Between this and people still gaining ranked placement in Rumble that counts towards their actual ranked when it shouldn't dropping people out of pred and master. This needs to be fixed a buddy of mine was pred and now he is master because people are still gaining even though they shouldn't be.

There are people exploiting the ranked rumble leaderboards and it needs to be prevented before they get away with it, the person standing at number one is obviously cheating with 8,595 points and his point statistics show as follows,
match placement - 790 points
kills - 148 points
assists - 69 points
damage done in first ring - 101 points
damage done - 224 points
participation - 18 points
now I’m not sure about you but it’s pretty obvious that those numbers do not add up to 8,595
the people currently in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 9th and 10th are all using the same exploit as all of their points have the same problem, they do not add up, do not make sense and some even impossible in 10 games to be quite frank, ranked rumble should be fun and competitive, not have 60% of the people in top ten alone and god only knows how many more people are doing this too just to get a better rank than most, it needs fixing as this level of cheating with the high permanent banner badge reward that is going to grant these same cheaters a number 1 or 2 and make them look like they have achieved something when in reality they cheated and gained it unfairly, it shouldn’t be the case and anyone doing this should be instantly banned and not allowed rewards from ranked rumble or allowed to participate, my friend got set back to rookie from diamond and doesn’t have a chance to play and there are people getting away with this while he can’t even earn what he already had earned, apex fix your game cos I’ve played since the first week and I’m not going to lie although the new season looks good you will probably find a way to mess it up, it’s like your care for the game and respectable ranks vs cheaters is deteriorating and it’s not fair on the players that are just trying to play to win and losing to cheaters that they couldn’t POSSIBLY beat!
@KraberGod9167-YT Naming and shaming is against the Forum's TOS. I would go edit those names out. Meanwhile, I'm on PC and the leaderboard, (I see the platinum one), has the same issue.
Here's the overview. Everyone currently placed 3rd to 10th do have low participation points and higher kill points, but I'm not sure if they're cheating or not. The top 2 players on the other hand is a different story.
The player in first place:
The player in second place:
If you haven't noticed, the player in first place, (when you add up their points), only has a total of 1,081 points, while the player in second place has a total of 3,184. This is clearly an issue when the leaderboard says the first player has 5,157 points and the second player has 4,394 points. I've also did the math for every other player in the top 10. The players in 3rd to 10th place have points equal to the number being displayed. (In other words, the scoring is correct for the top 3-10 players).
The top 2 players are the ones with the incorrect score. If their scores were corrected, it would change who's in the top 10.
The player in first would be dropped out of the top 10 and place in the top 30%. (If you look at my score in the first screenshot, I have a total of 1,091 points. That's more than their 1,081 points. So, they'll be below me on the leaderboard).
The player in second would drop out of the top 10 as well. I don't know the points of the player in the top 100th place, so its hard to say if the current second place player would be in the top 20%, top 10%, part of the top 100's, etc.
Besides the points not correctly adding up for the players in first and second place, look at their points breakdown:
The player in second place had scored more points across the board than the player in first place. Here's the difference in their points:
- The top two players have incorrect points being displayed, (as in the points are not being added up correctly).
- The second place player has more points than the first place player, according to the points breakdown.
- The players in 3rd to 10th place do have the correct points being displayed, but have low participation points. I'm unsure if this indicates cheating.
- If the points were corrected for the top 2 players, it would drop them both out of the top 10, (putting the 1st place player in the top 30%, and the 2nd place player somewhere between the top 10 players and top 30% of players).
@Midnight9746 Thank you for making me aware of the name situation, I will sort that out quickly, it will probably be every leaderboard and there will be worse ones than mine but mine is still 60% filled with cheaters and like I said if there’s 60% in top ten alone how many total, I even went and messaged one of the people exploiting and they said “go and cry to respawn” and when I said it’s cheating the response was “so?”. It’s pretty pathetic and I just can’t believe respawn is about to let them all get away with it. I’ve played since the first week of release and in the current ranked rumble I haven’t played any games to determine an amount of points/score because I honestly do not see the point, because even if I happen to end up getting a really good score, I am not going to end up getting the rewards I am deserving of or might be able to earn had people not been cheating, it’s not only demotivating me to play the game but it’s gonna do it for a lot of others too until the game falls off 😬
@KraberGod9167-YT In both this rumble and the last, I've gotten to the top 20% of players. Which meant that I would of gotten the Mastiff gun skin from the first rumble, and I would be getting the car gun skin from this rumble.
However, due to those cheating and exploiting, the "top 20%" became the top 30%, as cheaters and exploiters treated the leaderboards as their chance to show off that they're not getting banned. Its a bit harder to see this trend in the ranked rumble leaderboard, but its clear that cheaters and exploiters are competing to see who can show off more.
Hopefully EA/Respawn can resolve the issue and correctly award players for both rumbles.
I also wouldn't contact these players either. If anything, you should just report them, as contacting them could lead to them harassing you or causing other issues for you.
