Is boosting still safe in League of Legends patch 25.18?

League of Legends is continuously evolving and changing with new champions, map changes, and more. While Riot Games doesn’t focus on the more important stuff, like the many broken champions and terrible gacha skin practices, it focuses on things that are unimportant and don’t affect the gameplay of players.
For example, the newest Dev Update gave information on a bunch of content. Key among them was that the team would attempt to “stop” boosting and hitchhiking. While some players who like to get their account boosted may be a little apprehensive about the whole thing, we’re here to explain why this won’t affect services at Eloking at all.
League of Legends [1] patch 25.18 will apparently attempt to put a stop to boosting and hitchhiking by increasing bans. According to the developers in the video, boosting is when someone else plays on your account to increase your rank, while hitchhiking is when the player purchases a lower-ranked account to duo with the other player, increasing both accounts’ ranks in the process.
This already showcases a lack of knowledge for League of Legends, because the best boosters don’t purchase accounts for duo boosting. Take Eloking, for example. Our professional League of Legends boosters personally level up all of their accounts to ensure that everything is as safe as possible. Purchasing a duo boost from us is still the safest way to boost your accounts, since there’s little to no risk involved with the process.
Speaking of risks, the developer also stated a little about how the team plans to tackle the whole thing. The first is through Vanhuard, the game’s kernel-level anti-cheat. While the team didn’t state exactly how Vanguard will help the team detect smurfing, it’ll likely be through checking the location and if that account’s location constantly gets swapped around.
The second method is apparently through reports that other players made. Again, this is an odd thing to state, considering those who got their accounts boosted, say, three weeks ago, won’t get their accounts boosted until the next season. Relying on old data is typical of Riot Games, since it doesn’t do anything.
Will boosting stop in League of Legends patch 25.18?
Now for the core question. Will boosting stop in League of Legends patch 25.18? This is a bit of a loaded question because it really depends on which boosting provider you’re purchasing these services from. The easy answer is that yes, boosting will stop or be too dangerous to do for most websites. No, boosting will be as safe as it was before for Eloking, primarily thanks to the precautions we already take because we predicted something like this.
Riot’s Vanguard system has improved its accuracy in detecting whether accounts are being sold. It will likely do this in two main ways. The first is by checking the account’s location, which is already handled by Eloking’s VPN protection. The second is by monitoring for sudden skill increases, but Eloking’s boosters make sure their gameplay matches the rank they are playing on.
While less careful boosting websites may be impacted by these changes, League of Legends boosting with Eloking will continue without issues. The service already follows strict measures to keep customer accounts safe, ensuring smooth and secure results every time.
