I announce EVERYTHING.

"Shot guy, hit for 35 Purple"

"Hit 2 with grenade, white and blue"

"Setting up a zipline in case we get pinched or need to escape (then I ping it on map)"

*Pings location* "Keep eye out here, based on flight path, could be people coming from that direction eventually"

*Ping weapons, armors, ammo*

"If this engagement turns bad, there is a balloon/escape route/better approach this way"

In my experience, teammates will leave if you spam voice or text chat.

I did have a guy last night say "Do you ever just feel like you are talking to yourself?"

I just responded and said "Well you clearly hear me". My goal every match is to finish top 3, being communicative helps with that. Can't help people with bad attitudes. Not even sure why people with bad attitudes are playing. Gaming is supposed to put you in a good mood.

  I'm very talkative by nature, just like you, and so is my friend I play Apex with.
  The thing is that, I hardly ever hear anything from other players. And, sometimes they will simply leave when they hear me talking. Which I put down to players being very stressed, and that stress making them intolerant. Which I completely understand. From experience, the very start of matches is where players are most tender. It's best to keep a low profile to begin with, to let teammates get over the last game.
  I'm not disagreeing with you. But, as someone who is quite aggressive and risk seeking, I have come to realise that I need to be a bit more considerate. Some people often call me a 'bull in a china shop', because of the way I am. That kind of behaviour doesn't work in teams. We have to learn to get the best out of our teammates.
