I am a former iron 4 player. Back when I started league and finally hit level 30, i queued ranked and dropped straight to iron 4. Now I realise that I had some serious talent back in the day to actually make iron 4 while actually trying.
League was my 1st moba. Back in season 2 I dropped from 1200 Eli to the minimum 700 Eli and stayed there for a couple of month. Then climbed it back again in just 2 weeks. Like at that level, the difference in what you needed to do to win was very small
Tu inglés está bastante bien, pero hay un par de fallos: 1. Después del primer "I" tienes que poner "am" 2. "Ganar dinero" en este caso en inglés se dice "earn money" o "make money", no "win" Mucha suerte y espero que sigas aprendiendo inglés, es un lenguaje super útil :) Edit: Tal y como ha especificado BuenosNachos, "win money" sería correcto en el contexto de ganar dinero a través de una lotería, premio, etc.

I remember playing with some friends from Venezuela (I'm from the LAN server) and 2 of them disappeared back in 2016. They stopped playing, which wasnt really strange for me, sometimes they would go away for like a week or two, but the months passed and they never came back. I really hope its just because their pc's stopped working or because they left the country (one of them said he was planning to go to Argentina or Chile). I really do hope they're still alive and trolling games in LAS server, they were some of the funniest friends I've ever played with.
Extremely good video.

I liked the part where you let him explain why he does that and I completely agree with his philosophy of basically HAVING to do that because he can't live otherwise, still caring about the game and acknowledging that he's making it worse, but ultimately conceding and doing it because he must.

Veramente è meglio farsi pagare meno di 6 euro l'ora al sud?

I remember reading a story about how the World of Warcraft game economy crashed because of the week long nationwide blackout Venezuela had a few years ago, due to most people doing item farming were from there. Certainly a testament of their will to try to get through harsh times.
"they are paying a team of software engineers hundreds of thousands of dollars in California to police a guy making 5 bucks in Venezuela" Fuck, that really got me thinking.

You can think like this I'm assuming you come from a country that has a stable economy atleast. When people can't afford basic necessities and can't live a normal life they may resort to something like this, i 100% don't agree with what his doing but I also understand why he does it.
@@annexgaming1856 And I assume you can think like this because you can't read? I quite literally wrote that the idea of him having to excuse himself is silly, because his need to feed himself is way more important than if some matches get trolled. Maybe you should actually read what people write before trying to feel all heroic by accusing them of stuff they never said eh?
I've been playing league for a little over a year and half, and my first few times in ranked I deranked to Iron II pretty quickly because I was (and am) bad. I kept complaining at the time that it felt like about half my games had people intentionally feeding in it, and I thought that I was honestly just crazy or had bad luck with teammates. But this video, this video makes me feel so much better.
I feel you. I’m not a good player but i should not be in iron, because i was doing well in py bronze/silver soloq games. Just got unlucky this season with my placement and landed in this pit of garbage :(, literally unplayable. Might abuse my yasuo again because otherwise i’m not getting out
Sadly, getting out of Venezuela is even harder than managing to live there, and even borderline impossible if you don't have help from outside. If it isn't due to the non-existent economy, it's from the insane corruption and neglicence of the goverment, so much that airport security might not allow you to leave the country just because they know you're not coming back, and you can just lose your flight - and your money - if you can't convince security that you're coming back. Take it from a venezuelan that miraculously made it out, my family had to buy round-trip tickets just to "prove" we weren't moving out.

