This guy has literally got a 13 win streak in elite and I’m spectating him and he’s literally landed at very edge of map and is just healing outside of circle an slowly walking in, I can’t quit my game or I lose my streak so am just watching to observe how pathetic he is. How do I report him cause this is so unfair

This is what was said in a 'check in' regarding 'piggy-backing':
"PIGGY-BACKING
Piggy-backing is when a player drafts off other players in the squad to carry them to a good position and level up faster but doesn't actually participate in the match [meaning they never collect a weapon, fire a shot, don’t deal any damage, etc]
We had been seeing some feedback from players around this and have been doing some internal investigations looking at game data to understand how many of the matches being played are affected by this behavior.
After looking at the data and internal discussions, we’ve decided that in the future we’ll start instituting temp bans for players that exhibit piggy-backing behavior and extreme cases could lead to a permanent ban. This change will not be immediate but wanted to give a heads up to players so you can adjust that behavior."

Without seeing what he's doing it's hard to say if he's breaking the rules.

Will get the recording off my pal who was in my squad at the time but just to clarify , he went solo and ditched us , when I died and spectated he was sitting at edge of map and just slowly walking forward and healing from ring damage . Got to last few squads and he was found and instantly killed so he had 0 damage but retained his streak which would now be 13 . This counts as piggybacking right? I know you can’t say for sure without seeing the recording , but just from what I’ve explained there could you give an answer as to if that counts as piggybacking? Thanks
