Boosting in 2k19

Nexof·May 5, 2019·1 votes·3,516 views

So, short story . I am a friend with someone whos getting boosted , first by duoing but i guess the booster realised she's heavy to carry he used her own account . We realised it wasnt her playing because she used to have bad kda on usual supp and unless she became faker in one night there was no way she can katarina/riven mid with more than 15 kills and less than 4 deaths. Now bare with me .. we know the booster he's in high plat and he played with us few normals with his smurfs and he did say he boosts acc for money ,and she keeps saying that her jump from b3 to s1 was just her changing roles and carrying . Dramas aside we made her play kata and exactly she showed us the glorious 2/14 gameplay. I was reminded with this story when i went to my soloq today and admittedly our mid was boosted/ bought account . Honestly its ruining the experience , its not fun if u dont pick up the tricks by urself and its not all about the elo. Right ?

This is reportable and is punishable. Boosting is literally against the rules.

Idk if it will be a perma or a 2 week ban.

burden of proof is on Rito, not you. When you call 911 to say you saw something illegal, burden of proof is not on you either (unless you doing it repeatedly just to waste police resources).

I guess thats true somehow, whats annoying is that she denies it all and above all she refuses to play with us so we dont find out.

It's really not something anyone is proud of. Let me ask you a question. Is your friendship with her worth more or less than you being right and that she admitted to getting boosted? Because if you keep pushing it, it will likely end the friendship (it would for me). Personally, friendships is more important than being able to hang "boosting" over someone's face and say "Na na nananana". But that's just me.

If you want some unsolicited advice, drop the whole boosting thing (quietly submit a support ticket if you feel strongly about it. Don't tell anyone), never mention boosting with her again, and only play Normal mode with her. Or remove her from your friend list, submit a support ticket on her, and move on with your life without her. It won't end well for either of you if you keep pushing her about boosting and force her to play with you to prove something and you'll end up being removed from her friend list anyway. You did called her a "friend" after all and not just rando you happened to play with.

Actually what makes me sad is that 3 of us are coaches for better gaming experience.. so since she was complaining abt being bad we decided even after her playing 5 seasons we'll coach her few tricks so she would enjoy the game again .

I didn't say what should be done. I'm just saying that this is against the rules and punishable.

For all i know, your friend doesn't even play Riven and Katarina mid and goes 10/0 but when you see for yourself she goes 2/14. That's a potential proof right here not to mention that you were told by some dude that he boosts for money. I don't know if these are solid enough to be a proof for riot to take actions.
