About pre-match DCs and what we know what can be done because it's already in the game.

  1. We know the game recognises WHO disconnects, even if it's not obvious from the scoreboard: If you play survivor, look how many people are running with you. If a survivor disconnected during the loading screen, they are absent from the field, even if it's not showing the DC icon on the board. This means the game knows who left.
  2. From custom matches we know the game can recognise how many people are there. So letting people into the game if a survivor dced on loading screenand adjusting the gens down should be possible.
  3. likewise, though this isn't in the game as such yet, it should be possible for the game to recognise if the killer left and plug a player with the same killer and/or same skill level (on account that mechanics working) from their Q into the match while the survivors are given the chance to do something NOT gens or totems that might earn them (and the new killer) some bonus BP

    #2 was in the game, but survivors were at a disadvantage.

    I once spawned in by myself against a doctor and I had 2 gennys to complete. After 3 dcs. No thanks.

    Regarding Number 2:

    This was in the game before matches got cancelled. And a 3v1 was basically always a loss on the Survivor Side, it was not really a game. Because if you have 1 person hooked, 1 person in a chase and 1 person going for the Unhook, you have 0 Gen Progression. If you can keep that up, there is no chance for the Survivors to win against a semi-decent Killer.

    Sure, the Killer might just farm at this point (or in 2v1s or even 1v1s), but I would rather have a cancelled match than a farming match. Especially, because we dont know if something like the infinite loading screen will ever come back, which would make 3v1 games quite frequent.

    Regarding Number 3:

    Sounds good on Paper, but the Killer would be thrown in without any preparation. I am not a big fan of lobby-dodging (IMO it should have a small time penalty), but throwing in a Hag against 4 Flashlights (for example) or stuff like that without the chance to adjust their Build does not sound fair.

    (Unless I misunderstand you on that one, but I interpret it as you want to pull a Killer who is waiting for a game to the 4 Survivors with the DCed Killer mid-loading so that the game can start normally)
