Did I have an unusual experience or is Apex's community the most toxic ever?

First a brief summary of my history with the game for context, I played APEX a little bit on PS4 when it released but i only played 2 or 3 games before i stopped because i knew i was saving ...

@Tswag1435 first time on PC? that's about what ya get when people can freely message you or come into contact with you some way.

I play console and throughout all my time on Apex. I have only ever had 2 enemies message me.

One accusing me of cheating because he couldn't believe I took his whole team out alone and the other was raging because I ended his 8K game with a sniper calling me a camper and loser before getting him banned for calling me a naughty word.

That being said, I do get the occasional teammates who message me but only to say sorry for dying or thank me for saving them. Nothing mean.

Apex overall has a pretty healthy community from what I seen. Like it was said before, there are bad apples here and there but not many. Those bad apples are pretty much a heirloom set to me. Very rare.

Played league for 6 years while in game chat could get toxic never had anyone try to follow me after game and harass me. And more recently been playing Smite with multiple communities in discord and have never had a problem although to be fair i am much better at smite. Mayby it's just a competitive fps thing i don't play to many of those except for class based shooters and i'm guessing the only reason the Overwatch community doesn't behave this way, at least not to the degree where i can play the game for an hour and run into not only a flamer but one who wants to follow me around, is because getting an overwatch account getting banned has actual consequences since the game cost 60$

(PC Player) Personally, i have not been on the Apex Discord, so cant say if this is common for on there. However i have played since launch (700hrs) and have dome countless games with randoms and very few have had a toxic team member.
I think you were just unlucky m8.
keep playing and don't use public discord where anyone can come and find you.
