How long does it take for reporting a booster/boosted person to get action taken?

I've sent a ticket with picture proof of someone getting boosted around a week ago. I've gotten responses that they'll "look keep track of -player- activity" and "ill pass this information around". Just curious to how long it may take for a proper action to be taken

Boosted accounts, botting/scripting, and similar types of offenses tend to receive bans in waves. Sometimes a few months after the actual offense.

That's to try and keep scripters guessing as to how detection works.

I've also seen ban waves tend to go out at the same time as end-of-season rewards. I'm guessing it's to avoid rescinding rewards on offending accounts, and to avoid a spike in people who tank games to ruin other people's chances for rewards (there's already players with behavioral bans who do that).

I also sent in an obvious booster boosted guy and check every day to see if he's banned. Not yet, been more than 2 weeks...

He changed his summoner spells, went from normals to ranked, played only Nasus and Yasuo, and climbed from Silver 3 to Gold 5 and stopped playing ranked then switched his summoners back.

You cant ban someone playing on a new account playing with a friend getting them into gold. As long as people are playing on their own accounts.

By "getting boosted", do you mean queuing up with a booster on premade or handing out the account's password for the booster to play with it? Because if it's the former then there's nothing they can do.

I have sent tickets with proof of hate speech toxic players. Riot Support doesn't really care.

Riot has access to much more data that would conclusively prove boosting than we do as summoners. If they have not taken action, it's because no action was warranted at this time.
