Can FF@20 spree's be bannable if it's in a 5 man dynamic queue agreeing to the premise (40-60 games on the FFing account)

Aka intentionally losing games to screw your ELO to drop down the ladder to "pwn dem noobs" later on? Yeh, that is bannable.

Well, it's not trolling and doesn't break any of riot's rules on this, and current the only boosting method which is bannable (which makes sense) is account sharing, because banning smurfing is really something that many people wouldn't want compared to those who do.

There is precedent to this kind of situation on a mass scale, which Riot ended up addressing; if anyone on either team does not agree to someone throwing the match then it is not allowed and may be punished.

Normally this is something nobody would ever consider, because forfeiting is just part of the game and not typically abused. However, win trading became a problem during one of the Featured Game Modes and it was really unfun for the people that didn't agree to it (they would open mid to finish the game before surrender votes could be done).

While a Normal or Ranked SR match rarely has people doing things like this, if a group is doing it they are going to be susceptible to the same ruling. You have to ask though, who is this affecting? If there's no victim then I don't know if Riot would take action. If you think it is harmful enough to warrant a ban, then submit a Support Ticket under the I have a question > Game & Features > General Questions category.

It shouldn't be but I'm sure riot would find a way to ban them

What are the odds of ending up in queue where each game your team ff, like it would be a stretch to find more than 1 game in 5 where the team wants ff. imo
