Why do people have to be toxic?
Seriously. It's a game. Clam the * down. Been playing ranked arenas and was having a pretty good run. Was teaming with a bunch of randoms. Won most matches and before the game I'm about to mention...

In my experience, 9/10 player in pubs who actually feel the need to vent rage by being toxic are average-to-just above average players who think they are good players only because they hid in a bush through Gold and reached Platinum 4 where they got hardstuck (which they ofc blame on "stupid teammates"). Good players usually dont even bother but just insta-leaves (which I guess can be seen as toxic but actually is a pre-emptive measure to NOT become toxic). I just laugh at toxic players who are bad and in the situations where I actually mess up, I usually just go "yeah my bad I messed up" and that usually is enough for them to calm down.
But like I said; most toxic players are just bad and too stupid to realize that it them and their gameplay that is the problem and not the teammates. Like this guy from a game I just played. Our squad got eliminated in a 3v3 early in the game at the drop and he started to rage and swear on the voice channel but when I finally died last, after I had knocked one and cracked the two others armor multiple times, the summery revealed it was the rager who was the weak link in the team =) Just ignore and carry on.
Ranked is another situation though and it can be so frustration to play ranked with randoms that even I (I never rage in casual) get pissed off. So I actually dont recommend anyone to play ranked without premades close to your peak ELO. There is just too many uncertain variables like misunderstandings, miscommunications and different strategies, for it to be a positive experience.
@Balladalidila Unfortunately I'm no great player so when someone decides to curse me out and harass me, it's because I am the weak link.
I have good games and bad games. Started the ranked matches when I hit lvl 100. I don't like being a burden on my teammates, and I certainly try my hardest, but I don't think it should warrent anyone being harassed over it.
Like why use your mic at all if you aren't going to use it to communicate strategy instead of harassing your team?
I wish I had more time to try and improve my game play, but it seems like I'm going to be stuck as an below average or average player.

The current rank system for lower divisions is a joke since you gains so much free RP for just not fighting which leads to players advancing way above the actual rank that corresponds best to their actual skill level. I have IRL friends who have <1 KD but still manage to "hide" their way to diamond4 every split.... I think the main reason for the changes to a new rank system next split is to allow players at lower skill level to stay much longer/indefinitely at a rank which suits them better. So hopefully, you will have a better ranked environment to grow amongst equally skilled players next split =)
- @Balladalidila I hope it works but to be honest I feel like it will just make it easier to get smurfed.
Yeah there is a risk that high elo players will farm 20k and 4k badges by just play on their Bronze/silver accounts, frag and stomp and suicide before top 14 if the game hasnt gone good enough by then and therefore be able to play indefinitely at that rank. Hope Respawn does something about this too if this becomes normal.
