There are too many players whose division is higher than their skill is

Sometimes when I'm playing ranked, I meet some really bad players. Not like bad players who just have a bad game, just really, really bad players. They are not only playing very horrible, but blaming others for their mistakes, also they don't know proper English, and they use words only bronzes and low silvers use (noob, idiot, etc.) We all met some of these players in normal games when we were playing with our newbie friends. But the sad thing that some of these players somehow get up to Plat and High Gold and that's a problem DuoQ should be banned from this game. I know the system tries to balance the game, so, for example if one person is G5 the other is G1 the elo they will be playing in will be G3, but that's not the solution. It may be bad for the G5, but the G1 is probably gonna carry it. Now you may be thinking, yeah, but the G5 will be a disadvantage. Well, if they are playing duo-botlane, he won't be, since playing support in duoQ...... I have seen insane amount of players who got dia/plat/gold by playing in duoQ and playing support all the time. Sometimes when I see posts of people in a League of Legends Facebook group, showing that they just reached plat and they cannot even spell properly, and I see that they were playing supp in an elo which is like 3 divisions lower, than platinum is pretty saddening for me. Also, the other day I was playing with this Zed who went 18/14, talking like a bronze and blaming his "noob team". I thought he's just probably like high silver who is duo-ing with his friend, but no. He was actually Gold 1, and looking at his match history, it was pretty obvious that he reached this rank by playing only duoQ with his friend who is way higher than he was. Sometimes I just think "yea boii gonna play a ranked hopefully i can get gold 2 today" but seeing these people who are far worse than me, but they are still in way better divisions is just saddening. I keep thinking "they will probably fall down, since the division they are in isn't the one they deserve" but the reality is that they won't fall down, since they will always have their duoQ partner Also it's insane that few years ago most people were in bronze. Literally only 20% of the players were Gold or higher But nowadays literally everyone is Gold. Few months ago it was very surprising when I was looking up 0/9 jungler-blamer players on op.gg, seeing they are Gold 5 0lp, but now I'm used to it.

I mean, boosting will always be a thing. Legal boosting - duoing with friends that are just a slightly higher rank than them. And not so legal boosting - paying outright for someone to boost them. It's disheartening but the best you can do is report them when you have solid evidence that they are being boosted and move on.

Also, just because a person can't speak english properly/type clearly doesn't mean they don't deserve a certain rank. Some people don't speak english well, it shouldn't affect how well they play the game? Not to mention, as much as you can say that they were carried to a higher elo (which can be the case sometimes), it gets progressively more taxing for the duo partner to continue to even out the game and play for both themselves and their duo partner. A good support will win a game, a bad support can lose a game. Specific roles are harder to get carried from, but it's possible.

Idk... I have seen bad players that are obviously boosted, but then again, some people are actually pretty good and having a really off day. -shrugs-

Also also also... just because you see someones match history and they have not so great scores (which I'm assuming you are using as your basis to say they were getting carried) doesn't mean that the person didn't make macro play winning decisions. I've seen plenty of toplaners "carry" the game but go 0/5/2 because they were just splitpushing and becoming a terror for the team they played against.

Yes, everyone has bad days and bad games but the Zed I was talking about in my post was definitely just bad. I mean, he literally ran into an 1v5, used an ult on a full tank, died, then told all chat to report his noob team Making a very bad play is okay, but the second part really shows how bad he is.

Also the higher elo you are, the better english speakers there are

Once my bronze V friend gave his account to me, and I played 8 games I didn't even see ONE person who could speak proper english. Everyone was just talking in the basic bronze language like "report idiot jungle" and "gank me noob" and etc. They couldn't form a normal proper sentence Whenever I told them why they suck and why they are bronze they just told me i'm an idiot noob, lol

I mean... yes and no? I know plenty of people that don't speak very good english that are high diamond. Also, there's a difference between bad and trolling. You sure zed wasn't just trolling you? xD

Paying someone to play with you to boost you isnt even against the rules. The only boosting thats "illegal" is someone playing on your account. I agree with everything else including your last point. I main support and have won plenty of games off either sacrificing myself or baiting out ult's before a teamfight.

I'm sorry that's what I meant. I was in a rush to get to work

That's weird. I thought this game was full of players who deserve a much higher rank :^)

Players are matched based on their MMR, not based on their ranked division.
