Is this bannable?

So basically, I am wondering if this is a banable offense cause I genuinely have no idea. 

So,let's say you have no fill on just so you are alone 90% of the time so you don't need to deal with randoms, you drop hot in apex with like 10 other teams, let's say you kill everyone you can and there is no one left in your POI you dropped at, and you leave the game so you dont have to waste time hunting down the remaining squads. You rinse and repeat this strategy to have fun, is this a banable offense? On the "Play by the rules" page it says stat peddling and cheating are banable, (Doesn't clarify what stat padding means) so is the scenario i described a banable offense or no?

    Hey! 

    Was just asking - kinda hoping an EA official can confirm it's not banable so I feel okay with doing it lol but out of curiosity, can you explain why its impossible for this to be banable?

    @Frostence Have you ever solo qued before? That's no different then the hundreds of thousands of randoms I'm matched with that leave the game as soon as they're knocked.

    Quitting a match has never been a bannable offense.

    Okay, didn't know if leaving the match after killing everyone off drop would be manipulating the SBMM in a way it shouldn't be or something like that in some way hence why I asked, appreciate it!

    @FrostencePeople leave this game before dying a lot to keep a better KD. So far I have yet to see anyone say they were banned for it. Unless that's where all the false ban complaints comes from. 😳

    I mean if you are really worried just play a character that can cover ground quickly to find another team.

  • @hayhor Not overly worried lol just wanted to make sure I can do this xD I do have no fill on so its not like im ruining my randoms experience cause i dont have any soo lol

    @Frostence @hayhor 

    Here is an original idea, how about playing the game as intended and go for the win.

    IMHO players that perform what @Frostence is talking about is in all actuality a form of stat padding, quitting before you die after making a few kills is preserving/padding your KD ratio. 

    But if that is the way you want to play that is up to you.

    @Asmodeus566 Yet no one whos left when knocked have ever been banned so, while its preserving KD it most likely isn't something that is cared about from EA or Respawn. Now if apex actually made it so leaving when knocked counted as a death like it should be then yeah that'd make sense. My situation isn't talking about leaving when knocked and its more so talking about leaving the game after you kill everyone you can on hot drop to hot drop the following game seconds later to see if that was allowed or not.
