Give people who disconnect on the first down/hook a harsh penalty

Yeah Survivors should be untouchable for the first down! Till they got 5 Stuns on the Killer or the Exit Gates are open!!!! /s

I understand where you come from but it´s sad reality that people dc on first down no matter if the match is fun or not.

I think one hour bann is way to long for this but OP got a point.

It is frustrating to play Survivor and you can bet with your mates that the random will dc in the first 30 seconds if he gets downed for whatever reason.

So Killer has to ask for permission before he downs the first survivor if the game is fun enough to down them?

Op ask specifically about people who get downed first, there is no camping, slugging or tunneling with the first down so what is a fun game? If the Survivor loops the Killer for 5 Gens?

I think the first disconnect should result in a 24 hour ban, having two disconnects within your 20 match grace amount should give a 7 day ban, and the third disconnect within 20 matches permanently bans your account.

Don´t get me wrong I understand that games can be frustrating, tunneling, slugging etc can be annoying to deal with.

But what has happend that someone feels like he has the right to dc on the first down. Is the sole reason for I got outplayed a reason to throw the whole game?

I was playing naughty bear (aka trapper) and had a survivor dc almost as soon as the match started and another dc on first down.

I hadn't even put down a single trap and 2 players left the match.

It's not like it's an op killer so why bother playing.

I didn't continue. Let them do gens and leave because there's zero fun chasing bots and the other survivors game was ruined by the selfish actions of the two that dc'd.

It's actually getting out of hand and I agree that a harsher penalty is needed although what that is should be up for debate between devs and players from both sides.

On a side note why do survivors dc on death hook?

The games over for you and you lose everything just because you lost and think ha ha you didn't get to hook me for the third time.

Pathetic childish behaviour.

Yeah no. Having those even more insane penalties would obliterate solo queue entirely. Because no one would even want to play solo queue. Basically requiring people to play Killer or SWF just to play the game at all should not be a thing.

And I'm speaking as a solo queue Survivor who has no SWF to play with.

It would literally make no difference to me because i don't rage quit my games like a child throwing a tantrum.

And I'm speaking as a solo queue survivor who has no SWF to play with.

Not saying it should be okay, but I recognize that it happens to the best of us sometimes, and the penalty being proposed be OP would not be okay in any circumstances.

People do DC for the weirdest reasons, I do feel it’s hurt ego.

If you mind game a loop and down someone and they DC.
They try to sabotage and you make another hook.
They miss a flashlight save.
Funniest was picking up first down near a pallet and I swung out, they dropped it and missed the save and instantly DC’d. Like what 😂 hilarious.

So frustrating to be a survivor when this stuff happens though, especially when you almost win the game still and if that person had just stayed and played it out you all would’ve escaped.

Sometimes it’s not even a DC though presumably to avoid the penalty, they’ll just stand there and put the controller down so there’s not even a bot.

It’s the mentality that needs to change imo. During the discussions about the Japan stats recently it was said that they almost never give up and their escape rate for all survivors SWF or not was almost 50%.

1 hour is too much. would be fine if it was ranked, but it isnt. 20-30 mins for a dc after first down/hook seems better. or even since we have bots, let people have the option to reconnect to the match after losing connection/dc-ing. i dc a lot on other games and then join back like instantly (just needed the dopamine hit from smashing the leave match button out of frustration sometimes lol)

but also you cant punish someone for not wanting to stay in a lobby with 200ms blight or whatever, thats why i dc most times in dbd anyways. load in, see a number above 100 and it doesnt go down = dc. id rather save myself the misery and eat a penalty since i already know too well what the outcome of that match will be and how much enjoyment from it ill get. sorrynotsorry

It is VERY much a valid argument once you see the amount of people who DC over the littlest of things. I thought it was back in the day when people would give up over not getting their Deliverance. But now if its any little thing like a chase going badly or simply a weak killer they don't like they just give up on hook or DC.

Can be there at least minimaly like 5 000 blood points reward for all players left in the match for each leaver and this blood points shouldnt count into any category for survivor or killer they should be just like event points.

I specifically state two tap hacker which is a type of hacker that will instantly down people in chase with a instant two tap ( (using m1 twice) . its not suspecting its knowing basic game knowledge that killers can not two tap instantly.

i mention that type because if we are changing it so people who dc on first down get a hour penalty people who dc against that will also get a hour penalty

Ok so what you're telling me is it's ok to give up and throw the entire match if I went down in a way I don't agree with which a noticeable amount of people do in this game. Ok I'll go into matches and do JUST that and see how much the 4 other players enjoy that and proceed to advocate for no DC penalty. Every time I don't like X killer I'll just run to the killer post unhook and force him to either slug me or hook me to take me out of the game faster since I'm not having fun so the game should be balanced around me. See what I'm getting at? It's not possible to balance for the majority if the majority is… not willing to even play the game.

Also give up on hook still is possible it's called bringing luck offerings and so you get to attempt the 4%. It's just 2nd stage takes a bit longer now.

That has nothing to do with what I posted. It's interesting that I state how BHVR should make the game enjoyable for everyone and your response is "There are four other people in every game and you are not more important than any of them". What an odd thing to post as a rebuttal.

Killers do it all the time in SoloQ, I can't imagine how much they do it when facing a SWF. Today alone, there were 4 Killers that DC'd at various stages of the match, from when they couldn't down and tunnel someone before the first gen was done, to DCing right when the exit gates were opened, so it's not only a Surv issue, it's a DBD issue. The game is so generally miserable if you're not playing SWF, that most players are DCing lol SO AGAIN, maybe DBD should focus less on punishments and more on ways to actually make the game fun and balanced, so that people don't want to DC and want to partake in a fun match. Will there be 100% participation 100% of the time? No, but that's no excuse not to try and make the game better for everyone instead of only catering to SWF's and the highest tier Killers.

It's a both sides issue that 100% affects SoloQ though. Survs DCing ruins the game for the remaining Survs while any match that seems to be going well, Killers DC, which again ruins the game for the remaining Survs.

Getting slapped with 7 consecutive SoloQ matches where Survs DC at the slightest inconvenience so the game is a waste, to then get slapped with a matches where the Killer DC's at the slightest inconvenience, isn't rewarding or facilitating fun. The only group having fun are SWF's and S-Tier Killers.

So again, for like the umpteenth time, maybe just maybe, BHVR should focus on making the game enjoyable and less about punishment. Also, you have no authority over anyting, IDC if you agree about lowering penalties, but objectively the game is having serious issues that BHVR isn't properly addressing.
