I've only been playing Apex for a few weeks, but I uninstalled it last night. The last 2 days, basically since the word spread about the hitbox discrepancies and other related bugs, I've been insulted, abandoned, and just generally loathed for maining Gibraltar. I like this game, but it's pulled in the most toxic elements from player bases from other similar games and concentrated them into one area. I'd love to keep playing this until I'm better at it, but it's not worth the abuse and being a team based game, getting abandoned 75% of the time after I choose Gibraltar isn't conducive to actually learning the game. I've been gaming since the Atari 800 and I don't ever plan on stopping. I think you have a great thing here and I sincerely hop that you clean it up so that I can come back to it at some point. Best of luck.

I can count the number of toxic players I have encountered on one hand and I've played a few hundred matches. I even play Gibraltar fairly often.

As with the other poster the number of "toxic" players I have encountered is on 1 hand after several hundred matches. Do what you want to do, tell people to f themselves and keep playing. Prove them wrong and make them eat their words. If you have been playing since games since Atari (you haven't) its time to grow up big boy, maybe this is your golden opportunity. This is the internet and more importantly the world, you aren't special, you deserve no special attention and if you are this fragile that you have to bellyache and moan about it on the forums thinking anyone gives a half of a wafting fart I'll let you in on a secret, literally no one cares. You are 1 among 50 or more million and more than expendable. Must have gone to one of those "special" high schools where they coddle you and tell you how special you are or something. GL out there playing bubble bobble or something in your safe space.

Fact: Gibraltar looks like a beast warrior, but actually it is the very best Legend for a suicide squad :D The Dome is actually counterproductive, a self trap where your teammates will get trapped in, cannot see * and enemy squads will spot the dome from a kilometer. In addition to this, whenever he aims at anything or when he scans/watches an area (scoped) his shield is also clearly visible from a kilometer so enemy will definitely come to erase your squad. Moreover he is 30-40% larger target than smaller legends, so will die fast and easily. Your squad will have to keep revive it and endanger themself and the mission.
Gibraltar was born to be a loser, so its squad. It is a mistake to use it.

They actually left because your other teammate picked wraith when they wanted it.

i usually leave the team durring fight , because its damn team based game, not TDM . so no team work no wasting time on idiots players. there are many idiots in high level people who thinks they are damn good and they dont need team and they Rush soo fast to other places or enemies that they dont care about team if they get knocked down.
So whenever start of the game, i usually send a message on team chat that. stay together and no rush . but if they rush n got knocked down . i dont revive and simply see them from far and some salty message. and just leave. i know its bad. but its me.

Regarding toxic players in Apex, its just the same as in every other FPS games. Tension, frustration, agression mixed with "no life" PC gamers always comes with toxic players. I did not see more in Apex than in the BF series. Maybe less Apex players are taking the games seriously as it is free, they did not pay for it....
But yeah, unlike in BF2-4 series there are no dedicated community servers with admins and rules and constant community member players who know each other so the self control in Apex (and in BF5) is pretty much zero compared to BF2-4 games where the community was and still is strong, it does have strong filtering and control on its community and the random players too (kick, ban, vote etc) where your NAME MEANS something on the server, it is your face which you do not waste....
EA has killed the COMMUNITY and most of the fun element in BF5 and Apex, that is the issue! You play with your mates or you are screwed... ON BF4 servers you know each other each round and know what to expect from whom, know their skills etc... Bf2-4 are competitive community based games while BF5 and Apex are arcade ad hoc rounds if you do not play it with your friends, but still the enemy is random mess mainly noobs without leaders.

Such toxic players as you shall play PUBG SOLO MODE not Apex where you do not find your place
I fight and die for my squad, whatever the case is. Even if it is a kamikaze situation due to one of our mistake. Even if I know I will die in a minute I still rush in and revive 1-2 mates or take their banner, so we die with honor
Check this out where Dizzy schools such a player: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJBqx6WdDb8
But I also try to avoid unnecessary fights and keep a distance from too aggressive squad mates or who moves too much (exposes us) instead of tactical camping/hiding.

BF no longer has dedicated servers. This is a thing of the past because they are targeted for ddos and people are stalked nowadays by malicious hackers. Badmins have taken over so companies had to pull the plug following the lead by console games. BF3 use to give players names and even the ip address of the server. That slowly started to change.
Also in BF most people are not trolling on the mic. ACtually you are lucky to get anyone to talk on the mic and if they do they are usually mature, And age has nothing to do with it, in apex even adults act the fool on the mic.
And I guess BF5 is for casuals in that sense then. I prefer to play bf5 to apex, because even though teams are usually stacked in bf5, its 32 players on a team so a couple noobs doesn't ruin the whole team, and it doesn't affect my k/d as much. Again I don't have to deal with people flaming or saying obscene and derogatory things on the mic in bfv. It never happens.
The problem with bfv is no team balance. And that is the community's fault not EA. Because people tried to implement one in BC2. But admins were getting harassed over it so they scrapped it while in beta. Its just this selfish generation and the times we live in that don't really want fair play. Its the reason titanfall 2 is not popular but apex is.
