I have been playing the game for so long and played 200 games of Soloq ON STREAM. A random dude DMed me on Discord to DuoQ, he had a 49% wr on a Master acc with 500 games played, so we played a few games. I played Soloq after and won. How is this fair? HELP. @RiotSupport

@luminawa @RiotSupport A few notes: 1. The date range spans more than a month. If you were being penalized for 5 games in one night, the date range would be much narrower. 2. Please let me know if I have your permission to share the names of all accounts that we detected as duoboosts in this time.

@drewlevin @luminawa @RiotSupport I got the same ban with a range starting from before even my account was created and leveled up, i think theres something wrong with the system u might wanna look into it

@VeladeLOL @luminawa @RiotSupport What was the date?

@drewlevin @luminawa @RiotSupport Account creation was 9/18-25 and the message i got is from 3th september? somehow

@VeladeLOL @luminawa @RiotSupport You boosted other accounts and the system thinks this is your main so penalizes this one. Please stop boosting other peoples’ accounts, thanks in advance.

@drewlevin @luminawa @RiotSupport Yeah thats the problem, i havent boosted anyone?

@VeladeLOL @luminawa @RiotSupport ah, I see what the problem is. you’re a flex booster. no reversion, cut that shit out.

@drewlevin @luminawa @RiotSupport what do you mean flex booster, im trying to get challenger on flex que and qued with people similar skill level huh? @hevinix

@drewlevin @VeladeLOL @luminawa @RiotSupport Normally I stan you Drew, but flex is meant to be played with people of varying levels. Of course the good soloq player will carry their friends, that's by design of the system.

@drewlevin @VeladeLOL @luminawa @RiotSupport This guy was obviously just starting to play flexq and did not abuse the system how on earth do you call this flex boosting? Should he play solo flex, reach challenger so he can play with his friend? Makes no sense to me but at this point just remove flexq then lmao

@drewlevin @VeladeLOL @luminawa @RiotSupport are you guys trying to kill every social aspect of this game 😭😭

@drewlevin @VeladeLOL @luminawa @RiotSupport im sorry but flex sould be considered like normal game

@drewlevin @VeladeLOL @luminawa @RiotSupport just get rid of flex honeslty it’s so mickey mouse

@drewlevin @VeladeLOL @luminawa @RiotSupport This just in: Don’t play the friend game mode with your friends if they’re better than you at the game

@drewlevin @VeladeLOL @luminawa @RiotSupport Drew turning evil because everyone gave him the power

@drewlevin @VeladeLOL @luminawa @RiotSupport This has to be ragebait? In all my years for when flex has been out my intention has never been to «boost» my friends despite huge rank variation in flex.

@drewlevin @VeladeLOL @luminawa @RiotSupport So are you allowed to queue with any other account in flex queue or not? There used to be rank restrictions for flex, those were removed. Now they're added back, but the threshhold is secret and you can only find out about it on social media? And the punishment is suspension?

@drewlevin @VeladeLOL @luminawa @RiotSupport So what you are telling me basically, is that I can't queue flex with my lower elo friends because its somehow boosting even though we can even send queue together if we are on the same party queueing flex, is that right?

@drewlevin @VeladeLOL @luminawa @RiotSupport I fear this tunnel vision and fixation on "boosting vs not boosting, smurf vs not smurf" is getting a bit too ridiculous. There are deeper underlying design issues that need to be handled in the game before enforcing things outside of the game itself

@drewlevin @VeladeLOL @luminawa @RiotSupport you can play flex with any rank untill diamond, don't acuse people of boosting when they just play with their friend in a mickey mouse queue.

@drewlevin @VeladeLOL @luminawa @RiotSupport So, because he's Masters in soloqueue and played flex 5v5 with friends, got a crazy winrate because he's most likely STARTING in a rank much lower than where he plays he gets banned for it? Yeah, thank fuck i stopped playing this game.

@drewlevin @VeladeLOL @luminawa @RiotSupport @drewlevin icl you must get fired as soon as possible lolll

@drewlevin @VeladeLOL @luminawa @RiotSupport just fix the voltaic bug please

@drewlevin @VeladeLOL @luminawa @RiotSupport So we cant play flex with lower elo friends cause its boosting, this is straight abuse of power, but do keep killing the game

@drewlevin @VeladeLOL @luminawa @RiotSupport Just make it a solo game. This shit is so convoluted that i don't want to risk getting baned just for playing ranked with my friend.

@drewlevin @VeladeLOL @luminawa @RiotSupport Ah yes the guy played against grandmasters still and its considered smurfing in a for fun queue. In that sense, when I go search for people to play flex and I get gold/plat level guys Im a booster in a gamemode that precisely allows that to happen What a joke

@drewlevin @VeladeLOL @luminawa @RiotSupport is this a joke you cant be serious

@drewlevin @VeladeLOL @luminawa @RiotSupport Drew what are you on about this time

@drewlevin @VeladeLOL @luminawa @RiotSupport FLEX BOOSTER? LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO

@drewlevin @VeladeLOL @luminawa @RiotSupport Wait, then, for who is flexq supposed to be? If I have soloq diamond, and wanted to play flexes with my bronze/silver friends, I couldn't cuz it would count as boosting?

@drewlevin @VeladeLOL @luminawa @RiotSupport Wtf do u mean flex booster flex gives me iron when im emerald how is this flex boosting that s the system issue

@drewlevin @VeladeLOL @luminawa @RiotSupport Fucking Rioter hahahha He actually thinks playing flex with my friends who have jobs, wifes, and kids, is boosting. Flex boosting Bro????, that's disgusting. The whole point is to chill and play with friends. Get a life

@drewlevin @VeladeLOL @luminawa @RiotSupport Man you’re such a little bitch. Stuck in 3rd grader levels of pettiness

@drewlevin @VeladeLOL @luminawa @RiotSupport they should have queue'd up normals, and gone and ruined some pre level 30's lives forever.

@drewlevin @VeladeLOL @luminawa @RiotSupport Where’s our compensation for ranked ddos the other night where we lost LP? I like how you’re actively trying to fix the game but you’re a joke

@drewlevin @VeladeLOL @luminawa @RiotSupport I'm currently ranked gold or something in flex queue and can easily get master+ if I started playing it. Would that be considered “boosting” if I played with friends? That's fucking retarded? That's just ranking up? Many people just haven't played a lot of flex queue.

@drewlevin @VeladeLOL @luminawa @RiotSupport can’t even queue with friends in a for fun game mode anymore

@drewlevin @VeladeLOL @luminawa @RiotSupport bring back ranked team then

@drewlevin @VeladeLOL @luminawa @RiotSupport Lol this game now made me feel like every players that higher then diamond ranked shouldn’t have any friends that rank lower then them cuz when they play any 5v5 games with other people they will naturally become a booster😂so what’s the meaning of creating this flex ranked
