I wouldn't say that. I did a lot of boosting in a bunch of different games like Apex, Valorant, and League. 1 of the things i've found is that getting good at the game so you CAN boost is the really fun process. I loved sitting in Aim labs learning how to flick and how to be more accurate or spending time in training mode learning combos on different champs or watching videos about dopa or others to learn how they approach the game. I think if you really want to get good at a game the #1 thing is too have fun but also too look at the game like a job. You must approach it with the same mentality of a doctor. You have to dedicate your entire day in and out and it really is fun if you enjoy it. I wanna get out of boosting but I've had injuries to my Knees and back that make it hard for me to work a normal job while im in College. I hope to quit when I finish my masters.

I did elo-boosting for over 3 years and I can say that this video is really accurate.

That translated to around the minimum wage in Poland. As I was living with my parents and didn't have any actual living costs, I managed to save quite amount of money that way. I invested most of it in crypto in Q1-Q2 2017, which allowed me to buy an apartment earlier this year. I'm 23 and I had many different jobs, right now I do in investment banking. But I can honestly say that Boosting was the most fun and satisfying job that I ever had. In my case, I could even say that it was quite life-changing.

The "don't buy boosting, buy coaching instead" thing really hits me. I play Overwatch in the lowest ranks. Whenever I search for how to get better, a vast majority of the results is with the mentality of "how to get to a higher rank without actually getting better just for the sake of being in a higher rank". Well, while I do want to be in a higher rank, I want to be there as a direct result of me getting better. So the "how to get to a higher rank without getting better" kinda frustrates me. Boosting is one way of getting to a higher rank without getting better, but coaching is a way go get better.

"Mute everyone" the best advice ever, it also doesn't cost anyone to try to win regardless if its norms or ranked.

I was an Elo booster from senior year in high school to 21 years old and it paid for my medical assisting school and got me a cheap hoopty car idk what my life would have been like without league even though I don’t play anymore.

[@JEsterCW]

*Since this topic is related to a huge part of my past and life I would like take some words and spread them here. I'm Ex-EloBooster and really experienced Lol player who had peak of being TOP23 on EUW as a jungler and lee sin main. Ive started to play in Lol since almost beta till half of s8 and after i switched games and almost totally quit lol.* I was boosting for almost 3 years and to be correct it was 2.5 year. The reason why I did start boosting was the fact that I got and reached everything what i wanted in this game and playing in high chall lobbies wasnt challenging and fun for me at all and I wanted to enjoy the game more by itself, and since I was a really good lol player I was pretty often asked to boost/help someone get a rank or something and then I quit playing competitively and started to boost/help/coach on daily many ppl. I was boosting from s3 till s6 after i quit boosting fully. So how my daily shedule of playing and boosting looked like? as a person who was playing league all day almost 24/7 with breaks for food etc I was usually playing 22-26 games per one session as an avg value (which usually was 36 to even 40 hrs in worst cases with switching accounts to play another games on different acc to boost another account, so the final games could be even around 40 games per day on 2 accounts, but the avg time i was playing and boosting was around 34-36hrs). If you would want to ask me why did I start boost others pls accounts it wasnt a money, I almost never took money. I usually was taking other things like skins etc cause i wasnt taking any care about money back then since i was a teenager and i loved playing league of legends and the fun by getting someone's account to their dreams rank and have fun during this process with the satisfaction that i dont have to sweat my ass just for useless lp etc and the happiness of the person was enough payment for me, maybe for alot of ppl its stupid that i wasnt taking only money, but i loved playing league and i wasnt doing anything else. Altho i took sometimes money and playing in various different ranks was incredibly interesting experience on daily basis. *To be honest I don't know how boosting looks like nowdays with the prices etc since I don't play in league since half of s8, but back then i had situations that the person i was boosting got a ban cause the system detected that someone else was playing on the account etc even my friend from school got a ban by boosting him from b1 to p3 in one day, it was back then when u were getting 36lps with good mmrs on the account, now i cant imagine how hard it can be with lps gained after each game in s11 etc, but i have a mate who is still playing and is challenger on few accounts and hes boosting and living from doing it and he seems happy in his life, he bought a marcedes for huge money just from boosting, so if you would ask me if u can earn money from boosting these days u defo can, but prolly not every single person who plays league on high leve, you have to be effective. The best boosting is in duoq honestly, its the best experience. Altho when I was boosting i had one rule, i never boosted higher than d1 cause in my opinion boosting higher it would destroy others ppl games in master etc and d1 wasnt a big deal back then altho I was cappable of boosting higher, but I loved this game and didnt want to "harm it" by my boosting services.* One important fact is that back then, the boosting websites etc werent so common I mean... there were boosting websites, but it wasnt like it is nowdays and as the guest said the cuts kills it and I have a friend who is ex booster and was boosting in one of those services and they were taking like 20%, so its still better than 60% lmao I think league is not the best game for boosting services when it comes to the booster aspect. When I did quit lol I switched games and moved to game named *Rocket League* and I have a friend who is boosting on daily basis and we have plans to make our own boosting website with full automated services since Im web developer etc and the money and how easy it is to boost in *Rocket League* is incredibly promising and theres tons of ppl and kids who wanna be boosted due to rewards and to flex with ranks. Ive boosted few ppls for really great money and it didnt even take my a day. My friend lately made few hundreds of euro by boosting a guy to the highest rank and it took him like 3 days at max so i think its really great money comparing to lol boosting + its basically much easier to carry games in Rocket League especially in doubles and the community is big enough to stay calmed about clients. *P.S Great Video*

Great video. What I found unexpectedly touching was you using Dopamine's music as the video ended. That was....really fucking wholesome, and honestly a good reminder that people who boost are humans too. Yes, they ruin the integrity of whatever game they are providing services for, but our disdain for them (if, you know, you're one to care about such things like myself) sometimes causes us to forget that they really aren't that different from us. You using his music as he was saying his final piece was a great illustration of that.

