@shardvel I’ll tell you why from my perspective.
Hundreds of hours of Apex has given me so much insight and awoken the gift: All-knowing. It has been instilled to me by the Allfather. It has shown me the way to act when I’m down.
Since I’m a scientific guy I don’t fully revel in teachings of beings I can’t see so in addition to my gift I lean on science as well. It has shown me that 90%+ of the time that I’m down either 1 or both of my teammates are downed. In the last case at least 1 of us has gold shield obviously. In the event that 1 is down, our chances of survival is less than 50%. This goes down dramatically based on the proximity of the person/people who have knocked us, amount of other squads left, where we’re downed, how skilled the pursuers are and a host of all other variables. Most of all it’s dependent on the 1 teammate that’s left.
Let’s say I’m the first one down in like 2/3 minutes and we’re in the presence of 1) multiple teams with all members still doing the gundance. I already have no faith in a positive outcome so in most cases I leave. 2) If I see in those 3 minutes that my teammates are still looting while I already pinged multiple enemies enclosing I leave. 3) If I see my teammates taking more than 5 secs to 2v1 an enemy in open spot I leave. 4) If they both empty out both guns while 2v1’ing I leave.
But lets say odds are more favorable. 5) I down 1/2 and in need of help and my teammates are looting or showing no signs of helping immediately while enemies are in the distance, I leave. Lastly, to keep it short, if 2 of us are down and I see last guy’s health decline, I leave.
These are most cases I leave in. I don’t always leave instantly but the All-Knowing gift lets me see when I have no use for teammates who can’t play the game like it’s supposed to be played (the irony right :P).
I think most will agree on my points. The times I actually stay are also the times that I trust teammates and we actually succeed. Would this also happen in the times that I leave? Might be... but I’m leaning towards the ‘they won’t’.
