DC Penalty Rework/Removal?

The DC penalty shouldn't exist at all unless it happens excessively (5 or more times in a row maybe). Apart from connection issues, we shouldn't be punished for not wanting to play a match we don't want to. I've had matches where killers left me or others on the ground for an entire bleed out just to be toxic. I shouldn't receive a penalty for leaving a match like that.

I've already done that. I play DBD a LOT less than I used to. I used to play it everyday for hours on end. Now I find myself playing maybe once a week and not for very long at that. People that leave matches because it is not an enjoyable and fun experience due to toxic players should not be penalized for that. If people abuse it then guess what? They'll find themselves not playing the game that much and honestly how long will someone leave a match over and over again before they realize its not working out for them? You depip and gain no points when you leave a match. Eventually you'll find yourself hours into the game with no progress and deranked all the way. I want to have fun and not have to deal with toxic players when I play any game. If I experience that, I leave the match. If I get penalized for doing that, then I'll play the game less often. That is how I personally feel about the matter. If you don't agree with that then thats fine. I still have an opinion on the matter.

I've left I think less than 10 matches this year so far. You're talking as if I constantly leave every match that isn't the best match ever for me. Most of the time I play it out but if I am in a match that is literally causing me to hate the game and not want to play it, I will leave. I consider myself a good team mate because I actually do try to help my team survive the best I can. I go out of my way to unhook survivors. I take protection hits like crazy. I throw myself in front of killers to prevent a tunnel or hook all the time. I literally go for saves that I know will result in me dyeing so someone on my team whom I've never met before can escape. I collect dropped items from franklins and return them to the player that lost it. Now if only everyone else played like this more matches might go better. There is also of course the main problem with this which is toxic killers. Don't think I leave every match I'm not having a perfect run on. Like I said, I play out most of them.

How does that inconvenience me? That's a thumbs up from me. I never liked having to spam press a button over and over in the struggle phase. Its one of the things I always wanted them to change about the game. Thanks for letting me know they're doing that! I like the game a little more now. :)

I still don't get it. If you're assuming I give up on the hook to avoid the DC penalty then all I can tell you is you're wrong (again) and I can't remember the last time I actually did that. As I stated above, I have left probably less than 10 matches this entire year so far and the ones I did I literally left the match. I didn't wait to be hooked so I can leave with some points and no DC penalty. Shows how much you know about me. Also from the looks of it even with the struggle change it looks like if someone wants to give up on the 1st or 2nd hook all they literally have to do is put themselves into 2nd and just sit there a few seconds. Sooo yea, this is no favor to me. As I stated above in a previous reply I actually love this change and its something I wanted to happen since the first day I started playing DBD. I personally would be fine with removing the skill check altogether and just making it a passive thing. We'll see how they go about it as feedback comes in.

Because its going to be so hard to tab out or go afk if you want to give up on hook. Its probably going to cause unhook problems with people going for unhooks for someone that may be afk because they did want to give up. I can see an option being added to give survivors the ability to give up on hook if they choose. We'll see what happens. Either way, my point this whole time (which it seems you've blatantly ignored and don't care to see the reasoning behind it) is that for those who don't leave matches often should not get a DC penalty for when they do. It'll be a time thing where if you go ever so long without doing it then you won't get the penalty. However if you leave multiple times a day then you get the DC penalty. That seems fair to me. You're also probably going to see many more disconnects if there isn't an option to give up on hook with the change. Often times people giving up on hook do it for the same reason people leave matches at times which is the match being considered not worth playing due to toxic things going on. The point is, if you abuse it you should get a penalty. If you don't, you shouldn't. Simple and fair.
