Disconnect Solution
Everyone is calling to punish the DCs. Ban them all!
Eh. Not so much. This proves to hurt the player base in the long run if things like this get out of hand. There's 101 reasons a player can have to DC, legitimately. Killers are only hurt in a few ways. Stack of BBQ. Just in general points/exp to rank. Survivors are hurt the most. The game comes to a crawl if the DC is early. Then another... and finally its just you with 2 gens to do because the other folks were hook rushing trying to save their SWF friend.
Disconnects should reward the remaining survivors. If the game starts with survivors absent, the survivors should also get a quitter bonus. This reward should be at least 5,000bp per disconnect. The same goes for the killer. This bonus is affected by Streamers/BBQ/Etc. Everyone else playing should not be penalized because you threw the game OR you have potato internet/pc.
This can easily carry over when dedicated servers are introduced.
