This isn't a problem with apex alone I'm afraid, where there's PvP toxicity is usually not far away and the main cause of this imo is bad player experience. Basically you have situations like the current matchmaking system in Apex (or rather the lack of one) which dumps all different types of players into the same team for the sake of having a full team even though those players usually have a huge skill gap between them meaning low skill players are going to be constantly getting killed and become upset because the high level kept rushing into fights while they were trying to learn the game or whatever and the high level would be upset because his teammates were unreliable. Eventually these experiences would make even the calmest of us a little toxic if we're exposed to such situations frequently enough and ocfourse that's exactly what happens, game after game, disappointment after disappointment and all it takes is a small spark to start a fire in the lobby.

I would say what some random captain obvious always says in posts like these which is to "play in a premade team" like no * buddy you think I didn't think of that? But of course being a solo queue warrior I know how hard it is to find like-minded people to play with, specially if you don't have a mic, so all I can say is c'est la vie

    I admit that me and my friend do this sometimes. Every member of a squad is important in my opinion, having that extra man can win you battles and matches regardless of the skill level but with that being said, we have and likely will again leave that third man to his/her fate but not without a good reason for doing so.

    If we're in the endgame and we have superior positioning and that random third person decides to jet off on thier own and die then I'm sorry but we're not giving up the superior, potentiallly game winning positioning to come and rez them. That person WILL be left to die, it's that simple. It sounds harsh I know and generally if a squadmate goes down in or after combat we will rez  but most certainly not in late game situations like that.

    The same can also be said for early game too. If that random third person decides they're a fkin hero and starts engaging in combat when we've got no armour and nothing but a mozam then yeah sorry, we're taking our time to get some gear so we actually stand a chance and if you die it's on you. Sure we'll respawn you when we're comfortable but we're not rushing on over. Just because that third person might have what they need to start fighting doesn't mean that the other squadmates do. I can't even count the amount of times where I've pinged "I need a weapon" only for it to be ignored and for a suadmate to start battling it out with another three man squad thinking we're going to have thier back when all I've got is fists and no armour.

    In certain siatuations we'll leave that third person to die, it's just how it is, as harsh as it may seem.
