@1ronKeysI did something weird last night with a friend. We had open mics and pretended to sound like old men. You know what happened? Pretty much every person we played with worked with us. Some laughed and asked out age. It was the least toxic mic session I've ever had. My throat hurts today due to the way I did it tho haha

I think they were probably listening because you were a duo. Kinda harder to work against an established duo? As someone who exclusively solo queues, teammates almost always blame me when anything goes wrong. I've met some of the most toxic gamers in Apex lol.

Maybe try doing the "old man voice" solo queuing, then report back? Maybe they were listening because it sounded like you guys were having fun? I really doubt it was the voice itself.

People tend to listen if someone is making good calls, and they're smart enough to realize that. Like maybe this guy has more experience then us? Maybe there's something to learn here. Typically not though.

I believe it is just this, there are some good players int his game. I met randoms that are good people but the majority are crap. Especially the kids. They are just damned annoying

I have got to the point that comms is just shut off unless I'm playing with a real friend.

Very true. I'm not on the mic often but when I am then it's obviously with the old man voice because I am, in fact, an old man. I get so much less flack when they know I'm not some pushover twelve year old who will actually respond to toxicity or peer pressure. They're still incredibly frustrated with me - they just don't say it often or loudly. I guess there are upsides to getting old. Who knew?

Same here, if I use my comms, which isn't very often... after hearing my voice they usually ask my age. When I tell them I am in my 50's the mood shifts quite quickly. In most cases they seem to mature a little on the spot. This doesn't happen always but more often than not. 

When I am in the selection screen and I hear the little 8 year old screaming useless banter and playing his music at extreme levels or spouting off immature little kid gibberish... I back out immediately and try again.

This should be added to gameplay disruption reports. Absolutely no need for it.

Can even go on the grounds of copyright... broadcasting recorded music/film.
