Obvious MMR Booster / Needs Punishment

LukeReformed·Dec 12, 2017·1 votes·504 views

Hey guys, I hardly ever make posts on any game, but I just went against one of the most obvious MMR boosters I have ever seen and it really did upset me. There was a duo, and the lee sin <removed by moderation> was boosting his friend. Friend 1- claims his friend let him use that account since his main account was hacked <removed by moderation> - claims that's his account but he just let his friend use, account sharing or mmr boosting ( most likely mmr boosting ) it's obvious. This player went from an average 40% wr, low bronze / silver to having a 80+% wr on every champ almost. a completely new champion pool,

If I could get this post attention, elo boosting is becoming a huge problem, and nothing more would make me happy knowing this player is banned, and admitted he was boosting / account sharing, either is a huge offense and ruins games.

Send a ticket in. You cant call someone out by name here on the boards. This post will be removed

I went ahead and edited the names and identifying links out of the post rather than deleting the post altogether, so that you can continue discussing it if you want. It's ok to talk about these situations and ask for advice on what you should do, just not name & shaming or reporting players.

If you have questions or concerns about this action please visit us in the Moderation Discord here.

As for what how you should approach boosting, definitely report them in the post game with the appropriate option. That's your primary form of reporting this behavior. If you can't, or feel you need to do more, you may submit screenshots in a Support Ticket under the request type I want to report abusive behavior, cheating, or a malicious link.

Send it to Riot in a support ticket. Nothing we can do here.

LukeReformedDec 12, 20171 votes

Was hoping to get a rioter attention but ty, will do if no rioters comment.

HalcyonDwellerDec 12, 20172 votes

Rioters don't comment on this type of post. Trust us, we've been here for months and seen posts like yours every other day.

The moderators remove the post or remove any mention of the name of the account in question. And Rioters never comment.

Your best course of action is to submit a support ticket as Jo0o has stated. This sort of thing is taken very seriously and once they see your ticket about it, Riot will investigate the player in question and take whatever actions they deem appropriate.

press the "print" button on your keyboard. open microsoft paint. ctrl v to paste. upload on imgur.

send it to the riot support. get a copy pasted answer. be sure nothing will be done about it. enjoy.

right now is that huge mmr boosting banwave going around. if he isnt banned yet, its 100% sure he is lying about his friend, or he is just lucky enough to not get caught. he wont be banned. i bet my left thump on it

Hey now, they take this sort of thing seriously. And they do investigate players brought to their attention in support tickets.

There's no need to spread misinformation that Riot doesn't deal with these sorts of things.

ArammusDec 12, 20171 votes

lol. sure they do :D show me 1 case where someone got banned after getting reported via ticket.

HalcyonDwellerDec 12, 20172 votes

To do that I would have to post another summoner's name on the boards. Which is against the rules and could get me banned for naming and shaming.

Edit: and even if I were to do that, there's no accurate way to verify if the person was punished. Players receive chat restrictions all the time without being banned. So you wouldn't be able to know for certain from their match history whether or not something was done.

ArammusDec 12, 20171 votes

i myself say that riot sup doesnt do anything because i did report a couple of ppl myself. and i dont stalk them or anything but being in the same chatroom as them (back in the old days) i kinda knew they arent banned.

HalcyonDwellerDec 12, 20171 votes

You are not the ultimate authority on how Riot does things. Anecdotal evidence is limited by perspective and bias. And you say this happened "back in the old days" but Riot's policies have changed from what they were several years ago. The tribunal is gone and Riot support has changed methods multiple times since then.

'kinda' knowing people are not banned is not the same thing as knowing for certain. Riot handles things, and even if for some reason they do not, dwelling on it or commenting on other people's posts about it for the purpose of angering them is petty and pointless. Riot does not always agree with you on whether or not a player should be punished, and that is okay. You aren't entitled to have Riot ban people whom you disapprove of from playing this game.

Claiming they are incompetent in order to spread your own distrust of Riot unto others is misleading and irresponsible.

we got enough proof for riots lazyness.may i just remind of "killtaiwanese" the guy who intet over 15.000 games and only got banned because of reddit pointin him out? point proven.

HalcyonDwellerDec 12, 20171 votes

You waited until now to bring up the Reddit int-feeder? Now it just looks like you are grasping at straws.

The automated system can't detect int-feeders. Riot has to review them manually.

Occam's Razor only works if you eliminate all other possibilities. You can't just cherry pick one of several still-viable outcomes and just run with it.

You have a thing against Riot. And that's fine. You are entitled to your opinion. But please refrain from spreading misinformation amongst the community. You aren't helping anything by angering other players needlessly.

ArammusDec 12, 20171 votes

twisted fate. always have a trump card hehe xD trump.

riot said they have a "feedbuster". i dont know if they took that statement back, if they did i missed it and thats on me sorry.

another thing: ban baiters. a thing riot tantram said wont happen anymore cause he will make sure that these people get banned. yet their discord is still happily alive.

things like riot playing favorites (get sejuani'd), stuff like bugfixes that never happen, things the community demands for years (better pings + pingmutes), etc etc ETC! i love this game but nobody can deny the lazyness of riotgames.

their website. write patchnotes in client. write patchnotes on webpage. dont copy paste them onto the stats of the champs on their page for months! why is lolwiki and other page so well known i wonder?

and you cant tell me that no fucking rioter has time to check out a guy who got reported for inting prob 5 or more times in 15.000 games. sorry but that cant be excused by anyone. or that you are able to copy paste the patchnotes from the page to the client, but not to the stats in the page. or that bugs that have been reported over the last years are still not fixed

yes i do have something against riot. i cant stand their fucking lazyness. as much as i love this game and as much as i love things riot do good (yes they do a lot of things good, its not all bad) as a true "fanboy" you are able to admit both the good and the bad things. if you only see the good things, you arent much better than just seing the bad things.

let me just post one of my fave quotes i ever found on the internet.

I could be mistaken too. We don't have to argue about this point.

If that was still going on we'd see posts from victims. We aren't seeing posts from victims, so that discord server is either up just for publicity or the people in it have no more ways to troll except the mundane and hard-even-for-the-victim-to-notice ways.

Some things can be explained by the fact that the company is big and the systems that must be set in motion for features and projects to be developed are slow moving and difficult to start.

But I digress. They have certainly let some simple features slip by the wayside. For example you did not even mention the infamous death recap.

https://puu.sh/yFbzr/e909237513.jpg

We just differ in opinions on how to get things done. I respect you for thinking critically.

I personally think that you should try writing constructive posts about each of those features. You should suggest that they be implemented, explain why they should be implemented, and describe the benefits of implementing them. Well written posts about nifty ideas do tend to draw upvotes. I bet you could get some Rioter attention on the problems if you do post in that manner.

You don't see much point in 'praying' as you call it, but I don't see much point in raging either. Taking that stance and tone of 'the conspiracy theorist who is just out to discredit the big bad company' won't solve the problems you want solved. It will just alienate yourself from the community and drive un-constructive discussions instead.

good point. i might even try that and give some feedback/critic/constructive posts.. wow lol actually nice ppl who are able to argue in a respectful way today. actually having fun and learning stuff from the boards today <3

Best of luck to you with that then, I do hope it goes well for you.

Striking the right balance between conviction and understanding helps a lot. It's an art I've never quite perfected. I'm glad we both left this discussion feeling better at least. <3

Account sharing is already reportable. That alone should allow you to make a ticket if you really feel the need.

This is why the report button exists. Naming and shaming is forbiden by the boards rules. If you got a legitimate proof, you can send it to Riot to advance the investigations further ahead.
