Simple Fix for Players Leaving

Question

You shouldn't need to leave the game just to queue again. Let's say you're in a game and everyone dies. The game should add you to the matchmaking queue while you're watching that same server. This will promote people to stay over leaving.

Also, it shouldn't group you with the same team you just had, just saying you should be able to queue for any playlist in the streaming part once you die ingame. For example you start a match, hot drop and your team dies. You're sitting there watching the team that killed you and pop in the next room picking your heros again.

@Popa2caps If you're still in a match after getting eliminated, it is mostly because you want to spectate, maybe to see who wins, expose a cheater, check the death recap. The game can't tell what's in your mind and shouldn't interrupt you unless it also provides you the option to keep spectating. This becomes a problem for a new match, as it can't start without 60 players.

Another thing: a match needs to close to take some load off the server by having less clients to update and so that everything related to it can be unloaded from memory (skins, variables, etc.), making room for those of the fresh match.

Then, the main lobby is an essential part of the flow. This is a free to play game, its revenue relies on the shop, so this needs to be within grasp, not more than one click away. The legend skins are also showcased here, so that players are given the impulse to refresh them every once in a while.

@Popa2caps Fortnite has something similiar when your eliminated or the match is over you just hit a button and it automatically starts queueing you for the next match while your still in game

O that's cool didn't know that. Respawn should add it.Not sure on when they added respawn towers, but i guess sometime after the lauch of Apex.

I don't thin it would help. Players usually disconnect because they don't want to wait. The punishment in the ranked mode helps a lot, but there are cases when team mates rage disconnect too. I think adding a bonus for "No Teammate Left Behind" would have more benefits. If somebody stays in the game (if there is a way to re spawn him, so the same rule as we have in ranked) then he would receive a massive bonus, maybe a legendary tokens would help.

I'm not for an idea to reward people for doing something they should be doing. Only talking on the "don't quit before the whole team is dead". No one should leave before they see the words their team is eliminated.
