Boosted or bought accounts are bad right?

bronze 1 game, with a "plat" jungle yas.

very very much boosted account.

Goes from plat 5 jan. 1st to silver 5 in 20 days.

do these type of things get handled? or just some slap chat restriction?

Accounts that have been purchased or elo-boosted, and have been discovered as being so, will usually be immediately permabanned or severely restricted (14 day ban, all rewards stripped, loss of eligibilty for positive players campaigns treats and future rewards for a time frame) upon investigation.

If the player was carried through duo queue, but played every game getting there on his own account without the use of illegal programs or advantages, then this isn't punishable. Just frowned upon.

Hope this helps.

"boosted" in the way that you give someone your account yes. boosted in the way that the high elo guy has a smurf and duo q's with you no. i mean its still bad but not against the rules

Boosting punishment is an immediate 14 day ban and loss of all Ranked rewards for the current and prior seasons. If you know someone boosted, report it.

Boosted is going from a lower elo to a higher one, so I'm not sure how he would have been boosted down. Also, there was the rank reset when the season started
