Three Strikes should be permanent.

@reconzeroThree strikes gives you a few good things. Firstly, it offers you chances at revenge. In Battlefield, I actually enjoyed hunting down that guy that just killed me 3 times in a row. BR robs you of that and leaves you feeling horrible when you get obliterated. In Three Strikes, at least you can vent that rage. Secondly, it ensures a ridiculous end game every time. We know that Respawn things that hectic end games are the "ultimate Apex experience" so this fits right in. I don't agree with them, but they've made no bones about it with how they've approached Ranked.

On the downside, it just exaggerates how horrible the matchmaking is. Instead of getting destroyed by a 3 stack in milliseconds once, now you have the joy of that 3 times in one match. The current meta of revive legends (LL, NC, Mirage) also turns a lot of the fights into a "res off" where everybody just revives teammates with no regard for anything else.  While hectic, that can be annoying after a while.

All said, I think it is more good than bad.
