Apex legends abandon penalty
Can yall please get rid of this stupid thing? It sucks when your team abandons you and I'm waiting for nothing.

The leaver penalty is the best feature of Season 3. Leave it. The only change they should make is if a teammate grabs your banner and doesn't respawn you within a minute or two, then you can leave without penalty. Two minutes out of your day isn't much. Stick with your team and you'll either win or lose. Simple.
@jonesy0218 Mhhhh, I don't think that's the best way. The first day of Season 3 I had one of my teammates lasered and the other with no bullets, so we had to sneak up past a very fierce fight (I think there were like 4-5 teams chasing each other in one of the tall building areas) to the only valid respawn beacon that was pretty far away. It took like 4 minutes, but in the end it took us one shot short of winning the match. The killed teammate thought at first that I'm chickening out when not running immediately to the respawn beacon, but seconds later he spectated me going unnoticed literally 5 feet behind a full squad. He was the first to gg at the end and my almost 1k damage was enough proof to him that I'm not afraid to pull the trigger, but I'm sure he would've left after the first 2 minutes, as things really looked hopeless.
@DoYaSeeMe But it's the only fair way to do it, especially if there's no mic. You can't expect someone to assume you're going to travel four minutes to a respawn beacon... It's not realistic. I think the timer is a perfect addition.
I think it’s important you understand that you ARE NOT the average player. The strictness of this penalty would make sense if you were but let’s face it. When a game looks hopeless. It is 98% of the time. We can sit here and pat ourselves on the back all day for being clutches but it won’t change the fact that it’s often just a 10 minute delay before reque with nothing to show for it but wasted time and pissed off players.
