HELP! I keep accidentally abandoning ranked matches

Its pretty simple, just chill out, as I don't see any accidents in your descriptions, Your habitual behavior is creating the problem, you should work on changing that.

Let me start by saying I have never once intentionally abandoned A ranked match and I like the idea of a leaver penalty for doing so.

I will however abandon matches in the regular server when random teammates do things to throw a match, like solo jumping to the opposite side of the map, quitting before the match really starts, etc. 

The problem i'm having is that sometimes I will be in a ranked match and forget. today I got a penalty because I thought the entire team was dead but it turned out one of our teammates had a golden knockdown shield. This is probably the fifth time I have accidentally abandoned a ranked match, so the penalty is steep. 

It would be extremely helpful if the developers would make the button sequence for backing out of A ranked match different from that of a standard match. I realize there is a warning but I hit the buttons so fast that I don't really even see it. How about a second "Are you sure you want to abandon this match?" Prompt. This would make the sequence of buttons  different from that of backing out of a regular match and give a player the opportunity to realize what they're doing.

This is why we need Abandon penalty in ranked and casual modes. These people admit that they're ruining the game for others

I'm sure they do. 

We don't need a "new Button " sequence, people should just stop leaving their game's thinking that they are better then they really are.

This will be a waste of time and effort people will still leave and say we need a better implamentation of the leaving penalty.

How about you just stop leaving, is it that hard of a concept ?

@RevenanT-G7  Why attack somebody for being candid about leaving and the reasons why they do it?

If your team mates blitz any chance of success before you even get going...why should you stay?

If he said i leave because i'm better than all

my trash team mates, because they do don't let me have all the best loot or because i get knocked down and they ignore my continuous enemy spamming until i get the revive, then i would understand.

Calm your beans bruddah. 😉

@bionicliquid  Onto the OP, as stated your issue is definitely habitual, just follow the advice given. :D

I wan't attacking I was just looking at it from another point of view that is all. He also said he leave's when people leave the game from the select screen so he still abandons people that are still in game right ? I'm not the one saying it the op is.

Abandon penaty needs to make its way in causual mode too, tons of people leave.

So according to you I'm suppose to believe someone on a forum that they don't leave willingly in Apex legends. Even though he admited that he does.

ok.

What ever you say Chief.

@RevenanT-G7  "He also said he leave's when people leave the game from the select screen so he still abandons people that are still in game right ? I'm not the one saying it the op is"

That's purely conjecture though isn't it? He said if people leave, rather than specifically "a person" maybe question the OP before just assuming?

If my entire squads leaves i do the same, a team based game without a team is just a crappy handicap that more often than not leads to an unsatisfying match.

I am wondering whether the UI/ UX of this game is actually following an established rulebook or not. Every time a player is about to spend real money, do an action that could lead to a penalty or alter settings in an irreversible way, there should be an extra warning / confirmation window, containing enough info to make things very clear, ruling out accidents. Also, last match' squad stats and death recap should remain available after disconnecting from the match. It happens to me sometimes to want to report an issue / someone or but to disconnect too early, by habit, losing the information for good.
