Of course you could say that the person who pays for the boosts, does it every season, but that is another thing about them wasting money every year on league boosting.

The whole point of rank is to improve by yourself and get the rank you want to feel good about it. Can't really blame the boosters tho, it's a good way for them to make money.

If that video game is treated like a sport in your surrounding culture, it's more like showing off you are an amazing athlete.

I agree the insecurities are high but it's no different than kids being bullied for being sht at Fortnite by their peers.

Typically people that boost have the mindset that they deserve a certain elo. So for example, if you got a guy that has like 1000 games played and he's gold trying to be Plat, he truly believes that he should be Plat, but because of supposedly outside uncontrollable factors like bad teammates or afkers they think that they aren't the rank that they should be. Most people don't elo boost for clout but for self-satisfaction. They believe that they've put in the work, therefore it's finally time that they get what they want.

I wouldn't say that. I did a lot of boosting in a bunch of different games like Apex, Valorant, and League. 1 of the things i've found is that getting good at the game so you CAN boost is the really fun process. I loved sitting in Aim labs learning how to flick and how to be more accurate or spending time in training mode learning combos on different champs or watching videos about dopa or others to learn how they approach the game. I think if you really want to get good at a game the #1 thing is too have fun but also too look at the game like a job. You must approach it with the same mentality of a doctor. You have to dedicate your entire day in and out and it really is fun if you enjoy it. I wanna get out of boosting but I've had injuries to my Knees and back that make it hard for me to work a normal job while im in College. I hope to quit when I finish my masters.

Which is also an easy thing to detect. In fact I would think that if a lot of settings were changed and the time that this happened coincides with different champs being played and a significant elo rise then that is highly suspicious. Most people never even touch the settings apart from smartcast settings, so if I were working for Riot and tasked with writing a program helping to identify boosters I'd definitely include setting changes as an indicator.

I did elo-boosting for over 3 years and I can say that this video is really accurate. I was around top ~400 on EUNE at the time (as the market grew, it's actually impossible to become a booster with this rank anymore) and I was boosting mostly silvers and golds on EUW as a part time job in high school. That translated to around the minimum wage in Poland. As I was living with my parents and didn't have any actual living costs, I managed to save quite amount of money that way. I invested most of it in crypto in Q1-Q2 2017, which allowed me to buy an apartment earlier this year. I'm 23 and I had many different jobs, right now I do in investment banking. But I can honestly say that Boosting was the most fun and satisfying job that I ever had. In my case, I could even say that it was quite life-changing. I recommend any good player to try it out as a part time job.

Long term it is going to cost more than few bucks for a skin, since it is just a small, none-reasonable and easy-to-quit part of playerbase in here. Long term loss is decided with game quality - since ranked system is the most catchy part of the game it needs to be maximum healthy or otherwise it becomes less enjoyable - and people will leave it and those who stay would become even more toxic and nervous - leading to further drop in playerbase from potential noobs who wanted to try, but was shocked by general toxicity of the process. That's it.

Yes, they ruin the integrity of whatever game they are providing services for, but our disdain for them (if, you know, you're one to care about such things like myself) sometimes causes us to forget that they really aren't that different from us. You using his music as he was saying his final piece was a great illustration of that.

The "don't buy boosting, buy coaching instead" thing really hits me. I play Overwatch in the lowest ranks. Whenever I search for how to get better, a vast majority of the results is with the mentality of "how to get to a higher rank without actually getting better just for the sake of being in a higher rank". Well, while I do want to be in a higher rank, I want to be there as a direct result of me getting better. So the "how to get to a higher rank without getting better" kinda frustrates me. Boosting is one way of getting to a higher rank without getting better, but coaching is a way go get better.

@GarroshYT 3 жыл бұрын

When I was a student I used to boost on EUW, EUNE, NA and the usual salary monthly was like 300 euros. I eventually gave up on it because the mental health strain was too much. And you're giving up everything in your life to grind a game that you eventually end up hating. I'd say it's only worth if you're really good and consistent, and for example if you have a friend to duoboost with through cheese tactics like funneling. And even then only diamond 4+ boosts are worth any good money, but they're always a coinflip on whether you get 4 humans or 4 bots in your team. The parts about boosters being toxic and not using vpns is all true too, most of the people I worked with only ever did a forced offline script mode if the client wanted that, and sometimes you could even get a chat restriction and play it off before the customer notices, now it's pretty much impossible because it's obvious when your honor drops lmao. The best customers are usually UAE arabs rich on oil money, who pay a lot to play with you on a second account. And last of all Riot will never give a shit about this industry because even their CEO got caught getting eloboosted, that mark merill guy or whatever his name is.
