Abandon feature for killers
As survivor i can abandon when the killer is wasting my time after all hope of escaping is gone. So why when all the survivors are standing in exit is there not a killer abandon feature? This is a clear double standard and there is viable reason that is isn't here yet.

This would result in most games being abandoned, shining light on how hard killers have it at the moment. It would cause a cascade of which we have never seen, resulting in BHVR being the real killer, of their only successful game.
In all seriousness, probably because the metrics for a killer being able to abandon their game would be really hard to manage. Would it be if all gens are done? What about if all gens are done + the killer not being in a chase? Maybe there could be, but I feel like it would be very hard to implement, but I also could be overlooking something idk.

It should be relatively simple. All gens done and a door opened. At that point there is no further objective for survivors. The only reason to stay is to be toxic and waste time. This is relatively simple and will save a lot of wasted time. I try to never DC but I can't tell you how many times I have switched to another game after waiting while survivors stand in exit until the very end. I don't DC but after that wait and time waste I don't feel like playing more DBD. It is a simple fix that would balance both sides who want to escape toxic behavior. It seems pretty straightforward

Or you could just hit them out. Get extra BP for hitting them.
I don't think its that deep fam.-11 -
Again, theres no skill expression in those gate hits, also if killer somehow manage to got survivor at gates it still happens due to survivor mistake but not good play from killer (if surv played it right its true lose lose), so killer should have choice to either farm bp from trolls or leave already finished game to not waste their time, its not that deep to oppose small QOL change that will improve gameplay per match time ratio and potentially reduce toxicity within community

If all remaining survs are standing in the exit gate the killer should be able to abandon.

Once the exit door open killer should be able to abandon there is no question about it period, if survivors are allowed to abandon because I got a down while the only other survivor is on hook I should be able to abandon once exit gates open specifically because survivors are camping exit gates for no good reason against m1 killers with no map traversal other than to waste time. I can't tell you how many times I have survivors abandon the mori just to wait in the end game lobby with the message "Enjoy the bot" and you can tell by the people on these forums that they clearly have a double standard when it comes to toxic behavior on the survivor side, they openly encourage it and discourage any change that would make killers less frustrated.
We aren't asking for an abandon feature the second all five gens are done, but any survivor player acting like camping an exit gate for the entire timer isn't a problem are most likely abusers who want to continue to annoy players in the killer role for no other reason than to be toxic and I completely agree that once exit gates are powered killers should have the option to abandon, either that or remove survivors ability to abandon all together, it's only fair. After all the reason the feature to abandon was even added was so that killers couldn't waste survivors time by making them wait an entire bleedout timer, why should killers be forced to walk across the map to guaranteed not get a kill while survivors waste the killers time by sitting at the exit gate for what is equivalent to an entire bleedout timer.

Most of then wont let you hit just stand there and bait you do edge just to escape and make you miss for their ego boost thats just thing that happens in my matches when I loose.

Because your view on this topic would meant that you denny survivor to enjoyment the triumph victory and denny them finall tbag which would be very rude and huge violation of their rights.
Such choice would show that devs are killer sided and that they dont want to survivors have some fun.
Your personal opinion on this double standart isnt very progressive and constructive and would ruin one of last enjoyment survivors have. *please dont take this serius its joke, everyone knows that the best way to make game better is just to buff survivors and give them validation they deserve from survivor rule book.

While I do agree that killer should be able to forfeit once the exit gates are open, the conditions for a survivor to forfeit specifically require helplessness. Even when survivors are dancing their behinds on the exit line, killers can still sometimes nab kills. 'just leave' is part of DBD idiom for a reason.
It's not a double standard.
8 -
That's how it is now with survivors already.
-1 -
Thats why that needs to be fixed by adding 10 seconds grace period before the abandon option appears so they can't abandon right away.
-7 -
So? Who cares. You don't know them.
This stuff will bother you if you let it. I don't know these people, their ego's mean nothing to me. If they make me miss a swing why would that bother you?-3 -
I don't really understand this whole argument that is being had here.
This stuff only will bother you if you let it. I started as a killer main and yeah I have my bad days where a survivor T bagging or what not. But at the end of the day it was because I, myself let their actions affect me. Guys come on, grow some thicker skin.

