Remove the timeout for disconnects

The timeout is stupid and punishes people that just want to get away from a match that shouldn't be happening in the first place. Killers that refuse to chase someone that is 10 feet from them because they want to hard focus on someone they hooked. Farming killers that make for boring matches. Killers that run "strategies" that have them camping a handful of generators for 40+ minutes refusing to leave them for any length of time because heaven forbid that someone MIGHT escape. These are just a few of the many examples of matches that are a complete waste of time.

If you don't want to remove the timeout because you want to punish the people that leave without due cause give us a button on the escape menu to vote to abort the match. When 1 person clicks the button everyone gets a notification that a vote to abort has been started. If the majority of players remaining in the match agree to abort then the match ends then and there. No escape points granted to survivors still alive and everyone gets the points they earned to that moment. Everyone gets a vote, survivors and the killer. Dead survivors can't vote though because they can stop spectating and go find another lobby whenever they please. That way we have a way to get out of a match that the majority of players in the match agree is a waste of time match.

    You get a penalty at a single DC whether it's your fault or not. I don't make a habit out of DCing but I don't see why I should have to sit out for 5 minutes because of 1 DC against a killer that is trying to grief me. A second DC and you wait for 15 minutes. It gets ridiculous when the community is full of people that want to grief you for one reason or another.

    I dont see the problem here, you have 3 options.

    1. Get your self downed/hooked match done in under 4 min.

    2. Dc and eat the penalty.

    3. Spend the 5-15 min playing the match and be done with it.

    In the case of your super long matches where you give the killer a 3 gen to defend you literally have no groumd to stand on as that is the fault of the team of survivors. If your running into that too often well, there's a perk for that.
