Reporting toxic teammates: does it make a difference?

Why are the high rank teammates always the most toxic ones? Of all the master/pred teammates I had during the last two years, there have only been a few that weren’t toxic towards me, and only one of...

Dont think anything you report other than "vulgar harassments" (like the c-word etc) or "hate speech harassment" (n-word, f-word that rhymes with maggot etc)  has any affect what so ever. But the detection algorithm for those two categories is super sensitive, especially "hate speech" which probably will get them permabanned without warning. 

But just a comment on the toxicity from "masters". I really try to not be toxic and I usually only say or write something if THEY say something first. Instead I just leave the game but never before I am executed, which ofc also is a bit toxic. But to their "defense" it really can start to get to you when you, for the 10th game in a row, get randoms who literally do NOTHING in fights and also acts like a * (from your pov that is).

@Balladalidila Of course I did a lot less damage compared to my teammates, they both did over 2k and I did only 700 dmg. I did have 3 revives given and the funny thing is that they would not have won the game without me.
The problem is that they can do and say anything they want without any form of repercussions. If an experienced, high ranked player can do this so many times, is there really any form of punishment? I'm really considering just leaving before the dropship if I see a master/pred on my team because 95% of the time they're going to get toxic.

@papahandsoap I did record the last 5 minutes of my game. Most of it seems to be in russian (or some slavic language) but the last sentences are in english with some really distinct words. He also goes haywire when I kill someone and keeps punching me until the end... It's not like he was going for 20kills or 4k damage.

    I can only speak for myself but my "rage" or rather frustration doesnt really come from teammates doing less damage but rather how they play. The worst thing I know is fights when you literally is 1v3ing, knocking two enemies and cracks the third before getting knocked and when you think the last enemy is gonna be a piece of cake for your randoms, who you know should be full health since you tanked all three enemies just seconds ago, you realize that they are standing in some corner, trying to execute the two guys you knocked to get all the loot instead of helping in the fight =) 


    Here are just two examples of two clueless randoms that just happened in my games this morning (no naming and shaming; everything censored) ,and my point is that when things like this have happened 10 games in a row, you can get a bit frustrated and maybe show less composure and understand the 11th game, thats all =)

    First video:

    The video starts right after me and a random Loba just knocked one enemy and cracked the second but she got knocked and I lost almost all health . I jump down to res the Loba. Up to this point have our Bangalore literally done NOTHING in the fight. So instead of trying to find the third enemy to keep him off us, what he does when I goes for the res with 10 hp is to start run in the other direction (watch the minimap) . He even drops an airstrike between us and himself as he runs! No pings or anything, he just runs away. I am playing Seer and have no movement abilities so if I had tried to follow, I would have been slowed and blinded by the airstrike and probably killed. So I continue the fight knocking one more then backs off immediately because I think that this Bangalore and Loba have had time to get back into the fight so we could 1v3 the last remaining enemy . But what do I see when I look at the minimap? They are STILL camping in houses they fled to. 


    But this is not what got my frustrated. After the Pathfinder knocks me, this Bangalore sighs loudly in the coms...I just wonder;  how the hell can you sigh when you do nothing to help and just runs away? Why even play this game if you dont want to fight when a fight breaks out? And ask you can see after we all got killed; Bangalore 44 dmg.

    Second video

    First of all; I dont say I played this situation that well. My biggest mistake was that I missed the camping Octane and pushed to far. But anyway: The video starts after Ive done 88 damage to the first enemy. Our random Loba jumps after him and kills him as I pushes towards the remaining squad. Notice that I, just like the first video, always is up in the front, soaking attention and damage. But then I do the mistake I mentioned earlier and have to jump down since two guys are shooting at me at the same time. But when I do this, our noob Caustic gets one-clipped as soon as I  am not there up in front to tank everything. And he starts to rage at me going "so bad", "u hit anything?" followed by "useless".

    But here is the thing; when we die, its revealed he has only done 60 damage and still has the nerve to criticize. I mean I did more damage on the first enemy that we killed that he did during this entire fight.  What goes in someone's mind when they think it was my fault that he died when he cant even do 100 dmg as soon as he has to tank some enemy fire?