I would be fine with more killer abandon options only when they add killer bots so the match does not end
Bot does not have to be good, it does not have to use power, it just has to stop the game from just ending abruptly.
There is no double standard, if there was still no survivor bots survivors would also have very limit abandon options if any at all4 -
Same can be said about having abandon for mori when one side can skip these 8 seconds why other one cant skip the 6-12 second window or even little longer forcing someone from gate is dependent on more things like how many survivors are alive, perks like dead hard.
Its just doble standart one side can skip the short end while other cant, like it or not its just fact not all killers have blood warden build in basekit like twins.
0 -
Or you could just….Not mori them and skip the animation as well?
And second of all. What does me saying "Don't let their actions bother you" have to do with an abandon feature for the mori?
2 -
The abandon feature is not for survivors to stop the killer form wasting the time. It is to stop the killer from holding the game hostage. Because that's what they were doing. Just to to be toxic. And a little toxicity is normal. But not when they are dragging it out for minutes at a time.
So why don't killers get this. THEY DID, it's called the end game collapse which I support.
Seriously if you can't handle forcing people out the exit game you nay need to consider you can't handle online games.
1 -
Telling someone who plays DBD for years and played siedge that he cant handle online games is biggest lmao I had in time, I have stomach for more things even things some cant handle on this forum even imagining it, thank god for them all these things or almost all are banned here by rules.
Im here against this hypocrisy of one side leaving game after loss immideatly as that person wants while other cant, endgame collapse is 2 minutes if they arent downed or hooked and on these 2 minutes I can have another game.
-5 -
And waste 1k bp in 8 second action, tell me which action gives you more bp in same time and dont tell me hooking because before that you must go through long proces of chase, downing the survivor and than picking him up and succesfuly hooking him which are actions that take longer and can be dennied, mori cant.
Nothing just the thing when all survivors are in gate area why killer cant have abandon option when outcome is clear same with mori situation?
-3 -
It's 2 minutes if you do nothing, or go get BP, or spam power.
It's far less if you hit them out. And as someone who actually doesn't give a ######### about crouching, and you claim not to, I have never actually seen a full 2 minute end game collapse with the gates open. At least not with 4 survivors standing.
I hit them out. And doing so I've actually forced mistakes and extra kills because of it. And anyone who truly has thick skin has surely done the same over a long period of time.
Those are options not available to slugs. In fact, it's not even available unless very specific conditions are met. I had a match recently where I'm not sure what his issue was, but the slinger tunneled and slugged Nancy it for 4 minutes until she bled out. Threw the game for it, since we did gens. But she never got to abandon since 3 people were still standing. Pretty ######### gameplay for everyone, honestly. But still possible even right now.

Than they didnt hid till almost the end against m1 killer because if they did you would be there for long especialy if they were split on both gates.
Forcing mistake? If they arent brainless babyes than they will stand near edge so when you down them you cant get then and they will escape, as I mentioned above not all killers have power or addons to punish them for not leaving but someone with so much hours as you should know that.
That last paragraf of yours is lot chaotic to understand what happened? Because if survivor, same survivor is downed two times and he recovers to 95% the max point than he can abandon so unless you left her there with him on top of her than its possible she couldnt do much but if you picked her few times and he went only against her than its easy abandon, if he bled her out because you were around her and dennying him hook than I kinda get him why he bled her out but feeling salt for free escape even if it not feels right is another thing.
Im saying abandon option when gates are opened and all survivors are in gate area, thats compleatly same for killer as it is for all survivors (remaining) when they are sluged or when its just mori situation (doesnt mean he is last mori can happen when 2 are in game and one is hooked in second stage than the other one can be moried).
Only killers that can get gate downs to hook without depending on addons are twins (victor is blocking escape when survivor has him on his back), weskers grab, slinger pulling survivor out and last I believe is houndmaster where after dogs grab survivor cant escape immideatly as with others killer after being downed, others can do i only if they run specific addons that are basicaly mini bloof worden (knight,springtrap) but this is usualy used with full endgame builds so its totaly different situation than in regular game where killer is fucosed on getting survivors in endgame and last is survivor getting downed and not falling into escape line in exit area and killer picking him up but this is dame mistake from survivor as when killer has injured survivor infront of him with nothing hr can use opening 99 exit and escaping because he spuned the killer by fov tech, same mistake.

