Any word on end of season boosting?

It's been really obvious. Every single game is a complete stomp, and it feels like there is nothing for me to contribute either way.

Had a Plat 5 main boosting 'his brothers account' in my last game, went like 16/4 as jungle Quinn and we won at about 25 minutes. Before that there was a Sejuani I was against that ended the game at something ridiculous, like 18/3. Before that a Jinx went 18/6-7 or something because they were gold 1 boosting their friends account.

This is low silver. The amount of toxicity that this engenders, as well as the hollow feeling of the ranked system of some knucklehead getting my ELO (yes, at least in some cases this would happen) is kind of disheartening. Easy wins don't make up for it either - because it's not fun.

Currently the players who actually try to grind for end of season rewards get kindof boned. I hope this is something that gets some serious attention

I don't feel like it's that hard to have crazy scores in silver/bronze games

This is why most people try to get to their desired rank a month before ranked ending.

this has been going on all season. it blows. I just stopped trying to ranked. It bs evey game always some asshat a division or 2 higher in the game boosting his friends. Its not fun nor is it fair ( must be fun for golds to stomp bronze ranked games), i for one am damn sick of it. Every match at bronze 2 or bronze 1 level your team has all the bronze and they have a silver and some golds every single game. Rito why the fuck do i have to play at a high silver low gold level just to get out of fucking bro0nze. The shit is so dumb its funny. Ill e so glad when solo que is back. Sad thing is ive been on the dynamic que is great train. Seems to me dynamic que was just a way to make elo boosting legal. Is it decemer yet ?

I don't care about the odd booster who doesn't say anything - to rephrase, I do care, but I recognize not much can be done.

What I see though is just a wide spread phenomenon of little brothers and teens with mom's credit card getting boosters a month before season end. It's very prevalent and makes it kind of pointless to even play. Every single game has been a stomp. I would not be surprised if the average game time has gone down 10 minutes in silver and below.
