Stop raging at your teammates
This game is awful as far as teammates just screaming like they are Hal in the ALGS playing for millions of dollars. It isn't once and a while either it happens all the time around gold/plat ranks. T...

@Persistance55 theres a difference between a game where you lose rank by not playing, and one where you just do the bare minimum to get a rank and never have to lose it. Nobody here is going to believe you on your rocket league story btw.
if you dont like people using voice chat to tell you that you made a bad play, then mute them. Or say something back to them? You sound like a child crying that someone yelled at them.
The other day, someone started talking * when he died in a teamfight. I got on my mic and said, yo quit yelling or take the 10 minute leaver penalty, cuz im not listening to this and im not giving up. He proceeded to calm dwon and we won the game. Sometimes people act toxic because they know nobody is going to reply. Its really easy for me to sit here and type this at you, calling you a stupid kid. But i bet if we were using our voice comms to speak, it would be a different conversation.
Instead of crying that someone was toxic, be a symbol of non toxicity and try to push that, instead of coming onto the forums to complain about listening to people that you have an option to hear. You sound borderline *.
Youre not better than them because you arent toxic, you coming to make a post makes you worse than them. SPEAK to the people who cause you problems, dont troll around like a gremlin looking for someone to feel sorry for you

I normally just stop for a minute and mute + report, I'm not getting my day ruined because of a narcissistic foton trying to ruin my day blaming me for his own bad plays. I think the OP has a very good post and its needed, because most of the yellers are the problem themselves - either by managing to go in and die by themselves and not owning it while trying to blame their teammates, or doing interesting choices that pacifies the teammates since they need to go into rescue/guard mode to try save the day. But strangely enough these are often the guys that go yelling, calling names and posting forum posts about bad teammates and how they outplayed someone higher level then themselves because xxx insert fancy reason here. When reality is they took down the team themselves or died all by themselves.
I cant count how many times an "angry" person rotates away from a perfect gate keeping position for the ring into a pinch position on chase expecting the team to follow and me and my team mate like naah, red flag maneuver never gona happen. Then he gets a knock, he gets knocked and hell is loose, no matter if you politely try tell him how bad a move he did and why he died .... yep mute, report...
Edit: Yes I do stupid maneuvers myself in pubs to have fun but I dont yell on anyone about it, I own my own mistakes and laugh it away afterwards 😉

DarkoI had this experience yesterday. Jumpmaster pinged area to land, I usually break off to land nearby so we don't cannabalize each other's loot but it turned out they landed not quite where he pinged (a few hundred metres) away. I pick up some stuff and notice there is another squad nearby so I try to move back to my squad (I'm not taking on a squad solo), I get spotted and they chase but either I lost them or they weren't too interested. Took some damage and pinged. Nobody noticed, nobody cared.
Fine, meet up with squad and we are clearing out a building between us (this is the crash site behind artillary on KC). One squad mate starts getting attacked and freaks out on the mic we aren't with him and are no help... lol. I asked him where that enthusiasm was when I was getting shot at and chased.
We helped him out fo course and managed to win the fight but, jeeze.

Some people don't seem to understand that they're the ones who brought the team down by not understanding your teammates' situation. I have met tons of people who are so bad at the game which bronze-gold players, camping from the get-go, looting at the edge of the map where nobody is even close, always running away once they hear a gunshot, sitting around for 15 minutes doing absolutely nothing just to die to a squad waiting for you inside of the ring, and they blame me when I engage with enemies. Like come on, what are you doing? this is a shooter game and we need kills to get points.
I used to get called out by good players when I did mistakes and of course, it's sucks but I am willing to learn the game, the mechanics, the strategies, now I am more than decent at Apex and I'm still learning, instead of crying why people were so mean to me because I did mistakes and brought the whole team down.
I understand if they are low-skilled players, we all started at the lowest level at some point, but when players who actually want to play the game properly guide these crybabies with all sorts of pings and still act braindead by refusing to learn, then what's the point? They are not making progress skill-wise and got mad when people called them out.
I played with lots of newbies every now and then that are willing to follow instructions and always try to understand their situations and I have no problem if they couldn't live up to my expectations while they actually tried.To be honest youre describing how S11 had to be played, S12 will bite you hard if you play like that. Different point rules different game... This is also why you see gold up normally last ring youre still 5+ teams alive, not like S11 where R3 2 teams left.
- People in this game are toxic for little to no reason at all. Players tend to think they're better than they actually are and take it out on their teammates when things don't go their way.
The text chat and mic are used for communication purposes and stratigizing, they shouldn't have to be used to tell some screaming prepubesant or some player that thinks they're hot * to chill out.
Being respectful to your teammates is basic human decency.
Unfortunately you're not going to get much of that in what is a competitive team game. You're better off muting them.Not everyone though, actually most people I meet are positive and is able to take a chill pill when not everything goes smoothly hehe. But there are some... The select few that really gets noticed...
I don't rage at my teammates..but when I get a lvl 113 on my team who acts like a complete bot and you have to leave him behind because he absolutely refuses to join the other team members valkyrie jump...then I want to rage.
Dude didn't even follow and eventually we made our way back to him and stood right in front of a window like a calling sign after another team had been spotted. Anyone could have sniped his *.
