Forced teamplay is endemic to a lot od mdern games despite it being about as cancerous as plutonium. Not only do you have people getting angry for not doing exactly what someone else wants them to pick, to go land, to go to, to pick up, to play exactly as...
Adding mechanisms to punish people for leaving and taking themselves out of a game helps nobody. You encourage angry people to stay in games insead of moving onto better ones.
There's no point to respawning anyway unless you care more about winning than playing. When you respawn you don't start with anything. Starting a new game puts anyone in a better position because you're not going up against people with all the tweaked guns yet. Why should anyone stick it out to be a meatshield and distraction?

i know you (and your friend) are decent player which can turn the result, but what if you are downed? it's depressed to watch them fight

If you don't care about winning I don't want you on my team. Maybe you would quit Apex? good, good riddens the game is better off without people like that. The game won't die, and cs:go, pubg are not dead either.
QUITTING IS CHEATING. I've been saying that for years. Just as much as stacking teams is cheating. Exploiting maps and weapons is cheating etc... League of Legends is extremely popular because it encourages competitive matches. Period. It has nothing to do with the fact its a moba. We all know FPS games are more sporting and usually have better graphics., They are simply less popular cause of more unsportsmanlike players in the community and more likely have developers who don't care about competitive matches.
This doesn't mean I don't get just as frustrated at times and that I'm not habitual quitter myself. This game will do that to you. Teamplay is more important in a BR then any other video game mode I've ever played and its very frustrating when your team is not coordinated or equally matched.
But thats why They should only implement a quitting ban, if they actually implement some form of ranked and unranked modes. A ranked mode with team skill matcher for people who care about winning and having competitive matches, and unranked mode for people who just want to "practice" in non competitive matches.
The biggest hurdle to this is not the fact its a br. but the fact people can easily make smurfing tier slumming alt accounts. But then again they can too in LoL and they do alright, so maybe not a big deal. I'm not sure if LoL has some way to deal with smurfers.

And if you care about winning more than having fun then I dont want you on my team, because for me personally, the most fun from this particular game in its current state comes from landing somewhat hot and then going for fights and kills. Winning is for me personally just the icing on the cake but honestly gives me almost zero satisfaction per se.
Luckily, we dont have to play with each other since I only play with premade 3-man squads of like-minded people that Ive met on various open discord channel. And THIS is exactly what makes so many of these threads so stupid. You assume that your subjective way of playing this game is the "correct way" that everyone must follow. Your preference about winning is not more better than mine, and my preference about chasing kills or certain badges is not better than yours.
And I understand it must be frustrating to have teammates leaving early IF you play with the main goal to win, but once again; thats why I only play with premade 3-man squads like-minded people and not with randoms. Playing with random people equals playing with random mindsets/priorities/play-styles so either take it for what it is or find some like-minded gaming friends. Problem solved.

I understand your pain. It happened to me several times. Sometimes I was standing right next to a Respawn Beacon, but they disconnected... Why....
But on the other hand:
1) If someone takes your Respawn banner, they can carry it with them until the end of the game and never revive you. In addition, they will tell you through chat that they will not revive you (it has already happened to me)
2) One of your mates is going to jump somewhere else and the two of you get downed. So you have to wait 2 minutes to disconnect, because you know, your mate can't make it from opposite side of the map.
3) One of your mates is afk the whole time and the other disconnects...
4) Do I have to prove that there are a lot of situations where you'd rather disconnect than continue playing?
And then what? Will you get a penalty for disconnecting from these situations?
I'd like to see this penalty running, but only inside ranked, where are MMR or other points in stake, not when you're playing "pub" with random teammates.

I agree that is not needed.. How many times I got knocked down and watching my ,,teammates,, looting in front of me.. And after they finish or I say like three times: can someone get me [Removed- CM] up, they turn around with that awkward laugh like, oh [Removed- CM], sorry.. I mean cmon guys, you really want to get stuck with some complete * and watch him camping or doing anything.. I respect when someone is new or might start panicking and in those moments I try not to force him, if I force him or something it will be only worse, but when I get in the game where we land and start fighting, two of us get killed, I end up watching last loot goblin for whole minute, cmon, don't you sell me that * that you are waiting too.. I have no problem with leavers, ok, better to know that he is a * then end up in late game with his no teamplays and get tilted.. Even when I finish alone cause both of them leave, still have fun, wait a bit and 3rd party last squads with like 15 arc stars, always fun.. Even when I lose, it's still funny to watch them panicking.. But for sure, I am glad we all can leave when ever we want..

I guess you are just not competitive. Thats why we need a ranked and unranked mode. I almost find it dishonorable though to play any game and not try to win. If you find it boring maybe BR is not for you. You would enjoy a tdm or ffa more.

1. It has already a thread about this
2. Get out with your garbage idea. This penalty would destroy apex. Thanks. Bye.

This is what I was talking about. You argue that the only valid goal in Battle royal games must be to win and everyone who doenst share this view are wrong and should play something else. A game in which the motives to play is forced upon the player wont last. The incentives to play must come naturally from the mechanics of the game, an as of now, in Apex current state, MANY players prioritize fighting/killing above winning
And btw; you are wrong because I am quite competitive but not for winning. Right now, my 3 main competitive goals in this game is to
1) get the 4k damage-badge (I have the 3k already)
2) Get the 20 kills-badge
3) Get the "kill 3 full squads in the same game"-badge
These are my competitive goal in this game and dont you think its at least a little bit arrogant of you to say that "BR is not for me" implying that I am wrong?
But you didnt answer my main point; I said that a simple solution to ALL these threads is to stop playing with randoms and find some like-minded gaming friends. If you are so competitive, why do you insist to play with randoms? I start to think that the reason you play with randoms is because few people want to play with a guy that only cares about winning. I know that I refuse to play with people on my Discord channel who "want to play safe near the edge of the circle". So boring.
