How can i permamently mute text chat in APEX Legends?

@GeniusTV Don't think you can, they added the mute function to the character select to sort of be lazy.

@GeniusTV I hope this will be an option because people that are toxic and do that in a middle of a match freezes my game for a few seconds and then they say some of the most stupidest stuff. I had to wait for my game to unfreeze because some guy got mad because I got purple armor and started saying the N word at me. It’s was ridiculous.

@Sylvester9991 yes, i think the best thing is, to ignore people who spread negativity and make the space toxic. We want fun playing the game and improvement comes by time, if someone play consistent and is open-minded. No need to bully other people and project his own frustration and feel of failure to other.
But the issue is, that they know, you read the chat and they keep attacking. The point is, they never see their own mistakes. Even in casual, they take it so serious.

I know that Respawn wants, that the players should communicate, but this doenst work. Respawn should keep it clean as possible, without cheaters and toxic people. On long run, its the quality and not the quantity, which have exponential potential.

At least, respawn should give this kind of people a chat-ban for some time.

I will still press "f" everytime bevore the match beginns, cause i am really done with this toxic people. there is no way to fix that, if you start a dialog.
This guys have a pathological issue and should meet a psychologist.

In League of Legends, its possible to complete mute the text chat. Since than, i somehow play much more relaxed.

Even if you dont react to the toxic chat, it still have an effect on your state of consciousness, if you read it over and over again every day.

@GeniusTV I’m on console so it reads it out for me. But they need to add it soon because it freezes my game most of the time. I was playing and was in a middle of a fight and my game froze and then unfroze to me dead and my teammate saying “You are bad”. I wanted to messaged him so bad saying stuff like he got me killed but, I just let it be. But I hope they add it into the Season 5 update.

I think so, too.
