A simple fix to the DC penalty

Dragon Age Inquisition had a vote out mode in multi-player. People would just randomly vote out others and it was wicked obnoxious.

In my experience, Vote-to-Kick systems don't usually do an effective job with handling the removal of players from a lobby.

Either it's way too easy for a "majority" to be reached for kicking a player, which leads to a lot of players unfairly getting the boot (as seen in R6: Siege) or it's so difficult to actually get enough votes, usually due to large lobby sizes, that problem players are nearly impossible to remove from a match (like in Wreckfest).

I can't see such a system working in DbD however you try to slice it, plus people would always find ways to abuse it and make it bad for the health of the game.

Im very confused. Does the person vote for themself, if so a player who needs to quit for maybe an hour needs their team to agree for them to leave, and that team may say no, costing them to have to wait a day to play the game. You also said that it doesn't work in teams, which means voting just doesn't work, and if you need to leave while in a swf or with one while in solo its a 12 hour ban for you. The dc penalty is fine, it punishes players who dc due to toxicity, and doesn't punish those who leave due to irl things. A lot of the people who complain either shouldn't play if their internet or pc is that bad, or dc a lot more than they admit.

Just make it to where if someone presses the leave button, DC penalty. If they pull the plug or the power goes out, no DC penalty.

I have couple of questions because I really don't understand what OP suggesting and why.

What is the point of kicking player? You will be instantly screwed in 3vs1 scenario. Why would you do this to yourself?

Why do you want DC penalty be fixed? It works fine. And how your suggestion of kicking players related to DC?

This is the same game where certain people will take issue with someone saying gg and treat it like you just insult them and their family. Where people will sand bag or try to sand bag you for no reason. That or heck will call you trash in post game, even if you escaped or killed them all. That or call you sweaty for trying to win the game as if doing your objective is a bad thing. That and everyone is random strangers here. So it's unlikely three people would have any issue with voting out a team mate that carry them through out the whole game, due to believing they did nothing.

That and how would this fix dc issue at all? Since it doesn't fix the issue with people randomly dcing and screwing over their team. It doesn't stop the dreaded three vs one happening. It just grants random people the ability to screw you over for no real reason and just give you a ban for 12 hours, even if you played a match out from start to finish and play to the best of your ability to support the team. That and what is to stop someone from dcing before all three other players can vote them out? For surely a 5 minute time out would be way easier to deal with than a 12 hour one. This sounds like it would force people to dc, to avoid strangers screwing them over due to voting and giving them a random time out for no reason. That or more skill players might get a lesser skill people on the team who might of just install the game only a few days ago and ruin their experience by giving them a 12 hour time out, when they have not learn how to properly play the game yet. That or if anyone has play among us, you can see how sometimes it easy to just get people to agree with you for no reason by shouting out red did it and everyone just goes along with it for no reason.

That and in every other game that lets you kick a player from a server. It doesn't ban them from the whole game for 12 hours. Team fortress 2, left for dead come to mind. That and from my understanding, correct me if i'm wrong. The dc penalty is in place, to stop people from leaving the match early for no good reason, in the case of killer stop a match from happening or in the case of survivor stop someone from screwing over their team mates. Not to punish them for playing a whole match from start to finish or randomly get kicked during the middle of a match that is still being played out. Like even if we go with the idea a majority of people or everyone is trust worthy and won't abuse this system. It seems like a bad idea, that can be abused or at the very least is pointless and fixes nothing related to why we have dcs in the first place. That and it would also lead to other issues. Like what if someone is on second hook when a vote happens? Since they will be forced to vote and well have to die, due to being unable to spam the space bar.

While one can without a doubt say the current dc system has it's own fair share of issues. Like the hacker issues, leading to it needing to be turned off. That or how the rewards for someone quitting the match, is barely anything for what is more than likely a depip match for the survivors. If anything rather than punishing someone, maybe there should be a reason given for the remaining survivors and killer to stay in a match and finish it up. For here is what normally happens when someone dcs. The three survivors remaining lose hope and just give up or two of them give up and the one who wants to play, doesn't get to play a proper match. Basically the remaining survivors reward for remaining in a match and trying to play it out, is more than like jack in terms of blood points and a depip. Where if the survivors [and killer] were given a safely pip, due to having to play basically a three vs one for the whole match or everyone given some more blood points, it would give a reason for everyone to want to keep the match going, rather than just giving up.

Mate.... Have you ever played Rainbow Six Siege on console? They have that system you're sugesting... Is bad... Like really bad, you get banned for no reason at all, not a solution but a different problem

So instead of getting a slap on the wrist for DC'ing from time to time, i get a 12 HOURS ban for crashing or for forgetting to check the integrity of game files after an update or get voted it out by players who want to meme and platform elitist.
