That's not a thing you can do on many games nowadays. I assume this comment is also related to this thread https://www.theverge.com/2024/10/31/24284644/apex-legends-lo...

There's no concept of "server" or "Change lobby" on Apex or other Battle royales.

You just queue up for a game, which lasts ~20 minutes. As you are in a 3 player team if you disconnect from the game you get a temp ban penalty, since that also degrades other players experience. So there's no disconnecting freely once a game has started. Now imagine you're playing for 10-15 minutes just to die without really having any chance. That gets frustrating, really quickly, since winning is close to the only "reward" you get from playing the game.

It's not like a classic COD or Battlefield game, where you can feely leave or join any game/server. Once you're in you're somewhat committed, and you have no control over where or with whom you're playing against.
