Ancient thread is ancient.
it doesn't need to be fix, if you don't want to get a penalty then dont quit.
Respawn can do what every they like with their game if they don't want you to play because of a penalty that is their decision. its suppose to be punishment. What is the point of an abandonment penalty if you can play the game.
It's fine the way it is it's been like this for over a year now, why change it ?
Dont like it then don't quit. their is already enough player quitting out of pubs anyway no need to hurt the player base because of toxic player like so many on this forum.
I just got hit with one... and the only reason I quit was because I died in ranked and BOTH my teammates had been afk since the beginning of the match.Yeah I guess I should’ve just sat there and watched two people stand around for 10 min
That mindset is trash. Most people I see leaving a game in ranked is when they've already died and they don't want to sit around watching their teammates debating on whether to get his/her banner or not. Sure rage quit is a thing but at the same time you don't want to sit there and watch. It's annoying. I've definitely been a victim of that many times. If the person decides to leave when they've already died they should be allowed to leave without receiving a penalty. Them leaving without giving their teammates a chance to revive them is penalty enough because they're doing it out of their own accord to lose ranked points and on top of that accept that they're losing extra for abandoning. If you're solo queuing in ranked, you don't want to have to sit their and watch your teammates. You just want to play the game. So when you receive that abandonment penalty as a solo, its annoying cause now you can't play anything else that apex has to offer. Especially with arena as a thing now, sometimes you just want a break from the BR and go play a different aspect. You shouldn't be prevented from playing that let alone the shooting range. The shooting range would be the last thing I'd expect to be locked from playing with a penalty.
Sorry but I do not agree. The penalty should be fixed. It’s unfair to try and play rank with randoms and you join with toxic people, or die and someone hides and goes AFK for the rest of the match. You probably like to watch someone just crouched in a corner staying in the rings not dying though. I got a 20min ban for leaving early on accident. I should at least get a warning since it was my first time leaving without timing out. They can keep the penalty, just make it more fair.
There are some bugs though. My opponents teammates quit, leaving them down to 1 player. so my team had 3 vs their 1 player. Close to the end of the match that last player left but my team got 10 min penalty.
Also I don't understand why one gets a penalty for leaving a game where it is 3v2 or 3v1. There is nothing fun about playing such game. Still got a penalty. This is so rubbish. Poor matchmaking = you got to stay and deal with the bug.
OK I understand the point if you don't want an abandoned penaity for up and leaving game but what happens when the game goes off sync and automatically gives it to you and it wasn't your fault your respawn should be able to figure out when somebody technically leaves or if they're game which constantly goes off sync or servers go down why is it fair to people who weren't leaving the game to get penalized also
It does need fixed as far as when I Lag Out but don’t actually quit it gives me an abandonment penalty and it’s 50/50 weather it will try and load me back in after the kick or just give abandonment. You should have to physically exit after the warning it gives you NOT WHEN YOU LAG OUT. It’s frustrating.