[@GarroshYT]

When I was a student I used to boost on EUW, EUNE, NA and the usual salary monthly was like 300 euros. I eventually gave up on it because the mental health strain was too much. And you're giving up everything in your life to grind a game that you eventually end up hating. I'd say it's only worth if you're really good and consistent, and for example if you have a friend to duoboost with through cheese tactics like funneling. And even then only diamond 4+ boosts are worth any good money, but they're always a coinflip on whether you get 4 humans or 4 bots in your team. The parts about boosters being toxic and not using vpns is all true too, most of the people I worked with only ever did a forced offline script mode if the client wanted that, and sometimes you could even get a chat restriction and play it off before the customer notices, now it's pretty much impossible because it's obvious when your honor drops lmao. The best customers are usually UAE arabs rich on oil money, who pay a lot to play with you on a second account. And last of all Riot will never give a shit about this industry because even their CEO got caught getting eloboosted, that mark merill guy or whatever his name is.

Long term it is going to cost more than few bucks for a skin, since it is just a small, none-reasonable and easy-to-quit part of playerbase in here. Long term loss is decided with game quality - since ranked system is the most catchy part of the game it needs to be maximum healthy or otherwise it becomes less enjoyable - and people will leave it and those who stay would become even more toxic and nervous - leading to further drop in playerbase from potential noobs who wanted to try, but was shocked by general toxicity of the process.

Boosting can be profitable only if you REALLY good at this game. I worked as sysadmin in that warring part of Ukraine called DPR. At some point it became waaay too stressful for me so i quitted this job with desire to become a league of legends content creator and/or streamer. Soon I faced the fact of being too boring to be a streamer. I just can't talk to viewers and concentrate on game at same time) so I started to translate English content to CIS community (Ironically, most of videos were from DongHuaP channel :D). But soon enough big channels started to do the same and my views dropped to 1/3 of previous results. Even if i did it better and faster, than these channels, it changed nothing. So I dropped it and became a booster. Usually you have to be at least in masters on EUW to get into boosting, but I never made it past diamond on EUW or past masters on RU. Just so happens that I had friends who were boosting for years and some of them provided me accounts on these boosting websites. Sometimes for free, sometimes for some % cut. Most of my orders i took from BoostRoyal and other Russian boosting website with way lower amount of orders and lower payments, but like 90% of orders here were on RU server, which means it was much easier to do. Every huge website like boostroyal or GGboost have a system, that separates weak boosters from strong ones. If your winrate on BoostRoyal drops lower than 70% you can't just take order instantly after its placed, you have to wait 20 minutes. So no matter how hard you monitor the dashboard, orders most likely to disappear faster than this 20min penalty ends. I took everything i could in silver-plat range, sometimes even normal wins (you will be surprised how often people order that). Never went for d+ orders because it is a pure coin flip for me. It took me whole year to make around 400$ with boosting. Not even enough to afford a new videocard (it died two weeks ago). BoostRoyal account already had only 60% winrate on it when they gave it to me for 10% cut and when I almost went past 70% they took it away. So now I boost only for that small Russian website where orders appearing rare af. This whole situation is kinda devastating. I'm not even talking how stressful this boosting experience was for someone who barely reaches diamond. It's still better than staying on a job where the owner of company can threaten you with a fking gun, but still. I'm just not good enough to reach masters+ at EUW, so i shouldn't be In boosting at first place.

We’ll never hear his honest answer obviously, but comparing his variety streams to his LoL streams its clear that he finds more fun in other games. I used to be mad addicted to League 7-8 years ago, I hit plat 1 and gave everything trying to hit diamond as a 16/17 year old, I used to play 10-15h a day neglecting my (social) life. Did I have fun playing LoL, hell no. I quit when season ended at plat and never looked back since. Cant explain how much my life has improved since then. Actually living life and not stuck trying to get a visual rank nobody gives a fuck about. I still watch LoL videos but playing the game is over for me

I've had a sneak peak into this job a while ago. Joined a Discord server, made some good friends and they asked me to boost them. We played about 8-10 games a day, and hard carried majority of them since it was extremely low elo. I got them from ranks like Bronze to Gold, or Iron to Silver or even Silver to Plat, and the higher we went, the more obvious it was that they did not belong in that rank. After we were done "boosting" they would go on to loss streak 10-15 of their games because the enemy was Leagues ahead of them. That's when they asked me to coach them instead, and I was already so burnt out from playing so much over the course of a month that I didn't wanna hear about anything league related.
