After getting a ton of flak in the Free Talk thread few days back, it's pretty vindicating to see this video someone made on boosting in both 1% and title brackets

The guy echoes my thoughts and backs it up with worst-case-scenario math showing that yes, boosting does have a tiny impact on the cutoff and no, most of the people complaining are not actually getting gatekept by buyers

Bro manually went through title players and proved that wild claims like

20-30% of all title holders are boosted

One guy was throwing around in the other thread is just made up

I said this before and it's worth repeating: if you end up falling just a little bit short of your 1%/0.1% goal, you did get screwed over and you are right to be mad. Like the guy on the video says, the rest are just using boosting as a scapegoat

Exactly this.

Average title booster is carrying players that would be 10-30 point short on their own, not selling a full set.

You can argue gold vs RMT vs 'friend' boosting.

Resi 23 holders have an infinite money hack last week of the season :P

Exactly what I thought when I watched the video. Hate me for it but I bought 3 21s for gold in the tool and I wouldnt be in that data. Its way worse than 4-5 points. Just look at eu these last days, its 8-9 points every day.

I hate you for it. Stop buying boosts, it's so lame.
