"Reverse boosting" can get you banned in Advance Warfare
Reverse Boosting is where players intentionally commit suicide over and over again in a match to drop their skill level, securing weaker opposition in the next match so they can dominate. This enables the player to improve his/her ranking quicker than they would by playing fair.
“On a separate topic, we’ve also heard questions about our banning policy, particularly as we’ve seen players using “reverse boosting” with excessive suicides in online matches driving a lot of frustration within the community,” Condrey wrote in a blog post. “Playing at home, I’ve been randomly matched with players doing this and it’s incredibly frustrating to lose based largely on my team being down a contributing teammate. We’ve also had a lot of players bring up their same concern about playing in matches with these players.
“No one wants to lose an objective based match by effectively being outnumbered while their teammate shoots grenades into their own forehead 100 times in the corner. It’s not right, and it hurts you and your team’s online experience. Call of Duty is both social and competitive, and we respect and honor that. Part of the competition that is core to our values is that players do not adversely degrade their team’s ability to compete fairly. It’s not dissimilar from the bans that cheaters and boosters receive, and we have increased our focus on reverse boost banning to combat the growing issue.
“No one is trying to restrict the fun factor of playing Advanced Warfare with this policy, nor are we actively banning against particular styles of play, like trick shots. However, we have a low tolerance approach to people who ruin the experience for others through cheating, boosting, reverse boosting or being caught with toxic emblems in game. We don’t like seeing any of these happen, and we’re pushing to eliminate these behaviors from the game.”
So if you're using this method you should probably stop now, because Sledgehammer is watching.

RIAA The sooner these dumbass devs stop banning people for the slightest things, the better.
I know I'm not the only one who refuses to play any CoD newer than MW2 for this reason.
MW3 and up are an IW banfest which I refuse to be a part of.
it makes sense. Only a noob who can't handle fighting more challenging players would do something like this. You deserve to be banned if you wish to work around a matchmaking system so you can get easy wins on newer/noob players that are more of a noob then the scrub abusing the system.

Katt I honestly quit playing call of duty because it was too easy. Even with "Skilled matchmaking" half the kids I would play against were brain dead.
yep, its just not a challenge these days.

HovaWisp They are the players who honestly don't care about the game, I don't blame them.
Trickshotters try and do suicide shots all the time. They do care about the game. FaZe members have recently been getting banned for this.
FaZe seriously have been getting banned for trickshotting? Since when?

Well I was banned on black ops 2 for boosting but wouldn't think they would stop the banning.
