Temporary solution to excessive slugging (until full self-recovery is implemented)

Now that we have bots: if a survivor has been slugged for half the bleedout duration (2 of the 4 minutes), they should be allowed to disconnect without a penalty and keep the (likely very few) Bloodpoints they have accumulated. Then they will be replaced with a bot.

I've suggested an option to bleed out faster in the past, but having bots changes things.

    They're not implementing basekit self-recovery.

    Even more reason to implement this. Maybe give survivors a safe disconnect after 1 minute if there is no other solution coming.

    Slugging is not an issue that warrants a fix literally ever

    The amount that people want to implement "fixes" for alternate playstyles just because they don't find them fun is frankly absurd. Tunneling shouldn't of been fixed, camping shouldn't be fixed.

    You know what I don't find fun? Being forced to play the exactly how the opposite team want me to play

    ain't nobody forcing nothing on you, you just made that up so you could have something to be mad at

    Streamer slugs a survivor and repeatedly downs them immediately after they were picked up by another survivor. That survivor got to do nothing the whole game and died with 4k points. Streamer then called them entitled when that survivor went into their stream.

    Slugging is fine. Slugging, just to slug; just to prevent 1 player from playing at all, needs to go. The bot lets the match carry on like normal. Meanwhile, the slugged player can move on and start getting points in the next match.

    Maybe they should make recovery speed faster when another survivor do it, so like that it can be less viable

    Normal slugging is fine, but the bleeding people out thing isn’t fine. That said, the bleeding people out thing is so rare that it’s not an issue that needs dressing.

    "until full-self recovery is implemented"

    Not gonna happen. The only problematic slugging is slugging for 4k. All that's needed is give both players basekit UB if two players are left alive, or allow last slug to bleed out faster if they wish to.

    Base kit Unbreakable will not be in the game. Not sure if Finisher Mori was scrapped because of that backlash or not but that is the reason why it won't be in game anymore.
