Just had a game where everytime I died or did a mistake, the enemy team kept saying I was boosted. And I've noticed it's becoming more and more common to call people that when they do badly.
I don't really care about the abuse, I just find it funny that something that Riot created that most people I see here hate (Dynamic Que) is now used as verbal abuse.
Good job, Riot! LOL!
BlueThingamajig1 votesI believe you are mistaken in your attribution of fault. Dynamic queue is no different from duo queue in the ability of a skilled player carrying a less skilled friend. Rather, it is more likely that popular streamers and youtubers such as imaqtpie/dom/dyrus/jared who regularly comment "I'm so boosted" or "that play was so boosted" after making a poor play on their own part are the primary inspiration of the insult 'boosted'. In addition, even if they don't make the comment, the youtube video edit will play a sound clip resembling a monkey's screech upon a bad play.
Needless to say, if players are harassing you, mute them, report them, and move on.
ShinkoMinori2 votesBoosted Animal is an adjective that was brought by Dynamic Queue.
Before you called those "bought accounts" now its just Boosted Animal
BlueThingamajig1 votesAccount boosting existed long before dynamic queue. Regardless of the timing of the situation, dynamic queue did not CAUSE the insult "boosted animal". Post hoc ergo propter hoc

Xidphel2 votesSo... same thing but different name. DQ didn't really change anything then
TrulyBland1 votesThis is the same "problem" as when people blamed Riot for using "reported" and "muted" as a way to passive aggressively attack people. Haters gonna hate. What words they use while hating seems vastly irrelevant to me.
Magical Player1 votesI lol everytime someone says boosted anything. lets be honest unless your the carry of that game your being carried, therefore you are being boosted.
Nobody is above or below that. Everyone rides that line, since everyone relies on a team to actually win ranked We're boosted and Proud*[slayer-pantheon-thumbs]*
