    5 minutes is like half the match length and it's just going to lead to killers instant d/cing due to map or survivors instant d/cing due to killer. As good intention as you have about this, this would be too easy for people to exploit and most games wouldn't end with 5 human players.

    While it sucks you had to d/c vs hackers, getting a 30 minute penalty meant you had d/ced a few times before it.

    Yeah I did like twice today one bc ppl were refusing to leave the game and tbagging and I didnt want to waste my time, other time was bc of hackers, got hackers twice ina row, and if 5 mins is to much make it 2, and ppl already dc if they get a bad map. theres ppl that dc if they hear a nurse blink


    just saying there needs to be a system in place that dosent punish you for leaving a game if there are hackers

    If you're getting 30 minutes, you dc too much. I get 30 right now, but I've been dealing with a connection issue, so I know I'm DCing too much. Takes a few DC's to get to 30 minutes. I understand leaving because of cheaters, but when you leave your teammates regularly, you're causing a problem. Bots are better than nothing, but you should have been better than bots.

    So quit doing that. If you want out, be super altruistic and go out helping your team. It's not a big commitment, ten minutes.

    If you get 30min from one DC, you DC a lot mate.

    The problem is the current exploit has become so rampant, they need to just killswitch flashlights already.

    Exactly why this shouldn't be implemented.

    They already cannot differentiate between connection issues and a manual DC right now, let alone when hacking is involved.

    Maybe if they had a built-in match recording and/or triggers like "max speed possible is bla bla, cheats if more" kinda tracking, but apparently they'd have to recode the game from scratch to have those.

    And as others have pointed out, if you got to 30 minutes that's too many DC's fam.
