Help me understand one thing

how come that an account that is in silver and has over 90% winrate isn't inmediately banned?

I understand that a player might learn quickly, I even understand that you might have made some mistakes on your placement games so you got placed a whole rank below, but how does a silver player suddenly obtains diamond mechanical skill? like seriously, a yasuo timing their ult with windwall and ADCs who orbwalk perfectly?

I'm a regular player who reached gold at the beginning of the season and I admit that my level is gold 5 at best, I got demoted heavily because I keep finding these people who seem to be WAY better at the game than I am, again, even though I'm below my best rank I keep getting matched against people who is heaps above my skill level... and not like "oh, I can orbwalk a bit better than you" no, it's more like "Even if I try, I can't stop orbwalking" and then you check their profile and they have like 20 games with the same score and adaptable builds O.o?

Doesn't having a bunch of games with crazy KDAs, CS and even wards tells you anything about a silver player? Is learning a switch that people have?

OBVIOUSLY NOT

Learning is a curve and people who improves ends up climbing but that's the point, how does a silver player suddenly jumps to diamond skill level?

Either smurfs OR boosters and the whole point of this thread is: Why is it that these type of accounts still remain active after so long? I understand that it's hard to prove but how many fair games will they skew in their favor?

why? because this entire season has been an elaborate joke. Majority of the league population is in bronze-silver. You can dynamic queue with up to 4 other people from bronze to platinum. Eloboosting using this method is LEGAL. Since competitive integrity has dropped and theres no incentive for higher elo players to play at their own elo (long queue times), smurfing has been so common this season.

that's why I think Riot should take actions on the matter, smurfs should not be legal.

Also, boosting is not all that bad since you can't queue with people over 2 ranks above or below, the real problem is the smurfs.
