yeh it's hard to get up to 1700+ with out friends who are decent who play regularly
solo isn't harder, you can reach any mmr solo queueing, just a matter of your skill. there are many ppl soloing to 1900 (me included) and my peak was 1956mmr by soloing (tho i tanked a bit down after this again, cuz was too high)
and the main reason why ppl pay for boosts is because they think they are better than what they are and want to escape those "braindead" ppl in their mmr region even though in reality they aren't worse than themselves. most ppl just lack objectivity and see themselves 100mmr too high.
