Why the DC? I'll tell you.
People constantly DC because the killers are stupidly OP. You might disagree with me but how many aura reading perks do killers have? How many perks or powers allow for one hit downs? What about killing by their own hands? Two important factors as a survivor in this game are time and stealth. When the killer can see where a survivor is when they're healing, or which way they go after completing a gen, or where they are loacted after unhooking someone.. get it? Better yet, let's just use the Doctor for example. He won't even hit you with his shock treatment yet at the beginning of the match you'll randomly scream out alerting him of your presence. The killer did nothing to earn this, it is just given to him. Or the Legion able to see auras while using his frenzy. There is no stealth. Then you have the time factor. It takes survivors an insane amount of time to do gens. If you survive with friends you can work as a team to loop the killer and gen rush but you're still at a major disadvantage, especially if you're team is just OK. Let's look at the Pig. If she downs a survivor and puts a mask on him/her they must go to a station, pass four or five fast skill checks and hope that releases the mask, if not on to the next and several games have I seen or have I had to go to every station to try to take it off...all the while trying to avoid being seen and downed. So much time wasted and you really can't focus too much on unhooking or doing gens (some normally do though) without putting yourself at extreme risk. Another example of time is Freddy, if you're in the dream world you suffer 50% progression penalty. Doing any sort of progress on a gen is pretty much out of the question. You must either be downed and hooked, woken up by a mate, or blow a skill check and alert him of your location to wake up. What about Ruin or Thanataphobia? Time wasted. And the game just being broken like when the killer hits you after vaulting through a window and running three feet before they swing, and you still take a hit? Or the developers breaking the game by nerfing survivor perks? I don't even use decisive strike but that's ridiculous. Lastly, if you don't survive with friends you more than likely will have one or two people every match gen bait you. For those who don't know what that is it's when you're doing a gen and the person being chased runs by you on purpose to put the killer's attention on you. This game is fun and can stay fun but things continue to move in favor of the killers and away from survivors. Heck, you even earn more blood points as a killer. Don't get me wrong...I'm not saying the killers should be at a disadvantage. I'm just explaining why the DCs. The game just needs balancing and listening to the killer mains complain about this and that when they got it easy are a big contributor to the DCs. Are you seeing more and more DCs every day? Are you yourself DCing more? Speak up.

So you're telling me that my Wraith is too OP when I completely outplay a Survivor by moonwalking, predicting where they are running, and running tiles correctly?
The majority of the time it's salty, entitled, crybabies who can't handle getting downed.

I usually see a dc when their god play spectacularly fails. Dc always comes before a teammate even gets the hook. Killer all have their shortcomings and most are easy enough to play around or even exploit when you have the skill. If your ignoring gens because of perk effects then your the one wasting time and giving the killer what they need to control the match. Aside from a top notch nurse I have trouble seeing any killer that truly dominates without survivor mistakes to capitalize on.

Did you rly say Freddy is OP?
I hope this is a troll post.
PS: Pls Freddy players dont hate me :3

I mean if the killers are so op, why havent people been disconnected so much before? As the new killer hasnt brought much to the table when it comes to perks, than shouldn't people be DCing before?
I mean it seems clear that maybe people are overreacting to going against "op" killers so they just DC, hence survivors DCing over Legion.
I'm still kinda new to the game, and this is just what I have gathered.

I'm rank 20 with only about 15 hours of gameplay behind me. I muddle about, don't know the maps yet, don't have any super perks unlocked and I still get survivors DCing on their first hook. I'm not unhappy, that gives me some blood points than I would normally not get but if they're scared of my meagre skills what are they doing?
0 -
Ok 15 hours and your rank 20???
But besdies thag, those are just beginners, once you get to about 7-15 people usually stay in the game below that you will probably get the same issues.

Having to read this without paragraphs hurts me mentally.

I stopped reading as soon as I saw Killers are OP in the first sentence. Thank goodness they stated it so early. Saved my eyes from running into that obscene wall of text.
Apparently, the concept of when a paragraph break should happen is as foreign to them as how to play against killers.

This post has to be a troll. Killers are so OP that no one wants to play them on PS4?

