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.

It would be stupid to punish for "early" leaving when player is dead and can't be revived/re-spawned.
I am positive that you can leave after 90 sec, if banner is not obtained.

Community AdminOnce you're unrevivable after your box times out, you can leave. However if your banner is recovered, you need to wait for the team wipe/ win. This can lead to a situation where a revive is unviable (the only beacons are too deep in the ring to safely use), but this generally would only be lategame. We've also seen some complaints of unpleasant types holding the banner to troll people, but I personally haven't encountered it.
@EA_DavidAhhh so that’s where it goes wrong, ‘got the banner’... spongebob’s 5 minutes later... ‘yea this is taking too long’ ... D/C -> penalty...
Thx for informing@SlivPTS Well I’ve seen some stupid reasons in this game that makes you think twice, so leaving ‘early’ in the situation you mentioned wouldn’t even surprise me...
i.e. being all alone in since beginning, leave the match and still get penalty...

why you want to leave? squad is earning you RP. Longer they will survive less RP you will lose (or you can even earn).
devs don't want players from incomplete squads to leave game immediately. And since you can't lose RP, it's stupid to not try to earn some (hotdrop and try to kill someone)... again, you have nothing to lose.
If you still want to leave = suicide.@SlivPTS If it wasn’t a generalized rhetorical ‘why you wanna leave’; Why you assuming I want to leave? Like I’ve stated multiple times, I dont play ranked and likely won’t play it either. After what I’ve seen what kind of campfest hullabalooza it was last season, I can’t be bothered.
And a possible reasons for wanting to leave when queue’d up alone:
1) Don’t wanna play hitman evolved style
2) Having a full rambo mode style
3) boring alone
4) chances of earning lots of RP is basically out the window
