Should we add a Chat Filter in the game?

Question

In the recent patch, chat filter has been added in the files for a future update (probably S12).

It has a description of "Determines which players to receive text and voice chat from. Players who do not pass the filter will be automatically muted."

I think this is a good quality of life update especially for PC players who get randoms who talk trash using the chat. On the other hand, restricting chat lessens comms about strategies in the game. Maybe apex should implement a "good sportsmanship points/score" system like other games where you have a stat if you don't quit games or not get reported for toxic behavior. This way, you can let people with a good sportsmanship score pass through the chat filter.

Thoughts?

@Cheese9Man&nbsp;great Idea for a future update but I think they need to have it so you can mute individual players.&nbsp;Sometimes I Solo Q and sometimes I have that 1 player that I would love to mute/block but the other players is fine.&nbsp;What I see in your post has not taken that into account. Hopefully they will.&nbsp;Happy Friday

@Cheese9Man This is such a good idea! PLS IMPLEMENT THIS X_X

Yesterday I played ranked arena for the 3th time ever and was so frustated with my mate which never helped the team and just camped way behind us and just sniped. And where I am? I am in the front as a LL ffs and at least my second mate was with me so I could help him with health but even then I could only kill 1 and his whole team is attacking me so I am getting downs within seconds and my mates goes down as well bc 2v1 is always tricky and the Loba? Just didn't helped at all. The first round I was like seriously? But after the 2th round I quitted bc I don't have much time (and nerves) due to my fulltime job and also because I was so angry of those kind of ppl.

Why are you in arena dammit if you wanna snipe????

@MadameRose66 Lol he’s probably doing weekly challenges. I would do the same and quit and maybe just watch some youtube vids while waiting for the quitter penalty.

Not a bad idea, needs more thought to work. I would still prefer to see them work at fixing other major bugs and issues like enemy footsteps before something like this.&nbsp;&nbsp;
