Rage Quitters - What Are The Penalties?

[Bigbawi]

I'm sure I'm not the only one who noticed this recently but as a killer I've seen an increasing number of rage quitters in the last month or so. And no, this doesn't necessarily happen after I hook them (as you could then say I am a camper bla bla bla), quite often it happens when I hit them twice and they are on the ground for the FIRST time!

This is frustrating as you don't get as many points as a killer when someone disconnects as opposed to hooking someone yourself and it just ruins the fun in general.

What are the current penalties for rage quitters at the moment once they are reported for Unsportsmanlike behaviour?

Allmighty mathieu recently highened the bar that will grant them soft ban(24/48/72) after a month.
He raised the bar from majority so over 50% to 40%.
So if you don't dc 40% of games you will not get banned.

Which honestly, I think it needs to be higher. Seems most people only rage quit when they are out matched in power. Should the taunting / T-bagging result in death *poof*. Why rage quit when you are winning or out playing the newer people? Maybe just my view on it though.

They actually changed it after he annonced it so people don't know the exact percentage it is to know when to not dc.
So it's very likely to currently be lower than 40%.
I hope he give us the new percentage so it get even lower X)

25 % ...

If someone is willing to ragequit, dc or pulling the plug 25 % of the time it's more than enough.

He does it in a quarter of his games, so if he played 100 games, there are 25 matches that he didn't finish - 25 Matches, where the other three survivors had to play with a handicap. The same by the way counts for the killer side, and I am not talking about dodging a lobby, but real DC or Ragequits.

Some of the "new kids on the block" have a tendency to DC after they see a specific Killer, and it's not always the new ones, but also some of the original killers.

25 % is already a lot of tolerance because of involuntary DC's because the Internet might have gotten a bad case of cough in one or two games, or real pressing RL issues that might have suddenly arisen.

Ragequitting is a stupid habit, born out of anger, entitlement and arrogance - the ragequitter puts his own fun above the fun of everyone else in the game, he's abusing the time and goodwill of the other players and thus contributes to the general toxicity in this game in a really big way. He's not minding the fact, that by leaving the game early he's actually ruining the fun for the other players.

Ragequitting has a great impact on the game, therefore it should be handled harsher than it is now.

Thank you all for your replies, very useful. I completely agree Wereboar, you made some logical points and I believe 25% would be a realistic and fair percentage. Hopefully this will be handled harsher like you said going forward.

I quit if a killer obviously have a wallhack addon- a ghost with 10m wallhack or shape with his scratched mirror. Its just a boring game to me. The higher I rank up the more I see this and if 1 day I will get perma-banned, I dont care, Ill just leave a bad review and move on. Also, if all team quickly dies its a boring game too. most likely killer has whispers, so I can do nearly nothing before I will die. I just accept the complete defeat. No need to waste time taking me to hook. :)

Worry not, you will not.
You play survivor: You won't get banned unless you do it in front of the popular streamer.

Scratched Mirror is within the game, implemented by the devs.

A bad review can removed by Steam if the reviever has a history, and a fitting attitude to it, Steam did this in the past - including the appropriate community ban and account removal if the person is kind of serial.

On the other hand, no one sees a big deal and harm in just moving on - like people did with Evolve and other online fails.

Ok, no big deal, a bad review is done. You can thank me later.

The penalties are a joke. Only the worst scum gets detected and soft banned, but those who ragequit 2-3 games out of 5 remain unharmed.

I'd say if the quits reach the 10% (at max) mark they should be banned.

[Boss]

Hah, penalties...

I agree - 10% is more than reasonable, I really hope they will use this percentage...

Well, well... I actually gave it a helpful - now we just have to wait and see.

One thing I have to add, giving someone an information isn't a threat - it's giving an information nothing more. It might happen, though probably it won't. Steam sometimes looks into the abuse of both community and reviewing (recommendation) system. For something to happen your recommendation was too tame, to get a note. I have seen Recommedations of other games, that were a lot more spiteful, that really got removed.

I also have a good deal of negative recommendations on my sleeve, but I make valid arguments in them - not doing them out of spite.

They rage quit even when I play Freddy ... against Freddy at a first encounter. A killer who is unable to camp effectively or to block or to do anything mean and they rage quit.

You seem to not know what a wall _hack_ is. You describe parts of the game like perks survivors can use to sense or see the killer through walls. If you not agree to the game and its rules, why are you playing it? If you want to play chess you cannot apply the rules of other games and argue with them, Dead by Daylight has abilities to see through walls, no hacks required.

[Bigbawi]

This is getting out of hand - rage quitters are being part of almost every game now. Harsher ban rules need to be put in place - you rage quit 5 times in a month you get banned for a week otherwise this will kill the fun for good!
