Apex legends abandon penalty

Another thing to think about/something that needs to get fixed possibly. In ranked, I've played games where we got to the top 3 and 2 people on our team has died (including me) so  I was spectating the last person who eventually gets knocked. While the the enemies were finishing their last shot to kill them, I basically knew the game was already over so I quickly left. the prompt came up that I could still be respawned - it said this assumably because they had a lvl 4 knockdown shield - but died about 2 seconds later. So I end up getting an abandonment penalty even though I left 2 seconds or less before the game was over... Pretty harsh. This has happened 3 times.