This documentaries that you are doing are not just helping us realizing how vast the lol players spectrum is. It's opening us up to see how the hole society is working. Thanks for this great content !
I FUCKING RAN INTO THIS DUDE A FEW DAYS AGO. It was exactly a WW jg with a morg fallowing him around doing only jg and no ganks. Our mid Yone quite and me (nasus) and our bot (ezreal) where trying to keep us from losing.
Stories like these are so pivotal because they show just how much people in first world countries take advantage of. I have never been faced with the notion of being hungry, homeless, and working 12 hours a day just to afford to eat that day, and knowing someone else has that tenacity gives me some hope that one day he will be relieved of needing to do so. I hope the best for that deranker, and that he can end up with a stable job.
Obviously this kind of behavior in game is a plague, but I respect this guy for being very nice in explaining what really goes down. Very interesting video!
This was a great video. It felt close to home 'cause I'm one of those Venezuelans who lost weight back in the day. I live as an inmigrant now, life is rough but hey, I live. It's just sad that I'll never be home again
ngl his job actually sounds like an dispatcher off some sort he has to multi task, almost sells his soul to his job bc off how much he works and he has to be efficient enough with it to not get banned ruining his progress
Boosting is still playing the game. The other team still has a chance to win and all that's in their way is the opposite team. Inting isn't just playing out of your league, it's grieving your teammates. It's the most unfair and unsportsmanlike thing you can possibly do in a game.
I have a suggestion instead of letting bad players in ranked they should have a competency test in the form of games before you are able to play ranked for the season. It gets rid of bad Iron players and Bronze players and have ones that have way more skill at the game but it allows Riot to detect deboosters for awhile as the worst players are stuck in norms till their win rates improves above 50% in 100 games at the least
It would be really cool if Riot contacted this guy and hired him to help them get rid of deboosters, he'd most definetly get more money and he'd help people who are victims of deboosters and bots.
@@adriannstg3421 isn't that exactly who you want? The one that makes a living doing what you're trying to stop, who knows the strategy better than you ever could.
Been to Venezuela twice good on him I met people who worked for less than a dollar a day. Crazy how bad their economy is most of the people I know left to Argentina and Columbia.
I created a new account after being inactive for 10 years and forgetting my login information and there are so many smurfs, deboosters and players leaving in low level games it's insane!
In Diamond, there's a lot of junglers that do this Reranking strategy unironically as their gameplan, holding hostage their teammates. Imagine if they got banned because they were detected as "elo deboosted accounts"
Found one in my game the other day. Stole jg from my friend then trolled the whole match by never ganking, stealing farm and not doing objectives however his KDA is positive because all he did was kill steal.
this is the sad truth riot cant deal with. ranked league is not a game where people come to compete and climb, its a place where people come to do what ever BUT climb. only at the higher levels of league people actually try to play a team game. everywhere else, its a solo with bots... (i know i sound salty but at the age of 31, im just sitting there playing with players younger then me who just dont care...)
Very good video, the debooster scene should be seen as reverse challenger skillwise, because those people know so much about the ban system as challengers know about the game.
This is honestly heartbreaking. He doesn't like doing it, he's ideologically against it, but it's his best opportunity to literally stay alive. How terrible that must be, my heart and thoughts go out to all the people in places like venezuela and ukraine, and anyone with struggles like this. I'm very impressed he's making something work for him in that situation.
He says he doesn't like doing it, only to justify his actions but deep inside this guy doesn't really care about the game, he can do other things, I think it's not justifiable to ruin the game experience of 4 individuals trying their best to win a game
Around 11:50 - I just can't stop thinking of the characters in No Game No Life playing with their hands and feet while he talks about playing on 10 pcs
Can we talk about how bronze and iron are not real elos, and how such a wide skill variety is crunched into silver and gold when they can make iron an actual elo and not an elo you have to try to lose into
So Dong, when you say "it's not even minimum wage" I've worked for 5 dollars the hour with out a contract, the person next to me was jealous because they had a degree and they where making 650 a month, while I was making 600. The US is one of the better off countries economically, positive side is here everything second hand is really cheap lol
I started playing league 2021 when akshan was new. I remember learning what “inting” was and wondering who plays a game to LOSE??? Who would go out their way to intentionally lose a game ?
Wait, why did he say he gets around $100 per month? At 7:28 Don says the average monthly salary there is $30 per month, and the guy gets $65 per day, but right after the guy says he gets $100 per month.
I met a guy from venezuela in an old MMORPG, he was selling the game money for a living. He told me he played 6h a day each day, with 12 acc more or less for roughly 1k USD a month. This guy told me that with a 20k-25k $ account you could make like 100-150 USD a day just by farming.
I'm glad that they've found food and wealth out of such a harmless crime. Another human being having a significantly better life, because I lost a game in silver 3. Now that'll put a smile on your face, plus I get to yell "ahhh damn inters" and get some stress of the day out without them hearing or seeing it ( Don't do it in chat guys, do it in your private discord or IRL and then let it be gone) GG friend
Most people from venezuela have computers phones and internet. The economic collapse happened in 2015.Internet, gas and electricity are dirty cheap as well, and most have at least a highschool education, the guy in the video most likely is graduated from college or is studying . I'm from venezuela.
For some context, In 2017 is when I started to play league of legends and my age was 15 . Now, I am 20 year old and planning to join the US army next year. This video did made me feel sad and tear up a little bit. The whole atmosphere is different compared to the earliest video of why booster exist. Which was somewhat a wholesome story, because as I got older I started the hardship of life. You either work or study or part time both. Otherwise, you won't have a life to enjoy. My point is in that early video about dads doesn't have time to game as they have a family to support. On a off topic, I feel women has more option than before to do things. Don't be me wrong, parenting is hard and difficult, when a person has to take care an infant up to 18 or more. So, kudos to you for making video like this.
There are plenty of solutions for smurfers and demoters, just using the "S,A,B,C rank" system and the "champion mastery 5" system, but lets be honest here: Riot don't give a f*** about quality, only quantity "An angry player is loosing 10 games in a row and making other 4 different players each game lose too? Who cares? Just keep ranking" "The funny cat is the only champion in the entire game that you could play with your feets and it is being used to demote with bots? Who cares? Support mains and duos love the funny cat with the funny skins. Just keep playing"
@@minhminh-wp5lg But there are solutions. The issue is that the developers have to decide between a fine line of destroying the game to ban all of these people or to have a tolerant community and have these people running around.

