Is riot serious about fighting boosting?
Ive duo q boosted several people to plat from high silver and none of them got banned. So is it really something bannable? Like seriously the duo q boost ya know... I don't think they legit enforce it.

Its only considered boosting if account sharing is involved. What u describe is classified as "carrying" and is allowed. Those players didnt get banned because they didnt break any rules. They played on their own accounts.

The knowledge base article says "MMR Boosting (Match Making Rating, also known as Elo Boosting) is an act where a player (The Booster) logs into another player's account (The Boostee) to play a ranked game." I also went ahead and talked to some of the other volunteers and I am told that this isn't considered boosting, because "paying to have someone climb with you is okay provided everyone is on their own account." I hope this clears things up!
Edit: This is considered "playing with someone" and I disagree with the outcome and what they told me (to me it's still considered boosting as you're paying someone to play with you and "help" you ascend the ranks).
Yeah no, it's not against the rules. Settle down.
