I joined the boosting community during Season 2 because thats when I got plat. I was good at League. League was fun and exciting. Nothing was better than outplaying the enemy by dodging their killing blow with your flash and getting a kill from it. I decided to make some money doing what I was good at. That is how it all began.
How would I start though? Luckily, I had a friend named Sam from GucciGamin (who remembers that elo boosting group?). He was an elo booster and it motivated me to creating my own boosting service. I copied his thread layout and everything. Being platinum, I started small time jobs like bronze, silver, and gold boosts. As I slowly rose to Diamond, I would slowly accept more and more platinum boosts. I loved boosting. Stomping low elo players was so satisfying. But the thing I loved most? The payoff. Back then, elo boosts paid very well. A player could make like $200+ USD from a Gold 5 to Gold 1 boost alone. There weren't many boosters back then. Each booster got their fair share of work back then. Back then, there was a clear high demand of boosting with a low supply of boosters. Those were the golden ages of boosting. It was a simple, yet prosperous time for ELO Boosters.
After a year or so of boosting, I decided to call a hiatus. Not only because I was beginning to get bored of League, Riot was apparently cracking down on elo boosters. So I stopped boosting sometime during Season 3 and never visited Elitepvpers again. Sometimes I'll get the feeling to start boosting again. I visit the forums looking for jobs or to bump my boosting thread, but there are no Skype contact adds. As I browse the forums everytime I get these boosting urges, I quickly realize what the ELO boosting community has rotted into and why I haven't been getting any Skype notifications.
In the years of 2013 and 2014, what has ELO boosting declined to? Nowadays, that same Gold 5 to Gold 1 boost that was easily worth $200+ is now $50. Sadly, that that price can go even lower. Something happened between 2012-2013. Either ELO boosting got really popular and many more players got into it or the influx of LoL players naturally gave rise to more boosters. Nowadays, there are threads that look for boosts and inside it will be 15 boosters fighting for lower prices to win the bid. These are tough times for boosters. There are a clear shortage of boostees and a large supply of boosters, resulting in a economy where boosts are done for so cheap its like we're chinese children working in sweatshops.
ELO boosting is dead. The money one makes does not justify the long hours endured. Oh, how I miss season 2 :(
