The elo boosting seems to be out of control with this game.I have played so many people who were either plat or gold last season have ZERO idea how to play the game. I understand everyone has bad games now and then, but its clear as day these people really just don't know what is going on. They walk around and seem confused like a person in bronze or even a what new player would look like. I know the difference between having a bad game and someone who just has no idea what is going on. I would assume if you were plat last season you know the basics of the game, but nope half these plat 5s or even golds don't even know the basics.

Hey now. I might be a bronzie, but I'm not a fucktard. I just don't invest time to climb.

But yeah, I'd really like to see Riot implement something to catch out and punish boosters. The trouble being I'm not sure how that would work. Most of the systems along that line are designed to catch unauthorized access, they don't work here. Maybe the system could flag people who make extremely sudden and large gains in ranked after stalling out or failing promos too many times. That may cause false positives with people on hotstreaks though. Hmmmm....

i have a hypothesis that some people do get to plat by playing a ton and getting somewhat lucky. because i've seen some plat borders play like absolute bronzes. or they ate way too many brownies
