Yeah the definatley need a game mode like fortnite team rumble or something like that. It would be nice though I'm not sure how that would go with picking the legends.
I don't know what kind of people you have been playing with but i have so far never been cursed out for picking a legend someone else wanted. Though the background sounds and other things are an issue, you don't necessarily need a mic to communicate. The ping function, if used properly not just to spam things, is quite handy for most things you'd need to communicate in the game. Won most of my small amount of wins not ever having to say a word to the other players, just pinging here and there.
As for the hot dropping, if you're going in with a squad that isn't prepared for it, and you can see they're not by their stats, or if you jump away from your squad to hot drop by yourself, you're already at a disadvantage. I've seen players take less experienced squads into these situations, fail, and then they get mad at the other players because it didn't work out, when it wasn't exactly their fault. They stuck together as a squad as they should have, but they weren't ready for it, which is something the jumpmaster needs to think about when getting ready to launch, but they don't because they want the most kills or they believe they can take everyone out on their own and that isn't the case.
It isn't just BR that suffers from the lack of comraudery. Arena's takes a big hit from it as well. People are always 'disconnecting' or leaving the game early because they have an issue with the squad they got paired with. I've watched streamers that will leave their squad to try and pull off a flank play get angry because their squad wasn't strong enough to hold the area long enough for them to pull it off, and then try to do the same crap over again, knowing it won't work. They'd get downed on the opposite side of the map trying to flank and then wonder why their teammates aren't there to help them, when they're already busy taking the brunt of the attack. The toxicity is atrocious, they sit there calling their squad mates trash and other names and putting all the blame on them, when they are as much to blame.
Harassment and abandonig the game are easy enough to report, but what is the punishment? A slap on the wrist and ten minutes penalty? Just so they can hop back on and do it again and again? What about the people that are basically game throwing?
Having a solo or a unlimited respawning mode doesn't automatically take these people out of normal br matches. Some people are very much just trolls like that, but what's to stop them?
How about a way to actually prove when someone is doing these things? That was the people who have game crashes, or connection issues don't get in trouble? How about a way to actually rejoin a game when we do get disconnected? Because it isn't exactly fair to get penalized for Apex's crappy servers.
