2nd and 3rd option on Legend picks

Not sure if this has been suggested before, but it probably has been and was just buried among other things It would be really nice if we had alternate picks for other legends. Take for example...

@Xynocide> I wouldnt say absurd, right perhaps... Think about it. There are several reasons to be concerned.

Few examples:

a) 1 player disconnects early, the rest of the team jumps somewhere, then the 1 reconnects, stranded and solo, the rest 2 guys are maybe already downed, waiting till the timer goes so they can leave a match (they are still resurrectable till final death).

b) like in PUBG, lot's of free kills (and thus points) at the end of the ship drop, why would you want this???

c) when you disconnect in almost any situation, EVEN when you will be super quick and reconnect back in 30s, there is very high probability you'll be already dead - as i don't see reason why you would disconnect on purpose behind cover or hiden in corner = again free XP for others - WHY?

d)  say someone with happy interplay of coincidences disconnects hidden in middle of last circle - last 2 teams, you and enemy. You see 2 teams left, kill everyone in enemy team and then someone reconnects, so you killed second team and yet still game does not end as there is reconnected last guy, somewhere hidden... How would you react to this? I bet that it won't be described politely.

When you are out, you ARE out. No reconnecting should be possible in Apex, especialy when it is so fast paced.

@RandomCZ All your concerns are super easy to fix. When you get disconnected on purpose or crash or time out, you're dead and your teammates will get the banner automatically - or manually. Problem solved.

Just give a chance for people that got disconnect not on purpose. I just want to get back to my game, doesn't matter if i'll be dead or not. I just want that chance. As i told, yesterday we were playing ranked game, we entered a combat, i killed an enemy and suddenly boom. Game just froze. My teammates won that fight and played for another 15-20 minutes and got the 5th place as i remember. If there was a reconnect option, i could reconnect as a dead member and my teammates would have my banner and try to ressurect me. No abuses. Think about it.

    So it should have to be like this:

    Player disconnects, game make him dead (box), others can loot him, teammates can grab banner. I would'nt go for automatic banner delivery, because that is abusable.

    Player is no longer counted as "playing" thus no longer accounted in "teams / players left". But when he reconnects, he should be once again accounted making counter less reliable.

    And how would you solve points? Should he get XP only for the period he played, or for the whole match?

    Should he get RP for, lets say, winning the game, when he was 5 minutes out of match, not participating towards the goal?

    Will his dead state have effect towards teams achievements, like "Wins with full team alive" etc.?

    Like I said, it's not super easy 🤔
