New Anti Slug and Abandon

Hello everyone…
If the new Anti Slug comes into the game should the abandon option still be a thing?
I mean the survivors are no longer hold hostage and it is a disadvantage for the Killer to let them all slugged.


Don´t understand me wrong i play both sides a lot and on both sides the frustration got bigger.
I can´t give Survivors Hatch as Killer
I can´t make a sneaky come back with UB and WGLF (my staple perks) because the moment all my mates go down they dc faster than the light.

    But if the Killer is waiting for one Survivor to knock him down all the time, the rest of the Team can pick themself up or am I wrong here?

    Likewise you can´t abandon when other Survivors are working with the killer only when he slugs them too.

    So abandon should be there to minimize the toxicity of humping, Tbagging is okay? Or should the killer be allowed to abandon when the Exit Gates are open?

    I think it should stay. It does not affect the gameplay.
    The patch notes said tha abandon option is also available if you recover using the new system twice. That could help if you are facing a killer who only purpose on the match is to slug (using tracking perks to down you again several times).
    In the other hand, if you are using a killer that survivors don't like, you will end with 4 survivor bots, the abandon system still cover you if you do not want to play with bots.

    I actually believe that the Killer should be allowed to abandon the game when the Exit Gates are open. Just instantly disconnect and go straight to the Killer lobby. I'm not exaggerating, such an option will be huge for the game's actual because a) if Killer is having a bad day and happened across a bully squad, they aren't made guilty for not enduring their mockery, b) it discourages exit gate BM because Killer no longer has to be present for this, c) it will encourage Killers to keep playing and even make them more at peace with not winning of the time because they no longer have to deal with abuse.

    I also believe killers should be able to abandon sooner too. I've only noticed the option pop up once or twice in my matches.

    That being said, I've gotten some last second kills from people acting stupid at the gates. But as surv, there's little you can do if the killer hovers over you and just keeps whacking you every time you try to stand up.

    Anti slug and abandon should both exist, but I'm not sure they need to add the extra abandon option if you've been slugged a couple times. That seems unnecessary and far too broadly defined imo.

    Even with the ability to pick yourself up, getting slugged over and over is boring as crap, so I'm glad for the abandon option in that circumstance.

    I havn´t played in the last month so maybe someone can clear it up for me.

    It is possible to abandon when you are the only one slugged? Isn´t this the same like going next on hook then?
    I only knew that you can abandon the match when all survs are unable to do something like being slugged or hooked but this shouldn´t be possible after the anti slug right?
