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...

I think there are two sides to it, but I believe the main reason it's implemented is to stop people from leaving games that really they should stay in.

I often have people drop in get killed while they're looting and then leave before I can even revive them, It's really annoying.

I think it's fair to leave when you are dead and your teammates are somewhere totally different with no chance of recovery, but the list of things you just put are things that are totally playable around.

Sometime you just have to build up a little bit of tolerance for your teammates, I mean they're complete randoms and most of the time that's exactly what everyone else is having to deal with too and that's totally fine.

Anyway a leaver penalty wouldn't ruin the game, I think the way they had it with a penalty after leaving multiple games in a row was the right way to do it.

I think furthermore there should be a buffer that you can't leave a game for 10 seconds after being eliminated, as it gives people some time to cool down and assess rather than instantly rage quit.

I feel your pain! A lot of players have different play styles and unless they're on the mic telling you what they're doing, it's possible they could be getting into a better position to come recover your banner. It might not always be wise to go get the banner right away because the enemy team could be camping it.

Was at my friends over the weekend and their son jumped into Apex Legends for the first time. He's a big Fortnite player. As soon as he died he went to leave the game because out of natural habit. Luckily, I stopped him before he quit and explained they still have a chance to get you back into the game.