If she was picked up, she could have abandoned after being picked up 2 times/slugged for the 3rd time. Which is also a reasonable use of Abandon.
I did that yesterday, just to give an perspective of how much time Killers want to waste. Faced a Blight with Double Speed, Coulrophobia, Forced Hesitation, Infectious Fright and Distressing. Obviously his goal was to never hook a Survivor and his massive Terror Radius meant that healing was somewhat possible, but healing and getting away was not. The game went for minutes without any progress on Gens or Hooks and at some point I just abandoned, same with my SWF-Mate and the last two Survivors abandoned when they were both downed. We tried to play for a while, but were not allowed to, since even if the Killer grabbed someone, they just dropped that person. (Must be one of those M1-Killers I hear about, who are the only ones who slug. And with 0 Gens done, he had a lot of pressure…)
Compare that to: 2 minutes waiting that Survivors leave. Which is 100% the Killers decision that they want to wait 2 minutes instead of just forcing the Survivors out.
And yet people think that a few teabagging Survivors at the Exit Gate are the worst thing in this game.
1 -
This has been brought up many, many times. As long as a bot replaces them like with survivor. Otherwise I think it would be a terrible addition to the game.
4 -
Sounds like something a toxic endgame player would say
3 -
Would you say the same thing to Survivors who abandon when they get slugged? Just don't let it affect you?
3 -
Stop talking like a main. Both sides should have a decent abandon feature to balance the game. If the idea of a killer abandon feature bothers you so much then that says a lot about whst kind of player you are in the endgame. This about dealing with bad sports
3 -
I have several thousand hours in the game so can that silliness. The amount of time I have in the game is why I want a abandon feature. It's a few minutes of wasted time but it's a few minutes I have to deal with that adds up over time. This is simple game balance. While they won't say it the people who are opposed to this feature are the exit t-bag players who play to be toxic. There is literally no reason not to add this feature that isn't toxic
2 -
And abandoning during a mori is denying a killer their triumph. Don't double standard me. Survivors already have this so if they want balance killers deserve this
-1 -
I've asked about this before and I've never been satisfied with people's objections. If Survivors are still alive by the time the exit gates are opened, or if Killer has not sucessfully hooked a Survivor for x amount of time, I don't see what the issue is with a concession that tells the Survivors they've won and lets everyone get on with their lives. On some maps and Killers it can take forever to get to the exit gates from your previous position,, just to have Survivors waiting there for the full 2 minutes because for some reason they need the emotional validation of the Killer watching them teabag, click a flashlight or spam gestures, knowing that the Killer can't do anything to punish them for being inconsiderate. And this is after a trial where things have probably gone badly for the Killer already (there wouldn't be a bunch of Survivors hanging around at the exit gates otherwise): it's rubbing salt in the wound and I don't normally see it in trials where the Killer and Survivors were on an even footing. In my opinion it is identical to the mentality of slugging for the 4k– that winnning requires dominating or humiliating the opposition– and it's not healthy.

Push for killer bots being added then. A survivor abandoning/disconnecting doesn't interfere with the killer's ability to do any challenges or achievements in the game, meanwhile a killer doing so ends the match and as a result does exactly that. They clearly don't want any more Myers tombstone achievement situations where you basically need an opposing player's permission to do such things.
I am serious, I am convinced this is an important part of the reason why there won't be killer abandon options until they add killer bots.
3 -
Yes it is. Stop being one sided. I play both sides so I feel balance is important.
-4 -
To the person who downvoted me. If you aren't just trolling I am genuinely interested as to why you have an issue with a bot replacing the killer. The OP and others claim they want this feature so it's not a "double standard" well to make it equal a bot should replace the killer.

You missed my mark *please dont take it serious its a joke
It was all just irony.

It would be a good qol change that would address a killer pain point lol. Like if no ones on death hook and everyones inside the exit gat I don't think there's any reason why they shouldn't be able to leave. Beats waiting for the people wanking while they spam crouch to leave.

Sure buddy

I would like to see whst you do in tue endgame but I don't need to see to have a pretty good idea
-1 -
Yeah I should be able to abandon once the gates are powered, especially if i’ve had a rough game like I’d rather just surrender and go to the next match.
4 -
I’m fine with it. Slap a killer bot in my place. If you have endgame challenges to do as a survivor, have it out. I would like to save my time and move on.
it’s 2026 and 10 years into this game. It should be possible by now4 -
Take it or not, Im pretty sure adult human has good sence to spot irony or sarcasm or double meanings. Than there are those who cant get it or are suspecting everything to be against them, I think it should be clear if you would look at rest of my posts here but thats your thing not mine.

When slugged you can just go make a snack while you wait for the bleed out timer.
I don't think it's that deep fam.
See, I can say the same thing, but there is no reason to do so if the killer accepts defeat when the exit gates are open, they should be able to do so without waiting the full timer. The only exception should be if they have anyone on hook or slugged.1 -
Others have said it but I agree as well, If killers were replaced by bots then I would 100% be in favor. But only if bot could replace them.
2 -
You lose out on extra bloodpoints if you don't do the mori and just dc.
1 -
I don't think the programming allows them to easily count when X survivors are X meters from the gate. It would be implemented easier to trigger when the exit gates are powered since the perk code for Adrenaline already checks for that … which does change the conversation topic … but only by a bit.
Should Killers be able to DC for free if the exit gate is powered? I personally don't see why not. The game has effectively ended by that point even if the usual endgame scenarios gift you a free kill or two.
0 -
I think there are quite a few good reasons why killers should have abandon options, but the 'double standard' argument never makes sense. It's an asym, the game is all double standards because both sides have completely unique circumstances.
As for the no viable reason on the exit gates, there is a very good one:
If the survivors aren't trolling, they are going to leave, and the option changes nothing
If the survivors are trolling, they are going to stand right outside the exit gate, and the option changes nothing
It's asking for time to be put into something that wouldn't have a meaningful change
2 -
It would ruin most challenges where you need to escape if killer could just decide to end the match before they get out of the gate.
