I must confess the longer I play this game the more I leave matches prematurely. Love the game for the most part however I have a major problem with it, teammates.
I much prefer duo's to trio's and will normally play duo's or solo duo's. I actually prefer playing solo a lot of the time but it is very hard to win against duo's playing solo, out of hundreds of attempts I've managed it once.
I started playing with the Mic on but rarely had any good expirences, ending up in sweary shouting exchanges on several occasions. This is not good for my health so only play now with voice comms disabled.
When I get a good teammate I won't quit the game, I'll wait until I've timed out, but it has to be worth it. If a teammate hot drops me and I die instantly I'm quitting. If a teammate rushes round the map not allowing me any time to loot and I die when they're miles away I'll quit. If a teammate starts a fight then runs off leaving me to die I'll quit. This goes both ways, if a teammate does these things and dies I won't try to save them.
The game frustrates me so much, I want to play alone but I need a teammate to win. I can't communicate with my teammates because of the awful toxicity that comes through voice chat.
Now looking at it from EA's point of view, they want people to play together. If people play with friends they are more likely to play more often and spend more money. I've tried to team up and find people to play with but I hate it, I'm talking to a complete stranger and I spend most of my time worrying about what to say. It's stressful and I don't play video games to get stressed out, I've never bought a cosmetic item in all my time gaming, I'm not a good customer.
EA doesn't want me to play solo, they need people like me in lobbies with their valued customers so that it's much easier to manipulate games via Sbmm and keep as many people as they can engaged.
So yeah I've become a toxic player, and probably won't be playing this game much longer. I definitely won't be spending any money on it. If it had solo's I'd play much more. My first experience of BR was Firestorm and I was top of the leader board for solo wins for the first few months so I know I like solo's, then the game died. Warzone solo's is a horrible campy mess where more often than not you die without seeing who shot you.
Love the game, movement, gun play, TTK, pacing, third partying, characters, abilties all that good stuff, just hate the teammates.
That's because you get a bonus for leaving matches in Apex
