Apex Legends - Players who quit!I’ve noticed that when players you have downed quit/leave the kill is recorded in game but once you finish the match and check your stats the kill is not recorded. Infuriating!So by this measure that game is not being recorded on their stats. Players who do this should be penalised and you should receive the kill.A penalty should also be applied to players who quit whilst their banner is still available. Effectly you are rewarding sore losers and players who don’t play with any integrity.If you desire to create a long lasting, friendly yet competitive community these kind of issues should be resolved. Salty players shouldn’t be able to manipulate anyone’s stats and effect their game experience.

@HamoHitman: I don't think this is a game for you...

@HamoHitman Wow. I just read through every reply you've given on this thread, and what a ride that was. To be very clear, this next part is not a trolling attempt or anything, so please hear me out here because you seem to have lost perspective on something: You're the a**hole here.I know that's not a great thing to read, but you are the real problem with this game. Not people who drop to airship. Not people who 'drop right next to me'. Not people under level 15 (seriously man, you quit if a teammate is under level 15? wtf). You. The best piece of advice/perspective I can give you - from a lifetime FPS gamer since CS 1.6 - is that dropping with crap teammates is the norm, not the exception. Really. Think about the number of crap teammates you've had, and how obvious it is that they're crap. It happens a lot, right? Here's the secret - it happens to everyone else a lot too. It's an inescapable part of team-based online PvP games. You might think that you're at some kind of disadvantage because your 'teammates are trash', but odds are every single (not full premade) squad in your match contains 1 crap rando. Every good player in this game is playing with the exact same handicap you are. My friends and I have a designated 'complain about Apex thread' that is literally nothing but venting about our shittiest drops so everyone can laugh about how terrible it is. But then we put on our big boy pants and go play another game.The problem here is that you need to change your mentality about the game. You're not playing a slot machine where the point is to constantly re-roll your teammates until you hit a jackpot. The point is to play to win with whatever team you're randomly given. Some games your teammates will be awesome, and some games your teammates will be terrible. Work with it. If you just quit because something isn't how you want it you're ruining the game for every single team you disconnect from, leaving them 2v3 for the rest of the match. You're the problem.Now before you angrily reply back to this message - just sit there for a second. Take a deep breath. Remember this isn't a troll attempt, I'm genuinely trying to help you as someone who has always gotten unbelievably frustrated by the exact same problem you're describing. I've also, like I said, read all of your posts in this thread already and not a single point you made is a valid excuse for what you're doing.You say you only 'play to win'? Then do it. Don't be the a**hole.

How about No? Rezing is fine when you playing with bros, but if you pugging. It is better and faster to just go to the next match. A few reasons why.To be rezed you already wasting time and regearing whatever. The point is, that rezing is only good in a premade where you can overcome the negatives much easier.This game would pay a heavy price if it punish people for wanting to get in a new match quickly.All that needs to happen is fix it so the stats count, anything else would be dumb.

I'm begining to leave as soon as I can if my squad has any under lvl 15...if you drop right next to me I'm leaving...if you get shot at and don't ping prior to dying your on your own. If you wanna camp in a single building I'm leaving...if you launch to the supply ship I'm leaving...periodSo it's play as you see fit or your squad loses out? Nice.I drop wherever the jumpmaster drops. The only time I break off is if it's getting crazy busy and I'll ping a new location and divert there.I bet you're a barrel of laughs to play with.Edit: Just for the record, I got grouped with x2 low levels who were on mic. I dropped with them and began to explain some game mechanics and best things to do as a new player. After we got wiped we chatted over voice for a bit to talk about the game.My point? How about as a best player ever veteran, you took "trash noobs" under your wing? We were all trash noobs once you know. Nothing like a bit of ego elitisum on forums.Matchmaking could help here but as it stands it's on players to help other players, ya know, being a team game and all. But just quit and leave them to it. They are not worthy of being on a team with a pro obviously.

That is fine if you want to quit out once your banner is not recoverable but you are still in the game until then and it isn’t fair to those remaining in your team.Personally I feel solos and duos would work and that the game should introduce these.But you shouldn’t be allowed to quit because you had a poor showing and don’t want it reflected in your stats. If you had 5 plus kills in a game you wouldn’t quit out.There is a clear difference between quitting out because of your poor game and leaving because you were out. It is clearly an act of a sore loser.

Your referring to playing styles that is a separate issue and not controllable. We are talking about quitting and the stats not reflecting matches played/kills accurately.

