When will ratting be penalized
I can not sat and when you get into a match and randoms avoid any fighting and hide for rp I really think this needs to be a reporting option
Forum Discussion
If we want to argue this point around what other games do, I could bring up COD and R6S, which highlight the final kill instead of the top performer.
If your ranked team mate runs away from your POI off drop and hides instead of helping your team fight, you can report them for sabotage. My buddy and I do, in ranked. It doesn't happen very often. If this happens a lot to you, consider whether you might possibly be making poor choices of which fights to take, which your randoms are smart enough to avoid.
Don't worry about them climbing too far where they don't belong. Just imagine how long it would take to climb through plat or diamond earning 45 or fewer RP per third place placement.
It is not going to happen. The mere fact of the game allowing a solo drop is indicative of that.
Reporting ratting is a waste of everyone's time as it is not against the rules, and does not qualify within the game as sobotage.
Clearly how a player chooses to play the game is up to them.
Conversely should "incapable hot droppers" be a reportable offence and penalised?
Having played 1,000's of games, should the players with TTV or YT in their name, all looking for content above all else, also be reported and penalised as sabotage because of their agenda? Because imperialhal they are not and willing to take unnecessary risks for their content boost that usually fail they are, losing me hard won points along the way.
Edit: The only way around this, if you are frustrated with this type of play, is to find some like minded friends and play togeather as a team. Problem solved.
When you see a champion squad like this in Plat II, would you throw caution to the wind?

Maybe some context here to avoid sounding like some big meanie. We ping and land on Eternal Gardens. Another team lands at a different part of the POI. After looting and a bunch of appropriate pinging, we end up engaged with the other team. Unfortunately, being apparently 2v3 against a three stack, we both go down. Cue our view of our third team mate - crouching on top of a box in a corner of a building several hundred meters away. This is what the guy did off drop, in gold. That is sabotage in my view. This person entered a ranked game with absolutely no intention to play with his team.
It's not about whatever ratting the guy did afterwards. That's not an issue. That's just what you do in ranked after your team is gone. I didn't see it because we left after our banners ran out. A handful of RP in gold is not worth 15 minutes of my time. In all of my games this has only happened maybe three times, tops.
I do think that you would be justified reporting your ranked team mates if their idea of a good drop is to land directly on top of multiple teams, contesting one loot spawn. I have not had the misfortune of this happening, presumably because I always duo queue in ranked and we have not had a random third be jump master and try pulling this particular stunt.

"crouching on top of a box in a corner of a building several hundred meters away. This is what the guy did off drop, in gold. That is sabotage in my view."
I have to weigh in here because this is me in about 95% of my matches, so I feel qualified to explain exactly what it is that was going through this guy's head.
One, I can guarantee you he wasn't your jm or he never would have landed that close to another squad.
Two, as soon as he hit the ground he got as far away from the other squad as he could. He didn't bother pinging where he was going because he KNEW you wouldn't go with him. He didn't bother hanging around because he KNOWS that early-game fights are 5% skill and 95% luck and didn't want to waste a potential win by relying on luck to get him through the first 60 seconds of the game. Especially when that demonstrates a willingness to allow teammates to continue the entire match in the same way. Start as you mean to continue.
Three, If you got into a gunfight without KNOWING that your third was ready and committed then that's on you, not on him.
So I would say that if you asked this guy who it was that "sabotaged" the match then you would get an answer that might surprise you.
IMO.
