People want to be in a higher division than they deserve so they pay people to play on their account. A lot of pros have gotten busted for it over the years

Boosting is definitely one of the funnier ways to waste money that I have seen over the years.

It's usually people who think their teammates are the sole reason they're stuck in Silver and they totally deserve to be Platinum so they pay someone to boost them up there and then inevitably drop back down to Silver. Then the cycle repeats.

It's worse, because these people are paying for the privilege of anchoring games they shouldn't be in

Every competitive game with seasons and ladder rewards has boosting. I have a friend who to this day makes money through a mix of being a circus trapeze artist and boosting people accounts in WoW arena. The latter of which probably being the one that feels the most like a job.

Ya boosting has been around forever even in games like Starcraft, you could 2v2 with a grandmaster and he would 1v3.

Getting a lot more honors with this new honor system. I am not really kind but I do #shotcall and generally play well.

Got to Silver II off the back of some insanely godlike Lee Sin player who went 17/1/5. I'm really glad they added in the free win for promotions; having to get two wins every time would be really nerve wracking.

silver heroes are the best. there was a guy perennially trapped in silver who built 4 bloodthirster ad sion back when his ult was more lifesteal and all he did was lifesteal and walk down a lane. once he got to gold people learned how to chain cc and kite so he would go back down to silver where he stomped every game,

Peckerhead isn't used enough as an insult if you ask me.
Did I miss something or does locking on to someone not mean anything. I didn't see anything in his abilities that do anything with it.

Overall he looks cool, expect they ruined crabgot.

you would never say that poo poo to urgot if you ran into him in the streets you loving coward. and for the record: new urgot is not as cool as the old one, but is acceptable and i understand why they are making this change due to how unbalanceable urgot was.

Urgot looks fun, cool, and worthless. Once they get past his initial over/underpowered state, he'll probably end up a champion that nobody plays again because playing champions that are weak to the (endlessly increasing) mobility in the game is not fun.

Mobility has been a problem for years and years and years and years and a lot of champions without gapclosers have been introduced and plenty see lots of play so I don't know how entirely true that is

I wonder what advice could be offered on summoner spells, namely Flash.
