was this for boosting or simply smurfing? I've been awway from league for a couple years now i didnt know they ban for smurfing now?

This was on an account I was boosting. Account was Bronze 3 - Silver 4 for 4 seasons, I got up to Gold 3 before I got logged out with one loss on the account

thats insane.. never thought they would start banning smurfs

Yup. Never happened before so I'm unsure as to what I did to flag this. My guess is someone sent a ticket about the account after I stomped them and they looked at the op.gg and saw a hardstuck account thats currently slamming with 10+ kdas each game. Going to be done boosting for now as I am unsure if I got my IP flagged or what. No other accounts I use are banned

Well boosting does ruin the experience for other players. Not only does it create unfair matchmaking. The people who get boosted then hop on their account then proceed to feed their way back to their rightful elo.
It's equivalent of doing someone else's homework to boost their grades but it just creates promotion of unqualified people. A pay to win is a you problem

Just adding another reason to stop playing the game.

Havent seen anyone banned for boosting since season 6. You sure there wasnt griefing prior to boosting on that account?

It says in the picture that it is for "manipulation of player ranks"

Griefing down to iron/bronze just to smurf after is exactly that.

As stated previously. This was not a deranked account, this is an account that has been bronze for multiple seasons and had a sudden uptick to gold. This was not a yuumi bot account or a intentional derank account
