DDos Rank Experience

Okay, so im really not one to go onto a website and post my opinion I usually save those rants for my close friends. But this has been bothering me considering I've lost RP twice from this. Rank. It is a fun experience, I usually solo queue for no other reason than I like to.  im 99RP shy of D1, yeah I decided to do the grind within the last week, Sue me lol. Anyways, I've ran into more DDos servers than I would care to mention. The whole act of DDos is quite illegal and it peaks my curosity as to why the Apex Devs are not doing something about it. Not only is it very very annoying but from the other side - its corny to me. You rather DDos than actually I don't know PLAY THE DANG ON GAME? It ruins other players experience and honestly if you feel as though you MUST do it... Kindly get off the game and find some semblance of self-worth, this isn't that serious. 

   Im still amazed at how the Devs haven't figured out some anti-cheat system. Oh wait never mind neither I or you are streamers who can hit the speed dial to get someone banned. Ah our opinions don't matter, even though the ratio between top streamers and the average joes are quite disproportionate. I get that cosmetics matter oh so much and making sure streamer Johnny likes the test run of a new season spec, but, could you guys seriously do something about the cheating in this game. And to anyone that does it... you're corny.

    I think Apex servers are the victim in this scenario. Wouldn't ISPs figure in this situation?
    I'm not sure, but what can Respawn/EA do about it? Servers need an external address.

    I would guess that ISPs should be the ones protecting against DDoS attacks.

    This's their modus of operation, caught live on stream and he got banned : Well deserved !

    1. Launch DDOS attack.

    2. Rejoin ASAP

    3. Kill everybody that is hanging and not re-join yet.

    4. Collect easy RP to rank up to Diamond/Master/Predator.

    5. Repeat.

    @Ajin333 If the hacker smart, it can be tricky.

    First hacker find out the Apex server IP and port, then he attack that IP & port.

    Stupid hacker is using his own IP, but smart hacker use FAKE IP and port so it seems coming from different source so it's harder to catch him.

    But they can see the pattern, which player gain the most RP from those disconnect, that is the primary suspect. Hideout need to do manual analyzis and abnormal RP gain that keep repeating, then we get the bad guy.

    This is not trivial, smartest hacker can hold their greed, they will patiently wait their attack or fake their graph so they abnormal RP gain doesn't got exposed.

    Why do they only have one person like Hideouts? For a game with 100 million players that has to be exhausting. They need like 10 of them lol.

    In a word, time. Time gets converted to money. And money is better invested in other aspects of the game which have at least a return, skins....
    Banning cheaters can help retain some of the playrbase, but cheaters in Apex are not a cause for mass exodus of players. Even top preds keep playing the game despite getting cheater after cheater (or so they claim) --I guess that money from streaming is worth more than the actual frustration they endure because of cheaters?
    Respawn is doing just enough to keep the population of cheaters at an acceptable level, more than that and they would probably lose some income...
    Just my opinion.
