People just dc instead of self unhooking now

If someone DCs that match doesn't get counted towards killer stats it gets thrown out. Survivors who go next on hook however do.

Rage quitting is what happens when you balance the game heavily in favor of killers to sell more licensed pay to win DLC like Kaneki. The intentional 60/40 target is to aim for imbalance, which violates game theory and thus creates frustration (for survivors) and boredom (for killers) instead of a flow state.

The flow state is achieved through an optimized ratio of challenge and reward, which is 50/50. The fact that DBD is asymmetrical is no excuse to imbalance the PvP, because asymmetrical has always referred to the roles of 1 killer vs 4 survivors, ever since the inception of the game. It has nothing whatsoever to do with a difficulty imbalance for either side. Killer mains just now use this "asymmetrical" term to defend poor balancing decisions that have largely ruined the player experience.

All games have rage quitters because any game can get frustrating in certain scenarios. The issue is that DBD has the most rage quitters of any PvP I've ever played, and this is entirely a game design issue. Only masochists will willingly be the pinata for a low skill killer mains power fantasy. Anyone else who values their sanity just quits the game and ideally uninstalls, because a game without fair counter play isn't worth playing.

Not super surprising. People are going to turn to anything else that lets them quit. Most probably aren't DC'ing, they'll just be soft quitting. No way to police that.

Perhaps we should start fixing pain points.

No where did I say that they shouldn't be punished.

I merely said that people have already found alternatives, and that it would appear that the system isn't really accomplishing much except changing the method by which people give up.

It will take more than punishments to change attitudes.

Yeah except giving up isn't breaking any rules.

You can't possibly force people to try.

Ragequitting is breaking the rules.

It’s the reason why it has a punishment associated with it, and it’s the reason why people aren’t allowed to admit or encourage it.

I just want the ragequitters to get the DC penalties they are supposed to get.

If someone ragequits, they are SUPPOSED TO get a DC penalty. We have multiple people on these forums, admitting the ragequitters are finding other ways to bypass the DC penalties; and that shouldn’t be allowed.

They already have different levels of punishment. Hacking is a permanent ban, while ragequitting is only the DC penalty.

And it should be one of BHVR’s highest priorities, to try to fix the ragequitting detection issue. These people are breaking game rules.

Other PvP games manage to have ragequitting penalties for inting, so it’s a very possible goal. (Inting in this game, would be things like purposely running up to the killer, or purposely not trying when the killer is chasing them)

If feeding got you banned in OW, the world would be a better place.

But also OW would have no players, we all feed a little bit lmao

Feeding is literally in Blizzard's Code of Conduct, as a reportable offense that can have penalties.

And feeding is the equivalent of inting in DBD, where DBD survivors do things like purposely run to the killer with the intent of getting hooked quickly.

According to Coffee, there's probably not.

Anything less than maximum effort appears to be quitting. What they are actually trying to do is ban for intent.

Your statement doesn't mean anything.

I can honestly say I've never seen anyone banned in Marvel Rivals, for any reason at all.

Chasing someone around the hook and stopping chase once the Surv leaves the hook area in favor to sit a meter outside the radius, is camping, it doesn't matter how many times you people try to talk about whataboutisms, it's camping and should be deterred/penalized. It's literally a core issue with the game rn, that and tunneling/slugging. Also it's not getting someone off hook for free, it's still taking a hook stage from that Surv.

This isn't 2016, doing gens is not countering camping unless you're in a SWF, SoloQ is not coordinated enough for that because BHVR refuses to balance the two very different Surv roles, so things need to change. Otherwise it's really trivial to even be on a discussion about SoloQ Survs Dcing because it seems like most of you aren't really interested in solving it, just interested in tacking on more obscure DC penalty requirements which will lead to nothing but inflated wait times and more SWFs to face.

I'd welcome someone actually trying to discuss what can be done, not low brow replies about literally nothing… meanwhile here I go facing the 300th lethal pursuer blight this week that hooks someone 10 seconds into the match and then just camps hook to slug anyone that gets close or the 150th Billy who just revs his chainsaw directly outside the radius, waiting. Maps are tiny, gens are cramped, gen times have been increased, there are a plethora of perks to halt gens and slow them down even more. If someone is being camped at 5 gens before a 3rd of a single gen is completed in SoloQ, the match is cooked and that's quite often what is happening, which lead to people "going next".

I'll say this, it's been great rn with the DC penalty being removed :)

Hey the doom going 5-16 against Mauga is definitely not feeding.

Or he's just bad. Idk.

Same principle in DBD, except even more exacerbated due to DBDs garbage matchmaking. How do you determine intent?

The game could make an exception for survivors being surprised by undetectable killers, if the killer wasn’t ever in line of sight.

Eh, it takes a HUGE amount of force to get them to do the bare minimum sometimes.

Remember colorblind options? HUGE PR nightmare. Turns out, they could do it all along, they just didn't want to lol.

Zoom out. Why do people hate going down early?

Usually because it is easy to snowball. Once someone is dead at more than 2 gens remaining, the Killer wins.

We COULD address the imbalance of power in both the 4v1 and 3v1.

orrrrrrr, we could keep playing wack-a-mole and start banning more innocent players.

Then the game is doomed no matter what, if the vast majority DC instantly.
