Ancient thread is ancient.
Even worse is when game disconnects you for no reason whatsoever and still gives the penalty. Fun game for sure, but complete waste of time and effort if this happens constantly.
If we didn't have an abandon penalty then people would constantly be leaving matches for no reason.
"Why should I have to wait for my timer to go out before leaving? Even when my teammates have no chance of getting me?" I don't know, maybe so it can show on record that you couldn't be brought back?
"Why does it have to carry over to other game modes?" Because it wouldn't be much of a punishment, and considering people still leave games for stupid toxic reasons, it really isn't enough.
"Why the firing range?" While it doesn't make much sense, I can still see at least one reason. You can invite teammates into the firing range for practice or sparring, and still have fun with that, which would pretty much not be a punishment.
"But my teammates are weak little noobs, we don't stand a chance anyway or they're not good enough to play with me." This is very toxic reasoning. Apex is a game, meant to be enjoyed and to have fun. Stop trying so damn hard and just enjoy it for a change.
The people who complain about the penalty are usually the ones who end up leaving matches. Save for the few that get disconnected and punished for it-that one isn't fair and aside from not wanting to play with toxic players there isn't really any good reason to leave.
Even with the penalty people still find a way to off themselves or quickly get their team killed so they don't have to deal with it.
It's downright frustrating for the people who actually want to enjoy Apex, but can't because they don't get to play the match to the full extent when they get left at a disadvantage when their teammates leave or are just toxic little turds.
Another EA lover who don't get the game when playing randoms your a pro so most likely have a squad everytime, I leave when I am placed with people who run I can down 2 then my teammates just run, if ea pulled there finger out there butthole and start working through the reports of peeps sabotaging the game then less would leave. Today for example 1 guy refused to get a body shield n then went opposite side to us 2 eveytime n guess what he died first we got his banner and he did the exact same, also in game I shouldnt have to listen to the N word constantly..EA again won't do anything to thses players.
I'll happily wait 10 mins when faced with toxic teammates..I don't mind playing with people who cam do much as long as they stick together. Apex will fall behind the finals soon as apex player base is now more toxic that cod.
But I think if you leave the game you shouldn't be penalised if you can prove why you left.
How can you have fun with idiots and racists? I bet your white so you don't get it and don't say mute them I'd rather leave them play with these scim
