Boosting and smurfing is allowed guys, so go for it

Last night I just wrote a ticket to RIOT, because I had an obvious smurfer on the opponent team who ruined the experience for everyone, and look what I've been told by this beautiful communitty:

NEVERLASTINGDTH August 31st 2019, 1:14:13 pm Hello my friend,

I'm sorry to hear about your negative experience in that game. I see that your report is mostly for smurfing.

The thing about smurfing is that, while we don’t endorse it, it's allowed in the game, as no player is restricted to playing on a single account.

We do agree that smurfing can really ruin the game, such as when a smurf stomps lower-tier players and, for this reason the system is designed to identify smurfs and match them with other smurfs. Usually, smurf accounts climb the ranks very fast and thus get to their appropriate rank quite fast.

If that player was smurfing or he just had a very lucky game, we can't know, but again, smurfing is not punishable.

I hope you aren't too disappointed by my answer and, if you need anything else, feel free to drop by again. I wish you all the best !

Best Regards, NeverlastingDTH

Based on that, this "awesome" company doesn't give a shiet about the real experience of the players, all they care about is having tons of kids playing for their skins and RP. Hence why they punish someone who flames and tells them to uninstall the game but a smurfer can live hapily ever after, cause a kid who uninstalled a game can't buy their stuff anymore, even if it trolls your game and ints.

What can I say, this proves me one more time how much garbage is in this communitty (especially staff wise).

Later Edit: Based on a few answers that I've got below who couldn't understand my frustration, I'll attach my ticket as well, where I clearly tell them about BOOSTING.

MEEHIGH August 30th 2019, 10:46:33 pm It's the first time when I am doing a ticket, and this just tells you how badly my experience was ruined by this player. He was boosting the account on purpose, bragging on the all chat with lines like "oh guys, please stop" and ruining the whole game by playing in this division. Just by having a look through the match history you can tell that somebody else in playing the games lately, but the match that I had (where he was Gangplank) completely gives him away. The KDA, the farm per minute and the other games are clearly a proof towards my case. I would appreciate if you would take time to investigate this and to punish him by banning his account. Players like this are 100 times much worse than a player who is flaming in a game, cause at least you can play that game with a hope that you might still win the game, while when you play against a smurf like this, your chances are below zero. Thank you for your time.

P.S: Elise is his duo partner in all this, so both of them are doing the same thing. The Elise name was B******

  1. There is not a single word about boosting being allowed, so there you have misleading header
  2. Smurfs ruin experience for a while, but they get placed on more-or-less their mmr quite fast. Flamers also ruin experience for everyone and will do it until they are banned(and after that they will make new accounts, to flame and smurf at the same time)

Okay, since I've got 2 replys on the same subject, I'll attach my ticket as well:

Heads up, including the name of the Elise is against the board's rules, so you might wanna edit that out.

These are pretty consistent stats going back a week. There is no spike in quality of performance.

If it really was a boost, well, sucks. Rito have some way of checking boosts and banning both boosted account and the account of the booster himself, but it doesn't seem to work all the time.

He never once said anything about boosting, which is absolutely not allowed. Smurfing they can't really stop though since people can have multiple accounts and he even said they aren't against that, so it's going to happen. Doesn't happen every single game though.

Smurfing is allowed, yes, but I don't know how you got the impression that boosting is allowed, provided you're using the correct definition of boosting. Boosting is when someone else plays your account in order to get you to a higher rank. Duoing with a friend who happens to be on a smurf account? Not boosting, as long as you both own the accounts you're playing on.

The whole purpose of the ticket was for boosting and smurfing. The guy that I've reported clearly boosted someone else's account, based on the match history.

Oh. That seems like information that should have been in the original post.

I've edited and I've put in my ticket as well.

I used the term Boosting recently rather then Coaching/Carrying and got a post removed + warning. Seems to support your definition here.

We've known this since the game was created.

yeh boosting is hard on lower ranked players, but you should look at improving rather than straight winning.

MeeHigh1 votes

Trust me, after you're being teamed up with feeders and trolls and on top of that you get a match like I had, you don't give a f**k about improving anymore and it puts you on the edge. Even if I would have treated the situation the way like you said, it's still against the rules and it's a punishable offence.
