Hook Suicide
Before the penalty everyone would just d/c, now everyone just suicides on hook. This seriously needs to be addressed because I can't play a single game as survivor without some clown killing themselves on hook, even when the team is winning people still do this it makes no sense. Hook suicide is no different than a flat out d/c, you screw the killer and you screw your three teammates. This is made even more worse by the fact your team is doomed to lose after the first death on top of the long survivor que times only for it to happen in the very next match.
I realize this was a bit of a rant but this is a really toxic issue if you ask me, if people aren't prepared to lose they shouldn't que in the first place.

Don't go for unsafe unhooks and you'll see less hook suicides
The depip is the penalty there I guess, can't penalize dying in Dead by Daylight
Yeah hook suicide is pretty much a "legal" DC. It's been a problem for a long time and to my knowledge the devs have said nothing about it. Making struggle automatic would be my first step. People can't suicide and the mashing is (finally) gone. Making unhook attempts not drain the bar (but still limiting the amount of tries) could also be a change. You would also need an afk checker since then people will just leave the keyboard/controller and do something else if they couldn't suicide.
Its definitely a complex problem to tackle, but one that should be. Its understandable to feel frustrated about your teammates suiciding in your games. People should be ready to play if they que up, even if they don't like how the match is going.
Yestrday I missed spacebar at struggle stage while trying to screenshot 2 console players selfcaring next to each other. It looked like rage suicide on second hook but actually I'm really bad with multitasking.
