Hello, 

I am here to report this because it has become unplayable for us masters and preds.

Since several seasons on console (xbox and PlayStation) people are Boosting each other’s ranks.

They try to get in the same game, they drop in the same place, kill themeselves multiple times in a row in order to get KPs, then craft respawn beacons, respawn their dead ”allies” and do the same process again.

Next when zone comes to them, they move, starting to kill other teams on 6v3.

At the end of the game, they start boosting again to get more KP until the last zone closes.

Right now it is way harder than it should be to get pred as at least half of the predators on console are doing this. 

And if you have a closer look onto the top 100 preds on each console, you will see that at least 3/4 of them are boosted.

Keep in mind that they all play the same characters: crypto loba pathfinder

We have tried several things such as changing servers but they are everywhere.

Maybe you can put in place a system which spot people who kill 5 times the same guy who has been respawned 5 times in the same game in order to ban them.

They are ruining the game and the ranked experience is being horrible nowadays.

Please do something it is not normal that at least half of console preds are boosting for an entire season without getting banned.

Thanks for your time, I hope someone will read this and do something about it.

They tell us to report on the "official" ways, but as far as I can tell the "official" way is just to report when you're watching the squad that killed you (onyl if they killed you) and then you get to report.
I have searched everywhere for a mean to report cheaters that we find (for example) in a video from a community or someone's stream. But I've found none! They have proof, they have videos and everything but they can only report ONCE! Then we see the video and we can't help reporting them because EA doesn't provide the means. What the hell?? I'm I missing something?? Is there a mysterious website or discord that we can report them that I don't know???

The other games have such great report systems, look at DOTA! They even created a system where the most valuable players (players with no report at all) can help the community by analysing suspicious behavior from other players using the recorded match. You see?? Apex doesn't even record the matches! We can't go back and replay the match to see the cheaters and collect actual proof!

I follow an Apex community on Facebook and we see reports of cheaters EVERYDAY with video and everything.
