It says that leaving ranked matches is penalized (not casual) and that the penalty then applies to any match (leave ranked = can't play any mode (well, I guess training is open), leave casual = no penalty). I don't know how you managed to read there that leaving casual is penalized.

it's not what it's say's though.

It says Regular mode and Ranked.

Last time I checked Ranked wasn't considered Regular mode. I also pulled this off of the APex website if you follow the link you can see for yourself.

It's at the bottom of the page.

Here, I highlighted the relevant parts for ya. Very clearly refers to JUST ranked mode.

"This time we’re starting Ranked Series 2 with leaver penalties enabled. Players who abandon their teammates will be hit with a matchmaking penalty in both Regular and Ranked matches. Penalties will result in a player being barred from joining a match for escalating amounts of time based on how often they have abandoned in Ranked."

The second sentence refers to the EFFECT of the penalty, not the cause. The only way Regular games are affected is through leaving Ranked games. I guess for complete clarity they could have mentioned Ranked in 2nd sentence too (although I never even thought ppl could read that wrong...).

P.S. You may want to refrain from calling others trolls when you're plain out wrong.
