Leaver Penalty is going to ruin this game.
This is going to kill the game, watch. One of the best things about Apex is if you are playing with an unfavourable person you do not have to play with them, you can leave the game and instantly join...

The penalty system is alright, they just need to tune it, like if someone has been leaving like 10 times within 2 hours then maybe they can suffer a 5 minute ban. But I think the Penalty system for leaving was mainly made to counter those Chinese Spam bots.
I think the purposed ban for leaving squads is a superb idea and it should be implemented as soon as possible. Just saying
This game can't have a punish system for multiple reasons.
But here is a scenario that everyone will experience when a punish system will be implemented.
You drop someone with your team.
You die because punching is overpowerd and buggy in this game ( please remove the knock back from punching... )
You are already pissed ( at least i am when i get punched down )
You stay because a good teammates picks up your banner.
Your good teammates goes sit in hidden corner.
Hey what are you doing dude? please revive me?
Now hes laughing at you telling you.
You gotta watch me now for the next 10 min or deal with the punishment this game gives you for leaving.
Then turns on the rick roll music over the in game voice chat.
Now imagine this happening 2 times in a row.
Now you don't have to imagine apex is completely dead.
Also when a players leaved the squad instantly after dying
Why be upset about it?
How is punishing him going to help you win this game?
leaver Punishments should only be implemented when the games gets competitive like a matchmaking system with leader boards / ranks etc.
And a leaver would interfere with the rest of the squads progress.
When a guy leaves your squad at the moment the only thing is does is make the win extra sweet. ( 2 person win )
Hell i even got a few people in my friend list because we duo'd the win.
All of you guys advocating for leaver punishment don't really grasp how terrible it is for this game. You CAN'T have a leaver punishment system in this game with its current team of 3 structure, and here are a few reasons.
Someone raging at you and then leaving isn't a reason for leaver penalties, it's a reason for reporting players for poor behaviour penalties.
When I get placed with a jumpmaster that wants to land at the furthest point possible from the starting point, I have very little interest in being in that game. Why should I be forced to land at the end of the map, not see anyone until its 5 squads left, shoot at maybe 2 people and effectively waste 15+ minutes? They implemented solo jumping probably to avoid situations like this. So now I jump solo, get in on some quick action, die, and go to a new game because my team still dropped at the furthest point in the map. Except now I can be punished because I didn't want to play farmville legends?What about when you queue with a duo team and they're total dbags? Yea sure you can mute them and start doing your own thing, but then you get downed and they just * you around some more. So I'm expected to sit there even longer and wait for the timeout while these guys are being *? This is yet again another reason why you need a bad behaviour reporting system.
And we all know that the random disconnects and crashes haven't been addressed yet, people still disappear for no reason to no fault of their own. You'll end up punishing people because the game crashed or they disconnected and they will lose all interest in playing the game again.
You can't jump into a game where you're forced to play with randoms and expect a perfect game every time. Poor behaviour should be addressed because some people are jackoffs, but there's a lot of reasons for someone to leave a game and a leaver punishment system will definitely ruin the game. This isn't League of Legends so stop trying to compare them to one another.
