just in case you guys dont know already? heres what peanits said about players that dc :)
We do already punish people who disconnect from an excessive amount of matches, but with recent stability issues that's easier said than done. We know about the problem though and we do want to do more to stop it. I can't reveal anything for the short term, but once we have dedicated servers we're going to be able to better handle disconnects and potentially time out or ban people instantly if they're disconnecting too much rather than dealing bans in waves. Nothing is set in stone for that just yet, but we're looking into it. We'll announce more on that as soon as we can.
HYPE:)

While not truly English, Snoopy and Woodstock both spoke. Just because we cannot understand does not mean it is not a language.

except that the servers are at LEAST 1 patch away, but the roadmap for it looked more like 2.
So we will get to enjoy another 3-6 months of d/c meta.
Remember kids, the target number is 40%. Keep your d/c's below that and you're safe.

Can't wait to log in one day and see less Blendettes, Neas, Meg heads, and Fengs in my lobbies because they got banned. Why is it always those 4?

Why are you posting this instead of Peanits? Pretty sure the dude can talk for himself.

I don't see how people fail to understand that preventing people from disconnecting with punishments is not going to fix the problem. It's just going to ######### it to a different problem. If you stop people from disconnecting by force, they aren't going to magically become better teammates and play the games out like they should. They are going to suicide on hook immediately, annoy/troll/sandbag teammates, or they are going to do absolutely nothing to help their team. People look at games like LoL and similar games and see that they don't have a disconnect problem because they have punishments. What they have instead are people who get mad 10 minutes into the game and then "soft int" by only pushing their lane the entire game and dying any time someone breaths on them. Or they run it down mid lane and screw over their teammate. This happens far more often then you might think. Also, if someone gets annoyed enough to DC and doesn't want to wait to suicide and you give them a long queue time for leaving, it will lead to longer queue times for killers and likely survivors. Queue times for killers are already bad enough. Do you want to potentially add another 3 or 4 minuets to killer queue times? (The number could be higher or lower. No way of actually judging this) Punishments aren't going to give you a better gameplay experience. If they want to implement this then the devs have to come up with a way to punish people for suiciding/taking away that option entirely. They would also need to add a way to track if people are playing in toxic ways (such as purposely farming teammates or popping gens over and over that someone is working on) If they don't do any of these things adding a punishment for disconnecting isn't going to make much of a difference.

For me it's mostly bad news, knowing that we will have to wait several months for this.
I understand that dedicated servers will help, but at least they could remove the current "feature" that causes for pips to stay the same when you DC. Everybody is abusing that to avoid deranking.
This game is a it's best in terms of content and potential, and at it's worst in playability. The sheer amount of DC's I get every time I play is completely frustrating. I've just played 5 matchs and in every match there was 1 DC or 2 DCs. It's insane. And I'm DC'ing too now. I got tired of having to play 3 vs. 1 or 2 vs. 1 matches with 5 gens. It's ridiculous.
Never been so discouraged to play this game.

Bring on the empty lobby simulator!
95% of Survivors perma banned from dbd = 100% of Killers without matches =D
DC's say more about the terrible state of balance than anything.
