More Abandon Options

For Killer and Survivor: During the Endgame Collapse. sometimes as killer you dont feel like trying for a better result and just want to get to the next game, the game is effectively over at this point anyway. gate 1v1s are one of the most boring parts of the game for both sides and usually you just want to get out asap, theres no real difference between 3k and 4k at this point

Survivor: When there are 2 Survivors left alive, and one of them enters the dying state. slugging for 4k is a huge waste of time for survivors and they have literally nothing to do in this moment, unless they can somehow greed for a better result near the end of the game. otherwise they should be able to abandon and not have time wasted

    I would also add that the abandon option should be available when there's two bots in a match, and more than 3 gens. It's a waste of everyone's time. The killer could win if they were playing with their feet, and the human survivors are often bored out of their minds because the killer tunnels the bots out, and then it's just hiding for the rest of the match.

    For Killer: I wouldn't mind allowing "Forfeiture" for any reason at all, at any point after (let's just say) 90 seconds into the match.

    You can't just say, "Oops, you win!" as soon as the match starts, but after some token amount of time, you should be able to Abandon whenever you want. It's not like you're "ruining the game for your teammates" or anything.

    Survivors are trickier, but I like your suggestions.

    i agree on principle that a killer DC is overall less unhealthy than a survivor DC, but i do think its generally better to encourage people to play out games to learn, potentially comeback, learn something new etc and a killer DC can deny certain achievements and such (adepts, map specific escapes, outbreak breakout etc). thatd need to be fixed first if they wanted to implement that kind of feature

    with so many abandon options for survivors its getting to a point that survivors can abandon whenever they want. all down? abandon. all bots? abandon. downed twice? abandon. last person downed? abandon. but all survivors at the gate, fully healed, tbagging? can the killer abandon? hell no lol the best abandon option killer has is if survivors cant do gens in 10min so survivors fail to do their objective and the killer can take the loss. crazy system

    I would like it so killers can abandon whenever. Sometimes you just get the most toxic surviviors or something comes up. Other times youre trying a killer out for the first time and you get the most skilled swf ever.

    I would also like it to let survivors abandon if theyre being tunneled. theyre gonna be out of the game anyway, at least let them end it on their own terms.

    Yeah, your two ideas make sense. I agree, the current in-game options are solid and feel good, but adding a few more wouldn’t hurt. Sometimes matches drag because of stuff like this, so it could save time.
