    How is it ruining the game just do gens and leave. Killers don't have a easy way out if they get a match they really don't want to play due to map rotation or being sent to a map that's survivor friendly.

    If the Killer wants to leave they will take a DC penalty while Survivors can just suicide on hook to leave the match without penalty.

    1. No one would play Dead by Daylight if it was "just do generators" and there was no killer. Turning it from a game people play/enjoy into a game no one would willingly play is effectively the definition of ruining it.
    2. I don't think anyone SHOULD have an "easy way out" if everything doesn't go their way. That's just part of the game. No other online multiplayer game I've played treats this as acceptable behaviour and with good reason.

    I guess my real question is, if there's no punishment, which of these reasons is it?

    • It's intended but not implemented yet
    • The devs haven't thought of an effective detection method
    • The company considers it acceptable behaviour

    some killers are doing it because they get Survivor map and they dont wanna play that map .. i did it sometimes too,

    I don't think that's a valid reason to ruin the game for 4 other people, especially at my (very low) level where map definitely isn't determining who wins. Does BHVR think it is?

    I'm struggling to come to terms with the casual attitude around this problem, every other online multiplayer game I've ever played has strict rules around being/going AFK and meaningful punishment if it happens often enough (with very good reason IMO). Even with a cursory look at this very forum, I can see multiple threads about it.

    (I'm assuming "Survivor map" is a map that favours survivors)
