Re: Abandoneers, suggestion to combat them, and then a rant of my opinion
@Zulkiersyeah, its really annoying when your Wraith random tap strafed herself into a deathbox and then they're instantly disconnected. Very common with Octanes and Pathfinders too.
There's a few things they could do, but it won't really help the problem, just make things worse.
1) Add leaver penalty to pubs, (ew)
2) Make the leaver penalty only countdown while the player has the game on and is active on it, (the whole point of the leaver penalty is to make the player feel like they're being punished for leaving, however there are matches where your teammates don't bring you back because they're being toxic, so eh)
3) Longer que times for players who keep leaving matches over and over again, (it should make them want to leave a whole lot less)
4) Putting people who leave back into the same match they just left from, (although it would end up making them just turn off the game, which I guess that can just activate the leaver's penalty that only counts down when they next get on)
No matter how you look at, think about, or go about it, players who leave the match, ruins the game for players almost as much as players who cheat, smurf, rat, boost others, etc.
Yet then again, players should be able to play how they want? Right? (besides cheating, smurfing, and boosting others).
If they only just add solos, they wouldn't have players running any mode as a solo, since there would be a dedicated mode for that, but "Apex is a team based game", I hear you saying,
*looks at people leaving matches, running off into Narnia, loot hogging, etc.*
You sure about that? Could of fooled me.
