DC Penalty
The DC penalty is ridiculous. People are going to DC or kill on hook (survivor) or stand in a corner (killer) with or without it. All it accomplishes is penalizing people that lost internet connection.
It really has to go.

Hard disagree
Playing back before DC penalties were introduced was a massive pain in the back.
I'll take a 5 minutes penalty when my internet connection goes out over a random guy DCing because they don't like the killer/map any day of the week
I agree. Granted there have been rare occurrences where I'll be disconnected from the host and in doing so I'll suffer a DC penalty, but like I said that's rare. Before the DC penalty players would quit for all kinds of reasons. Don't like the map? DC. Don't like the killer? DC. Forgot to equip that one outfit you really wanted to wear? DC.
The penalty may not stop people from disconnecting, but they most certainly deserve to be penalized. And the more they do it the longer the penalty will be which means fairer matches for better gamers.
If your internet dies rarely then you need to deal with a 5 minute ban rarely.
If your internet dies often enough to the point the disconnect ban becomes significantly longer then you should not be playing online games. You are ruining the game for four other people when you disconnect, doesn't matter why. Fix your connection. A stable internet connection is required. Just like you can't play with a 20 years old PC you can't play with garbage internet.
Nope. That Deathslinger who DCd because we happened to find his Hex Undying and Hex Ruin in the first two totems right as he knocked his first survivor down, deserves to be penalized for quitting right there. There's nothing that says he wouldn't get a couple kills at least. Play the game. Don't quit just because something didn't go your way.
