Does block prevent further matches

I was just enjoying a match of Apex and I ended up running into probably the most toxic player I have ever encountered. For context this person was leading in kills because they were moving around the map really fast. Obviously one could assume he was pretty good. We end up going into a building and our whole squad gets wiped towards the endgame. Keep in mind he has 9 kills whereas I and the other guy have 1 each. During this fight I was the last alive and as soon as he died he couldn't stop trash talking. Some of his comments consisted of "c'mon, you guys are so bad" or "why cant you do anything". This is extremely ironic of this player considering that I lobbied up for a bronze 2 match in ranked, so obviously I'm not gonna be the best player in the world. After I die, I tried to be mature about it by telling him to stop being disrespectful, but then he proceeds to amp up the trash talking even more. He proceeds to say things like "dont tell me that, I already know" as a rebuttal to the comment I made of why I'm not the best player. And throughout all of this I'm being calm and not swearing, but at the end he just spams into his mic "get good", "get better". In general this was a really toxic and disappointing match, and I will probably run into another player like this in the future. It baffles me how often I run into toxic players, but this situation is the worst case scenario. I just want to know if blocking somebody on ps4 prevents me from playing with people like this again. Any response is appreciated, as I just want to ensure that instances like this wont happen again.

  • Blocking 1 toxic player will not prevent another toxic player from getting into your team in the future, I don't think, EA, SONY, Microsoft, can detect such behaviours at the moment. So just mute them and play like it's most of the games anyway.

    I'm really sorry that you had such an incident. But it happen to all of us. Few days back I jumped into casual game just to relax a bit from ranked I was paired with 2 low level randoms. They started to talk in Arabic and they are friends and both of them sounded like a 12-15 yr old at max. As a fellow Arab I was happy to hear Arabic. As we play on European servers it's rare to meet arabs. I didn't say anything it was nice to hear them discuss the game and how they liked it. We landed I started running for loot and pick up everything as everybody do. So one of them cursed a very bad word at me for being faster then him and taking everything. I couldn't take it so I opened the mic and told him can you be respectful as for anything and I will give it to you. They were surprised I understand them and proceeded to curse my mother and sister out of no where and without provoke. Which is very bad in our culture. Of course as a muture person almost 28 yr old I won't get Carried away with such childish acts. So I muted them until 5 mins later both died and left the game.

    So this such stuff happens, such raise above the hate. Skilled player or bad player no one have the right to criticise anybody gameplay. Toxic people will always be their. But we have to be better than them.

  • @Zeues-1992 Thank you for the advice, much appreciated. I couldn't avoid this guys toxic behavior cause he only used voice chat right at the end. In the future I will be using the mute squad button more often.

    You are welcome bro keep up the high spirit. 

  • blocking a player does absoultly nothing.... I blocked a cheater today.... left the game... and got instantly paired with them again... left the lobby and got abandon penelty. * game. 

  • I was hoping to find this out now too, I ended up reporting the guy that was being toxic to me just now, I didn't know he found a friendly enemy, the guy could have just turned on his mic & say I found a friendly enemy don't kill him, but instead he starts being toxic & telling me to off myself, that no one loves me, I'm not about to listen to him, but I'm pissed at him saying this, you know how rare it is to find a friendly enemy now in any game how was I meant to know, I just saw them fighting/punching from a distance, so I went to save my teammate.

    Edit: I reported him for at least 3 things, about 5 or 6 times all together, I don't know if anything will come of it, just hope it won't get me in trouble somehow.

  • @Neekotheswabbie people in this game can be so toxic. It's sad nothing can be done about them.
    Been playing ranked arenas and was having a pretty good run. Was teaming with a bunch of randoms. Won most matches and before the game I'm about to mention, I'd only lost once. (Today).

    For pretty much all the games my damage was well along side my teammates. If my teammates did 300-500 damage mine would be roughly somewhere in between or slightly under, and either tying for kills or at least having a decent amount of assist.(I use alternator alot so my damage is generally slightly lower)
    The game with the toxic player I encounted went very poorly. My teammates hardly pinged out enemies, didn't bother going for materials, and from the very start they rushed in, getting themselves killed. However they managed at least 600 dmg apiece.
    I was trying to be more strategic with my placement (but unfortunately never had a good angle) and would try to assist whichever one started taking the most damage, but because they decided to go completely opposite directions, I hardly every had the time to get to one before they got knocked and generally just got the * kicked out of me by the time I got there. I only managed a little over a 100 damage that game.
    Even trying to stick with one or the other didn't go well because they'd either leave while I was attempting to shoot someone, or I'd just get beamed.
    Neither of my teammates ever said a word until the very end when one of them decided to call me trash and curse me out for my low damage, and anything I'd try to say he just talked over. Dude loved hearing himself *.
    It's laughable. Because if I'm so bad, why did all my other games go so well? Even more so when the game I had immediately after we kicked * and I had over 1k in damage.
    Obviously the other team was very much better than me and my team. That shouldn't warrent another player cursing someone out when they lose.
    I can't account for players who want to play a team based game but act like a one soldier army.
    My aim could be better, my placement could be better, my strategies could be better, but I can't make up for a team that has no interest in playing like a team, especially against a team of very clearly more experienced players with better communication.
    Sadly even reporting these people doesn't seem to do anything.
