First off, I really enjoy this game. I've played about 2500 matches since the game launched. I play roughly 30-50 matches a day depending on how I'm feeling that day (I have medical reasons to not have a job right now). I play on PS4.
Now, I am not a stranger to randoms leaving my games and I have for the most part accepted it as an unfortunate part of the game that I just have to deal with. Lately, however, I've been noticing that in over half of my games I have a teammate or two leave the match before we even land. This is happening to me constantly, so not only do I have to put up with the regular leavers who leave as soon as they get knocked, now I have to put up with leavers before I even land and in more games than not I am playing solo vs squads because of this. As you can imagine, this really puts me at a disadvantage and really makes it hard for me to enjoy the game. I don't know what to do about leavers, but there has to be some way Respawn can incentivize these people to stay, or perhaps add solos back if I'm going to be playing solo over half of the time regardless.
Again, I love the game when everything is working right. But I am frustrated with it right now. Thank you for reading my post.
