-What I say in this video-

Greetings all! I wanted to talk about something that seemed really minor, but then I realized how big the problem really is. Disconnecting has always been a problem, and I admit, I do DC sometimes as well. ScottJund and King have both made videos on this topic.

They both have great points and I want to state my own opinion on this. I'm going to leave a link in the description of both their videos, but I'm going to quickly summarize Scott's point. Both sides talk about survivor more than killer, since survivors disconnecting is currently and has been relevent for an extremely long time. One of Scott's main point in the video is that survivors DC because they didn't have fun, and they prioritize their own fun rather than the other players, and I agree. If you value other player's fun more than yourself, you are very special and you aren't going to be able to relate to this, but why should a person care about how much someone else has fun? You could bring up that players should have manners, but a lot of people play games to have their own fun, regardless of other players.

Now King has kinda inspired me to make this video. He says that DCing is a huge issue in the game, and those who DC should be punished, which I also agree. Both guys have good points, but I wanted slide my own opinion. Ever played a game that has punishment for leaving? I haven't played a lot that do that casually, but a LOT for competitive games. Games like CS:GO and R6 will punish you with a timeout period if you leave a ranked game, and it increases when you leave frequently. But does DBD really need this? It's simple, and it works.. right? You see, I've thought about this, and this could cause some major issues. When you intentially leave a ranked game in CS:GO or R6, you deserve to be punished, but what if it's not intentional? Crashes, losing internet in-game. Hell, Lagswitchers, exploiters, being stuck in a specific place where you can't get out with disconnecting, lot's of times where disconnecting should be promoted. The disconnect button does not exist because of players that rage quit, because that is bannable.

You might think it, but I highly doubt that the devs will add a timeout for people who disconnect. It would be great if it wasn't for a lot of issues in the game. If they ever got fixed, then maybe, but since the Devs are heavily focusing on content, rather than good balance changes and bug fixes, It might take a year or two just to get a timeout feature implemented.

So now what? Well, the punish for DCing as of right now, is losing 3 pips. Nobody cares about that, and a lot more people think that too now, due to the new ranking system. Rank should matter, but it simply doesn't. So how do we fix this issue? It won't be easy, in fact it will take a lot of work put into this, but here me out.

I've had this idea in mind for a long time, and I want you to hear me out on this. A split between casual and competitive players. Deceit being a good example. It has a casual queue, and a ranked queue. Players who just want to have fun in the game will play casually, and players who want to get much better at the game will play ranked. But what sets it apart most from DBD is this, A REASON TO RANK UP.

Rewards. It has rewards. If you really want to solve the problem of disconnecting, add a reward system. People LOVE getting crap. I know of ton of people who didn't play DBD for a while until one of the limited DBD events happened where you could unlock items for your character. Now you could implement that into ranked, where you can get rewards for how high your rank is. There are a lot of things the devs could do, it's up to them.
I know I've said this in a different video, but devs, we don't expect it over night, or anything. As long as we finally see some progress in a fix for all of this, it would be great.

Hope you guys enjoyed the video, and if you're new here, check out my other stuff that I've made maybe, you might like it here. See you guys in the next one.
