Game Crash, No Rejoin Option

Wondering if there's going to be an option to rejoin a match that you were in the middle of. Or if there already is one and I'm just missing something..

There should really be a rejoin feature to join back into your game thst you were in after your game crashes. PUBG has it and it is so nice to have. My Apex crashes at least 2 to 3 times a day and it sucks I cannot rejoin my game I was playing before I crashed. It would be a nice quality of life feature, and if your player dies before you join back then it will tell you, you cant join back. Please implement this. If PUBG can have it, why can't Apex?

They already said they won't be adding this. They said it would be abused, not sure how though?

  Jay Frechette, Apex Legends community manager, in his post on Reditt, specifically said:
  "We are currently not pursuing (reconnect) for a couple reasons
  1. It opens a lot of risk for players to abuse it.
  2. We believe the resources needed to build, test, and release it are better spent focused on fixing stability issues so that the feature isn’t necessary."
  Of course his reason number 1, that people could abuse it... is ridiculous. No popular game with a PVP match reconnect feature removes the player from the world or makes them immune to game consequences because they disconnect, not LoL, not PUBG, not any game I'm aware of. If they disconnect. In LoL, they "mindlessly walk back to spawn", and in PUBG they just stand still, lacking any player input. In both cases, they can be killed, quite easily in fact. In neither case is disconnecting creating an abusable advantage.
  However, reason number two is quite sane. If you get to choose between either:
  a. fixing the bugs that cause 98% of crashes and disconnects, and
  b. putting in a reconnect feature so people get to push the button to reconnect 5 times a day, which would you pick?
  I'd take option-a every time.

EA just wants to milk all the money out of Apex and trow it out in the trash...They wont fix crash issues... Game is out for more then 5 weeks now. Crash fix should have been on top of their to do list... Apex will die.. Just saying

Uhm, you are ignoring the real issue and want a weird solution.

They should fix the game crashing. and your solution won't be required.
