Not enough data, its not unheard of for people to just do placements, then wait until the end of the season to grind out their old rank. Would need more previous or future data to determine if thats suspicious, not just the data from this season.

Edit: Some people also just don't play ranked as often as they should, the fact it's been in masters for three months kinds of means something. If you don't play in that tier for 10 days then you lose 100 LP a week, so because its staying at about the right level then they probably do deserve it or someone is playing on it for them, either way no way to tell, would be alot more obvious if the master rank tanked all of a sudden.

And? That means nothing. I can be Challenger but only play a few games a season, will still be gold. The only way to tell is if the graph tanks all of a sudden for no reason, which it hasn't.

VoldymortJul 17, 20181 votes

so far you're only countering the "boosted" argument. not the "bought" one. because if it was bought by a master then it will never tank.

No smart master player would buy an account, too much risk of someone getting it reported as stolen, or stealing it back somehow. They also don't need to buy accounts.

Also thanks for the down votes.

i'm sure they'd all be thrilled to have you talk for them about what they would or wouldn't do...

tyler1 did it all the time so it wouldn't be exagerated to assume that he wouldn't be the only one doing it...

too much risk of someone getting it reported as stolen, or stealing it back somehow.

i'm sure that risk exists with all accounts that are stolen or bought. and yet people are still doing it. your point is moot

They also don't need to buy accounts.

low elo level 30 accounts are quite cheap. why bother with the level 30 grind when you can spend your 8th grade lunch money equivalent on a second hand one? :P

Also thanks for the down votes.

i didn't want to bother with it but you started doing it so it only seemed fair

Tyler1 also had like... what? 19 perma-banned accounts? Yeah, TOTALLY smart. In fact, that's literally mostly why people buy accounts, to avoid leveling to 30 after getting perma banned. So, yeah. Others do indeed do it. But it's not very smart if they're getting perma-banned honestly. Not by a long shot.

But, ya'know.

Also, @OP I can't down vote. So good fun admitting to being malicious towards me for no reason.

VoldymortJul 17, 20181 votes

I can't down vote.

right...

malicious

so... "downvotes are malicious"?

[zombie-brand-facepalm]

they're just downvotes. apart from transmitting the message "i disagree with this" , they don't mean anything. or do you believe that the ideea of someone disagreeing with you is being malicious?

you havent seen those bronze to challenger/master youtube series?

multiple youtubers do them. and how exactly do they get placed in bronze to begin with? ive leveled 3 to 30 and every one has been placed in silver 3 or 4 and i suck.

When I changed this account to my main, it was silver a season or two ago and did placements and grinded to D1 in just a few months which was my rank that’s season on the pervious account. Could very well be a smurf account going main account for a better MMR. Happens all the time, I have an acct in plat 5, gold 3, and a bronze 5 funlo account for flex.

He’s also master with LP, I couldn’t stay in master for more than 4 days no way he boosted it. Hard Elo to stay in unless you earn it, and play at that level

Not enough data. It’s actually fun to start a new ladder, I’m a casual these days haven’t really been playing ranked I’m prbly garbage atm

Lucian WaifuJul 17, 20183 votes

To boost from mid silver to master would cost thousands of dollars and the dude would have already fallen out of masters. This is a bought account because of the ability to stay in master for 3 months.

Could be a smurf account.

VoldymortJul 17, 20181 votes

it doesn't explain why he was gold in season 4, silver in 5, bronze in 6 and silver in 7 and then BOOM! silver to diamond in a month

What? Pretty simple he played low elo for a few seasons and decided to just go to diamond with the account? unless you got something else like his games that it shows hes being boosted then i don't see anything wrong with this account.

VoldymortJul 17, 20181 votes

he plays low elo for a few seasons and then he decides to go to diamond with the account...and he does it in a month even tho he struggled in silver for 4 years...right...makes total sense...

[zombie-brand-facepalm]

LeagueOfShadeJul 17, 20182 votes

You can't say he struggled. He could have easily just not played ranked. Believe it or not stomping people gets boring after a while. It's end of season and he could have finally wanted a border for all we know.

VoldymortJul 17, 20181 votes

He could have easily just not played ranked.

if he didn't play, everything that happened before april would have been on a flat line. that line is anything but flat

It's end of season and he could have finally wanted a border for all we know.

the end of season is in late autumn. the climbing took place in april. if you're going to make a point, at least try to have it make sense...

[zombie-brand-facepalm]

You're not showing any games what so ever aside from a graph. If he is a smurf in low elo hes obviously not going to try in his games so he can stay there and get better Q times than he would in Diamond or higher. Unless you have any other evidence to show hes a boosted then you are just blowing smoke at this point over nothing you cant seem to prove.

DenevielJul 17, 20181 votes

Time will eventually tell the truth ... If he got silver//gold's skills then he will feed the hell out in Master tier dropping fast and if he avoid to play ranked the system will eventually kick him back in the ladder.

So if in 50-60 days he will drop too much we will know if he got boosted

VoldymortJul 17, 20182 votes

what if it's a bought account?

TormentulaJul 17, 20181 votes

Unless that man really wanted victorious morgana, nobody is going to buy a silver/bronze/gold account just to level it.

If somebody wants to smurf, they would buy level 30 accounts instead with fresh MMR and get gold right out of placements.

i know several facebook account trading groups that would disagree with you

I think the whole bought prob it's a bit of an esageration since if he isn't a problem for his teammates then he just dropped few $ to skip those first 30 levels and get some legacy skins

Boosting, on the other hand, puts stress and frustation on the ppl you will eventually play with and should be an instaban.

Said so, if you can't find your own peace, contact the RIOT support. They have track of the log in address and can found out if it's boosted, bought or just a guy that decided he wants the border

VoldymortJul 17, 20181 votes

Said so, if you can't find your own peace,

it's not about my peace. i just thought i'd see what others think of it.

contact the RIOT support. `

did that 3 weeks ago. he is either in the clear or riot decided to save him for the next wave of bans(whenever that may be...)

If he is still here that can just mean that there are no abnormal activity with his log-in schedule and this account was prob a M-Tier smurf. It's quite possible that he sold his main acc or it got banned and now he is plaing on this one.

TrulyBlandJul 17, 20181 votes

What do you guys think?

That it's suspicious. Nothing more nothing less. This picture is simply not enough to form a definitive opinion on whether that account is boosted or bought. Even if I would be surprised if this was an account that was neither of the two, there are a lot more factors to consider. "Suspicious" and "guilty" are not synonyms.
