Confirmed? About twice. A wild guess? Hundreds probably.

It's hard to see, cause most boosters just get people to gold (and aren't that much higher than gold either). I had 2 diamond players log into an account and going something weird (1 was full AP Vayne, the other one Movespeed Wukong or smth). They still carried and confessed the boosting in the post game lobby.

It's really dependent on ELO, plus time of day/season, and a few other factors. If you are a player in high silver at the end of the season, you are bound to see more boosters trying to get accounts into gold for the end of season rewards, compared to say, someone in low plat.

I don't think theres really any way to know for sure. I can only think of maybe 2 or 3 times where someone was likely boosting, but even then it could just be a smurf playing on an old account.

If you cant tell that youre playing against a smurf theyre probably not a smurf. If youre in low ELO, youll know who the smurf is because theyll be stomping everyone. They may not win but youll know theyre not why their team lost.

Ive lost faith in riot, pretty sure they sell boosting. One has lost me two games in a row intentionally, the second game had a skype name for the summoner I think it was some QQ shit.

Ive played like over 3k ranked games last season

The system right now has these game qualities that are probably 20% of what ranked solo queue used to be. 50% of dynamic queue.

by that I mean it's 1/5 as good as it used to be because there are way more games that are forced losses.

riot doesnt ban challengers certainly not streamers (they're all boosted or cheated or cheat on occasion. Everyone literally scripts now btw. This is more noticeable when you are against/with chinese boosters. you could be against 2-4, you could ALSO have 2-4 in your team. If yuo have 8 then it is open mid ASAP (6 - 8 min is okay). They usually feed before the game ends, stall it out, a sure sign the match is 100% won already.

They are also getting smarter. Some LCS level ganks, champion select tricks.

The champion select trick gets me thinking. Maybe there could be a value at how many boosters you have. Caluclate your win rate with champion picks. Now isolate your own pick/game. The entire game literally revolves mostly around your early laning phase. get the right numbers and yuo can probably find out the boosters
