To those banned for boosting.
Riot spends the whole season reviewing these bans before they go out. There are very very few false positives.
And if they told you how they detected you, wouldn't you just avoid detection next time?

One false positive is one too many.
My theory is that they identified the DNA of a booster, rounded up all the accounts that formed a premade and played ranked with any of the accounts that matched the DNA of that booster and punished them.
Afterall, Riot did say they would crack down on the source of cheating more.
I never had anyone boost my account. I have been slowly grinding out rank and finally made gold this season after years of being stuck in bronze/silver after trying to be better. Then right after making it. I got this mmr boosting ban. I have no idea why I got selected with it. I've had lots of duo partners and friends I've played with over the season, but that's in the limit of duo queuing if that's the reasoning. None of the people I regularly duo with got hit with a ban. Just me. At the end of it all, it's just a game and I have next year. But way to make my entire climb feel worthless, and all the games I had to play to get there. After getting into high silver each year then placed into b5 no matter how good my placements were each season. I guess I'll just climb again. I enjoy the game. What an awful way to sour my experience of it though. I put in a support ticket and all I got was, yeah we detected someone artificially boosting your account. I have no way to prove I wasn't, and I have no idea how they decided to qualify me as someone who did but I just climbed up. Playing solo. Duo with friends. I have a consistently even winrate. I have 50% or higher on my top five played champions. I As a support main, and having finally made it. After games of consistently winning/smashing lane, and just being lucky enough that my team doesn't make a win impossible. Being accused of being boosted is insulting even. Sigh. Long rant. This season. 280W. 251L. My climb has been gradual. I get win streaks here and there, I'm pretty anyone who climbs successfully does. I have losing streaks just as much. I get stuck winning one, losing one repeatedly for long periods. It's just confusing to me to even understand what in the world this is. I've been a long time fan of the game, all the way back to season 4 now, and now I get stuck with this. What in the world riot.
I just want to ask how. 6 wins in a row or what? I just dont get it if they did say the specific dates and games they detected. These are the things we should and need to know for the ban.
Just saying.... losing ranked rewards for boosting is totally different than losing ranked rewards for a chat restriction that guts your honor.
Ranked rewards should be ranked rewards. you get them or dont for **earning **RANK.
Honor rewards should be honor. You get those or dont for going above and beyond to have good sportsmanship and be kind in game.
They are not one and the same. Exactly for reasons like this.
Give honor its own loading border and skin that I can be sad I didnt get because of a single chat restriction at the end of the season.... but ranked is a different beast.
You have literally nothing to support that there are few false positives. How do you feel so comfortable with pulling blatantly made up facts out of your ass? lol
