If someone's angry enough to rage quit and not want to play, wouldn't making them angrier help the problem? Along the lines of "Fuck this! Now I can't play either!? Fine I'm done!".
I would think it would help get rid of the people that are pissed off enough to rage out.
You should be allowed a DC or two a day though. You can't penalize people who might have an actual internet issue, but if there's a trend on the same account, you would assume they're just quitting to quit.

Had the best game last night Jason was chasing me and I yelled fuck off jason and he said ok sorry and walked away. I couldn't stop laughing.

Lol, I know what you mean. The fast matchmaking might actually be contributing to the problem. The people who die early and then quit are probably figuring out that it might be faster to quit and join a new game then it is to stick around for another 10-15 minutes in that game for minimal points.

It's quite easy actually. The main people "quitting" are doing it so that they get another chance at being Jason quicker. They just need to keep track through your profile of games you have completed. The more games you have completed in a row the higher chance of you becoming Jason. So each completed game lets say gives you a bonus 5-10% chance. Once you are picked as Jason it goes back to default. If you DC or Ragequit it goes back to default. Those are the only times it resets so people who play 1 or 2 games a day don't get harmed by it.
I guarantee you overnight you'd see the problem of quitters go away. I do also think the bonus XP should be closer to 1k but that's not the main driver for people quitting the moment they die.
Are you on the PS4? If so, search "Friday the 13th NeoGAF" in the communities tab.
I think that is a wonderfully nuanced idea. Add to it the timeout penalty and I think you would only see a DC when people's internet cut out.

The quitters I'm talking about are the ones who quit right when their caught or die by Jason. Just today, I had several counselors quit right in the middle of my executions.
But you're right we also should have incentives to stop people quitting cause they didn't become Jason.

Believe me those people and the ones that don't get Jason immediately are one in the same. If quitting affected their chances at becoming Jason they'd either stop playing altogether or stop quitting.
Given that I do believe in a couple more weeks only the people who truly enjoy all aspects of this game will still be around which would make the experience all around more enjoyable.

I had the funniest damn match earlier today on PC. One guy's name was Ghostbuster Jarvis, and I think he got killed first and came back as Tommy. The entire time, he was just blaring the Ghostbusters theme, and he and two other counselors spent the final 7 minutes of the match trolling the shit out of Jason. Stunning him one by one, running and getting new weapons when one of them broke, teabagging/dancing over him whenever he was on the ground, and just making his life miserable.
I haven't laughed that hard in a while.

On PC I've noticed more people quitting right away when they don't get picked as Jason. I'd still say the community is mostly fine, but there should be some system to deal with these sore losers.
Like really, are there players who only want to play Jason? You're missing out most of the experience. And playing as a counselor and spectating players helps you be a better Jason.

Yes, it's working now thanks to the latest patch.
Yup, it's much better from what I've played since the latest update.

I've noticed overall shittier people on PC than I have on PS4. Seems like every other game, someone's only objective is to troll and be an asshole. Had someone earlier who had keys for the car, so after I put the battery and gas in, they started it and once three other people piled in, they just waited for Jason to show up and let him pick people off out of the car one by one, not even attempting to drive away. Couple of us tried to run away and he ran one over.

I don't think that is true. Most people I have seen quit just quit because they died first. Doesn't happened in lfg games.
I think when you die maybe you should be able to put a needed item in an a building or become a ghost to slow down jason like a hand from jason goes to hell maybe.

Pick Jason part 9 and that'll stop happening. Or just wait until the hit box registration fucks them over.
I noticed spear Jason is also a good counter to armed counselors since his weapon has quite a bit of range to it.
That is just a good strategy...
Not when you're the sole person in the building. I'd understand if people were just buying time for the others, but I've seen people doing the former.
But it gives you more time to get away. Also, wasting Jason's time is always buying time for other players. If you are wasting Jason's time you are a hero.
May as well get a good hit in before im dead

Need 3 on Xbox if anyone needs a game msg quickwhips on Xbox.
I've been having luck with it lately. But the matchmaking errors and crashes are still garbage.

I guess a bunch of new people must be playing this weekend because I've gotten Jason a bunch and I can only imagine it's because they haven't set their preference.

I really think the preference makes little to no difference. Small example, I've had prefer Jason since the start and have hit Level 14 playing him once, my friend and I have played at least 10+ matches today alone and he's been Jason 5 times without choosing a preference.
My biggest gripe now outside of the regularly awful hit detection is getting killed in the first 2-3 minutes of a match, I feel that not allowing Jason to morph right at the start would counter that pretty easily.

People are babies.
That would be awful. It would severely handicap Jason players with a heavy Trap game in the early going.

I haven't noticed anything and I'm level 40. I know people were getting 2-3 red perks the first day. Feels like it's just random.

The best thing is when some people legit hide for 15+ minutes in a closet, under a bed, in an outhouse etc... what's the fun in that? I don't get it at all. And the better part is when Jason can't find it. So much fun to watch it after you die or escape

Had someone swim all the way out and make everyone wait out the match, long after everyone else died and Jason couldn't find her. Fun.

If everyone else is dead, or has escaped, and I have searched a ton of cabins without finding anything to help me get the car or boat running, I am hiding. I ain't going out on my shield for your entertainment. I'm in it to win it, baby.

How many environment kills are there? I've seen like 2 since most Jason's just use a regular grab kill for time efficiency.
I know there is the sleeping bag One, the fire place one. Coat hanger one. Thrown through a window. Campfire One, one where you throw the counsellor against a wall then stamp on their back while they lay on the floor. Any others?

Crush head against wall is one. Pretty sure I remember one involving impaling on a tree branch. Quite a bit actually.
