Implementing punish systems is very grevious towards the consumers.
Apex Legends is in perfect condition and good job for that EA!
As of the latest patch since this post, there was a change to the game that I felt is going in the wrong direction as a whole.
Do not punish players for leaving the game! It should be our prerogative to leave game that we deem a pointless!
There was a beautiful chemistry of natural behavior taking place when we played, I'll try to demonstrate by giving examples:
example
1) Three players as a whole team we jump to skull town, player A and B dies but player C seems to be playing very good and is demonstrating that he is capable of carrying this game, player A and B decides to stick and not leave because they see hope and potential in this player C.
That right there is good take notes EA!!, it is their own good pleasure to not leave because they see it worthwhile to invest time into this player rather than quit and start a new game. (not enforced by EA, because otherwise we will be punished !!)
example:
2) Three players as a whole team we jump to skull town, player A and B keeps dying, spam pinging (backseat gaming) and showing all the weak signals of a weak player and being revived by player C. Eventually player C slips up and gets knocked down, he reads the situations and deems is hopeless and pointless, learns from his mistake and makes the call it's better to just move on unto the next game.
That right there should be our prerogative, that is good!
Stop forcing player C to continue playing by threatening leaver penalty if player C deems it is a waste of time and hopeless, YOU ARE GOING TO BURN OUT PLAYER C IN THE LONG RUN BY FORCING HIM TO CONFORM AND CATER TO WEAK PLAYER LIKE PLAYER A AND B AND ONLY MAKES HIM TOXIC TOWARDS HIS TEAMMATES BECAUSE HE IS CAGED WITH THEM, AND ONLY INCREASES HIS EXPECTATIONS.
Think about it by forcing player C to continue playing as it goes against his very nature because or else he gets punished, it will only make him irritated and furious towards weak players and it will frustrate him even more playing with crap players and that toxic feeling will burn him out!
Stop catering to weak players, nobody wants to invest into something that is not worthwhile, ALLOW NATURE TO TAKE IT COURSE.
this is a competitive game, nobody is going to want to stick out with the weaker player at the end of the day, SO DONT FORCE IT.
If anything try to encourage a pattern of behaviour with good rewards and leave it to the players free will, and rather allow that player to consciously make an effort to restrict himself for that reward. Do not enforce a player a pattern of behaviour by punishment, player will only lose his love for that game and you are only robbing that player of the simplicity of why he is playing, to have fun and enjoy themselves, not to play apex at the condition of if you do not abide by these rules you get punished because player A and B are complaining on forums because circumstances are not in their favor because they are * at the game.
Only thing that should be punishable in this game is obvious malicious intended behaviour, often times people don't mean bad by leaving games, but trying to dive a whole team into the water at the start of the game or blowing into the microphone because a person did not get their legend or verbal assault in hopes of destroying a persons feeling should be punishable or short cuts like cheating should be punishable.
It was truly a fresh of breath air starting this game after quitting fortnite, but already now that fresh air is now being polluted slowly and is just stirring up grevious feelings.
Nerf, buff, change the map in this game but do not rob us of our free will because you want people to cater to weaker shittier player who fails to frame a mindset that will make them a good player but instead who will always blame and find fault with their circumstances for their faults.
I repeat myself, do not punish people for not wanting to invest into something they do not deem worthwhile, if anything encourage that pattern of behaviour with rewards because it goes against our own very NATURE. Punishing us for failing to go against our own very nature is religion, nobody likes religion.
This game went from fun to play SOLO to only fun to play with FRIENDS, Ill wait out a game for a friend I know and care about because there is a greater value to protect and honor.
I am not going to wait out a game for a random because or else I get punished there is no value in that, that's just weird and only damages my relation to EA and Apex.
