Don't get me wrong i don't mind this idea but the issue we're currently having with apex legends is the lack of player base it's self, i feel like dividing the player base based on a point based system will only lead to a higher Queue time and won't stop your more than occasional toxic player from solo dropping, the idea it'self is understandable but my in my opinion is a correct fix at the moment due to this games stage.
Increasing the Abandonment penalty is just another way of punishing the people that play this game, if you were to increase the penalty while bringing out solo's i would completely agree, but i think it's completely unfair to punish those that just want to play solo's and enjoy the game! by not bringing back solo's and just making the penalty's stricter? It's not a situation were both parties get a win which is the big issue with this game!!
More points for team play is good, but again the issue we're having is players that are good getting teamed with sub pair trash, i rather overall damage or KD to determine what skill i should be vsing, as for rank is a joke it's just who can camp the longest (Which isn't fun at all)
Weapon buffs and nerfs are always going to happen without a doubt my issue is the buffs and nerfs themselves, if the community doesn't like it they should fix it, and not cater for those with no skill it impacts the overall gameplay
What do you mean lack of player base ? I play late night most of the time unless it's on the week ends and it's a stable 255 - 300 ppl in queue on late nights and over 850 ppl during the weekends queueing this doesn't represent the people that are already in game playing.
To say your fix is the right one is absurd. K/d means nothing if your not winning games.
The abandonment penalty has been in the game since launch, respawn took it out because it was causing issue's and needed more tweeks. And has been put back in because respawn has decided it's what's best for their game. Why should anybody get to leave teammates behind to fight team's by themselves and not be penalized ?
How is putting solo's going to fix the match making issue in squads ? If anything it's going to stay the same or get worse like it already has.
Overall Damage and K/D only matchmaking will hurt the game because you'll have team's wiping the non so skilled players. Then those player's will have to play with the toxic player's. Why should anyone have to deal with them, then people will really start leaving the game in flocks.
I don't think my way will be any better. I was just giving feed back on a possibility that respawn can look into to keep it balanced, for the players that been playing for a while now. For all I know Respawn can do it by how many games you've played or win's you have or some other way. Or They just going to leave it how it is.
Respawn has to take everyone's feed back in to consideration and try and come up with what will suit all people playing. Not take just the good player's or the players that spend money and not the "trash players" as you and others are calling them.
At the end of the day this is Respawn envision of Their game Apex Legends. They will see fit with what will and will not be implemented / added in their game. We are just here for the ride.