For everyone who plays as killer and cant get 4k in every match killer needs buff ... I would like to remind you that in films etc killer usually dont kill everyone ...
1 -
And i would like to remind to all killers that killer cant do anything without survivors, he will not get any amount of points. Survivors at least can repair gens, destroy totems etc and without killer they can do something, so remember that killers isnt as important in this game as survivor

12 hours of survivor, 5 or 6 games as Killer, because of the MM and probably my location (Oz) I'm getting matched with survivors up to rank 10, they still DC, the ones that stay in mostly steamroll me, I'm OK with that I'm still learning, could do without the toxicity but that's different topic.
My point is; Survivors, stay in game, the Killer might be crap.

* Chuckles* you my friend have never faced something truly OP, this game is nothing compared to some broken stuff in many other games. Perhaps try GiTtiNg gUd then maybe you could stand a chance against these "OP" killers. GL HV

@Kilmeran * shudders* I still have nightmares of that, pls don't remind me, i can still hear her voice...mocking me. I still remember trying to 1v1 her, and then her voice lines, her mocking voice lines...
"You're not scared...are you?" "Mace to the face!" "Was that supposed to scare me?"

I know right? When will they remove killers and make this a gen sim? Or better yet make it so the killers can't move and survivors can point at, blind and buttdance them. I mean, c'mon devs!
1 -
Okies...first off, you got to realize that it's four people against one killer. A killer needs those perks because they need that very slight edge. The aura reading abilities have limitations and theres way to counter them...i.e. bbq and chillie...someone getting hooked get into a locker. I suggest taking the time to learn about the perks themselves and how to counter them. I understand your frustration, I've been there when I started this game too. (Sorry this isn't paragraph formed doing this on my phone between matches lol)

I only DC simply because i am mad at my own mistakes and i want to get better, it has nothing to do with the killer, granted some would disagree with me, but the only thing i care about in this game is getting chased and how long can i last, which is something that i find to be the only fun thing in this game.
And when i mess up simply because of my own mistakes it's like i am stabbing myself in the gut with a knife.

because.. mental gymnastics to explain ones delusion is more fun than the real issues with DC's.

Hey, this is killer forums... don't be surprised when the responses are generally nonsensical and illogically killer biased

