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

So there is only ONE RIGHT WAY to play the game? Full-on, max aggression at all times, throw everything at the wall no matter how often none of it sticks? What's next? Reporting people for not dropping in the jm's dumpster fire drop zone? For abandoning a doomed bug hunt? For not picking up the right weapons? For not playing meta legends? Where does this all end?

I'm not describing some crazy hot drop scenario here. Landing in a different part of a large POI with one other team, looting up, and fighting the other team is widely considered to be best practice in ranked Apex. This secures initial KP that grows in value through the end game as you then proceed to rotate carefully to and avoid risky fights. I think that we are coming from such fundamentally different points of view about how to play the game that I'm not going to try to argue with you, because I don't think we are going to arrive at a point of agreement. Respectfully, I think that we will just have to agree to disagree. Good luck out there!@pandareno1999 sabotage is what respawn says it is, and they do not say ratting is sabotage, and until they do, any ratting reporting is just a waste of everybodies time, including your own. Tbh it seems a bit petulant to me.
Also it's all well and good if you are part of a premade trio or duo, and you are well used to playing togeather in ranked, finding out how to work togeather best to do well, not everyone has that luxury.

As I described, we pinged our intentions multiple times, while random third communicated nothing of their intention not to help, despite having ample time to do so.
You have a point! I have literally never once solo queued in ranked, for this reason. You're a lot braver than I am on that count! I don't have the stomach for it.My bud has solo queued to Masters multiple times, and our ranked win rate together this season is somewhere around 15%. So, I'm comfortable believing that our approach is not a bad one. I will respectfully bow out of this conversation now, as I'd prefer not going around and around the same argument. As for the report, I will concede your point and let it go there.

"Landing in a different part of a large POI with one other team, looting up, and fighting the other team is widely considered to be best practice in ranked Apex."
I would have said that this is one particular practice that is favored by a majority of players, but is certainly not the only path forward in this game. I'm personally suspicious of the practice because I find that most players (that I see in the game) choose it as a method of preventing boredom without a thought to risk/benefit.
And I'm not trying to bring anyone around to my way of thinking so much as just trying to point out that in-game behaviors are not always what they seem. What may appear to be pointless and counter-productive can sometimes be very carefully considered and deliberate. Whether it can count as successful depends entirely on how you measure success. One of the things that I find frustrating about this game is that the ranking system encourages players to treat the game like an arena shooter instead of a survival game. The scenario you described could certainly fit that mould, although I have to acknowledge, especially knowing a little bit about your personal gameplay philosophy, that there is more to it than that.I mean, again, as I see it, players will do what they think will have them win, and right now that’s ratting. If not all the time then at least when things go badly. This is not a very sportsmanship oriented game right now.
