Request to remove DC penalty during final death / Mori animations
Can we make it so that if a Survivor is on their final sacrifice phase or being Mori'd, they can disconnect without getting banned?
I left a match during a Mori animation because I knew I was dead and didn't want to waste time watching it. But the system still banned me. The game was already practically over for me. It would be a great quality-of-life change if the system recognized this so players can move on to the next match faster. Thanks!

or you just wait the 10 - 20 extra seconds… its not that deep

100% agree. The game has too many scenarios where there's nothing (or, nothing FUN) for survivors to do. (e.g. one or more dead with 3+ gens left)
I don't think you "get" Quality of Life. Or posting on the internet. Or arguments in general…

Yeah the so called "final fu" to the killer player. I already see this as a problem with the current abandoning system. I am still in that camp that it needs about 5-10 second grace period before abandoning option comes available.

I was about to say the same. Surrendering because the killer is slugging you and another survivor? Okay, it may make sense. But surrendering at the very moment you get downed and the killer is going to hook/mori you? I dont really understand that logic.
Honestly surrendering as the last survivor should come after 15-20 seconds of being downed in case the killer is just leaving you in the ground.

The only reason why you want to have it is to rub in the victory. I dont really understand it - the Killer is the one who wants to see the Mori and the Killer gets to see the Mori, regardless if they mori a Bot or the actual player.
@Topic:
I would not mind it. Having seen the sacrifice animation a gajillion times, I can understand why people want to skip it. That being said, since Abandoning affects the MMR, I dont think it should be available basically every time you are about to die.
And personally I also dont think it is a high priority issue.

Sorry but I can make the same argument in the other direction as I already did. You want to have it because you want to do what I said or have the privilige to leave the match free. My suggestion does not change anything else than let the killer mori the character if they don't they can then abandon. Them being able to do that on the first second they go down is silly and in reality annoying to part of the playerbase.
I don't care to rub anybody anyway I just want do the mori without hearing the abandoning sound everytime unless the survivor is nice and does not abandon. I have no reason to do anything else but why its ok that killer can't have their mori in peace but its ok that survivor can leave on the first second they get down as the last survivor?
Still if you would know anything about me on this forum you would know I am not pro-killer I am person who looks both sides of the coin and in my opinion in this its not fair to the killer players at all.

I mean, I even wrote that I dont think it is needed to abandon in the sacrifice animation. And I also dont abandon in the Mori animation to give the Killer a middlefinger, I only do it because I think that Moris are pretty cringe (especially the new ones). I dont mind being sacrificed as the last Survivor, but I just dont like Moris.
But your suggestion really changes nothing for the Killer player. I can only repeat, they want to see the Mori, and they get to see the Mori. No reason to force the Survivor to see it.

You seem to miss the point that its the way to free limitation of the abandoning that is the problem not the seeing the mori.

Thanks everyone for the comment! I really appreciate and understand all of your points.
Just to clarify, my main point is strictly about the time after the outcome is already 100% determined. For example, during the final Entity sacrifice animation (when the claws take you up into the sky) or during a Mori animation. Right now, even though you are already mechanically "dead," disconnecting a few seconds early to avoid waiting for the lobby screen triggers a matchmaking ban.
I don't want to take away the Killer's Mori experience or ruin anyone's fun. If someone disconnects at that exact moment, the game already replaces them with a Bot, so the Killer still gets to enjoy their Mori animation anyway.
All I’m asking for is a Quality-of-Life change: once a Survivor enters an unescapable death animation (final hook stage or Mori), the player should be allowed to leave the match to queue for the next game immediately, without being penalized. It’s just about saving those extra seconds and keeping the game flowing.
I hope everyone enjoys the game Pls don't be mad at each other, I didn't mean to cause any arguments. :(

I find it interesting seeing people wanting to "skip" the mori animation because they do not want to be "forced" to see it, but when other people asks that the killer should be able to abandon in end game collapse when the 4 survivors are on the exit gate and the killer should not be forced to watch them t-bag and leave, the most common answer is "lol no, just go and force them out".
So the survivors should be able to skip the mori but the killer should not be able to skip that part of egc and should watch them leave.
…….Interesting.

Remove the DC penalty, period. It's punitive and unnecessary. Always has been.

It's like a ten second animation, lmao

No, because the Killer needs an audience. If they ever became aware that they're only killing bots, there would be an uproar. And as we've seen the past couple of years, they will be catered to if that happens.

if you don't wanna watch mori just take your headset off and check ya phone or something.

always have a SupaAlf video in the background for me

I mean… you sound like the uproar would be a "bad" thing but, it is actually bad? In fact in games like Marvel Rivals there is a big uproar in the community because sometimes after you lose some matches you get paired against bots and the game tries to hide it. The devs hasnt even achknowledged it.
If i want to play against bots in DbD i would go into a custom match.

Just make an option for survivor to blackout / disable sound during mori animations.
The blackout screen could have a nice elevator music and helpful tips.-1 -
But again, what does it matter to you if someone abandons? The game is over. If you are the Killer, there is 0 difference if there is a Survivor or a Bot lying on the ground.
It is more the lack of control. The Killer has always full control in your example. They can decide to push Survivors out or not, it is up to them.
A Survivor on the ground has no control at all what they can do.
0 -
Control doesn't matter. On both situations (survs already on exit gate and mori animation on last surv) the game is finished already and doesn't matter if anyone has control or not: the outcome is not going to change.
So either make the change for both or dont. But doing it only for survivors but not for killers would show, again, bias.
-1 -
Obviously it does matter, otherwise there would not be the distinction, lol.
0 -
The results on both cases are not going to change, no matter if one side has control or doesnt.
The same way as when all the survivors escape and they are shown in the "escaping" animation and the killer is the only one in the trial, there are still some seconds where the killer can still navigate before the game ends. Do you think just because the killer still has "control" on that situation it cannot be shortened or something?
I think i can answer with the same thing you did tell to the other guy:
"But again, what does it matter to you if killer abandons? The game is over. If you are the survivor, there is 0 difference if the killer just abandons when you are on exit gate already."

It isn't good or bad—it's ego-driven. When BHVR caters to that mentality, they reinforce those egos. It doesn't matter how unfun or how much time is wasted, as long as they help these players feel validated.
