Camus decided that life is worth living in the face of absurdity, are there any philosophers who have written arguments with the opposite conclusion?

It doesn't have to be in the context of absurdity necessarily, but I want to hear reasoned arguments for the act of suicide.

This guy did.
He argued that suicide is a viable option, but not ideal. Ideally man will find a way to live in the present moment as if it were his last and be beyond fear and not subject to the "god of pleasure" either.

He didn't know how to do that practically, so he shot himself in the head right after finishing his Phd thesis.

Some argue that existence it self contains to much injustice and suffering that it is amoral and the morally right thing to do is to banish it all togheter. Its actually a archtypal stance to take. Its the rational nihilistic, and it makes people genocidal and Its even quite popular belief.
