@pastaclownHow can I justify punishing constant leavers? It's easy when you quit the game you ruin the game for your teammates. Lets say you get knocked down and you immediately quit then your teammates win the fight now the game is harder for them. You try to justify it by saying people want to grind challenges what about people who want to do knockdown and revive challenges? So now if they want to do those challenges they have to play rank just so people don't quit every time something happens to them? That's not fair for those people too specially if they hate playing the campy playstyle that rank brings. I feel for them if they can only play for a few hours everyday but that still doesn't justify ruining games to try and get the challenges. The ends doesn't justify the means.

Yeah casual mode works perfectly fine, most of the games one teammate leaves as soon as he gets downed and another consistent number of games you play without teammates from the start(Duos is almost Solos). A very low number of players stay there after they died, more unique than rare lol.

Maybe a timeout penalty is not the solution, but for example a guy that leaves shouldn't gain any xp or points for challenges, just an idea.

@Cro_Pittt Honestly I'd be ok with anything as long as it deters people from repeatedly leaving games. The lack of action gives people the idea that it's okay to repeatedly quit on your teammates.

@DarthValtrex I can definitely see why people don't like it but it's something more of a necessity considering the amount of leavers in casual mode.

@Daze623I only play casual (rarely) because i can leave it whenever im downed and hop into a new game. It really is it's only positive feature (yes, being able to leave with no penalties IS a positive feature for the most casual mode). There's ranked for hardcore experience. The rank mode must have a strict leaver penalty, the casual mode must NOT have any leaver penalty. No need to have all modes the same.
P.S. As some1 who also prefers to play solo, I would like to have a separate solo-only queue ranked mode (meaning every single opponent in the game would also have random teammates), but I understand Apex just doesn't have enough players for an unpopular queue like that.

@BiochemikasCasual and Rank mode have really distinct differences other than the fact you get punished for leaving in rank mode. And being able to repeatedly ruin games by forcing your teammates to 2 v all the moment you go down without any repercussions is not a positive feature.
