Remove Matchmaking Penalty For Killers.

This needs to be a thing. The amount of hackers in this game is running rampant. I have a long matchmaking penalty for being forced to DC from hackers holding me hostage IN 3 STRAIGHT GAMES. This is absolute garbage. Survivor penalties make sense because you're sabotaging your team. For killer, the only one getting harmed is you. If you DC survivors get to move on to another game. This needs to happen. If the hacker problem cant be solved, killers need to be allowed to disconnect, because all of these hackers jut hold games hostage and force you to DC.

  • No DC penalty means games won't be finished so I'm this case no game where the survivors are winning would be played to its end and only games where the killer dominates will.

    The second something goes sideways the killer would dc cause why not?

    • First chase was to long
    • Mind game didn't work
    • Power missed
    • Pallet stun
    • Any form of save be it torch or palette
    • Lost a mind game
    • Doesn't like the map
    • Doesn't like a perk that got used
    • Doesn't like hex spawn

    All this would just make killers dc

    Except when a killer DCs, survivors can instantly queue into another game. Sure, players are petty and will DC over the smallest thing, but you failed to address the main point: the hacking. Have you ever been held hostage by hackers? I literally had a game where I said "screw it" and went AFK for 20 minutes, and the game was still going, and I was still trapped in the game. I have faced so many hackers lately, and my penalty is up to an hour, and there's nothing I did wrong. This is the issue. The game used to exist without matchmaking penalties, and it was fine. The issue is survivors are a team, so when one DCs, they all suffer. That's not the case for killers.

  • Crazy how many people don't care about the rampant hacking issue this game has. People care more about camping and tunneling than literal hackers. Make it make sense

    Hacking is a problem that should be dealt with via the anti cheat.

    Regardless that you don't have team mates that suffer when you DC as a killer, without a dc penalty my point stands. Killers would just DC when the game does not work out for them

    Antik cheat clearly doesn't work and hackers always find new ways to get around it and make new accounts. Survivors can move on to another game with a 10 second queue time.

    Everyone that plays survivor sees making a killer DC as a badge of honor. It's always funny and satisfying when it happens. the only one negatively impacted would be the killer. Again, stop ignoring my point. I was held hostage in 3 straight cames and forced to DC each time.

    Your point does not change the facts.

    survivors wouldonly rarely if ever be winning a game again if killers could dc without penalty. That is what would happen, why would a killer stay in a game he won't win when he can just w for the next?

    for bp and the attempt at coming back. Are you new to this game? I've been playing since 2017. There was a LONG period of time with no dc penalties for killer or survivor and it was fine lmao. Again, it's a 10 second queue for survivors and again you're not addressing the point. My point is the facts. Killers are forced to take on matchmaking penalties by hackers that want to hold games hostage and force you to DC. Anti cheat will never be enough to stop this.

    No thank you, no penality simply doesn't work - we already saw that in the past. People would just abuse the dc because survivors wouldn't let them catch them, we really don't need more dc's in this game. Also ending the game doesn't ruin the game any less for the 4 players left, sure they aren't stuck with a bot, but they also could never finish the round properly.

    Besides that the dc penality is a general mechanic of the game that's the same for both sides, if you take away the penality for killers you also have to do it for survivors, especially in the context of cheating killers. The issues would be the same and even worse because they already dc like crying babies with a 50/50 chance after the first down (I'm saying that because I've seen much less killers dc than survivors, might be luck, might be my wildly lower playtime on survivor).

    Oh and PS: what is this for an increadible inefficient way to fix a problem that doesn't even origin from the penality. Why would you ask for taking away a function keeping this game from total chaos if you could also ask them for fixing their anti cheat? That's so wrong on itself.
