Reasons Why Boosting is Bad

WHY IS IT CONSIDERED BAD? MMR boosting may sound like a victimless crime, but it can have numerous negative effects on the game and other players.

1.Our Leagues system has been carefully tuned so that players are placed in the proper tier with others who are within a similar skill level. If a player's MMR is boosted unnaturally they will most definitely falter when they begin to play ranked at their new tier. If a player is unable to keep up with the other higher MMR players in their match they will most certainly.

2.It takes hard work, commitment and buckets of blood, sweat and tears for players to earn a high ranking in League of Legends. MMR Boosting devalues the commitment that many of our players make to earn their rightful place among the world’s best League of Legends players.

They are paying others to play on their team. They will fall to their actual rank once they lose their booster.

Also, how is it free if they have to pay for it?

You already have a discussion thread about this. There is no reason to start another one.

Depends on how they elo boost. If the booster plays on the guys account then riot steps in and knocked them in there place.
