Quitting Apex Until this is fixed.

I am quitting apex do the fact that you guys have the worst penalties I have ever seen in any game ever. My whole squad dies in 2nd place and one guy on my team has a gold shield without me realizing...

The penalty system is asinine. You want people to play your game and not lock them out of it. I'm paired with another person who drops with me and a lone wolf who goes off in search of loot. The two of get downed and we are supposed to wait for our timer to expire and be forced to watch some loser lone wolf who doesn't understand teamwork.

Second part of the reason it's asinine is that you have weekly goals one or two being to get into the top five so you can level up. So, we force you to play a mode that you don't want to and then punish you once the round ends and you get stuck with some guy camping in the corner to scared to get into the fight.

You want to "punish" people for leaving a match early then dock them more 'rank xp' not lock them out. Developers of this portion of the game have no clue what the gamers would like, but are delusional.

Penalty systems this extreme are how you lose fan base and force your players to other games like Fortnite, Gears of War, etc. As stated above in another post, will not be playing this game until I hear that penalty system is removed, redesigned, or weekly goals no longer require ranked games.

You can remove me for 45 minutes. Just remember I don't require this game to survive, but Apex developers you do require players to survive. Good luck.

The Apex penalty system isnt as extreme as in League of legend for instance. In Apex, its totally OK to be as toxic as you want, behave and troll as much as you want and leave whenever you want in casual game modes. In ranked you get a timeout that gradually increases if you keep doing it. Compare that to LoL ;you get perma banned if you leave to many ranked games and you can get banned if you are too toxic or troll too much... Much harsher.

Also, you and I or anyone in here are just guessing if the leaver punishments actually is leading in a net loss of players. Yes, many of the rage quitters out there will ofc voice their disapproval and childishly declare how they now will uninstall but we dont know how many new players that now will keep playing Apex because of it.
