With DQ being released and getting free chests because your premade got an S. Wasn't there some stream titled something like "Pay to get boosted" and a Rioter was watching? I heard something about that.
So what's Riot's opinion on this? I'm serious. Did they just not think about the fact your premades can earn you everything?
WngNut4 votesboosting is when someone goes on your account and plays as you to raise your elo, playing duo or more with other people and having them carry is not boosting nor is it breaking any rules. that's essentially their stand on it. they're not gonna say no you can't play with your friend because they're better than you after all. it's not exactly fair and the community seems to frown upon it, but it's not against the rules.
Void Nargacuga3 votesTo add on to this: If the player who got carried in such a way (via Duo Queue for example) goes back to playing solo they will most likely be WAY above their skill level and end up dropping down to their actual skill level. Whatever that may be.
Arakadia2 votesA smart player who was carried won't start playing solo. And Riot apparently thinks its fine premades can basically give their friends free hextech items and LP.
Thanks tho, this helped.
Arakadia2 votesAh ok. Still, there's alot of rewards premades can just give their friends for free. And Riot doesn't seem to think thats bad.
WngNut1 votesit's not as free as you think, chests have high cooldown times and can only be obtained once per champion per month, and while key fragments supposedly have a higher drop rate while you're in a premade I'll usually get 2, maybe 3 keys a month and I play almost exclusively in premades. you need to win to get the rewards but you also need a great deal of luck, so those being carried aren't getting as much as you think.

You can only get a chest per champ per season
WngNut1 votesah ok, my mistake, I think I mistook chests and key fragment drop rates. or I'm just wrong lol.
Skyslayer6301 votesBoosting is the only way to overcome these awful streaks of constant unending garbage teams. I dont know how or why it keeps happening. 6 trash teams in a row today. The kind of games where every lane dies in the first 3 minions waves and the game is over. After 6 of these games in a row today, I stopped playing. Because I know from past experience that if I keep playing they will just keep giving me this trash. I've been trashed out up to 17 games in a row. That is my record. 280 lp lost. When you get into one of these streaks, you have to get a friend to boost you for a couple games, then it resets "something" and you start getting normal teams that dont throw from the start.
