Apex Legends players are split on Mixtape playlist\u2019s leave penalty RespawnApex Legends players have started calling on Respawn to reverse the leave penalty change added to the Mixtape playlist, while others want it to stay. Apex Legends first introduced its Mixtape playlist on February 6, 2023, which consists of a rotating list of various LTMs introduced over the history of the battle royale. Unfortunately, the playlist was fraught with players constantly leaving matches, which often left many lopsided teams and an overall unenjoyable experience. As such, developer Respawn swiftly introduced a leave penalty to Mixtape, similar to the one that existed during Control\u2019s LTM period. Now fans are calling for the decision to be changed, as they claim the leave penalty punishes players who are put on teams with unhelpful teammates. However, some think the change is doing more good than harm. Apex Legends players split on Mixtape leave penalty A post on the Apex Legends subreddit gained traction among the community after one player stated their frustration at the steep leave penalty for quitting Mixtape games early. \u201cCan\u2019t Leave, Can\u2019t Play. One teammate who\u2019s XP Farming. One never joined. Can\u2019t leave else banned for 10 minutes. \ud83d\ude42 So much fun,\u201d they titled the post. Naturally, the community was fairly split on the issue, with some siding with the OP\u2019s point of view. \u201cGame modes now have penalties? Man, pubs still don\u2019t have penalties, and people can leave the moment they are knocked, LOL.\u201d Others agreed but noted there need to be changes made to the leave penalty to make it more useful to players. \u201cThis is annoying, but what\u2019s more annoying is not being able to leave when there is massive server lag. Like I can still play if we are missing a teammate, but when I\u2019m getting desyncs and rubber-banding, it\u2019s literally unplayable, and I shouldn\u2019t be forced to stay.\u201d Another fan pointed out that players who\u2019ve already had teammates leave should be able to leave games without a penalty, as they are fighting a losing battle. Still, other players wondered why they had even gotten to a 10-minute ban in the first place, as the first offense begins at two minutes. \u201cThe penalty is 2 min unless you\u2019re leaving several games in a row. Just play it out or leave.\u201d While some Apex fans may be frustrated with Mixtape\u2019s leave penalties, the fact that Respawn hasn\u2019t altered Mixtape\u2019s leave penalty changes in two months could mean it\u2019s unlikely any further tweaks will be made in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
