It happens in all games but WHEW
I have thick skin, I don't get shaken up by random people online 'usually'.
Tonight was the worst night for me in Apex, 6 games almost in a row there was someone flaming me before the game even st...

Unfortunately I see this all too often, wenever I play with my older bro who doesn't nearly have as much time to play as me (but he's played more FPS games than I have...)
We need an in-game report system for teammates (if there is one, please, someone, point it out to me).
An option to be matched with people of similar skill level "if available" would help too I think. But that might be too tricky to make.
It's difficult because any system can be abused. Do it by kill/death and people will purposely not kill to drop brackets. Do it by level and you just screw everyone who isn't god at aiming. Do it by a hit ratio and people will intentionally throw shots or shoot at thin air to drop it. Skill based matching should be a thing but it's just too bloody hard to control. No matter how you do it people will abuse it, because people don't actually enjoy fighting on their level. They care about the numbers in their stats.

Its not too bloody hard to control. Its done in professional sports. Quakelive bought a great alogrithm from gaimtheory, a company made up of team owners, casino owners and stockbrokers who are into video games. But that game imploded because the devs themselves didn't consider video games a sport and never actually implemented it into their game, even though it was the most accurate rating for an fps game I ever seen to date. The rating was there to see, just not used for any league tier or matchmaking.
A rating should be based off of all stats, not just some. Should also be based in conjunction with a win ladder and there should different tier levels just like in cs:go and League of Legends. Gimme a break. With the amount of people playing this game it can be done more easily.
Will there still be stat padders and smurfers? of course but they won't be affecting the community like they are now.
