Please stop spamming finishers

I think this has to be the most annoying thing in apex that toxic enemies do. I don't mind getting finished but the consistent flashing light with the sound effect when spamming the finisher is really annoying. What do you guys do when this happens? Just quit the game? I hope there's a way they can't spam like a 5 second interval.

  • @Cheese9Man Nothing, getting finished(even spamming for 30 sec) or t-bagged don't affect me really. But then again, it's very rare that somebody does that.

    I would be more annoyed if my teammate spams revive to troll, or any other action that indicates I am not gonna get revived. Better to leave.
  • @Cheese9Man I think I’ve had this happen less than 3 times since they could cancel their finishers. I would also say it’s annoying and it shouldn’t be happening but ppl will unfortunately always do it.

    If it’s a 3-stack, they might just rotate who does it if there’s a timer involved so it’ll never go away I think...

    I will admit, I don't care for a lot of this stuff. Finisher spamming. Revive spamming. At the end of a BR match, one team will watch someone partly self Rez, just to kill them. I even saw this one clip on Twitter where an Octane waited for his pad to be ready, and threw the Rezzing enemy off a cliff. Or, you'll have people in Arena 3v1 someone and T bag them every round.

    I don't know, it all just seems a little... Childish, I guess? I get some who play this game are literally children. But, I just don't get the point of it. Especially, as a grown adult. A lot of it is just immature and unsportsmanlike.

    As for what I do about it? Well, I dont participate in a lot of it, for one. If I use a finisher, it's with the intent of finishing the person (only cancelling if I need to). And when I see clips like that Octane one, I usually comment like I do here (ie, I don't find it funny and all that).

    But, in the end, people will do what they want to do. And unless it's a reportable offense (don't know if it is or not), it'll keep happening. Sadly, it's part of the online multiplayer "experience" (though not a part of it I enjoy on either side, to be honest).

  • Back when I was a sweaty tryhard Wraith die-hard main I'd spam her Into the Light finisher, just punching over and over and over and over...

  • @Cheese9Man The one hurt is all 3 of them taking a turn finishing you while you desperately spanning "enemy is here" but your team mate is no where to be around.

    Note:

    BH finisher with knife stab hurt the most.

  • @asukojo I'd be more mad at my teammate in that situation. I always rush to save a downed teammate unless he died in a stupid spot. If they spam their finisher on my mate it'll only help me save them.

    It's toxic behavior but if the enemy can spam finishers its because your teammates are selfish/idiots or you died in a stupid way... Or you're the last one alive with a gold knockdown shield.

  • @Cheese9Man I never have this much time let alone time to get an actual finisher off lol.

    @asukojo What about LL when she puts the needle in. Wattson's disintegration is pretty brutal for me too.
  • @Cheese9Man Oh no, please keep doing it. I have killed many enemies that were having to much fun with finishers.. it’s really fun when I’m bang, knock them pop smoke and then I finish them. Then proceed to do the same to their second teammate..

    @DarthValtrex Yeah this. I've killed a lot of people as caustic who thought they had the time to do a finisher while in my gas. Even after the reduced damage.
