disconnect punishments

i know people are pushing for bans for disconnects but what about hook suicides?  many times i find myself succumbing to a sense of apathy with all the camping and tunneling.  it kills my desire to continue but i guess it isn't ny call as to stay or not?  is hook suicide as bad as a general dc episode and bannable?  serious question.

    The problem is that trying to kobe is an intents mechanic and you can't punish a player for failing a mini game event.
    However detecting and punishing dc's SHOULD be an easy thig and we shouldn't even have to talk about that

    Partly agree.

    Those people who disconnect as soon as they go down in a game? Yes they should be punished, they ruin thr game for others.

    Those who disconnect because someone else disconnected and now its 3 people expected to do 5 gens? No, they shouldn't be forced to stay in a crappy game where the odds are stacked against them. They shouldn't be punished because someone else rage quit. Same applies when only 3 people load in. Nobody wants to play those games. You shouldn't depip for backing out.

    Lag and being teleported is also another legit reason to D/C, but hopefully the dedicated servers fix that. Can't expect someone to stay in a game where they're getting teleported all over.

    you can't be banned for hook suicides. There's no way for them to tell if it's unsportsmanlike behavior

    It's not bannable, no. Trying to unhook yourself is fair game (even if it's not always the best choice). Even letting yourself die can be the right move if there's only one other survivor left and you think they know where the hatch is.

    I would suggest that if you're tired of campers though, don't "sacrifice yourself" on the hook. Take as much of their time as possible and give the other survivors a chance to do generators and punish them for camping. Dying as fast as possible just rewards them for doing it.

    They could implement a system that would allow you to exit the game legitimately afetr a DC, a lot of games have that too (overwatch for example). But that would probably too much work and I would gladly take punishment for every DC if we can get rid of these crybaby ragequitters.

    And it shouldnt be that hard to just walk up to the killer and suicide on the hook, as survivor you always have a way out
