How to fix DbD’s DC problem

[HAWAIIANpikachu]

If you leave the game or DC in anyway you are forced to play killer, however you
-cannot pick nurse, hillbilly, spirit, huntress, Myers or hag
-cannot bring perks
-cannot bring addons
-cannot bring offerings

See, that would be the golden opportunity to introduce "The Crapper" into the game!

Perfect

a DC timeout is such an easy thing, it doesnt have to be complicated.

Games have been dealing with ragequits for over 20 years this is justt what happens when you look the other way as a problem gets worse and worse.

Choice&Consequence

Without consequence nothing is going to change.

Nor does doing nothing, at least it’s a minor punishment

Seems like a really odd way to deal with DC'ing, the simplest way would be to simply place a cooldown on said disconnecting players. Perhaps a thirty minute ban that doubles each time up to a maximum of twelve hours or so.

Forcing someone to play a non meta killer is going to result in these killers AFK'ing matches.

Then we just add min counters to force them to at least do something, say 1 kill.

Hell they could even camp.

But why do what the norm does and add “time counters” when you could force playtimes

But by doing that your now promoting camping. Anyone could get one survivor on a hook and face camp them. A timer would also be easier to put into instead of the devs creating a killer monitor type system?

The norm works.

Camping has counters

...So what's preventing the killer from:

Hiding in a corner as Wraith.
DCing as killer.
Pulling the actual plug as killer.

Or what, is the punishment for DCing as killer having to play survivor? That's not a punishment.

Wont work at all. I have went Trapper, no perks, no addons, no offerings.. and NOT using traps.. Still got people who DCed on me.. The problem is these survivors are heavily entitled. If they get downed they can not stand it. ( Or found in a locker, grabbed from a gen.. ect ect. )

The only way to fix this problem is to start slapping these people who are entitled. Have a ban system that slowly ranks up that eventually perma bans people if they seriously can not get the hint. The system will slowly lower back its punishments the longer the survivor does not do the DC thing.

( Heck I have also had people DC on me when doing Iron Freddy. )

If you dc as killer you still play as killer just without 6 killers, and to counter hiding we can throw something such as “hook x people”

If you pull the plug, isn’t that also counted as a dc?
