Re: Abandon Penalty Cooldown/Reset

@AWOL_312  Be realistic. We all know that will never happen. The only time humans would ban together is when there is a threat greater than ourselves. And since there is none, it's a free for all. Hence why people don't like working together.

🤦🏻‍♂️ I sadly have to agree 😂

Jokes apart, i was actually thinking we were going to get a reset every week (when the new week of challenges kicks in) but this is not the case! 

The most popular MOBAs have this function implemented aswell and they are doing just fine, i don’t see any problem in punishing instaleavers that don’t even wait to be revived after they’re first downed.

The REAL issue is the type of people that play this game, i don’t want to be rude, many of these migrated from Fortnite and i saw what majority of people play that game. I don’t even want to bring up karma to these leavers because they don’t care if someone else leaves them either. I am aware there are people that also make you wait and don’t pick up your banner to respawn you, but to be frank the LEAVERS far outweigh in numbers, so the penalty should be even harsher in my opinion. 

One good thing that Respawn could actually do is apply a penalty to the squad aswell if they don’t pick up the banner while it is still in the circle and there are no squads around in a relative distance. This would even it out but as i said, it happens far more often that people leave, rather than we not picking up his banner and respawn him or my banner not getting picked up and being respawned. We will not be able to fully and properly enjoy the game until people will learn to be responsible and actually learn to be better at the game by trying to play together, not land, get killed, get triggered and leave, because most of the time it’s your fault for hot dropping and getting killed!

I am looking forward to having penalty applied to non-Ranked games aswell!

Anyway, Respawn is not to be spared of criticism, in absolutely no way, because i will not play RANKED until they fix the 9700K related hangs and freezes and server related issues!

I feel like in the last couple of months the game is getting much more content, but at the cost of severely damaging gameplay experience with all the bugs and issues, also by poorly controlling the META in the game.

@MotherPhoker  Penalizing people not picking up banners would hash a new set of issues. Yes it sucks when people purposely walk over ones disheveled corpse. But there are times(most)when a heavy firefight is occurring and nothing can be done. May the team be pressed by a third party or trying to outrun the circle under limited health. This would seem like a poor idea for such a thing to be implemented.

@ColdHours Yes i agree, wanted to mention that such system is not really needed, but seems like i forgot to put it between the rest of the lines. In 2 weeks time my banner being left behind only happened ONCE, but i have leavers in over half of my games, so yeah.

@Vox_Tempus 

There is no need for a reset.

If you don't want to get penalized stop leaving the game, End of discussion. Why would there be a reset of any kind except if it's a new season ?

So you can keep on leaving again and again after each reset. instead of playing as a team or waiting your 2 min to be grayed out. Its a team based game start playing as a team and stop worrying about a penalty reset.

@MotherPhoker 

I agree with, @ColdHours . 

Each game is different and you can't clump everyone in the same scenario because there is a lot of factors at play. In ring 1 and 2 you can make those semi long distance ring's [unless it's too Far / long of a ring 2].

Ring 3 it's all about who is your legends at that point, Do you have a Pathfinder, Wraith or Octane on your team with at least two or three Altimate Accellerant's and is already popping their Alt to grab the banner as your making a dash [or respawn beacon if Octane is going] for the banner

[Assumming your on the same page, I've done this with a mic and with out a mic].

while hitting their tactical to get away from the ring while healing thier Altimate Accelerant to put down another Zipline, Jumppad or Tunnel.

Apex is about playing Offense and Defense and being aware of your surrounding. Not landing getting weapon's and try and go on a killing spree or sitting back looting everything. Apex legends is much more than that. 

If you don't have a Pathfinder, Octane or a wraith you'll never be able to recover the banner and get out of Ring 3 Alive [9 time out of 10 ring 3 or 4 is too far]. So their is no point, then innocent player's will be charged with a Penalty that they won't deserve.

like many have stated if respawn can add a respawn beacon timer to the game great. If they can't leave the penalty the way it is with no reset until the next season take's off.

Or a serious Bug hit's that plague's the game and your constantly getting D/C issues from the majority of the community via bug report.

I think this is a far too cut and dry argument. Some people play THOUSANDS of games a season. Many of which they do with randoms, and SOMETIMES those randoms are either cowardly to the point of ridiculousness or willfully antagonistic. If someone leaves one game for every hundred there should be no reason for them to be banned from the game for hours. You’re looking at this like leavers take away from the game and in some instances they do, but you’re lumping in people who -can’t- contribute at all anymore. Their presence is entirely unnecessary. You wouldn’t punish a football star for leaving the game after shattering a knee. Same thing. 

i really like that there is a penalty. it helped to make the matches with randoms better.

but since its stacking after every leave, you could stack a pretty big penalty time.. whats with people who have work where they sometimes have to stop playing immediately or when there is an emergency? i had to abort a match twice where i could not play a game to end, and one time i ragequitted (1 jumped solo, died instantly and timer run out, second one got a vault key, i pinged, ran and waited at the vault when he took a jumptower to a totally different direction (without pinging), and died too.

yes i could have avoided the last one but not the other times. so everyone who does have reallife cant really play ranked because they will eventually stack up 1week penalty in.. lets say a year?

there has to be a reset or maybe for every day 1minute less penalty the next time you leave.

I understand ranked play is supposed to be competitive but i think the seriousness is laughable.. Not every game left is one quit. Some people dont lock themselves in a room, closing them everyone off.. Personally my roommates will distract me or a salesman etc. Most often its the * servers.. And now im penalized half an hour for taking no ill course of action

Reset will not help you get rid of bad habit.
Always increasing penalty can...

How the * am i supposed to play with some other guys which they are spamming ping doing 20 dmg asking for * help , making you to go crazy... i was like 14 kills more then 3k dmg and the guy who died with 20 dmg was spamming like forever the * ping and writing that i am a noob cause i am not helping him , going with no Armour between 5 players trying to be more GOD then Nrg_Aceu to help him... * i will always leave that kind of games ....i dont give a * if i am going to be judge ... but this game is literally full of idiots spamming ... and you can't mute the squad all the time as like for 2 games out of 10 you get some decent players to talk ...  i hope they will remove this penalty * or add a * solo gaming as this trio is *

I think the penalized should at least be able to screw around in the Firing Range when they're barred from the other modes.

well, it's kinda * when my wifi decides to go out on match point, and I caan't get back into the game in time, giving me a loss and aa penalty even though we would've won.

dude use ur brain (no offense). But if my valorant crashes and I can't fricking rejoin what the hell am I supposed to do than.

Welp - I found an exception:  When my internet just crapped out on launch, and when it came back I was waiting a few more minutes of penalty.  I only did it by accident once before (5 mins), and this time must have been 10 mins I guess?  Anywho-ski
