This leaver penalty is honestly complete bs. What if you have the stupid server lag, and you don’t want to deal with that so you just quit the game? What if your squad mates are trolling you like stealing all the loot on purpose or something? What if you’re teammate is all the way across the map and you get knocked and you just gotta sit there? And I haven’t tried it yet, but what if someone takes ur main legend at the start of the game? What if you just rage when you get knocked and leave out of habbit, only to get even more mad because of the penalty? You really gonna make us sit through all these matches and waste our valuable gaming time? I have almost 5k kills with bloodhound and this honestly really makes me want to stop playing. I hope this gets fixed soon

Stupidest idea/implementation I've ever seen. Not touching the game until you revert this.

I completely agree. I even just made a similar forum post stating exactly why it is a ridiculous idea to have implemented it.
Listing everything from being a player who doesn't want to endure toxic and vulgar players who shout obscenities down their mics, to leaving a server that is rife with latency issues.
I likely suspect that the explanation as to why a Leaver Penalty has been added is to encourage players to stay in-game for longer. Therefore the developers make it statistically seem that this is a more popular game because more people are spending longer in the game.
However when the player base consists of toxic individuals, FPS novices and people who only want to, or can only spend a short time playing, it's clear that Respawn/ EA don't understand their player base at all.
I also fear that complaining about this new feature will be to no avail.
I recently spoke some EA employees (specifically EA Help members) who handle the troubleshooting and bug reporting for Anthem and they told me that if people make formal complaints about the games (like I was trying to do) it results in "taking valuable time away from the developers". So it's worrisome for some moronic feature like the Leaver Penalty. Sure if enough people complain about it something "might" happen. However when the developers decide to pigeonhole actual issues with their product as mere bug reports, it doesn't bode well for the consumers who experience the issue raised.

I have left matches when dead and teamates alive and got no penalty so are you guys flooding and leaving games? Btw if you leave because someone picked your legend you deserved to get a cool down, you have other teamates who need a 3rd teamate to keep matches balanced
Just confirmed though my google degree that its if you leave 3 matches in a row before a squad wipe or a time out in otherwords you just gotta wait for the timeout before leaving, perfectly reasonable
ty respawn keep it.
