DC penalty revisit is in order
First 2-3 dcs within a certain timespan should not be punished with penalties, they should be applied starting from 3rd-4th dc (and maybe starting with 5 or 10 min, not 1). Why? Because if people want to give up, they'll give up on hook or go afk which defeats the entire purpose of bots which never get to replace people who give up. This way, at least bots get to replace them so somewhat normal match experience is partially preserved. And if they continuously dc within a certain timespan, then (and only then) they should be considered rage-quitters and be punished.
You could say, oh well then everyone's gonna be giving up and the game will die. Somehow dbd survived its first 3-4 years or however long it has been around without dc penalties and it's always been alive and kicking.

Nah, some are even playing to solely speed run challenges so that wouldn't help
People not only suicide to avoid the penalty, but to get the XP and challenge completions too

I'm with you. It is unreasonable to have to receive a penalty even if you encounter a cheater and the match becomes impossible and you have to disconnect. During about 1 hour and 4 games today, I encountered a cheat who accelerated and a cheat who could see through the wall (when I stopped through the wall, the opponent also stopped, so that's probably what happened).

Sure, but it's going to work same for killers. Good luck using Garden of Joy offering.

Killers already DC when things don't go their way (they can't get a down on their first chase or someone flashlight saves/sabotages) so...garden of joy or not, same thing.

I see soooooo many survivors dc when found first it’s ridiculous. Dc penalties should stay as they are.

Not just cheaters, but griefers too. If you get unhooked spammed or body blocked in a corner you have to sit there and take it or be forced to leave the match and receive a matchmaking ban, it's really bad game design. That's why I've been advocating for those two things to be removed as griefers get off on ruining other people's game experiences

I've been able to get bhvr to ban every single player I've seen doing this (bodyblocking in a corner), survivors AND killers. It sucks when it happens but seeing the little ban notification popping up feels good.

Yeah, I would still love for unhook spamming and purposely body blocking to be removed though. The less tools griefers can use the healthier this game will be

If you're using Garden offering, you don't deserve normal gameplay anyway I'm gonna be honest

I agree, it makes the bot rework useless if it’s more desirable to just remove yourself from the match ASAP.

I personally think the penalties are fine. Just don't DC lol.
What needs to be changed is the way reporting is done in general. Why at the end of the game but not during via the options screen? It would allow for almost "live" reports when someone does decide to check the gameplay and it would realistically make report checking faster if it's done by a team.
