Is it possible to report someone for having a bought account.

Bought accounts are obvious in many ways. They're in diamond but get beat up pretty bad in normals against silvers and bronze players who have been in silver/bronze for 100+ games. If you look at their ranked match history itll generally always look something like this:

Game 1 Ranked Team 7/16/2015 Game 2 Ranked Team 7/16/2015 Game 3 Ranked Team 7/09/2015 Game 4 ranked(Draft Mode): Almost always a support champion: 7/06/15 Game 5 Ranked Team 7/04/2015 Game 6 Ranked Team 7/04/2015 Game 7 Ranked Team 7/04/2015 Game 8 Ranked Team 7/01/2015 Game 9 Ranked Team 7/01/2015 Game 10 Ranked Team 7/01/2015 Game 11 Ranked Team 6/27/2015 Game 12 Ranked Team 6/14/2015 Game 13 Ranked Team 6/14/2015 Game 14 Ranked Team 6/14/2015 Game 15 Ranked Team 6/10/2015 Game 16 ranked(Draft Mode): Almost always a support champion: 6/08/15 Game 17 Ranked Team 6/09/2015 Game 18 Ranked Team 6/09/2015 Game 19 Ranked Team 6/05/2015 Game 20 Ranked Team 6/05/2015 Game 21 Ranked Team 6/01/2015 Game 22 Ranked Team 6/01/2015 Game 23 Ranked Team 6/01/2015 Game 24 Ranked Team 5/25/2015 Game 25 Ranked Team 5/25/2015 Game 26 Ranked Team 5/25/2015 Game 27 Ranked Team 5/19/2015 Game 28 ranked(Draft Mode): Almost always a support champion: 5/10/15 Game 29 Ranked Team 5/05/2015 Game 30 Ranked Team 5/05/2015 Game 31 Ranked Team 5/05/2015 Game 32 Ranked Team 5/05/2015 Game 33 Ranked Team 5/05/2015 Game 34 Ranked Team 5/05/2015 Game 35 ranked(Draft Mode): 5/03/15 Game 36 ranked(Draft Mode): 5/03/15 Game 37 ranked(Draft Mode): 5/03/15 Game 38 ranked(Draft Mode): 5/03/15 Game 39 ranked(Draft Mode): 5/03/15 Game 40 ranked(Draft Mode): 5/03/15 Game 41 ranked(Draft Mode): 5/03/15 Game 42 ranked(Draft Mode): 5/03/15 Game 43 ranked(Draft Mode): 5/03/15 Game 44 ranked(Draft Mode): 5/03/15 Game 45 ranked(Draft Mode): 5/02/15 Game 46 ranked(Draft Mode): 5/02/15 Game 47 ranked(Draft Mode): 5/02/15 Game 48 ranked(Draft Mode): 5/02/15 Game 49 ranked(Draft Mode): 5/02/15 Game 50 ranked(Draft Mode): 5/02/15 Game 51 ranked(Draft Mode): 5/02/15 Game 52 ranked(Draft Mode): 5/02/15 Game 53 ranked(Draft Mode): 5/02/15 Game 54 ranked(Draft Mode): 5/02/15 Game 55 ranked(Draft Mode): 5/02/15

This makes it obvious that they are playing their one game per 28 days to keep from decaying and most likely these ranked team games are tryouts and the team realizes that its not their real rank which is why there are generally only 2-3 ranked team games on the same day. The massive back to back solo ranked games are probably when the real diamond+ player was ranking the account up. This is just what their match history looks like if you separate it into ranked only games. If you look at all together they mostly play normals and generally are getting carried by low elo players. I mean there has to be a way to report them. I mean no one would willingly admit into in game chat that they bought their account or had it boosted so what proof would I need to submit to have the account seriously looked at other their suspect match history.... I feel like if an account gets reported for being boosted or bought then riot should be obligated to check the ip address for when the account was actually climbing vs the ip address being used now.

That doesn't mean that they are elo boosted. If they reached the rank they wanted to achieve for example diamond V, and they prefer to play normals (or ranked team in this case), then its natural that they just play 1 game each month because who the fuck wants to decay??

