Playing ranked in Apex Legends is a way for players to hone their skills. Season 3 of Apex Legends also came with a new point system for their ranked play. After a few weeks in Worlds Edge players found a way to leave the game and keep their RP. This would allow them to evade penalties and continue climbing the ranked ladder. A way to trick the game into thinking you crashed known as ‘dashboarding’. Well, players who utilize this will face a Judgement Day for dashboarding in Apex Legends Ranked Play.
Senior Systems Designer for Apex Legends Eric ‘Ghost’ Hewitt commented on twitter about the subject.
@GH057ayame @lowkeydbjosh @PlayApex Is there an official way to report players for dashboarding in ranked? I have lots of video evidence.

hey, no need to report it manually, we can see it on our end. Judgment Day will be coming 🙂

Immediate bans for this action seem more appropriate but we are assured that it is being handled.
there will be more immediate punishment in the future, just have to get everything lined up appropriately. We care deeply about the ranked experience, so things will be handled soon

For those who are worried that crashes will be logged as dashboarding are safe. Developers can see it on their end the difference. As of right now there is no set date for when Judgement Day comes to Apex Legends. Players that continue dashboarding have been warned. Many are hoping that punishments will come before the first qualifiers but it still remains to be seen if they will.
