Throwing matches because you can't get the legend you want

I just want to make this clear. PLEASE do not throw the match just because you couldn't get the legend you wanted. Whether they are new people who just entered the game, noobs who are trying the game...

To be fair this is the developers/pubs fault as they tied all stats to specific characters instead of the player's account. As there's nothing much to grind for in this game after about level 40 except for kill stats and badges. Then I'm assuming people don't want to spend 20 minutes in a match getting stats for a character they don't main.
Developers fault or insecure egos of players? Why do people care about their kill tracker? What good does it do? Kills doesn't equate to anything on this game. It's certainly not a "skill" quantifier.
Public stats make people play like idiots because they have to manipulate and then protect these oh so sacred stats.
"Here is your Champion" with 347 kills, 100K damage. First 30 seconds of the game "The champion has been eliminated" lol.
Who gives a flying *. I say take kill stats out of the game and maybe people will put their epeen away and just play.

Character selection screen and a full toxic guy is swearing at me really bad to not pick wraith. So I picked wraith left match and reported him.
I play with all legends and i would have picked another legend if he was polite to me but i really can't stand toxic behavior.

I think they should add stat Total kills with all characters to reduce toxic behaviors.

Also, i never leave even if my teammates hot drop.
Hot drops=kills (if you get a gun first)
It's fun and intense!
I like to land somewhere safe but even if you drop safe you might loot for 10min and then die with 0kills. Sometimes it's boring.

Why wouldn't they just make it so when you pre-select your legend you....actually pre-select it.

Negotiations can then be made in the lobby. There is no competitive matchmaking right now so implementing these leaver combating features is just a waste of time. Team comp isn't that important right now when your teammates are literally 90 levels below you.

Most of these problems will go away when matchmaking is added and there is a need for leaverbuster type stuff to be implemented. Right now it's a waste of time in the vast majority of lobbies to stick it through with complete noobies. I'm sorry if that hurts someone's feelings but I like to be blunt. And yes, it is sort of the fault of the developer. I know for certain I would have predicted this sort of thing to happen because it happens in literally every single class based multiplayer game that has ever been made.

They honestly need to have an overall stats page as well. They want to encourage players to play multiple legends but then you're restricted to mains if you want really high stats. And yes - stats matter to a lot and I mean A LOT of players.

If the pick rate of a Legend, or Legends, is so high that it causes issues during the Legend selection phase, that could be addressed by balancing the Legend(s).
If pathfinder is really popular because his grapple was not intended to work the way it does, or if his hit boxes are dodgy, these things could be changed. It would affect his pick rate.
I'm sure the gameplay designers would expect negative feedback about changes to Pathfinder, but that wouldn't have any real long-term affect on Apex. His pick-rate would drop and there would be less Legend selection 'conflict'.
This problem when selecting a class in games is something that happens a lot. So it's probably something game designers expect.
Once more Legends are available the problem will solve itself. 🧙
