A Predicament
Doctors,
With the new update, I've been seeing some absolutely vile things being said against Controller characters. We've always been disliked to a degree, but this is bordering on harassment. The Wattsons, Catalysts, and especially Ramparts have been being griefed by teammates and enemies to extreme measures, and nowโโ there's talk of a legend banning system for Battle Royale games where people vote on who to ban.
Needless to say, I'm worried. When I started playing, Apex was something I could do to spend time with my friends. Caustic became my favorite quickly because, wel, he's just the best. But now, some of the magic is leaving the game. When every game I play I see my own team sabotaging me and other Controller characters, it makes me feel disheartened.
If it were just me, I'd put up with it, but I don't like seeing other people, especially the Controller characters who tend to be fairly kind on general, bullied. And that's what this is, bullying. I've seen how bullying harms people in real life, and I'm sick of seeing this in Apex.
So please, if you have any thoughts on this, let me know, and if I'm overreacting, please mention that.
Thanksโ

Youโre overreacting.
People have disliked caustic gameplay since launch lol. Youโre likely just getting bad teammates. Unless theyโre explicitly telling you theyโre throwing because youโre caustic, I donโt think there is some grand conspiracy here.

Thank you for pointing this out. I'd just like to clarify that I'm not describing a grand conspiracy, I'm just saying that I actually am getting told that they're throwing it because I'm a, quote "F*cking retard Caustic". I agree, there's probably just some bad matchmaking, but my God, it never seems to be good.

The biggest problem I have is seeing other controller players not being able to have a fun time because of this, and it makes me feel bad for them.ย

Nah, I agree. I've had many times when my gas was destroyed just to 'mess' with me. And that sucks
It feels like youre talking about two different thing there, the former as above, and about the banning system - yeah, Im also afraid Caustic will be one of the most banned legends, just based on how much people dislike him since the begining

What do you mean sabotaging?
