Did I make the wrong call as the last alive?
I was solo alive in a ranked Apex match after both of my teammates died. There was only one replicator available that I could get to without getting caught.
The problem was that the replicator was surrounded by what looked like 4 different squads fighting/rotating around it. I decided to wait because I figured crafting the banners there would just get me killed.
I ended up dying before I found a safe opportunity to craft but I was hiding for a decent amount of time. This was at landslide. After I died, one teammate got mad and asked why I was waiting, saying I should’ve just used the replicator. Specifically, “why the fuck were you fucking waiting there for so long, you know there was a replicator right behind you, right? You legit gave me cancer” with the other guy laughing. From my perspective, there wasn’t another replicator and this one wasn’t safe to use.
Was waiting the better play, or should I have tried to craft immediately even with multiple squads nearby?
I’m genuinely looking for strategy advice here, not validation. If you think I misplayed it, what would you have done differently?
Also, I just have a really hard time dealing with toxic stuff like this. I might have some OCD. So forgive me if I sound crazy for even asking.