If it isn't due to the non-existent economy, it's from the insane corruption and neglicence of the goverment, so much that airport security might not allow you to leave the country just because they know you're not coming back, and you can just lose your flight - and your money - if you can't convince security that you're coming back.
Take it from a venezuelan that miraculously made it out, my family had to buy round-trip tickets just to "prove" we weren't moving out.
@@AceOf_Diamonds_ this are facts, im from venezuela too
work does not exist for them
@@AceOf_Diamonds_ that's horrible I also come from a third world country but even there they would at least let you leave I hope something can be done to help ven even though it's very unlikely it'll get better
@@AceOf_Diamonds_ I am happy that you and your family are well here :). Very heartwarming to hear!!
i honestly hated this guy at first but then when he told us his situation my respect for him went through the roof!! Wish him well
WAY worse things this guy could be doing to make money in Venezuela. Or in South America. I respect the honesty, and the situation
I lost my shit at the graphics card mention, dude’s a master of his craft
It's really nice to know that these yummi players I used to see in Iron are actually bots and It wasn't just me overthinking it
What can I say? I'm impressed with the "investigation", with the perspective, and with the story as a whole. Keep up the good work, bro!
Great vid, we are happy we were able to provide insight into our work in this video!
Honest I can respect this dude, sitting there for 12 hours a day constantly monitoring 6 computers 7 days a week is not something everyone can do.
Picking pockets is also not everyone can do.
This documentaries that you are doing are not just helping us realizing how vast the lol players spectrum is. It's opening us up to see how the hole society is working.
Thanks for this great content !
i didn't read the title or watch the intro but I've taken these play tips to heart and I'm ready to start playing ranked!
I FUCKING RAN INTO THIS DUDE A FEW DAYS AGO. It was exactly a WW jg with a morg fallowing him around doing only jg and no ganks. Our mid Yone quite and me (nasus) and our bot (ezreal) where trying to keep us from losing.
I really enjoyed this video, kept me engaged the whole way through.
So cool to see you do a documentary about my ranked teammates :D
Stories like these are so pivotal because they show just how much people in first world countries take advantage of. I have never been faced with the notion of being hungry, homeless, and working 12 hours a day just to afford to eat that day, and knowing someone else has that tenacity gives me some hope that one day he will be relieved of needing to do so. I hope the best for that deranker, and that he can end up with a stable job.
That Yone play at 0:46 hurt me physically
That was actually a plat game lmao
Always amazed by the quality of your RUclips videos. Keep up the excellent work; I LOVE your videos.
Now I won’t be sad to lose anymore because I know it might help feed someone :)
A new meaning to the term feeding
Obviously this kind of behavior in game is a plague, but I respect this guy for being very nice in explaining what really goes down. Very interesting video!
Finally, a league career for the masses
This was a great video. It felt close to home 'cause I'm one of those Venezuelans who lost weight back in the day. I live as an inmigrant now, life is rough but hey, I live. It's just sad that I'll never be home again
Riot should hire this guy. Give him a good job, and better fight derankers. Win win
Riot could solve this much easier if they just made quality educational content instead of a simple tutorial.
this guy could learn alot from my promo teammates
ngl his job actually sounds like an dispatcher off some sort he has to multi task, almost sells his soul to his job bc off how much he works and he has to be efficient enough with it to not get banned ruining his progress
There's also a documentary of the people on Venezuela that played runescape for a living.
This video was really good. Reminds me of the Venezuelan gold farmers in runescape
Wow I wasn't expecting this. I will have to think twice next time I flame an inter. I hope. I hope this kid makes all the money he needs.
Ironically enough deranking is actually more fair than boosting. Boosting robs all 5 players on the other team. Deranking only robs 3 or 4 players.
Boosting is still playing the game. The other team still has a chance to win and all that's in their way is the opposite team. Inting isn't just playing out of your league, it's grieving your teammates. It's the most unfair and unsportsmanlike thing you can possibly do in a game.
