i love how there has been a really simple solution to league's ranked issues but they'd have to actually ban account buying and i'm sure that would go against many rioters' personal financial interests
@yetanotherscrub@RMikael3953@drewlevin if you have a low level 30 in one of your games you can usually look back at their history and find something similar
@RMikael3953@drewlevin one more example, they are leveling/botting the same way in arams too https://t.co/IgiTnm3OGa and one of the accounts it was queuing with: https://t.co/ySYGQ8ry5p
@RMikael3953@drewlevin https://t.co/aVC0rVF50t there is definitely room for improvement, 45 ranked games without action being taken. these accounts are everywhere in low elo
@drewlevin@Rodd22121@drythex to clarify, i would just like the narrow case of freshly bot leveled accounts being purchased to be better addressed. it causes a lot of downstream issues and would make boosting etc much harder
@RMikael3953@drewlevin this is *not* a unique case and btw if you look at the accounts that it was being bot leveled with you'll see that they were all subsequently purchased too
@drewlevin what does that have to do with people buying fresh level 30 accounts? you don't need a perfect system that handles every single edge case to address the biggest elephant in the room
@drewlevin shared family computers wouldn't have the same pattern of (ip + hardware while leveling to 30) != (ip of computer playing ranked with 70% wr in silver). i know it's messier in practice with edge cases but different heuristics would work better in different regions
@drewlevin at the very least action needs to get taken when they're reported. personally, i'd say nuke every account on the machines they play on. we have no way of seeing recent matches or filtering by account level through the api so i can't recommend a better heuristic as an outsider
this is just one example, you can look at all of the accounts that it was bot-leveled with and see that they too were purchased and are fucking up low ranked lobbies. They're used for boosting, smurfing, etc which I was told Riot doesn't tolerate
@drewlevin any chance riot will start enforcing rules against account purchasing? They wreak havoc in low elo and make the game more toxic for everyone. Every below level 40 account should be under enormous scrutiny, eg https://t.co/aVC0rVF50t
@drewlevin any plans on addressing account sharing/boosting? support assured me that action had been taken but they're back at it today https://t.co/2DKcbO3l92
@drewlevin ran into an interesting pair of accounts, they seem to prefer flash on F when playing vlad but D when playing ad/sup🤔. how does account sharing and boosting like this not get auto-detected? https://t.co/KGVJzXFben https://t.co/1U4yYHlFbt
