What makes you quit a game of Apex ?

@johnmiceterOk.

Case 1:
We fight another team at the edge of ring 2. We kill 2 of 3, the third one runs somewhere. We heal and, as we prepare to leave, I hear that enemy healing somwhere near, I ping and go for the chase. I fight him but unfortunately get dropped. My teammates? They hanged around for a few seconds, trying to hit him, then they just decided to leave. As I got deathboxed, they were moving away, at 300m+ already, with an entire minute of the round still left and absolutely no third party threat in the area. Of course I left!

Case 2:

JM drops at the cage. As we split, he goes away and lands near. We are left in a 2 v 3, my other teammate dies as he kills an enemy, I get knocked as I kill another and do serious damage to the third. Guess what, JM is still around his landing spot, playing with the drone (he was a Crypto). Enemy team revives and heals, a ring flare opens and wipes me off. Where is Crypto now? 400m+ away, but somehow still in the storm, stopped in the open and trying to get me with the drone. He realizes I'm outside his range and decides to come for me, but without healing and completely ignoring the full team that now is right in his path. Of course I left!

Case 3:

We drop at Repulsor with one enemy team near us. I'm lucky enough to get an R99 and down 2 of the enemies within 30 seconds. Third guy downs me, but it's still worth it, as my teammates are near and he's one shot, right? Wrong. One left far, the other one is still near but... watching me fight from the top of another building, with a Triple Take in his hand! As I get finished, he hides, waiting for them to get inside a building and then he leaves the area. Of course I left!

All these in about 2 sessions of gaming...

Well, fundamentally the built in rewards for leaving a game.

Even a 10 minute break has its own rewards. 

When I started playing this game I used to get mad at leavers. Now I realize Respawn encourages and wants you to leave any game you aren't enjoying, and maybe that's why they even let you keep all the accomplishments to your season (kills, materials, full games, whatever) you get to forward your battle pass up to whatever point you quit, including during the first drop. (want a played game achievement?  Play, quit, done)

Leave early and often.  Unless you really believe every second you are a box is worth it.

1) I am usually being matched with people with levels lower than 100, they dive fast down and die. I am left alone against pre-made champion squad of predator+2x20k badges. They in 99% of matches win. Strangely NOONE can actually kill any of them  - I call this "token of immunity".

2) I got one 20k teammate, he dives down fast, dies and disconnects, the other teammate somehow lives, we meet together at some point and die to the pre-made squad. Here the game can also branch to both teammates be dead, in such case I die to last pre-made squad alone.

3) Since this pattern repeats itself for 30-40 matches (!) one after another I just drop solo at the end of the map (teammates drop in first POI and die immediately), I die to the last pre-made squad. "fun"...

4) After many, many such matches I am being put in "bot lobby" where NOONE can actually kill me (not I have "token of immunity"), I win. "fun" ? Not really. As this entire process happens periodically. It looks like I don't actually have any influence on anything.

Lobbies with high level players are always laggy and stuttery, lobbies with low level players are playable and even sometimes enjoyable (wonder why).

Currently I just play Doom Eternal (great music, great sounds, exceptional fighting system, no stutterings, stable fps, etc.).

Mostly in game death alternatively thick headed af random teammates
P.s: almost forgot incomplete squad is a insta quit for me

I only play pubs.

I feel one of the major reasons for quitting is the difference in play-style and skill level.

For example, an apex predator player would be very aggressive and confident in pubs, while lower skilled players would try and play it safe. To the pred, the low skill players would seem way too slow. On the other hand, to the low skilled players the pred would seem over aggressive, reckless.
So, if the pred hit a pre made diamond squad in a pub, he will get pwned, and because he knows what his team mates are capable of (or not capable of should I say), he will quit and move on to the next match.... to the pred this is JUST A PUB!!!!!

So, this goes also at lower levels, aggressive players would not fair well with super passive players and vice versa. Difference in play-style and skill level is the culprit IMO.

A better system, that would take into account skill level may be too punishing in time to queue up. Although it would offer a better quality match.

All in all, there is no reason to whine about people quitting in pubs.

BECAUSE IT IS JUST A PUB! and you can play another one in like what, 5 seconds after you quit? get disconnected? die to your opponent?

@JonasDumac I'll stick around until they are dead most of the time. Now if I've downed 2 people from the enemy squad and my teammates are not trying to down the third, I typically just leave.

Left a match this morning, I downed 5 people on drop at Cap, there was another squad and I had downed 2 from them. Teammates? One said gees he's downed 2 squads already, oh he got 2 more.. While they were looting that stupid loot vault. The third enemy kncoked me, I got thirsted because my teammates were no place near the fighting. They just had to get that magazine or what ever was in the nade vault. They finally came in and finished off the third.. Proceed to take ALL of the loot from ALL of my kills.. I just left at that point, I did not give them the opportunity to spawn me back in. I'm not going to take the scraps from my kills when they did next to nothing. One was walking around with my red armor which got swapped out of my death box. That's going to be a whole lot of no thanks.

When you have someone going beast mode on your squad you spawn them in and let them have first dibs at all the death boxes. The only exception is when they can't loot them because of the storm or something.

I'm not nearly as rigid when I play with friends. When I play with friends I know they can carry their weight and make good use of good loot. So I don't really care, I actually encourage them to loot the death boxes and get looted up before they try and spawn me. There is no guarantee we won't get third partied when they try, we also tend to discuss the loot situation and share/work together. Randoms don't.
