I always get this, all the time.
The thing with Apex is that it promotes aggressive playing. For instance in ranked games, you don't get points for knocking down a player, you get points for completely eliminating them, which if you've got downed team mates, you're not going to bother with reviving them, you're going to chase after that kill, because that's what gets you points. There is no reward system in place for positive behaviour, like rezing team mates and helping them when they get knocked down. There's no function to say "Yes this team mate was helpful in my match" and the fact that there's no function to report verbal abuse over mic is abhorrent. I have had to permanently mute my team mates every time I get into a game because I am a girl the abuse I get is overwhelming, I just want to play the game. And another factor is no ability to report AFK players.
Apex seems fixated on forcing players to go after the kills, reprimanding people who retaliate to aggression in their own teams when they are verbally assaulted in voice chat. There needs to be a karma system in the game. They promote toxic behaviour.
- @Lilly_Beees Yeah, I see what you mean; that's part of why I suggested a kind of karma. It would be even better if it motivated players through ranked points, of course.
As for the mic, that makes me sad because it self-reinforces abusive behaviour. If I can compare it to my local gym, I'm always glad when it's not just (alpha) guys working out - having even just a few girls or elderly people around nudges the atmosphere to a more relaxed state. Unfortunately, it also works vice versa: having the decent people abandon voice chat altogether means it will just become more of a toxic mess.
