ban for sabotage?
Hi, I would like to know if throwing a grenade at my feet to end the game without the double point penalty after my teammates died in a ranked match can result in a sabotage ban. Thank you very much for your reply ^^

- @youareapirate I don't see you will get a ban unless your teammates go on their way to report you or even with a video proof lol
but is this report justified? I did not ruin their game since they were already dead, simply instead of dying in 1vs3 I finished it immediately to save time
If you could have ratted to a higher placement than you ended up on, then you threw away potential RP for them and and yourself. I don't think any of us can really answer your question.
@youareapirateI feel your pain and there are days when I potentially would do the same when playing with randoms, that's just what random players do to you in Apex especially ranked mode(s).
Bannable - probably. With EA everything is and is not bannable at the same time, they operate quantum universe. All is relative and depends on their mood and the number of reports sent by other players regarding your play.
p.s. Last similar case like this for me was literarly a few days ago when I got somehow matched in a team with #315 Pred and one more Diamond player. We landed lava fissure, got a huge separation on a landing because my "friends" decided not to ping their landing location and choose to take the furthest possible side of POI.
Shortly after I said I will craft instead my "friends" decided to push Countdown (I mean one of them is pred #315 after all, probably in his head he already got 1st place with max KP). Before I managed to craft 2 bats they ran into a full team and got destroyed after which #315 started shouting "wtf, where are you bla bla bla" usual stuff you hear from braindead. In my head I might have jumped into the nearby lava to finish 20th and teach him a lesson to listen to coms and keep his ego and badmouthing in check 😉- @youareapirate Personally, I don't see why this would result in any sort of sanction. In the hierarchy of "grief/toxic" behavior, what you did is negligible, imo. Your chances at a 1 v everyone, for the win, are pretty slim unless you're really good/really lucky, so I wouldn't worry about it.
Who knows, the randoms might have been grateful that you got them back to the lobby faster, since they were already dead - @dSKyNafinchin to be honest I would take an effort from the team to survive over any toxicity. After all, toxicity is just part of human nature, especially in a competitive environment like our world :D while ranked is about giving the best short to win so if someone dies on purpose it kind of is sabotage, especially if a player is hardstuck while others are not.
Otherwise if say that is oke people can start dropping games via landing outside the map or leave people knocked, dead and not even try to get them up/respawned as it is risky as well...
I think the current system is kinda fair minus the fact that people get banned more for toxicity, harassment, badmouthing than hacking 🙂 rest is up to people what to do or not to do risking the potential ban. - @Eshshshss I am pretty much the same. I cant recall a match where I "threw" the game, because I was the only one alive. I'm one of those, "if I'm going out, I'm taking as many people with me as possible" kind of people, Lmao. Plus, I'm not a pro-level player, so I'll take any RP I can get.
I was more just saying that I don't think it's something that would get them banned, even if reported. I suppose it might depend on what tier though. Bronze-Gold, likely didn't even get reported. Plat and up, may have reported, as RP is much more scarce at higher tiers.
On the ban stuff, I feel like it is much easier to monitor/catch ToS violations like hate speech in chat, than it is to flush out the constantly evolving hacks/exploits and whatnot. I tend to just mind my own business, and do what I can to win and help my team. I'm 30+, and have never been banned from any video game or online forum. It's honestly not hard at all - @Eshshshss I'm always down to share personal experience and try to give advice! That's wild, about EA with your issue, and still sending surveys XD
The way I see it, is that I'm here to have fun with my friends. I don't care who kills me, who I kill, what they say. I just do not care. Me and my buddies play Apex/Halo/GTA together when we are all online (most days) and have a blast. If it's just me, I tend to play one of the many other games I am working on, because I just don't have much fun playing Apex/Halo solo.
When I get "hate mail", the only response they get, is "word" Lmao
Also, I meant no offense with my "It's honestly not hard at all" comment, and it was not directed at anyone. My apologies if you felt it was toward you!
