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...

@Solim66 The game system is not created on the principle - strong against weak. But they could alleviate the suffering of weak players by bringing them into the lobby for weaker players or to put some level limits like level 1 - 20 , 20-70,70-270, 270-500. It is perfectly normal when you are a strong player (you play the game every day, you have reached master/predator every season) not to want to carry the weak ones. The game is based on the principle - the more you play, the better you become, unless you play just to kill your time and you don't care. If you intend to have fun and not care about the game at all - there is one option - NO FILL SQUAD. The game has become either you follow the strongest in the team or he plays alone and you are disappointed with the game. Don't blame the players for their bad behavior, they are probably stronger than you, they know how to play (when to wait, when to attack, they are not idiots). I am a solo player (ps4) and I support all solo players and their behavior. One free tip - find the game you're good at and play it, or find the activity you're good at and don't play games.

    " If you intend to have fun and not care about the game at all - there is one option - NO FILL SQUAD." That's so messed up that you think if I want to have fun in Apex Legends I have to not have two other teammates and be at a disadvantage to more than 70% of the lobby. I don't want to follow anybody no one should tell me how to play a multiplayer game, and it's really sad that you think that's the only option to play this game. The stick to what you're good at message is along the lines of an awful mindset as well, if everybody just stuck to what they were good at everybody would sit in a chair doing nothing because it's very easy to be good at doing nothing, nothing would get accomplished, nothing would be done.

      @Theta101 Don't get me wrong. Good players never going to listen or follow bots. No offense, dude, but when someone who plays every day is put on a team with someone who plays once per week, it's disastrous. I'm not telling you to follow the good player but the only way to avoid aggressive alpha players is to play alone. The alpha player is easily recognizable - 4k damage, 20kills badge, master or predator trail. A very, very small percentage of these players will be good to you, but most of them play to win and kill, not to carry the weak players on their backs. As one streamer used to say - if you play the game every day but don't make any progress - go back to the cs 🙂

        @DaBabyDa If the "aggressive alpha players" think that random teammates are dead weight, then why aren't THEY playing solo? You're suggesting that weaker players should play solo so they don't bother the alpha players, which absolutely doesn't make sense to me. If they are so alpha and sweaty, let them sweat alone instead of being toxic to teammates. Taking all the loot, pushing solo between two fighting teams, getting knocked and then the mic goes on just to throw some insults at me or wishing that my relatives die a horrible death. Very classy stuff. If this type of behaviour is common amongst the top tier players, no wonder people think gaming communities are toxic.

      @Theta101 In the first seasons, the strong players treated the weak ones well, but it is already banal. 10 seasons later, the game forces the strong players to carry the weak on their backs, so the strong ones just mute your chat and voice and play solo, they have no time to deal with you. You can see for yourself - most professional apex streamers play alone when warming up because they do not intend to carry bots. Better find 2 friends to play with or go back to cs go - FOR REAL.
