@XHelperZBut this isn't the game for that. If constant shooting and respawning is your thing, play COD.
Doing so might enhance their gameplay, but it screws their squadmate's games. It's a TEAM game, not a solo game. Asking them to chill for 15-30 seconds isn't too much.
ETA: If they want to play like that, there's also the option to not fill the squad in the lobby. There just isn't a valid excuse for it.
Well, the way the game is "intended" might vary per player.
It's not like a playstyle should be enforced, especially if any other playstyle is going to be punished.
However, frequently leaving matches should result in some form of punishment, particularly for Apex as it's a BR game which doesn't have any form of backfill, meaning the impact on the match can be significant.
Personally I feel like those who don't play in a premade kind of consent to the fact that there will be some players that won't be playing as expected.
Now, I'm not saying that anything goes, these issues should of course be resolved.
Though a system to work against these types of players... well, let's just say it might take quite some time to tune it well, as I'm sure there are many players that might be against this change.
You could try to play with a premade squad instead of relying solely on the matchmaker to find teammates. This way, you will be able to avoid any potential issues with other players.
@XHelperZI'm not for enforcing any playstyle. I mix it up. Hot dropping is fine.
Exactly as you mentioned - there's no backfill, so just DC'ing immediately screws your squad and then their experience playing the game. And it's not like there is no alternative - If you want to queue in fast, hot drop in the biggest fire rinse & repeat fine. Queue solo. They're not playing as a team anyways.
I feel the opposite - if you're checking the box to fill Squadmates, you're consenting to play as a squad.
10 minute ban from matches would seriously curtail the practice. Permanent ban number could be higher, a number like 20 is pretty forgiving.
Damn, you're absolutely right.
It's just that when it comes to punishing players, well, let's just say it can go massively wrong.
Well, if this is going to become a thing, I'd say that it's probably better to start with a high treshold and move from there to see after how many matches in a certain time period should result in that
@XHelperZYeah, a ban might be too much.
An idea hit me though, they could increase the penalty by a minute every time you DC right after being knocked without letting the timeout go. Heck even start the penalty off light at 1 minute with the notification telling you why, and that it increases a minute every time you do it.
Slow learners will either get the message it's a squad based game or get really long queue times. 🙂
@reconzeroI play no fill all the time. I never have a 10 minute wait for a queue. The longest it goes is 2 or 3 minutes usually. If you queue with a team and do your own thing the majority of the time while being annoyed I say just no fill.
