Players will be warned via the menus if their leaving may trigger abandon penalties if the warning does not show up, players are free to leave, subject to the server's calculation.
If the player does not have a full team (either due to teammates disconnect/abandoning or failure to fill by matchmaking), player must wait until they are in the dropship before they can leave. If one or both teammates go AFK, or seen partially disconnect (that is to say, their name banner still shows in HUD), leaving is considered as abandoning and results in a penalty. If their banners do get picked up, players must wait 2 minutes and 30 seconds before they can leave without penalties.ĭisconnecting due to server issues or client end will also result in penalties if the player fails to reconnect within 2 minutes. Even after a player is being eliminated, players will still receive penalties if they leave while their banners are still available to be picked up.
This starts from match is being connected, all the way up to the entire team being eliminated. Prematurely leaving matches results in an abandon penalty. Tiers reset after each split and the player's final ranked rewards are determined by the highest rank reached on either split. Starting in Season 4, Ranked Seasons are divided into "splits". A set amount of RP is also deducted for each tier after Bronze. In Ranked, players are matched with players of the same or similar tier with placement, kills, and assists giving away RP which is used to measure progress to the next tier. Ranked matches play the same as the normal Play Apex with the only difference being the matchmaking and the awarding of Ranked Points (RP) after every match. At the end of a season, players receive a reward based on their rank. The Ranked Leagues seasons coincide with the main seasons. It differs from the normal Play Apex game mode in that players are matched with other players of the same or adjacent tier.
Ranked Leagues is a game mode introduced in Season 2.
