The Mentality behind Disconnects is Staggering

What's even worst is the fact that no one seems to be doing much about it. New animations, skin reworks, fancy new perks, that's all good, but will we ever address the things we've been talking about and complaining from ages?

I report players when they DC at the start of the match or on the first hook, but I honestly doubt those reports are taken seriously. I hope I'm wrong and they do, but with the number of people complaining over and over again about this....

They probably don't do anything individually, but my hope is that they get looked at when a player accumulates tons of them. If I can add one stone to the pile that'll eventually sink these brats, I will gladly do so.

As for the number of people complaining about it, that's just a sheer volume problem. Knock out a hundred serial disconnectors and there's still ten thousand more to go.

If I solo'd 3 gens I seriously hope my team mates are tangling with the killer because if they pop 2 gens in the same time and the games over I'll be lucky to even safety pip on a capped out objective and nothing else. There's more to a match than just holding m1 and is not a reason to DC, if you're team mates are trash them it's easier to farm them for emblems.

I just attribute it to SDE mainly.

I don't know why people are still bothering to make posts complaining about DCs when it's temporary.

Because temporary things from behaviour have a very vague definition of "temporary", given some of the long-lived bugs and problems in this game.

I'm not defending D/cing but let me put it in another way:

Killer mains (especially red rank killers) hold the mentality that they can tunnel, camp, slug and just pull every scummy move to win the match, because they do not care about the survivor's fun. They want to win. And they'll do whatever it takes to ensure the win.

Survivor mains in red ranks, at least the tryhards, will gen rush and hold the mentality that if a killer can't spread pressure around the map, its their fault and they deserve to lose. These survivors want to get out/win. They don't care about your fun just like a tryhard killer doesn't care about a survivor's.

Now apply that mentality to D/cing and it makes a lot of sense why people do it.

Yes it sucks, but its going to keep happening. And truthfully, a grand majority DO NOT CARE about the other team's enjoyment. This is a PvP multiplayer game. You can't expect people to stick around when THEY are not having fun, but for some reason there's this mentality that even if you're having the worst time in your match, you're somehow obligated to stick it out for your team/the match's health.

Its so backwards. You can't have it both ways.

I just Dc personally on 2 big things.

Killers: RPD Police department. This map is literally the worst map in Dbd, it offers no fun gameplay for the Killer except Stealth Killers. Every other Killer with a fun power cant use it there. I refuse to play a game where I cant use the ability of the game that offers me. Also this map is just increadable big which makes it impossible to navigate properly, to protect the gens, you most likely have to just let them go which is very unfun and boring.

Survivor: A Killer with a very bad connection that is lagging and with very weird hitboxes.

Both of these things dont happen so often, I maybe get both of these situations maybe once a day. For me ppl who are able to play with these circumstances are increadable to endure that kind of agony, I cant understand how though, I personally play a game to have fun so thats why I dont waste my time with unfun or frustrating things. Very simple concept.

However I agree that ppl who dc on literally small things like a killer they dislike, a perk they dislike ( I had once a swf that dcd on my oni cuz I used Infectious fright) or a different map other then RPD.

Are always talking about punishment in games, which does very little most of the time. You have to get to the root of the issue, why are people disconnecting? Is it because they're going against certain killers they don't like? And why don't they like these killers? Why do killer sometimes disconnect against survivors?

Despite what some people might think players who play killer play it for fun and when a survivor suddenly leaves the game is bassicly over.

Being left only with the choice of completly stomping and making the match a complete loss for the remaining ones so you can get into a real game

Or letting them farm wasted a ton of time not playing the game you meant to play

So don't give me that silly remark it doesn't hurt the killer. It hurts every participant of the game

I'll never understand disconnects when someone is being carried to their last hook (or even after they're put on it), and people disconnecting when the gates open (or the most confusing of all, after the last survivor escapes but before the match fully ends).

You're potentially seconds away from the match being over without any disconnecting, just wait a tiny bit longer lmao.
