And now every Plat and Gold player is posting Boards adds to Help Silver and bronze players get out of their ranking to gold. Seriously riot you just messed up .

I mean s look at your boards I understand its not banable but this is Ridiculous now that players are freely asking to get "boosted" yes duo queueing is considered boosting when you're 12 ranks higher then the person you're with and getting them a easy win. when they normally couldn't.

I mean wow.

You guys just flat out admitted " here is what we ban, and so if we don't know about it we can't ban you"

so under the table people can pay to have others play their account or pay to get some one to carry them.

just as long as they don't verbally admit it like a fool then its ok cause how else re you going to find out the exchange of money for a service right?

seriously you guys messed up bad..

now you're ranking system is going to be even more of a joke for bronze and silvers cause of this issue.

slow clap

good game riot..

GG.

Whether there is money involved or not, account sharing is against the rules and you will be banned for MMR Boosting just the same. You don't need to verbally admit what's going on for them to determine someone else is on the account and take action. And no, we are not talking about duo queuing; there is nothing against the rules about playing with someone else, as the only restrictions are that they are within a certain number of divisions (depending on your rank) for Ranked play.

You didn't even provide a link to the comment in question.

A quick spell-check would be useful too.

Duoing is not against and they will not ban for it because the person being boosted is in the game. Playing on another person's account is against the rules and they will punish both players.

Of course if a person is not caught they will not be punished, that is how the world works, even outside of League.

The only way they could eliminate duo boosting would be if they made it against the rules to smurf.

Boosting vs. Game assistance.

Boosting is giving your credentials to be logged into and elk boosted.

Having someone higher Elo in your party isn't boosting

So selling an account is against the rules aswell?

people who fork out cash for boosting are likely to fork out money for rp.

if you think about it, both are just different expressions of of the same vanity

I was asked if I wanted to be boosted to plat from silver by a plat that found me on these boards. I said no. Sure I'll be silver and not plat, but I sure as hell want to earn that spot. Cheating takes all the fun out of winning.

While Necromancy may be handy (and sometimes needed) in video games, it's not the case for old forum threads. Please avoid using such magic and be mindful of how old threads are before posting.

Feel free to contact us at the Moderation Discord or at Discuss the Boards for any questions, comments or concerns about this. Thank you and have a good day.
