I think Killers are literally falling asleep waiting in 2v8 queues.

I won't lie — I try really hard to stay available when I'm waiting for a match, but if the wait is too long, I tab out of the window or sometimes leave my computer to go get a snack or something. If someone's been waiting 15-20 minutes, I'm not totally surprised if they aren't staring at the screen the whole time.

I've had this happen to me a few times, and I've accidentally done it once, where I forgot about the fact that I was in queue then started cooking something. There is a system in place that applies a DC penalty to you if you AFK the whole match, but I think if you don't move for 60 seconds upon game start it should kick you out so you become a bot. This way the match isn't ruined for everyone else, you can adjust the time up if you think 60 seconds is too little given how long queues are.

As for the length of queues, the novelty of killing with someone else is too much to really be able to do anything about queue times. Maybe +400% bloodpoint incentive on survivors, but I doubt even that would be enough.

I am not gonna lie, its 1:42am and I am yawning sitting here while I wait to get in. LOL. The adrenaline wears off and then a wave of sleepiness hits me LOL.

You should try wacking a few killers with a pallet to wake them up. I wonder if that idea ever CROSSED your mind :p

Where exactly is it stated you get a DC penalty for being AFK all match? Never have i known that to be a thing in DBD and never seen it stated anywhere.

There has been an issue with AFK killers in 2v8 who are doing it just to be malicious but I do think an auto kick feature would be good for afk killers and survivors.

my own personal experience, but also google it and you will see. I do not think it was ever in patch notes.

I typically hang my headphones around my neck and scroll on my phone for those long waits. I can still hear when I get into a lobby that way. Wouldn't surprise me one bit though if people got caught using the bathroom or something. You don't wanna get out of queue if nature calls 15 minutes into waiting.

I attempted to play as the killer in a 1v4 match, but the queue times were still long. I often forget that I queued up for a game, and by the time I remember, the match is already halfway over. I will take another break until this frustrating game mode is gone!

I only played 3 killer games last night , I was lucky that my teammates were never AFK. I have killer anxiety, it would be scray if I had to deal with 8 survivors alone. I would probebly never touch killer again.

But I found myself getting really bored during the waitung times (20 minutes average) , and reading something in the browser or watching videos doesn´t really help if you´re not in the mood for reading/watching videos. If I want to play a game, I actually want to PLAY something.

I wish it would somehow be possible to play killer custom games while waiting in queue. I don´t thing that would be possible but it would be so much better.

Because everyone wants to play the easy and unique side of the game. Not enough survivors to fill the people that just want to steamroll

Reminds me what Overwatch did. Instead of sitting at the menu screen while waiting in queue, they'd load you in a practice match with other people who are also waiting.

Had that happen one time. I slapped the Slinger at the end of the match.

I tend to open my sketch book while waiting.
