Well known to anyone whose experience in life came before their experience in video games. Sadly there are generations of gamers who were born in a bubble called "the internet" where actions have no consequences and game developers throw gas on their fire. The internet is an ego incubator and gaming amplifies it all. This game is the poster child for rubbing up against a player just enough to make them feel invincible... then crushing them like a bug. But of course most players don't care. And the whole system is designed to try to prevent them from caring. The game needs an army of idiots if streamers and pros are going to be kept content.

Yeah in Apex clear examples are:

there was? loading screen message saying "there is not "I" in "Team"" promoting teamworking, at the same time there are so many stats and badges that reward individual dominance = 20bomb, 4k, k/d, damage per game etc...
many people will evaluate your opinion, calls, ideas not objectively but based on individual performance stats (above) = many teammates will follow someone who does brainless pushes and succeed in them vs doing the right thing, creating right habits and if you have great idea but 0 damage you will mostly likely hear "yeah sure, go rat / loot"
ranked system that rewards Fragment droppers that later will be carried (their early KP multiplied) by other teammates that will play for position / survival

But I think that if such videos from actual pro teams would surface more people would understand that yes individual skill matters and fragging matters and damage matter but if while doing that you are piece of s#%$% noone will play with you in higher ranks. You will stop at the level where you might find 1-2 low skill / ego players who will follow you only because easy RP for them aka fanboys/fangirls but nothing more.
