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...

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.

What you didn't seem to grasp is that this ship has sailed long ago, because we do know as fact that the penalty system has already been implemented when it was turned on by mistake.

So we are now past the question "Is a penalty system coming?", because it definitely will come. The real question is only: when?

This means that your whole argument is pointless, because the basic decision has already been made weeks ago. And when full play games even like Overwatch can implement such a thing, then Apex Legends for sure can too!

A bad design decision, even if been made, can (and should) be reconsidered.
So yes, there definitely is a point to tell the devs why leaver penalty is a questionable (to say the least) decision and should not be implemented even if the option presents somewhere in the game code.

And when full play games even like R6 Siege can be just fine without such a thing, then Apex Legends for sure can too!
