Obviously Training and Firing Range do not need penaltys but I would like to see Penaltys in ‘’Play Apex’’ and any Limited Time or Permanent Modes added in the Future maybe Less Severe Penaltys compared to leaving on Ranked Mode but significantly enough to stop people from leaving the game in Regular Queue as soon as they die or any other modes available
Why Penalty in Limited Time Modes?
The Answer is Easy to understand if you played ShadowFall Look how many Shadows Left every single match.... It Ruined the Whole Event

I do agree. I mean this is a complex topic in general and I had this happen time and time again. me and another teammate were slaying, then third dies and he leaves cause he couldn't wait for us to finish our fights and be safe even though we made it clear via audio and ping, that we'd go to try and get his banner.
On the other hand, I had games where teammates picked up my banner, after camping and hiding while I try to fight off multiple squads.
But then they either don't res or they do and then I die again. I'd say the latter is more merciful.
Anyway, I would've wanted to leave just like now, I just got a 90 min penalty, cause I actually got upset after getting chased for 5 min straight and my teammates hiding at the edge of the ring with 15 squads left, not even trying to help and I don't think I should've gotten that penalty tbh. Yes I did not wait for them to try and get my banner, but it was kinda obvious to me, that they wouldn't, cause they had plenty of time to join the fight and didn't. Now I can't play for a while and lost a ton of points, because I got matched up with people who seem like they don't even try at all.
Please fix this respawn, anyone should be able to leave after they die or at least let people report behavior for being a bad teammate or something, or make the matchmaking better.
I'm not that high up at all plat 4 at the moment, but I only get matched up with bronze people or mostly, rarely with plat players.
Please find another fix for the penalty issue respawn! At least in ranked, if your teammates abandon you anyway. Even had a guy pick up my banner and wait til the last respawn beacon was outside the zone, so that I couldn't leave. Now we got high place, but unlike most players, I wanna win, win by playing good, not by avoiding fights til there's only one squad left and then make the last shot..
Anyway, hope respawn will find a way to fix this issue soon, it's so annoying with the matchmaking and players who are, clearly not committed at all, maybe just put a lvl 100 cap on ranked, that way new players will have to get better first..

"An LTM that gave out a really nice skin with difficult parameters to complete, in a mode where the Shadows had an overwhelming advantage against uncoordinated players (AKA most of the people who played Shadowfall for the first few days), which caused players who were trying to get said skin to simply move on to the next game when they died, is a perfectly valid and obvious reason as to why we should punish players in LTMs.
I also don't acknowledge that people are trying to grind for Battlepass challenges in LTM / Normal queue, and that newer players who might not have known about said penalty if implemented would be unfairly punished due to leaving a match early. I also don't acknowledge that people sometimes don't have a lot of time to play and simply want to get as many games in as possible, and that said players have no real incentive to stick around if they die due to whatever circumstances that followed."
Doesn't seem like you put a lot of thought into this aside from, "People leaving early ruins my enjoyment of the game! They should be punished!"

This is a hard and complex problem to solve, because if we start insta-punish leavers, we also have to implement "subjective behavior-based" punishments, which makes it so much more complex. Would you be OK to wait for your banner to time out, if the last surviving random jumps on the other side of the map to finish a Challenge?
I think another more effective way to counter the current player behavior in Normal mode, which is terrible, would be if they introduced incentives to voluntary stay, rather than punishing leavers.
A "soft" measure could be that no stats or challenges-progression are saved if you leave prematurely. This would probably not be that effective to counter early-game leavers though.
Or a more drastic measure; what if we simply let each player choose in the settings whether they want to enable leaver punishments, and then team those with it ON with each other and those with it OFF with each other. This would not eradicate leavers, but at least people who are bothered by it wont have to experience it within their team. This might have unwanted consequences for the "randomness" of the match making though, IF there is correlation between skill/ELO and leaving, which I think it is.

I would like some kind of penalty say least, maybe a reduction to the xp a leaver receives for X amount of matches. It doesn't need to be anything too drastic but it's better than nothing. I know the non-ranked is exactly that, so players tend to be more casual about it, but it's not fun being down one or two teammates because one was unhappy about the Legend picks, or another left immediately after dying etc. If I'm queuing up through matchmaking for a team of 3, that's what I expect to get you know.
Playing Fight or Fright was actually a breath of fresh air for a while as you only had to worry about yourself, but yeah no solo mode at the moment so there is no alternative to triple/duo team comps.

i think youre forgetting this is Battle royal..... maybe they should change the whole game to fit youre desire....

It's still a (purposely created) team based Battle Royale though, it isn't a solo free for all so it's not unreasonable to have have a little higher expectation.

So you guys are fine going 1 vs 2 or 1 vs 3 in matches because people can’t wait 30 seconds to get respawned then go ahead im not going to be a apart of it after i finish my battle pass unless its fixed earlier my lifeline was trying to revive my teamate next to caustic trap died and left instantly ._. If this is what you want for a game then have fun to me the only solutions are adding penaltys to all modes or implement a permanent solo event so there are no teamates to abandon you
