The 'left game' penalty needs to be removed.Can you fix your inability to back-fill instead of trying to punish people for having other priorities?
1) You encourage bad mental behavior of trying to 'entrap' and 'coerce' people into something they're not enjoying
2) Point of arenas and control is casual mode focused on the shooting. Getting them back in game quick, not wasting time looting and dying instantly then waiting 3minutes to resume playing. It's perfect for people who just want to play apex as an fps rather than survival-craft-sim-2000, genuine solo play, or waiting for friends to show up.
- FPS and solo's will leave when they think your matchmaking is sh*t and not having fun
- Socials leave when their friends show up and they want to start playing together
No benefit to leaving penalty, except tryhards who want to 'win' every game and think making others suffer and continue playing is good, and to EA who want addictive behavior because those people splash the cash on loot boxes 🙂
