Riot SERIOUSLY needs to crack down on accounts that are boosted

It is not hard at all to discover if an account is boosted or not, and it absolutely fucking DESTROYS the game for players that have worked hard to climb where they are or are stuck in a certain spot because they keep getting unlucky teammates (and no this isn't an "i keep getting shit teams" rant) . I'm talking about the actual players up in D5 who are legitimately boosted and its not hard to tell whatsoever. Having a boosted player on your team is like playing a 4v5, because the player that is boosted is basically a bot on intermediate difficulty, and the players that do know what they're doing will abuse them to get uncontrollably fed, making it essentially a 4v6. 7 or 8 games almost in a row i've played now where a lot of the teammates i get are incredibly questionable, if not you CAN tell their boosted, one person even admitted to being boosted. All in all its really not hard at all to weed out the players who have been boosted and remove them from the ladder so the players that actually take the climb seriously can start having fun again, and for me right now games feel decided on 50/50 luck, either you have the adc that dies 10 times pre 6 or the enemy team has it. It just ruins the game.

Had this guy last night. Flamed everyone for not being plat, when his MMR was sinking into low Gold while he was "plat 5" technically. Unfortunately its really hard to prove if accounts are boosted or not.

Explain your method to discovering a boosted account

Accounting boosting of the type you give your password for somebody else to play your games is already cracked down upon and they have automated systems in place to detect that with almost complete accuracy.

Boosting nowadays is almost 100% done by duo-queueing with smurfs. And that's completely legitimate. If Riot didn't want people to be boosted they'd have made Solo Queue solo, which they didn't.
