Re: take down the penalty for leaving Ranked Matched

EXACTLY!

Literally the only reason why I'm on this page right now is because I just got a 45 minute wait penalty. Like, the 20 minute wait for leaving before was already ridiculous, so are you * kidding me??

Just like the OP said, why would I wait out a whole game after my teammates decide to ignore my box, or neglect to revive me? All that does is reward negative behavior. I leave a game because it frustrates me to have toxic players as my teammates, and then I get even more frustrated because I can't just play the game like I want to.

I would even understand if the penalty was only for ranked matches, but considering it blocks you from even playing regular apex, this system is entirely pointless. I'm starting to not even want to play the game at all, knowing that I won't be able to play if I leave a game. It's such a waste of money and time, and if they don't see a problem with that, I don't want to support the developers anymore.

    @thenoclannoob After receiving a 20 min penalty, you still decided to rage quit your next match? Do you have no self control?

    OP : Would you rather wait 30 minutes or 1-15min?

    15 minutes is if your teammates are top5 or less. Which would reward you some RP so you don't loose any.

    Nonetheless, I do not see an immediate need to leave the game earlier than needed. I have been playing Ranked since it's release and have not gotten a single penalty because I have no need to leave prematurely.

    I understand being frustrated but a little self control goes a long way to avoid any forced wait times.

    See, the thing about the wait is that it's not independent of the day before. So, if I left a game last week, I'll still get the increased penalty this week. That's absolutely ridiculous.

    Also, I don't rage quit these games. Immediately leaving the game because you get downed, or die, isn't quite the same as leaving the game because of neglectful or trolling teammates.

    Would you like to play, or even watch a game with teammates that allow you to purposely bleed out in order to take your fully-kitted gear? I doubt that. 

    Because of cases like these, the penalty should AT LEAST not affect regular apex. There's already the negative RP penalty for leaving a match early. I'm sure that increasing that penalty would greatly help the serious players that want to actually competively play Ranked Matches. 

    I've paid into the game, and therefore I'd like to be able to play it without others ruining it for me. This is the sort of thing that I believe a lot Apex gamers have problems with.

    Oh, and these time penalties just started this season, thats why you wouldn't have gotten them before. @iBlockHead

    @thenoclannoob and into season 3, I have yet to get a single penalty because I don't leave. I have also had times where teammates let me die but do not leave unless my banner grays out.

    It's a simple 1 minute wait time, if you can't wait a few minutes than why continue to leave knowing you will only get a longer penalty?

    @iBlockHead I'm not quite sure if you've seen this happen, but considering you say you don't leave, you probably haven't noticed that even leaving after the banner is grayed out can be bugged. 

    That's fine if you all want to wait the whole match, but don't hold other players to an inconveniencing standard. Not everyone has the time to be able to wait whole matches after completely dying. The whole point of apex/ battle royale is that it's a pick-up-and-play game. If you want players to stay the whole game, give a reason for them to stay after dying, other than possibly getting a win IF your team is good enough.

    @thenoclannoob I never got the need because once I die, most likely my team dies and if they don't, they carry my dead body to top 5 or win.

    Anyways, you have the option to play casual and leave every single game early if you want. I do it too because I just hate being paired with players who run in circles.

    The incentive to stay until your banner is gray or just staying the whole match is not losing RP. At higher ranks, RP means a lot vs lower ranks where you can rank up by simply playing game after game. If you do not feel this is enough, than stick to casual until you learn to stay in a match.
