I am really worried

Pancake Puncher··1 votes·464 views

I think I just que'd up with boosters. And I am incredibly worried about it. I have been in a ranked MMR plummit lately and I often looked for people on LFDuoQ sites like duoq.net, and LolDuo, also Reddit from time to time. These sites to my knowledge are harmless and free so I don't pay no mind to the people I've met and I often meet people I really like and keep friendships going with. Unfortunately this time I think I played a few games with a booster because after about 5 to 6 games he started inviting random people and at one point he even said "Waiting on another booster" I quickly left and have no intention on playing anymore games with them.

But I just don't want to get punished for this. In the past I was flagged for sharing my acc with friends and ever since I have been incredibly cautious to never share my account. My account is very valuable to me and this season I have made a huge effort to climb my way out of bronze and to Gold 5. Playing tons of Vi and Shyvana jungle. Lately I have been filling/supporting in hopes to just win games to climb back up.

I spent some time reading lots of stuff on the internet in regards to the ToS of boosting and Duoing with people of high MMR. My issue is I read that if you are suspected to be associated with an account that is being boosted you too are at risk of getting banned. I did not add these people nor do I plan to and nor do I plan to play anymore games with them, it is not my intention to associate myself with boosters and it is definitely not my intention to be boosted!

I did suspect that the people/persons were of higher MMR due to some of the games we won, but I didn't think they'd be boosting accounts. I know smurfing is often a thing and many of my friends smurf from time to time, but by no means does anyone I know boost anyone!

If it is possible to shed some more light on the situation that would be awesome...

I am seriously just really cautious of what happens to my league account and do not wish to by punished for getting myself in a situation I was unaware of.

Thank you!

I also apologize if this is not the place for this post!

being boosted by a smurf is not against the rules. "sadly" the only time your account is at risk is if someone else is playing on it

The issue is I cant be sure they were just smurfing. What if they were playing on someone elses account boosting it and just playing with other people randomly in order to lower the MMR further or something?

You won't get ban, some guy on twitch was actually boosting people who so called DONATE to him and that is allowed since he isn't on their account. He was dynamic Q which some how Riot allows, some guy made a post about this long time ago and it wasn't against the rules.
