Hello everyone!
I saw there's a few similar topics but wanted to start my own and see what people think about leavers.
My personal opinion is that leaving a normal game after you drop>die instantly should be punished same way as it is in ranked - 10 minute penalty and - radical, but also bannable, for let's say a day if someone does that all the time. This honestly is the weakest and worst part of Apex - pub games. 1 out of 10 games is fun, and peoplke you meet are really cool, not even good at the game, but with good attitude. which makes you feel like you need to stand up and carry the game if they're not good, because just by attitude they deserve it.
I know it's wake-dreaming here, but whenever people know they won't be able to queue instantly after they leave teammates (especially when they were jump master and landed hot) makes them feel like they should try and help even when they are downed/dead.
TLDR; when someone is resurectable/respawnable, when he leaves the game (actually leaves not gets DC'd) - should result in a penalty declining next game for some time.
Waiting for opinions.

@Shoookkz while yes leaving in casual is a problem because of just how needlessly aggressive casual has gotten getting down is pretty much the same as being dead anyways. On occasion yes one gets good sported teammates but more often then not people are paired with other players who care more about fighting and looting then picking you up from the downed state or just loot your box after you die and don't even try to respawn you.
That said i do agree there needs to be a penalty, maybe not as serious as Ranked's own. Possibly more like a 5 minute wait and maybe any progress made on challenges during the early left match don't count towards the progress.

So you would be totally OK to wait for the enemies to finish you off and for your banner to time out after you get knocked and realize that the premade duo you play with has fled the area and show no intention of helping you? Or if the jump master pings a zone and one of your teammates decides to go to the other side of the map solo?? I think the toxicity and frustration in this game would be unbearable.. I think the only reason why I feel no toxicity or rage what so ever when playing with randoms is because I know I can leave if my teammates are ******.
I think Respawn should promote "good" behavior (like staying in the game) by encouraging it (like honor system with Rewards etc) and not by forcing it with the threat of punishment.

@BabbediboopiYou're now talking about completely different thing buddy. What I said, is that insta-leavers should be punished, when you're playing with a duo you can tell is on dicsord or anywhere else, and you see they won't pick you up, there's no need to wait, but whenever you have a downed teammate, do you intend to leave him be or want to ress him/pick up banner? I, honestly died so many times because I wanted to pick a banner that I can't count, so those are completely different things, but this can't be skipped I guess, penalty for everyone.

Stop match me with beginners not able to get one shot on a target, and i will probably stop leave the round
