@Anyone worried:
Here's the basics on how they figured if your account was boosted.
If IP#1 got to ~1500, and was playing on different accounts as well, and then just stopped playing on it, it's probably a booster.

This is actually quite nice.
Though I love to have a smurf on my side (free elo man)
Having a boosted lad on my side is a pain.
I still see feeders around 1k5 elo, probably got boosted to gold.
Too bad for your monies, but it's for the better good :D

Yeah I'm worried about that too. I gained about 550-600 elo in one month, and it was from a lot of games in a row. Hope I don't get put on the dumb ban list.

As long as your two IPS aren't 6000 miles away and you don't go from one to the other in 2 seconds.

I'm curious as to how "smurfing" managed to integrate into the title and discussion of this thread. From what I can see, Riot is explicitly cracking down on "boosting" in the form of account sharing.
