Respawn will ban players who are bad teammates in Apex Legends

Apex Legends is currently one of the biggest royal battle games of its kind and many players want to evolve their accounts in the game as quickly as possible, the "survival time" yielding experience points, which means that the more you stay alive in the game the more XP you earn.

Respawn Entertainment announced in an article published by Reddit on May 10 that it would begin issuing permanent bans after some players resorted to unfair tactics such as "layering" to haul themselves faster in Apex Legends.

What is piggybacking in Apex Legends?

Piggy-backing is a term used when a player joins a party and makes no effort to participate. It allows other players on their team to place them in a good ranking to gain more experience and move up to the next level.

Respawn announced that after investigating the number of matches affected by this behavior, they "would begin to institute [temporary] prohibitions for players who adopt a piggyback behavior "and even stated that" extreme cases could lead to a permanent ban ".

In the post of Reddit, Respawn also revealed its intention to adjust the recording of hits on certain characters, as well as audio issues and Apex Legends that crashed on the PS4.

Respawn also confirmed that this new rule change does not come into effect immediately, but it is likely that we will see it soon applied to reduce the number of players having bad experiences with their teammates in play.

Many people will welcome this new change, as their teammates who are not part of the team or who do not contribute to the team have been one of the biggest problems faced by fans. during their experiences on Apex Legends.

However, it is also feared that players will be penalized for being accidentally AFK. Respawn's monitoring system is therefore robust enough to filter the accidental piggybackers of deliberate deleterious players.
