So what the deal if someone move in to different area? is that gonna make him be banned because now he would log in into account from different IP and the BOT system would lock the account?

What the deal here? because i have examples that people move into a different AREA and their ping was better so now they actually do better in their games and they climp elo does that mean that those people would get banned "for boosted" and "Sharing" account?

No. While we don't know every last detail they use to confirm cases of boosting (if they gave it away, people would know better how to try to get around it), the system is much smarter than to ban as soon as an account shows use on a different computer or from a different IP. There are a lot more things they can take into account when confirming boosting. Some things I've seen tossed around as things they could look at would include champion pool used, cs numbers, clicking patters, warding habits, and speech habits in chat. And I'm sure there's a lot more they can monitor, too.

As far as I am aware, all MMR boosting bans are issued manually. There may be (and probably is) an automated system that flags questionable accounts for review, but those reviews are done by actual people.

I have been on a 2 day ticket discussing with riot about my recent move, I log in at new house (now Florida previously VA) play 2 games next day banned for boosting. Never done anything of the sort. Not to mention who the hell boosts preseason anyways.
