Play other roles!

Breadth is more important than depth when you're climbing to 30.

says the person who told me to play exclusively support...

You told me you like playing support!

We need to have League tourney for scummers at some point.

Re: what's wrong with account sharing?
What's wrong with it is that it breaks the EULA (that you agree to by playing the game) when you share your account or account information with someone else. I've boosted plenty of people (even myself once in what has to be a weird edge case) and no one has ever been punished. It's against the TOS to play someone else's account, it's explicitly against the TOS to play someone else's account to raise their rank and Riot has addressed this several times.

Will a one person boost team doing one boost job be caught and/or punished? It's incredibly unlikely, so much so that I would just answer "no". It's still an offense they can and do punish, generally just high profile players and cases, and in cases where the rank boost is extreme and obvious, cross-checked by IP address.

You can't just say whatever you want and have it be true.

RE: boosting - their name hasn't been mentioned so what can they find out from this thread? Also, lil g, the person being boosted was told that they couldn't be punished because Panzer's not going it for money, he's doing it for fun. It's just like letting somebody else play on your account for fun (which isn't illegal as far as I know?), except the person playing instead of you just happens to be better than you. What's wrong with that?

This is not the rule. Whether he WILL be punished may be different, but TOS prohibits account sharing.

C. Login Credentials. In creating an Account, you will be required to select a unique username and password (collectively, “Login Credentials”), which you will use each time you access the Game. You may not share your Account with anyone other than as expressly set forth herein, and you are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Login Credentials and for any and all activities (including purchases and charges, as applicable) that are conducted through your Account. Please notify Riot Games immediately if you become aware of any breach of security, including any loss, theft or unauthorized disclosure of your Login Credentials.

It's also incredibly lame.

[Maestro]

Aw lame. Ok.

[FakeGod]

lol

Gaiden, we still need to find a fifth member for God Hates Lag before we can participate in the upcoming mafiascum League tourney.

[zoraster]

Aw lame. Ok.

do you really think it's lame? seems like a commonsense policy for a game with matchmaking.

[Maestro]

It is what it is - at lower levels I don't see how it ultimately matters. People may just want a skin and then they'll never play Ranked again (cough) or they may just want a fancy border but after that they will consequently lose tons of games because their MMR / ELO (whatever-it-is) is too high (even in Normals) for them to win games on their own. Because of that ultimate consequence, not sure really what the point is, so I guess that's why I don't care.

[Cabd]

Because now you just fucked up a ton of games for the people who ~DID~ play at that level?

[zoraster]

And the 4 other people on their team who lose because their teammate is really a bronze player? And the 5 people who lose because there's a Plat player who's using a bad account? Certainly you get some of the same effect with smurfs but unless a smurf is throwing on purpose, they shouldn't stay in the lower levels.

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Pls don't ever ever elo boost or have someone elo boost you.

Thx.

Edit: I'm perfectly fine with duoing with a lower level to "carry" them (and obviously so is rito) but once you start sharing accounts for elo boosting then you've crossed the line.

[Maestro]

@Cabd: I don't get what you're saying. My thought process was that you'll lose tons of games because while your account is getting boosted you do not increase in skill proportionally, so when you start playing again you'll still be at Bronze X while your MMR / ELO will be at Gold Y, so you'll be matched with Gold Y-ish players and get fucked up the butt.

[Cabd]

Yeah but your teammates suffer. You're essentially boosting yourself by being a dick to 4 people per game.

[Maestro]

Yes? I'm still not sure what point you're trying to make.

Disclaimer: I don't think ELO boosting is ok...? I was explaining my own reasons for not caring / thinking it's stupid idea.

[Cabd]

Nexus game rule #0: Don't be a dick.

[Saki]

Okay mafiascum I've got morgana and nami mechanically down, sona already purchased and slowly learning... who next to buy and learn to play? Janna? Braum? Leona?

Definitely Janna.
You aren't a true support main until you can play Janna.

Braum is FotM
Thresh and Leona are solid picks
Lulu is another good one

[Papa Zito]

he made the point that he couldn't post in this thread himself, why is it wrong to communicate this way? If it being public was his concern, this solves it. I didn't PM him to begin with because I didn't think it would be that huge of an issue to just say "hey don't talk to my friend like an ass plz".

He's banned from posting in GD. You're posting for him, in effect helping him evade his ban.

[Saki]

iirc the only champion that can TRULY play every single role is Kayle

[Saki]

stop feeding the troll Maestro it's not worth it

[Saki]

Think of panzer as a representative of the shitty self-absorbed god-awful feeders you get to meet in yoloqueue
Except that you can't report him, and he doesn't go away after the game ends (but he

does

get banned, rofl)

Then you begin to realize that there is nothing that you can do about his being a cunt or being goddamn bad at the game and simply begin to let the fact be. Just like that 0/13 Kha in my promos or that dude playing AP Xin Zhao in my next promo game.

[zoraster]

except it's the exact opposite? because he's not feeding, he's boosting

[Cabd]

Dropping the C word is a great way to get counter-banned, man. Don't stoop to that.
