Apex Legends:

Skill gap too wide + matchmaking too indifferent to things like SKILL + new gametype designed to magnify all these problems = quitfest.

Now take that equation and add in quit penalty and you get... wait for it... absolutely no change whatsoever.

Respawn, if you're going to punish people for playing your game then you have to step up to the plate and make the game worth playing. In the case of tdm this means immediate and radical changes to your matchmaking algorithm. Without that the mode is doa.

If it is only one or two players, I kind of prefer it when team mates leave death match. They are, almost without exception, the ones just feeding points to the enemy, and their leaving helps the team. Even four on six is quite winnable - I've seen a single player win games on their own, though obviously it is quite rare.

What we need IMO is the backfill mechanic to be gotten working.
