You can't stop boosting service, but you can stop unsportsmanlike players become boosters.
Hello all friends,
This is my first time posting something on the forum, it's a decision i made after thinking a lot.
The story below is completely true and actually just happened before this article was posted. Our protagonist is my little brother, who can't speak well English and have no idea what a forum is. He was crying so hard after that game, and i, as a elder brother, stood up and posted this article.
There are a lot of boosters and a lot of boosted account, we all know that. Me personally as a platinum-ranked player, don't see that much boosters in platinum division, but in bronze and silver, it is a totally different story. My brother was in Bronze 3, he really likes League of Legends, everytime after school he went into his room and plays LOL. His favorite champion is ZED, he thinks Zed is cool and he plays the champion really well. Today he was queuing up with one of his best friend, a Silver4 player. Than when they got into the champion selection screen, a player called "jeenXXXXXXX1" typed in the chatting box : mid. And claim that mid is his role. "Oh crap" My brother said, and he told me about it, so i went to see the monitor. Clearly, my brother was the one got mid. Than an unexpected move were made by "jeenXXXXXXX1", he banned my brother's lebanc, my brother literally has it showed on the screen. But than one of the player seems to be disconnected from the server so the game was canceled, when me and my brother were cheering for got rid of a troller, my brother got into another game with the same people, "jeenXXXXXXX1". This time, he and another player, "blood XXX XXX", together, were ORDERING my brother to be a sup instead of mid(my brother got mid once again). They were talking like they are two gods looking down on all the human beings like they are looking at trash. My brother felt offended, but he still gets his Zed so he kept playing. But when i saw that "jeenXXXXXXX1" is using Kayle as sup, i know they are not done.
I was right, "jeenXXXXXXX1" went to Mid lane, directly without type in a single word in the chat screen. My brother said to me,"it's just another troller, i will handle it". Than the minions spawned, my brother is really good at cs especially with his Zed, so Kayle always failed on stealing my brother's cs. Than this Kayle got piss off, and when towards the opponent's turrent, gave a free first blood to the other mid lane. After while he fed the second one, than the third one... Not just this, he went to other lanes and fed the other opponents' champions, and he even type "don't steal my cs zed, if you don't and go bot be a sup, i will start playing". Later as everybody imagined, he afked. And his friend "blood XXX XXX", he was verbal abusing through the whole game to his teammates, but try to be as friendly as he could to the opponents, when my brother asked the opponent players to report "jeenXXXXXXX1" and "blood XXX XXX", "blood XXX XXX" acts like he is innocent and not guilty at all. Well I'm pretty sure the opponent knows who to report since they feed at least 8 kills to the opponents, and Kayle hasn't showed up in 10 min on their map(he literally typed "fire alarm" and afk...). In the game, Blood-Draven-XXX XXX and jeen-Kayle-XXXXXXX1 were behaving like they are just better than you, though i can see their skill are definitely not Silver, their manner are absolutely lower than pre-school. "Blood XXX XXX" even once said "this is my game, i can ks whatever and whenever i want", and "jeenXXXXXXX1" said "we can decide the game, we are better than you".
I mean, sure you are better than maybe all Silver players, but so what, if you keep that attitude in real life who would like to become your friend?
For you guys who is still reading, thank you for your patient and kind. To be honest, and i'm not afraid to say this, i was once a booster when i was still in China. I usually boosted bronze, silver and gold players. I've seen real messy situation where 4 of my teammates were paid to act like they just get into this game for one day or an extremely short time period, in a gold ranked game. Even though i've been through that, and this time is not even happening on myself, i feel more anger and helpless than in China. I always thought that NA server has a better environment than China, and i can see that in platinum and diamond ranked games, everybody are cooperating with each other and try their best to win games. But i wasn't expecting something like this in a lower ranking game from NA server. I mean, boosting happens all the time, it can't be stopped i get that. But i don't get why their are people, like "jeenXXXXXXX1" and "blood XXX XXX", total unsportsmanlike(i don't want to swear on a public forum, but i am really pissed off rn) players can do whatever they want on an account that doesn't even belongs to them(in the post game screen, when my brother was crying, i chat with "blood XXX XXX", he claim he is diamond 1, but tbh, i don't believe it)? When you reporting the account, first you don't know if it would actually work, second you feel bad because you know this aren't their real account, so they probably don't care but the real owner of the account paid money and get banned...
I post this article just want to tell all summoners in League of Legends, all sportsmanlike and responsible summoners that are fighting in summoner's rift,: me, as a former booster, and has stop boosting others account for 3 years, and has played LOL and love it for 5 years, that after all these things, i finally have a statement, that we might not be able to stop boosting services, but if we try hard enough, we can stop or at least decrease the unfair and nonsportsmanlike behaviors from some of the players that don't have the proper manner and are irresponsible for what they are doing and what they did.
My poor little brother got demoted to Bronze 4 because of that game, he tried so hard to get to Bronze 3. Now that he said he is done with League of Legends, i feel like i wanted to do something for him but i can't, besides pressing the report button on two random accounts that probably don't belong to the real criminals.
For who is still reading, thank you for your patient and kindness, i hope you can have a smooth trip on the way to Challenger.
-By a normal high school student who loves his brother and League of Legends and hates all the injustice behaviors happens in life.
Ironically Kayle is such a justice chmpion, and still being used to do these bad things.
