Can you please do something about all these bought/boosted accounts?

i am so sick of going into games with people who bought their account.

Some people will say "Oh they just wanted to enjoy the game without taking the time to get to 30."

While this is one problem it causes that is not the larger issue here.

When you have people who buy accounts they come into the game in an ELO they cannot compete with because they are new. This causes people to be playing in ranked games with people far above what their rank SHOULD be. It is the same problem that boosting causes.

Is anything ever done to boosters or bought accounts? Nope.

Just to see if Riot actually does anything I have reported a specific account that I know 100% is a purchased account (not revealing my sources). I have been keeping track of this account over the past 7 months (beginning of June) to see if anything has ever been done about it. I also report it at the beginning of every month in a support ticket and always get the same automated response.

I have put in enough time monitoring this account to know Riot does not punish these accounts.

I just want to know why and if anything will ever be done about it.

Wait. You're like Silver V. THat's where everyone starts. Why would someone get boosted to silver?

I have been playing with people who have never played before. It is a problem for all ranks. What is the point in even bringing my rank into it? Gtfo with your elitist attitude I am not in the mood for it this morning.

new people joining ranked are defaulted to silver2 MMR.

The MMR splash between normal games and ranked games isn't as prevelant as we want it yet.

If they default to Silver 2 how do people win 75% or more of their ranked games and get put in bronze?

Honestly the ranked system seems really screwed up to me right now.

If a player has a high win rate and a low rank, odds are they're climbing out. MMR is based of last season and current season(placements) so a silver 5 player may be placed bronze 5 after going 2/8 in placements and then is able to win 75% of their games to b3 fairly easily. If no rank exists to base placements off of, then the odds are fair low silver or high bronze for a new account But, people who spend money to buy diamond ranked accounts, will fall out of that ranking quickly if they choose to rank. so overall the problem exists for the mmr gain as a boosted player falls down to their place in ranking giving all other players a boost to mmr

the new season is a soft reset, and everyone's rank gets dropped by 5 tiers or so.

Placements is a different system than "1st time ranked"

I don't know what you're saying. I'm not being elitist. I am trying to tell you that when you queue up as silver 4 or 5 people who literally rank for the first time ever get queued there as well. It's the starting point for all people.

I am sorry I thought you were meaning it in a negative way. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
