This is Asia Situation

Same in Hong Kong Server. Champ select they start spamming their advertisement * and you're forced to listen to it until drop time when all your "teammates" which are just spam bots disconnect to join their next game to start spamming * again. Apex Legends needs to ban accounts that consistently disconnect before drop, and don't open up the voice and text chat until drop ship.

It's a major problem, can't get a single game anymore on Asia without having a bot on my team. Not a SINGLE moderator or developer on this forum has acknowledged that it is a problem, instead they are hunting down people that link the bot names (ooooooh noooo, how dare they link the name of bots that are infesting every game) it's absolutely pathetic that we can't get a straight answer. Was hyped to play today, literally the first game I get, 2 bots spamming their cheat advertisements, spamming the chat with whatever those damn codes mean. The report system is a damn joke, I'm not going to sit here an manually type in the hundreds of bot names I see every day just to get new bots the next day. Can't even get 1/3 of a lobby with actual players anymore it's so frustrating. Only way to remotely enjoy the game from Asia is to change data center, which absolutely sucks by the way, having to wait on the login screen for a hidden menu to show up is ridiculous. The reason we are showing the names of the bots isn't because we are witch hunting them, it's a desperate cry to developers to help us so we can play the amazing game they have created.

Having the same problem here in the Japanese Server.  7 out of 10 games there is always 1 Random Player (BOT) that Spams sites to their cheats. Sometimes they have their Mics on where it is promoting the website (The Language sounded Chinese).  Please fix this issue ASAP before it ruins this awesome Game. Thank you!

1. Prime match making for people who buy battle pass

2. 1 min cool down every 3 games you leave before dying. stackable

3. In game report option

Devs do this

lol only 21 people dropping for god sakes please implement what im saying or your game is literally dead 

They probably won't do anything about it, they are scared to admit that they messed up. We haven't heard anything from them on the matter and it's just getting worse every day. An in game report option won't even help against the bots, they'll just keep making new account over and over until there is no one left on asia to sell their hacks to. Even then the bots will probably start spreading to other regions and ruin the game for everyone there as well

skill ranked match maker would also fix this.

Its amazing how many companies do not learn anything from RIOTS examples with league of legends.

You can't stop hackers,  you can only encourage fair play which deters nonsportlike players and keeps them isolated.

I mean look at the difference between Dota and LoL in North America...

Also this sounds more like a China situation.  Not an Asia one. 

In Japan they have put 17 year olds in jail for cheating.  In China they probably see it as a way to spoil the west lol.  And lets not forget Korea where they respect e-sports as much as Americans and Europeans respect football.

im am uninstalling this game. this game is dead.

It's a problem on all asia servers.

I posted this days ago. No answer. I made a thread on reddit. No answer.

I tagged many respawn accounts on reddit, no answer.

I tagged respawn accounts on Discord, no answer. However one respawn account's name did pop up as 'typing' for a second and then disappear after I tagged him, so I can safely assume he's aware of the issue and actively refuses to comment on it.

The very simple solution is to disable audio in legend select. But they won't even acknowledge it.
