Remove abandon penalty from Mixtape mode
I've said thousands, tens, hundreds of billions of times to remove rubbish features like the abandon penalty from mixtape mode, which is not only useless but only gets in the way of players, so I rea...

Though in that case the problem would be the state of the matches themselves, the matchmaker and the amount of cheaters.
Getting rid of the abandonment penalty will not solve those problems, it would be a bandaid fix that would not solve any of the problems at hand. The abandonment penalty is not the root cause of the problem.
Not only would you be introducing the previous problem of matches just ending prematurely because of the domino effect where everyone leaves one by one, but the original problems of poor matchmaking & a lot of cheaters would exist.
Personally I can't see how that change would be helpful to the game, if you need to get rid of the abandonment penalty because most of the matches aren't worth to be played, at that point there is a larger problem at hand.
In such case, we should be complaining about poor matches or the cheaters, as that is what's causing the problems.
That's why I'm saying it's wrong to try to force players into matches when those issues haven't been resolved!
Don't you understand why I'm saying that if you want to implement abandon penalties to stop players from leaving, then do it after you're able to provide decent matches that are playable?
You say that everyone is dropping out one after the other like dominoes falling, causing the match to end early, but the matches themselves are already full of things that don't work properly because of cheats and **bleep**ty team balancing, so why can't you understand that forcing players into something that isn't even a match and trying to make them play to the end is wrong in and of itself?
There are so many low quality matches and matches full of cheats, so before you complain about them, stop wasting your time by binding yourself to those rubbish matches!
As I have said many times, only once we are able to provide properly functioning matches should we introduce systems such as abandon penalties to prevent players from leaving.
As things stand, we are only able to provide low-quality matches, so I am saying that we need to first build a system that can provide matches that are close to fair, rather than a system that forcibly prevents players from leaving!
I simply cannot understand why they don't realize that the number of people playing Mixtape mode and Apex itself is plummeting because people are sick and tired of the system offering only crappy matches, and then have to waste their time on those crappy matches because of the abandon penalties.
