Anyone else noticing a lot of rage quitting lately?

I'm not noticing any more ragequitting than normal, and I also keep track of my matches.

Mine is just a simple spreadsheet listing the Killer, Survivors, perks, map, # of gens done, # of escapes, BP scores and special notes (which would include if someone got tunneled, or DC'd/threw on hook, hatch escapes, or things like that.  I don't have any fancy charts or graphs to depict a specific rate of any particular note; I really don't know how to do any of that stuff.

I'm not sure what you mean by "sample size," but if you want to check out my spreadsheet, I have it here (this covers January-July 2024 so far).

I've noticed also more dcs or hook kills than usual. I guess, the problem is that many players are still in the 2v8 (there I have nearly no dcs or hook kills). So maybe more give up players are in the 1v4. I think with the end of 2v8, 1v4 will become a lot better but I am not sure because something in my mind thinks that players will give up more because they think "2v8 was so better than this, I don't wanna play this match anymore".

The problem is that dcing or dying on hook has no real punishment for the player. Players who have unlocked everything know this and do it if they want - in fact hook kill gets rewarded with BP and XP. They do it for the tiniest reasons like they don't like the killer, the map, the perk, the chase, or when a hit looks weird (they are like snowflakes). AFK players, on the otherside, might be because the queue time is longer and they go afk. The Lara in your post might be that she wanted the hatch or something. Some players are really selfish, especially when an archive or achievement comes into play.

Peanits, one of the developers, responded to this situation and said it is difficult to force someone to play a match that they don't want to play - which is funny because killers have no other choice than to dc to end a game and then why did this person joined the lobby. Survivors can do a hook kill or run to the killer and then die. Year, the problem is not the game but rather the player. However, in my opinion, the hook kills are the biggest issues because they are so free and easy. The developers should add a restriction to the 4%: You can no longer try an escape when you're the only hooked survivor (and when no other survivor is in dyingstate). Having no 4% in the 2v8 is possible and has a positive effect and I think it will also be good for the 1v4. Of cause, the survivor can still run to the killer and end this game on this way but then the killer has the choice to slug them - either dc, bleed out, or play the match. In addition, it is so stupid that one person can ruin the fun of four other players. Another option is to improve the report system and add the option to report players that give up but this would lead in more work and I guess the developers are not interested in this.

Are you playing SWF? You said solo is bad, well that implies killers are too strong. 5K hours but your skill means nothing unless you are in your favorite SWF. The skill floor is not attainable to play the game because you need the killer to be horrible at the game and the survivors to be 5K hours. It's a mess alright.

No, fortunately. I had a game today where I accidentally missed a skill check so my team might have thought I was. I did hit my next two though.

Only thing we can do to "fix" this problem is literally increasing punishment for those kind of acts and removing bad players from the game, at least we can make matches lot healthier this way

But considering the money or whatsoever, we wouldn't get anything like that

If MMR has found you a killer with whom you have a chase for 3 seconds, then what is the point of continuing to play?
And also the opposite situation - why try to play against a killer who doesn’t even know that a hit can be made with a lunge?

BHVR can't entice people to play as survivors because playing for them is just terribly boring than playing as a killer, all that helps is playing with friends, and God forbid that they are all not completely sick of it, otherwise they will play as toxic as possible

BHVR, as true specialists, by the way, reduces the cooldowns on such perks as flashbangs and mines, so survivors can be even more salty, good job so far

Moreover, with their new map design and a plentiful bunch of bugs that have already become standard, people on survivors burn out even faster, due to unfair hits, map bugs, or just bugs out of the blue

I have friends who are killer / survivors mains, so when we invited the killer main to play with us as survivor, he said that the Huntress is a cheater
Why? He got hit through the textures, welcome to the world of survivors

I'm not worried about MMR, and never have been. How can anyone objectively assess matchmaking when many people used the prestige system to lobby shop?

It's being disabled, and since you can't view the profiles of people of different platforms, the task becomes tougher to lobby shop to the point of not being worth it. Maybe now MMR has a chance to work properly.

The fundamental issue survivors face is you are by design reliant on your teammates. It doesn't matter if you buy 90 seconds for your team if they don't use it. Similarly if those same players don't loop effectively while you're on gens, you can't get things completed.

This means as survivor you're reliant on your team, as you should be... but majority of survivors I listen to want to be master of their own fate, and have the power to loop the killer for 5 gens and still get out...

This desire is diametrically opposed to the very concept of the game... if you don't want to rely on your teammates, you're playing the wrong game, and is just an unrealistic expectation if you genuinely believe the game should be balanced for both sides.

Personally, I've been playing survivor much more lately due to blood point rewards, and I've been having loads of fun... yesterday I played maybe 12 games and survived 2 of them... but even if I haven't escaped often myself, I've had plenty of 2 and 3 man outs, with a couple of 4 man outs too (yes the 2 I escaped were the 4 man outs). That tends to be the curse of the player that actually does manage to hold the killers attention.

I did make notes in the "special notes" whether dying on hook was intentional or not; I.e. "Threw on second hook" (intentional) vs. "Died on second hook" (unintentional).  I understand how that could have been confusing.

ETA: Also, I did take a gander at your spreadsheet.  I do like all the details, but I tried to avoid as much side scrolling as possible in my own spreadsheet.  All that side scrolling makes the data hard to follow, imo.  But I might just make another column for additional details of the match, describing events or actions that led to our success or failure.

I think some of it has been legit technical issues. Over the past two patches, I've been DC'd by the game way more than usual.

3rd match. A Cheryl player dc's first thing in the match (could be a crash, though, since they were doing gens). Versing a Doctor. The trial went on 'normally'. When in Madness tier 3, as it usually happens lately, holding M1 to 'Snap out of it' is glitched and randomly stops working which sometimes causes you to scream and revert the progress. I didn't realize Doctor had been buffed in such a realistic and immersive way.

Edit: Not playing anymore by now. I'm changing to Smite or Elden Ring.

People keep making excuses for rage quitting and BHVR refuses to address it, so it's just going to keep getting worse until BHVR actually does something.

I rage quit a lot if I'm playing a weaker killer and meet SWFS that sprint the hell out before i even get to the gen, knowing they're on comms and call out everything.

It's simply just not fun at all, you start chasing someone, instantly the other 3 survivors are hugging gens. I swear SWFS on comms are like borderline cheating

No more than usual.

Usually the entitled survivor bringing the map offering is the first one to give up and ruin the match for his team.

DC penalties aren't high enough.

DC penalties have to affect all forms of D/Cs, otherwise you just create a means to bypass the penalty like hook suicides currently do.

The game can't determine that you disconnected due to internet issues. You turning off your router or your routing turning off due to a power outage is the exact same thing as far as code can tell.

The game can't determine intent and thus all d/cs must be treated the same.

Using the "Leave Match" button isn't the only way someone could quit out of a match. You can force close the program, you can manually turn off the router. Checking only the "leave match" button for penalty would solve nothing and would only cause people using alternatives ways to quit to avoid a penalty as we already see with the how common survivors suiciding on hook is.