Alright lets dissect this mess of a post.
" how many aura reading perks do killers have?" Ok, what about the survivors ability to get in a locker and completely cancel those perks out? Did you forget that you have that ability?
"How many perks or powers allow for one hit downs?" You mean the 2 perks, 2 killers, and the ultra rare add ons that show up once in a full moon in the blood web?
" What about killing by their own hands?" You mean the one time use offerings that killers have to give up that they might not even be able to use if the match doesn't go in their favor?
"use the Doctor for example. He won't even hit you with his shock treatment yet at the beginning of the match you'll randomly scream out alerting him of your presence. The killer did nothing to earn this, it is just given to him." First of all, the doctors ability is all about the insanity, the killer causes you to scream and stops you from using certain things, the killers ability blocks you from using a few counters yes, but it also has its faults. The doctor slows down from 115% movement speed to 110% when using his power, so already he is not gonna be able to catch up to you as fast. Secondly, he can't even hit you when using his ability, he has to give you time to run away before he can try to attack you. The doctor isn't good at higher ranks, he is only good for starting killers for the ability find people quickly, he definitely isn't as powerful as nurse or billy.
"Let's look at the Pig. If she downs a survivor and puts a mask on him/her they must go to a station, pass four or five fast skill checks and hope that releases the mask, if not on to the next and several games have I seen or have I had to go to every station to try to take it off...all the while trying to avoid being seen and downed. So much time wasted and you really can't focus too much on unhooking or doing gens (some normally do though) without putting yourself at extreme risk." Her ability is supposed to be a time waster, that is its use, plus she only has 4 uses of her bear trap so once someone gets it off the ability is no longer in control, they can go right back to what they are doing, the fact that you don't see her ability as just a time waster is quite stupid.
"Another example of time is Freddy, if you're in the dream world you suffer 50% progression penalty. Doing any sort of progress on a gen is pretty much out of the question. You must either be downed and hooked, woken up by a mate, or blow a skill check and alert him of your location to wake up." Are you seriously complaining about the worst killer in the game? You must be in the lower ranks if you think he's op. He can't hit you without pulling you into the dream world which takes 7 seconds without add ons, he is slowed for 3 of those seconds, and you can see flashes of him as you are pulled into the dream world, while this is him without any add ons, add ons can only do so much. He is so weak they are trying to re work him.
"What about Ruin or Thanataphobia?" Ruin is necessary with almost every killer since all gens can be done in 2:30 without any perk buffs and tool boxes, as for thanataphobia, the perk rarely sees use any more.
"And the game just being broken like when the killer hits you after vaulting through a window and running three feet before they swing, and you still take a hit?" That isn't the killers fault for broken hitboxes, that is entirely the devs mistake that they have been trying to fix, and with the addition of dedicated servers soon it should fix it slightly because lag does have an impact.
" Or the developers breaking the game by nerfing survivor perks? I don't even use decisive strike but that's ridiculous." You mean the ONE PERK that got changed? Go talk to all of the killer perks, the list includes:" shadowborn (twice), spies from the shadows (spies from the shadows did not work at all for a long period of time)*, bloodhound, No one escapes death (twice), Play with your food, Save the best for last, unrelenting, thrill of the hunt, iron grasp (twice), brutal strength, deerstalker, a nurse's calling, franklin's demise, sloppy butcher, thanataphobia (removed dead survivors affecting the living)*, knock out (made open handed affect it), whispers (increased the volume of the whispers to make it harder to hear survivors)*, and tinkerer." Survivor perks barely get changed compared to the killer perks.
"Lastly, if you don't survive with friends you more than likely will have one or two people every match gen bait you. For those who don't know what that is it's when you're doing a gen and the person being chased runs by you on purpose to put the killer's attention on you." That rarely happens, and if it does happen it is most likely by mistake, as they are not able to communicate with you they can't know what gen you are on so they aren't able to evade where you are until it is already too late.
" This game is fun and can stay fun but things continue to move in favor of the killers and away from survivors." So you are saying that it is losing its fun because changes are being made in favor of the killers side? Survivor mains have always said that, and it has been said to the point the years of 2016 and 2017 were completely in favor of survivors, the player numbers dropped to the lowest they ever were because no one wanted to play killer. This is perfectly shown in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnwdPlx9yR4
This wasn't a post explaining why there are DC's, this is just a hate post trying to get changes in favor of survivors. Anyone can explain why there are DC's, the answer is: People get salty and rage quit.

To answer your questions:
Killers have:
6 survivor aura reading perks: BBQ, Nurses calling, Bitter murmur, Blood warden, Deerstalker and Territorial Imperative
6 Expose perks: NOED, Rancor, Make Your Choice, Devour of Hope, Iron maiden and Haunted Grounds
2 Killing perks: Rancor, Devour of Hope
1 Killing power: Tombstone Myers
3 Killing offerings: Mori X3
As for time, Survivors have the timing advantage and are fairly easily able to escape the game far faster than the Killer can kill besides Nurse.
Killers can hit through windows because they aren't trex's and can reach over a gap like that. Nothing unfair about that, when it's 3 feet however that's just lag and will be fixed with dedicated servers. .
Breaking survivor perks? Make an exhaustive list of all Survivor perk nerfs in the past 5 major patches and all Killer perk nerfs in the same time frame and compare the list. Post it here, BTW I have not actually checked those patches before hand so this isn't ad hock

fellow wraith main i couldn't agree more with you.

Except, you stab your teammates in the gut as well, lose all points and any chance that something may go well.
Even if you make mistakes, how can you truly learn if your first response is to leave? That's not learning from mistakes. That's recognizing and running from them.

What's with all these bait posts?

I needed that laugh. Thanks OP. As to your "points" survivors have plenty of tools to help themselves. There are only a few truly op killers. The rest of the time you got wrecked by a better player or your teams incompetence.
0 -
I agree with this.
0 -
To be completely honest, I agree with a lot of your points like aura reading abilities and ruin and thanataphobia being kinda silly perks. I wish they would rework these or at most nerfs these but mate, DCing is really not an excuse because youre also screwing over your teammates and basically encouraging the killer to keep using these cuz theyre basically free wins for them.
