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...

@Vruhag Right, I'm well aware of their oops when they released it accidentally and I was more addressing my comments to people that think it's a good idea for a leaver system in this game. My comment isn't pointless because if Respawn is actually paying attention to these forums then they need to reconsider how they penalize players. I still don't think a leaver system should be implemented at all, but a player report should be.

As long as there are no other game modes available, the game is being designed as a three man team game, and meant to be played that way. Squads with an early leaver have a big disadvantage due to this, which makes it unfun for the staying players.

So unless they are introducing new game modes and they want to ensure that the game stays fun for most of the player base, they need to make a decision: either penalize the quitters, or just let it run down the hill. Either way what they're doing, one side will complain.

The way to go for this is an automated penalty system - and if the quitters cry, then so be it. It's by far means the smaller part of the community which would complain in the long end.
