when is reconnect option being added / changes to DC penalty?

Makes no sense to have DC penalties that don't reset when there isn't a reconnect option. Connection quality dips for less than 10 seconds at any point during a game & the experience goes from a mild inconvenience to ruining the match for everyone because there isn't a way back into the game after those 10 seconds, plus there is no reason to be disconnected in such a short time frame anyways.

despite having no issues in majority of my matches, DC penalties still keep stacking up yet only 1 out of every 25-30 matches my connection dips for a very small window of time BHVR literally forcing the disconnect as I know they could [like most games / services] provide a little more time to reestablish the connection and/or provide the option to reconnect to the match.

There is no rationality in having extended periods of disconnection penalties beyond 1 hour in any situation, the length of a match rarely exceeds 20 minutes & people who want to disconnect won't do so willingly because the penalty is longer already. Going beyond that, ex 6 hours, 12, 24, 72, 168, is useless and likely to cause more problems than it solves by further increasing toxicity and issues like smurfing.

The only people inconvenienced at all by disconnects on their team / from the killer are people who take this game too seriously and are horribly toxic individuals unworthy of love aka red ranks and most streamers. If my whole team is a SWF and I get dced in the match, my team will not care and the killer will be more than happy about it.

This game costs $20 USD and with all of the P2W bs being pumped into the game, costs a lot, the idea that BHVR is unable to find the capital to research the concept of reconnecting when connection is lost is baffling when they expect each player to give them $300+ each atp.

On a casual level this game has become frustrating, before in 2020 DCs would happen but they were still quite rare and the penalties were never bad. Yet the toxic red ranks ruin everything, why can't the penalties just be for them? OR as my research on this subject leads me to believe, you could just pay attention to what your community has been saying during the entirety of 2023.

At the very minimum consider other options for penalties that aren't just "######### off" like BP related or smth. lower priority queues.

The game is at a point where the "penalty" does nothing to people with good connection, because they will just go AFK in a corner or purposefully lose the game as quickly as possible. It is delusional to think that this system achieves anything good for the health of the game at all.
