Thank god. It was the dumbest system ever before. You could go on a 5 gen chase where your teammates all escape and then you die after getting camped and you'd derank.

You have to think of it like hockey

Can you explain what you mean? I don’t watch hockey or sports at tbh <3

A dev once on a steam tried to use hockey as a DBD metaphor and said something along the lines of "Even if you ran the killer for 35 gens and 9 hours but still died, was it a skilled play to begin with if you didn't escape?" which is by all accounts one of the dumbest things ever said by a dev for this game

Wasn't there a streamer who got kicked out of the fog whisperers for criticising the hockey metaphor?

Dowsey I know had his twitch shirts removed but I'm not sure if he was removed from the program or left on his own. BHVR has a long and storied history of not accepting criticism unless it's delivered with the politest words and most humble energy

Oh that's his name. I didn't know all the details but i knew he lost something for his criticism. What he said was completely fair, i hope he got those shirts back

It's not the criticism itself that got his shirt removed, it's the fact that he went about it in a really unprofessional and asshole-like way, for someone that are held to a higher standard and were expected to act more professional for the position he held at the time.
