Re: If you're leaving 3 matches in 5 mins, let's face it

@DankToliet Sometimes you just want to jet in pubs, it's a bad match/team/landing.

Now, to your point of habitual, yeah, then I could see it. Like, ok, you left the last 3 matches early in a row, if you leave this 4th one, take a 10 minute time out. That I could see. Every match you finish out resets that 3 count.

Might at least cut down on the Hot-drop Harrys in pubs.

But I'm also not against a 5 minute penalty. I also feel differently, slightly, between Ranked matches and everything else. I even believe you should come and go as you like in Ranked matches, but it makes sense for a heavier penalty in those matches.
IF Apex were a better game, then I'd agree with the penalties more. But it's not, and Respawn won't fix it where it matters. So until they do, I can't really stand behind a heavy leaver penalty because, frankly, the game isn't good enough with its system to justify putting up with its frustrations when they happen.

@KelRiever I halfway agree but I just can't leave like that unless the game is absolute 💩. I try to salvage every crappy game. So if that means leaving behind crappy/toxic teammates & playing solo & camping to top 3, so be it.

This new Ranked system rewards team play but doesn't really
encourage it if that makes sense.

As for pubs I've made the suggestion of none of your stats count if you leave early. No XP, kills, nada.

No thanks. Fix hot-dropping and I wouldn't have to leave (as much).