I'm not quitting because they don't play the way I want to...what benefit is there to dropping at the supply ship? There are maybe 6 total guns on that ship and an average on 4-5 teams who go for the ship...now you have 12-15 players trying to get 6 guns on a 2 floor ship...provided your able able to make it off the deck where there's usually 3 guns. Its a stupid play. Now onto not splitting off. Let's say we drop skull town and I drop at one of the corner blue tents...there's nor mallya re 45 or Mozambique in there...but you didn't split off...now we have 3 players and 1 with a gun. The other team landed in 3 different adjacent buildings...now the other squad has 3 players with 3 guns and you've got to make it all the way across skull town with no gun whilst the enemy team is firing at us in unison unchallenged because we have 1 player with 1 gun. But this is simply " the way I wanna play"? No it's the smartest most efficient way to get out of the drop zone. Most higher lvl players realize that controlling the initial loot spawns on drop is vital to early game...but I guess this is "the way I wanna play" huh? No it's a purely logical play style for catching dubs...I'm no pro..NOT fighting with your teammate for loot is common sense. I get paired with maybe 2 mic'd up players over 50 games...I don't play fps for social hour...I play to win. I'm not a gaming coach and I don't want to be...for example earlier tonight. I played a game with a lvl 15 and a 17...we are outside of the bunker in one of the small houses...I hear footsteps inside as we rotate by...I red ping it...my squad is right next to me...I arc star through the window hit 3 guys for 70...I call "hit 70 3 shields crack"...I open the door and knock a lifeline....I call "lifeline knocked"... I take 30 dmg...I drop the Bangalore..." I call "Bangalore knocked"...took 70 dmg or so...I then put 150 dmg on the wraith..the wraith hits me with a pk and I get knocked..I call " I'm down hit the wraith for 150"... I look at my map and both arrows are on the side of the building...they continue to sit there and the wraith takes them both out each with 200 health. The wraith rez's both and I just lost 2 kills due to complete idiocy. So my stats should reflect this as well right? But no...my stats say 0 kills and 1 death because my " teammates were to trash to kill 1 player with 50hp while having 200hp each. But no 0 and 1 is what it'll say..so no I'm not having my stats screwed by bad teammates

He is saying why should his k/d be affected by uncontrollable factors such as terrible teammates? Why should my stats be affected negatively because I'm essentially solo squading? Will it say in the stats that I knocked 2 out of 3 by myself and then died or will it just say 0 kills 1 game played

If you quit out because you were killed it takes that kill away from the person who downed eliminated you and that not fair. We are not talking styles or tactics here. Just a fair reflection on the stats. It’s a two way street.

You have proved the point about quitters as you are doing it to reflect your stats, which aren’t a true reflection if you quit and are not fair on those who have beaten you.

You load into a match expecting a game but if doesn’t go your way, you pick up the ball and say ‘screw you guys I’m going home’ lol.

I mean it's also not a fair reflection of my stats if I'm 1 v 3 every game. And I leave after I'm thirsted...if I leave any other time it's before I get shot at so I'm not taking anything from anyone

Turn your mic on make some friends and then form a squad. There are good players out there maybe not as many as the bad but if you consider yourself as good you won’t have a problem finding and geling with them with the right atttitude.

Everyone else experiences the same as you do when I’m playing as solo in a squad. You know what you are getting into! Personally when I’ve ended up as a solo as of poor team mates that have died due to lack of ability or decision making my game improves in others areas which I turn helps my overall game.

Your stats are only as good as the data that goes into them. So your stats are not a true reflection, affectively saying that you will cheat to give the appearance of a better player than you actually are. Surely you don’t want to lose your kills to quitters either.?!

Solos and duos would be good additions but those same salty players will still rage quit when beaten. It’s simply a bad attitude and cheating other players. It is a co-op game.

I guess that’s fine considering there is only one game mode. Personally I would give them a chance. I know the feeling of 1 v 3 but that can happen with good teammates, we all had to learn the same way. Those players can be infuriating, I feel your pain too.

We all have our quirks. You quit games at the smallest sign of adversity. I quit reading posts when they don't have paragraphs.

An addiction to stat tracking is your problem.
I did the same years ago and it drained the fun out of the games I played.
I like the lack of public stats in this game. I just play (to win essentially) but to have fun. Some matches last 20 seconds. Others I win. Each game is a new experience and I just have fun. I agree, randoms can be awful, but not everybody is as invested as you in the game. Some may be older, not great eyesight, or less than perfect motor functions. I'm the wrong side of young but I can hold my own and I intend on playing games for as long as I can. I love online shooters and race sims.
Stat tracking is the work of the devil lol.
