Game is unplayable at night due to afk killers
Sometimes i can't sleep so i go play some dbd matches, The game becames unplayable at 3-4 am, i can guarantee you that 8 out of 10 matches are afk killers swiping their weapon around, i know most of them are deranking or trying to earn some BP but daam, i don't mind getting 1 or 2 afk killers but 4 IN A ROW like i had last night that's just too much, it litteraly becames a generator repair simulator, all you do is gens and leave and repeat if you get other afk killer, the match can last up to 10 minutes it all depends on the teammates you get, since i only get noob players that instead of doing gens they are just tea baging the killer, the matches end up lasting way longer. They need to fix this, afk killers who constantly go afk need to be banned, they are ruining the experience for me and other players, at this point i just stay in my phone waiting until i get a match where the killer is finnaly not afk

Keep in mind that there's a bug on the PS platforms that make players entirely unable to move. This will obviously appear as an AFK player, but it's not intentional.

Four in a row seems to be a different beast.
I've got a few issues myself today. One game where I got disconnected during loading ... and noticed a DC penalty coming back three minutes (~2 minutes left)
I've got the game closing on its own while queuing (only once).
Who knows what else is broken at the moment?

Damn the opposite happens to me. Pretty much anytime between 12AM-5AM I can expect full meta survivors with 3-4 medkits some with styptics and the chance that they dc is low. I don't mind sweat, ill just match it.

Yeah same, tbh I rarely ever see AFK killer bots these days and if I do I no longer bother reporting them, I just get all the points I can and get out

Besides the issues with the game currently given above, this also speaks to the population available. With the mass exodus of players this past summer the playerbase dropped by so much that BHVR had to loosen regional restrictions on the global servers you can connect to (which is currently causing lag issues for many players). With the Halloween Event over, more people have left. So what you're probably seeing is a similar percentage of players AFK, it's just because of the lower population you're running into them more often during some hours.

What time zone are you?

They don't move because they're sleeping at that time

Are you actually reporting them because if not they probably wont get punished.
Personally i dont report the afk killers running script because I can farm off them but i will report the ones that are afk doing nothing because those ones suck.

Chicago/cst. Although if it wasn't clear I am playing killer and my mmr should be super high, so maybe at those time's mmr actually functions for killers.

Even more afk killers this week. I just got 6 in a row this morning, with 5 of them being doctor. Why am I even still playing the game? Fix the game already, this is a joke.
