As what I’ve said before, it’s seldom that I play solo and don’t experience most of the frustrations of teaming up with randoms. I was watching this RagTagg video and was wondering how often do you encounter these types of toxic players? Randoms that would punch or shoot at you when didn’t like what you did. Are toxic teammates more common in some servers compared to others? Also are you guilty of doing some of these toxic behaviors yourself? Lol. Maybe the most toxic thing that I’ve done when I got frustrated with my randoms was to throw away my loot before quitting so that they wouldn’t be able to get my stuff.

@pandareno1999 Lol I would have left when you punched me. The whole we gotta wait for people to loot their kills mentality players have has to stop. In a game of 3rd partying you need to loot quickly.

How often do you encounter these types of randoms?

Difficult to say. Happens but not excessively. If you punch me off of a cliff I leave. I remember one time on Arenas, I got repeatedly punched during the buying fase, asked him not to, he continued. So I went the other way from them, then they complain "why you no fight with team?", I explain that I asked you not to punch me 10 times, and you did... "okay, sorry, mate". Next round we fight as a team and win, then the other guy punches me during the next buying fase and everything goes South again.
I love the people who will just stand there and wait when my ult has arrived, waiting for me to come open it and wait for me to take stuff first. That is completely unnecessary though. But I guess they do that because they've met Lifelines who lose their **** if they've looted the ult or something before.
That is probably the most toxic thing I do too, but it always comes as a result of someone else doing something first, like punching me.

@CCbathwater hearing that continuous thump of someone punching you while buying would also grind my gears. Lol.

@Cheese9Man I'm tired of rando in Ranked right now lol. I really need more tms. I sometimes punch a tm if they took something I dibbed. That's usually the only reason.

@Cheese9Man idk if this dude complains about toxic people yet at the end of the video he clearly goes for what seems to be body/box stomping, punching which in itself is not a very friendly move to pull 🙂

I in this matter am all up for what imphall is and says - if you want to win emotions take over quite often and some harsher words or higher voice tone is ok, as long as you keep your feedback, comments constructive not just say "you are dumb, ok".

Also people in Apex no matter the server have many self-esteem problems and can't take any feedback, either you are a fairy-tale, pink glasses positive mindset man or you are outright toxic, worst man alive, nothing in between is my experience in this game which is sad, people playing Apex definitly will have a tough time outthere in life.

@EREGDS Rag handles toxic people so well. Yes sometimes he even loses it but overall, watching him live he handles it well.

As for hal, his team just changed again. Wonder why.

@Cheese9Man I play pubs so I can leave the toxic people. I'm not winning a game for them.

@Cheese9Man The only "toxic" thing I do, would be that I pop a couple rounds into anyone that steals loot that I clearly have dibbed (unless they grabbed it RIGHT after/as I dibbed it). Cant stand that crap. I don't empty a mag or even half, so it's not like it's a toxic amount, but more just letting them know that they're a [enter expletive here]. I'm not gonna throw a match or try to punch at them or anything excessive. Just a little brrt

@Lord_Scorpion34 That too. If this keeps happening it will trigger me too. It's a fast paced game, sometimes you don't notice or whatever, fine, but when you do it twice, three times... then I am likely to be back in the lobby before you even notice I'm gone.

@Lord_Scorpion34 The whole dibs thing is a bit tricky. If I'm standing on the item and pick it up as you dibs it I'm keeping it. If you dibs something and don't pick it up for ages or don't pick it up at all and I was near and could have used it that's annoying too. As far as I am concerned you dibs something you go straight to it.

@hayhor idk but I would be a good fit there, we would trash each other so loud that stream watchers would need to mute us :D

I totally have the same / similar mentality as he does and besides the fact that he (and sometimes me) look from the side as screaming spoiled girls I do understand how he can lose it especially over dumb mistakes (by others), repetitive issues that have been talked over or not following just agreed gameplan.
