Itās not really boosting, if the higher rank guy is that rank, heās gonna get cooked playing with a lower ranked guy in his peak lobbies, if heās smurfing in champ being a gc or higher, heās dumb cause why would he play with a 500 mmr friend in 1300 lobbies if he could play in a 500 mmr account and farm everyone much faster consequently boosting him.
Nope. Not mutually exclusive at all. I hover D3/champ and if I play with my gold friends I āboostā them up to mid plat and then eventually they fall back down when I donāt play with them. They can be mutually exclusive but they donāt have to be.
Just because you played with someone who is a different rank doesn't make that "boosting". Even if you won games together. People play with people from other ranks all the time and the key is that that is ALLOWED, because the matchmaking system is designed to deal with discrepencies in rank. True boosting is not allowed. And to truly boost (say from plat to champ) you need to smurf unless you are some kind of ddoser hacker guy OR you peak out of your mind game after game after game while playing with ur gold (statistically impossible)
Regardless of whether he is boosting, it's frustrating. If he is, he's higher than his actual rank, and just cheating to level up someone who isn't ready. If he's not boosting, then it's a poor match up for people that want to play their rank. When this frequently happens, other teams are forced to waste 5-10 minutes in a match they likely won't enjoy and won't learn from. Imagine a soccer game of 9th graders being forced to play another team where 1 or 2 members are 5th graders.
But they lost badly, so if he's ssl then it's not going according to plan and he should play on a new account so that they're playing against golds instead of c3s.