If they got to their elo by playing support or any other specific role, and in normals they play a completely different role, then it makes sense that they perform less. I recently saw someone getting flamed at in the aftermatch chat because he was challenger and fed with twisted fate jungle against high plat/low dia in a normal game. He was accused of having bought his account on ebay. Seriously? He's playing a non-meta champ, probably doesn't even main jungle, having fun in normal games, appearantly he had also drunk before that game which worsened his decision-making and reaction time (he said that after the accusations).

So please, don't falsely accuse people of ebay'ing. You don't have the whole picture. You only see hints and you can't jump to conclusions based on them.

No these accounts were carried to diamond in carry positions. They generally did well in ranked. Usually carried or went even. In normals against silvers and bronze players they fed their a**es off. Not just a little either or every once in awhile. every game. One of these players has only not fed horribly in one of his last 40 games and they game I'm pretty sure he afkd because he was 0/2/0 with starting items. Both accounts when ranked was being spammed one account mained eve jungle and played mid and top/other jungles every once in awhile. but 1:3 games was eve and half of what was left was ahri and in the two games hes played since may 5th were both braum support. But he never plays support otherwise unless hes playing one of his soloq draft games. I actually checked some of the teams he played with(yes Im bored and have nothing else to do) all are high elo teams and hes not on any of them anymore. So once again both accounts, when ranked was being played regularly, played carry/high influence positions and generally did well. Now when they play soloq(two games in two months for one game in one month on the other) they play support roles and do horribly. 40 minute games with less then 12 assists and less then 20 wards placed on a support. Both accounts also feed a lot in extremely low elo(sub gold) normal games. Even playing champions that the person who climbed it into diamond did well on. So once again all evidence points to a bought or boosted account.

If you feel like someone is boosting or is being/has been boosted/bought you can submit a Support Ticket and they'll investigate it.

What to I set as the category?

Deep Terror Nami1 votes

It's mostly irrelevant because they forward it to the appropriate department, just make your best guess because there is no category for reporting cheaters. I'd probably do Game and Features > General Questions.

Thats what I figured. I just ended up doing Technical Support > In Game Issues lol.

You have problems and care too much about strangers.

Anyways... Just because you don't play ranked and are okay with doing nothing but playing hecarim in normals, thus not having to deal with it doesnt mean people arent affected by it. Also like I said these players with boosted/bought accounts almost always play support on their once a month game me being an adc main almost always got the worst of it. My main is plat 1 and these players are the reason I only play ranked on it if I have my duo support playing with me. But generally that doesnt even help because then we have a silver/bronze player either laning or jungling against a high plat/low diamond player and they almost always feed. So since I like to play ranked yes I hope everyone reports every suspected boosted account and these people can learn the life lesson of having the $100+ they spent wasted. I dont even want riot to permanently ban them. I think a 2 week ban, being placed in bronze 5 and having 10 or less LP gain per win and 20+ LP loss per game until they reach the elo they were boosted too is reached and getting their account flagged to have a highly increased chance of getting last pick every game.

Edit: I know once a month(Which is generally but some play more) doesnt seem like a lot. But I'm sure there are thousands if not 100s of thousands(or more) of people with these accounts which means odds are at any given moment there is probably someone playing one of these games. Because even if they werent bought you still have your legit diamond adc who duo carried their IRL bronze friend into diamond who isnt scared to play ranked because their friend will carry them back if they drop elo. Its bad enough getting these players I would prefer not to play with the ones who paid to screw other peoples games as well.

You shouldn't assume things or be so intrusive as to google anyone in an attempt to flame them. I've played ranked on my other accounts which now don't exist. I just do not need that bullshit and stress.

How was I flaming you? I was simply stating that because you play league in a manner that you dont have to deal with boosted account(youll run into them but only if their normal mmr is the same as yours) then you don't really have the right to criticize me on the fact that I have an issue with them. I didnt flame you for only playing hecaraim. If thats what you enjoy then cool beans. But I like ranked and these players are ruining it for me. Just because you are passive aggressive and would rather quit playing ranked then attempt to fix or resolve whatever issues you had with ranked doesn't give you the right to tell me not to do what ever I can to fix my issue with ranked.
