Why is it that you can't leave when your team clearly isn't about teamplay (or skill or the win) and you are missing a teammate?
Why do you force me to stay in the game when there is not even the slightest chance for me to win?
Also the split second when you rank up a tier and can't use your guns or abilities sucks.
I took 2 penalties today...one when we were up 70% to 30% and the other when we were down by about that much. Another game a said F it and just put my damn controller down lol
It's not doing anything positive for the game or mode. No one is pep talking up a team getting there butts handed to them, and no one is telling people to hold off so the opponents can have a chance...and both scenarios are boring and not fun IMO
I think the issue is not with leavers but with MM that is purposefully give one team an advantage.
When teams are balanced the match is usually balanced. But that's not what we get in Control.
Perhaps if they did a better job of SBMM and getting bugs out of the game people wouldn't want to leave while playing. Maybe have a reward for doing well in the game instead of punishing players because they leave. I've been lagging a few times and have had other bugs where I've needed to quit the game and now I'm being put in 'TIME OUT' because EA / RESPAWN can't make their game function properly? This will certainly drive new players away. Another issue is that if one team is doing really well then the other is basically TRAPPED at their own spawn point.
Hey EA / RESPAWN ... FIX YOUR GAME MODE AND GIVE PLAYERS REWARDS INSTEAD OF PUNISHING THEM! Guess what happens when people are forced to leave the game and have to wait? They often find something else to do and stop playing the game for a while. Is this the result you're looking for?? There definitely needs to be a mode where you can respawn but this needs some work.
It's so wonderful to see that they've not only left in the PENALTY for leaving the game...(which really sucks when the game glitches or you're lagging so bad that you can't play) ... but that it's not even implemented correctly. It states I'll have a timeout for 2 mins but is instead it's 4:45 every time. [EDIT: I just left a match and I was told there would be a 5 min. penalty and it ended up being 10 mins. Are they trying to make people NOT want to play Control?] So once again instead of FIXING this game mode they're penalizing players for their lack of implementation/game balance. I haven't noticed any real improvements to Control from the previous version. Also, I had assumed with the update we would have at least three maps but apparently TWO is the limit.
Control has the potential to be one of the best game modes they've created so far but they seem to be determined to make it fail. The BR mode just isn't fun when there are so many players that are not only better at the game but have better equipment to give them an advantage. Unfortunately, without a respawn mode (odd that it's the name of the company but there's not a permanent RESPAWN gameplay mode) it's near impossible to get any experience/practice to get anywhere near the level needed for playing against these people. Dying constantly and waiting to be respawned and then running around forever to get gear just to die again doesn't make for a fun game. And when you have a limited amount of playing/fighting time to practice in each match the road to getting better is far too long.
Unfortunately it seems Control is again just a Limited Time Mode. Personally I likely won't play Apex without a respawn mode. Once I can get my skills up to being somewhat reasonable then I will play the BR on occasion. Apex is honestly one of the coolest games out there but it definitely needs some work to make it more balanced and fun for everybody.
