet connection? Shouldnt be playing at all anyways.
Competitive games are those in which players play against one another and where one player winning means another player loses. Two player games are often competitive, with a distinct win-or-lose outcome.
Definition of competitive. Learn your stuff before coming here

Ah yes the amazing copy-paste definition from a super serious source called "ChangingMinds.org". Very good. This game also have a very distinct scenario of win-lose, that its so clear that you can depip with a 4k as a Killer, and much more. Love it <3

Ikr? Wonderful thing the internet, huh? What you refer to as "competitive gaming" is actually professional gaming. Even sports have those that arent actually anything professional yet are still competitive. Hell. Even wallball is competitive. Little game in school I'm sure you never heard of and if you have, congrats. Things are competitive as long as there is competition. Root word of competitive is compete. To compete is to go up against other people. Henceforth, competitive is p....v.....p..... and there you have it.
