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.
I sort of hate this. The first time or two it wasn't so bad, but after playing the fright night crap as my intro to the game.. chasing the challenges, it got quite boring playing as shadows. So, I built a muscle memory for bowing out as a shadow. Then I started ranked play, and sometimes in my first game or two I will back out if I have a really stupid squad and someone runs away and the remaining of us are downed.. it's obvious there's no rez going to happen so I exit. Then I'm like.. crap.. I forgot the penalty.. I guess I can't play for like 45 minutes.
It really should give a reminding WARNING about the penalty you're taking for leaving. Not just the regular 'are you sure' message for exiting.
10-15 minute penalty is plenty. This 45 minute * is going to make me go back to fortnite for the chapter 2 after I said I wouldn't. 45 minutes is a long time to not play in the window I set aside for gaming.
