Non-ranked Game Abandonment Penalties..why not?

Every third game, a player goes down, and then leaves instantly.  We need a mechanism to deter that type of behavior.  Its really cancer to this game.  

Ideas to deter:

-     Remove any XP gain or advancement

-     Remove Battle Pass progress for that match

-     Subtract Battle Pass XP

-     Subtract Crafting materials at a low level.  - 5 or - 10 Crafting Metals every game abandonment

    @BaldWraithSimp there's nothing wrong with it inherently IF there was a solos mode. You're free to enjoy the game however you want, but if you're high and you can't play it's inconsiderate to your teammates IF they're playing seriously. If not then it's not hurting anyone.

    @pastaclown I stick with my team no matter if I am high or not and play the same way(even better) when I am normal. I take it that you have come across some toxic/stupid drunk/high people.

    @BaldWraithSimp oh believe me, I've come across a TON of really unsavory characters. As I said before, solos would allow me to skip all that nonsense.

    Many time the game is messed up it slows down when u picked the gun first u know enemy has it and now u dont have any gun and run away and so enemy kills u

    Next is team mates some are slow and some are fast

    Many team mates only think for them self damage higher level player are rubbish attitude

    @Vytasa That's cuz its pubs. If you want to play with squads that stick around, go play ranked. Or at least check the LFG groups/make a full pre-made squad instead of solo queuing. Pubs are pubs. Thats why there's no penalty. Although, I do agree with at least the no XP for that match idea.

    100% YES to penaltys in normal mode!

    You have this in many games (Mechwarrior online, World of Tanks, World of Warships....).

    It's normal and important, especially in a 3 man squad....

    This is a trash idea for those stuck with random squads, its bad enough hanging around in ranked for the guy that ran away to NOT bother even trying to get your banner.

    always that sinking feeling when they pick wraith pathfinder or octane, you KNOW they are gonna get in a fight that you are obliged to help them out of only for the n00btards to ghost away and leave you with your pants down.

    Its all very well if you have a large friend base to squad up with, you are all on the same wave length but random squads are toxic af and unfortunately not many of my friends play APex anymore.

    I would say conservatively my banner isnt recovered 75% of the time and 50% of that they were EASILY recoverable and you think IM the guy that should be punished..........

    What you are suggesting punishes the frustrated players that get boned by a crap squad and allows the n00bs to flourish even further.

    If you punished the last player for not recovering banners then i would aagree with you but what you are suggesting only deals with half the problem.
