• I feel the direction this game has been going is pretty positive overall(I've been a pretty constant player for 3 years now). I'm very curtain that killers have DC penalties as well. But, lets be honest. I feel this hurts the survivors more than the killers. Of course this isn't about the good killers, but the ones that take advantage of the system. Let me explain.

  1) Killers that body block: This is a big deal that I feel still needs to be addressed and has been in this game since the dawn of time itself. With the idea of being DC'ed, why do any survivors want to be in a game that a killer just can't run out and find other survivors to hang them? These killers just stand there to get "a free kill". It hurts the survivors in many ways.

  --1) It potentially stops the other 3 survivors from working on generators to help this one to get away.

  --2) Another survivor goes down trying to save the hooked one.

  --3) It makes the game harder for the rest of the survivors to actually(possibly) win.

  --4) Thus we now have DC's. But, get penalized for leaving what is to be said a sad and horrible game.

  
  

  This gives killers the freedom to screw over survivors so they can have a good laugh. But, it doesn't end there. Let us continue.

  
  

  2) Killers downed you and watch you: Killers that stand and watch your body lying on the floor. There isn't much to be said here. I'm sure you know where I'm going at this point. But, for those that don't, lets dig in as there are tons of problems here. A lot related to DC issues.

  --1) There's absolutely nothing a survivor can do for a downed friend if a killer stands over them and isn't hanging them. If you have the one perk that allows you to get up, sure. You are sorta free to go. You might freak the killer out getting up. But, are you really? More than not the killer will just down you right away again. Yeah, this is more body blocking. But, I'm separating these issues for reasons. As it becomes more dire.

  --2) All survivors are downed. Yes, I've seen this situation. At this point we are all at the killers mercy to be hung if we can't all crawl away. However, here's yet another instance where a killer can pick up all bodies and pile them up and stare at them. Slowly going to hang each one. Why? Because they feel it's fun and tortuous as a killer. In reality us survivors just want the game to end. At this point more DC's commence. As in reality the game really is...over.

  --3) The last survivor is down. Yes, this has happened to me as well. I was the last survivor. The killer decided to watch me crawl towards the exit door. In the hopes(like some killers are in the game) that he'll just let me leave. When in fact he then proceeds to pick me up and put me farther away again and drops me to the floor. The killer at this point has won in making sure that you DC out of the game. You effectively cannot exit the game unless the killer kills you, hooks you, or let's you leave. The game is over, YOU LOSE SIR! Yes indeed...I now lose the game and lose again when I'm out. Thanks for playing!

  --4) The map has issues. Yes, on the Silent Hill map I had already been hooked and had 2 scratch marks. I was running from the killer. I went up the stairs and around the corner to find that I messed up in the heat of the action. I messed up indeed, as it was a dead end. Mounds of garbage next to me. A pumpkin in front of me to smash. A killer behind me about to down me and hopefully take me to a hook for my untimely death. Except this isn't what happened. Instead, he stood behind my body and all I could do was stand in the corner. As I watched my phone and a minute passed by, all I could do was DC. The killer wins again by getting you a DC ban.

  
  

  So, to not get a DC in this latest situation one must leave their gaming machine of choice on forever until this killer hooks you or kills you. Otherwise he DC's out of the game as well. This DC ban the developers have implemented only benefits the killers in a lot of situations(and as being bullies). The only way for survivors to fight this ban now is to AFK themselves or run to the killer and/or have the killer led to other survivors so the team can die. Sounds fair to honest players doesn't it? There are plenty of things these developers can do to stop killers from any of these situations. Give survivors in-round perks from killers body blocking too close to the hook. Give survivors a in-round perk that allows them to knock the killer over if the game senses that they're body blocked in a corner. Give the survivors a in-round perk when the game senses that the killer is just standing above there crawling bodies so they can get up and continuously run away. These developers seemingly only help the killers. I'm obviously passionate about this game. But, I refuse to give them anymore money for anything until these issues can be fixed. It's completely an unbalanced mess right now. So, the only thing to do is to stop funding them and see if survivors start leaving the game. Maybe then they will get the message. Lord knows they must not be seeing my reports about body blocking as I report in the game ever time I play.
