Re: Apex legends abandon penalty

It goes both ways. I was in a game yesterday where the third teammate in our squad would not fight anyone. After the 2 of us were down, he got our banners, then went into a building a hid. He would not even attempt to respawn or engage the enemy. Then when the circle closed, he would find another house on the edge, and get in and hide. Not moving until the circle closed. Repeat for whole match until the circle was small enough that someone saw him and a squad killed him. You should not be penalized for leaving a match like that early. He was clearly just trolling us.

I agree with a previous poster that once you die, not are downed but actually die, you should be able to leave after say 2 minutes with no penalty. Regardless of if your teammate has your banner or not.

  • Yeah I think that's the only fair way to do it. I've noticed less people leaving which is awesome. But I also don't want a hostile community by making them watch a camping teammate. Put a limit on it even if your teammate has your banner. Problem solved.

  • Agreed. Just played a game where me and one squad mate got into a fight and got eliminated. The third guy just took off and ran away without hesitation. So I left. Now I’m kicked for 5 minutes because I didn’t wanna spectate a guy while he ran the other way. I’ll always stick around if the rest of the squad is at least making a small effort to reengage. But when someone runs the second bullets start flying, you shouldn’t have to watch.

  • i know that feel.

    some people just do nothing except hiding and making you wait.
    either way you are f*cked - you either watch and wait or you leave and wait.

    (due to the penalty)

  • Same thing happened with me too dude. The third member of our squad was a pathfinder. When the two of us died. He didn't even try to get our banners. He just used his grapple to get atop a ledge in a building and just camped there. Then when i left the match I was punished for leaving with a fkn 6 hour ban. 😞

  • I had a * "ALGS_Referee_808" guy in a ranked lobby yesterday and he went AFK to eat during our first fight and refused to play and than continued to talk * about randoms.

    I've had alot of decent randoms and I honestly can't stand that kind of player.
