This new League of Legends video about elo boosting goes viral

We’ve got tons of emails from people who wants us to review this viral video from the game League of Legends because they think it’s hilarious and also showcases a reality for the players and gamers in general that they face in their day to day lives as something stressful.

Here we have what it’s called a rage quit from many players after a so-called “ELO Boost” which is the way of League of Legends to measure the match making rating of any given player and with an increased ELO the players are able to queue for the matches with different yet more skilled players than they were queueing before.
In a sense this is a way to artificially increase your “score” which it will then translate into the rankings of your character, thus making it more powerful and desirable.
The trick with this is that the players who are performing these elo boosts are players that can work with ranges from the very bottom of the scales to the very top of the scales and they can be extremely good even for the pro-players who you see in the video.

After realizing that they’ve lost to these elo boosters the people featured in the video will go in near rampages of anger because they can’t imagine someone being so incredibly good at this game will make them not able to win games and therefore lowering their own rating because they’re playing against the very top of the game.