I have a suggestion instead of letting bad players in ranked they should have a competency test in the form of games before you are able to play ranked for the season. It gets rid of bad Iron players and Bronze players and have ones that have way more skill at the game but it allows Riot to detect deboosters for awhile as the worst players are stuck in norms till their win rates improves above 50% in 100 games at the least
Always solid content. Analyses that actually have some substance and unique angles. Wp mate.
Imagine caring about "the quality of a video game" when people are starving to death lol.
It would be really cool if Riot contacted this guy and hired him to help them get rid of deboosters, he'd most definetly get more money and he'd help people who are victims of deboosters and bots.
Let's hire the guy who broke our ToS by losing intentionally and botting
Edit: and selling/sharing accounts most importantly lol
@@adriannstg3421 well they work with people who hacked their systems and who sell cheats
@@LeagueBeer they know how to code
@@adriannstg3421 isn't that exactly who you want? The one that makes a living doing what you're trying to stop, who knows the strategy better than you ever could.
just cause this guys good at intentionally losing doesnt mean he'll be good at idenitfying ppl who intentionally lose.
i never thought that deranking exists...
i must have lived under the rock for a long time
Runescape has a BIG problem with Venezueleans
Or straight up lock them up with other of their species, because it is disgusting as they always been
Or with that kind of "president" boy sure they have a bright future
Been to Venezuela twice good on him I met people who worked for less than a dollar a day. Crazy how bad their economy is most of the people I know left to Argentina and Columbia.
true gaming journalism, keep up the good work we need it !! :)
The rant at the end was just amazing
Thank you for this video
I wish I had the concentration for just 1 task haha
That's some serious skill
I created a new account after being inactive for 10 years and forgetting my login information and there are so many smurfs, deboosters and players leaving in low level games it's insane!
Nice to see your face Dong. Great video, this section of league needed a light shined on it.
In Diamond, there's a lot of junglers that do this Reranking strategy unironically as their gameplan, holding hostage their teammates. Imagine if they got banned because they were detected as "elo deboosted accounts"
Found one in my game the other day. Stole jg from my friend then trolled the whole match by never ganking, stealing farm and not doing objectives however his KDA is positive because all he did was kill steal.
this is the sad truth riot cant deal with. ranked league is not a game where people come to compete and climb, its a place where people come to do what ever BUT climb. only at the higher levels of league people actually try to play a team game. everywhere else, its a solo with bots... (i know i sound salty but at the age of 31, im just sitting there playing with players younger then me who just dont care...)
Very good video, the debooster scene should be seen as reverse challenger skillwise, because those people know so much about the ban system as challengers know about the game.
This is honestly heartbreaking. He doesn't like doing it, he's ideologically against it, but it's his best opportunity to literally stay alive. How terrible that must be, my heart and thoughts go out to all the people in places like venezuela and ukraine, and anyone with struggles like this. I'm very impressed he's making something work for him in that situation.
He says he doesn't like doing it, only to justify his actions but deep inside this guy doesn't really care about the game, he can do other things, I think it's not justifiable to ruin the game experience of 4 individuals trying their best to win a game
Same, I find it heartbreaking :( but it’s reality. And there are far worse situations than him. Like literally 0 food in Africa Asia etc…
@@inglestopia "he can do other things" did you see the difference between the average pay there and what he is making?
@@periklisperperis6868 WASHING CARS IS MORE DIGNIFYING THAN DOING THIS SHIT
@@inglestopia and? He needs to make money and this is his only option for a livable wage
I remember an inting warwick with a morgana following him around in one of my games, we still managed to carry and win tho, we thought they were bots
Around 11:50 - I just can't stop thinking of the characters in No Game No Life playing with their hands and feet while he talks about playing on 10 pcs
Can we talk about how bronze and iron are not real elos, and how such a wide skill variety is crunched into silver and gold when they can make iron an actual elo and not an elo you have to try to lose into
"Iron accounts are incredibly rare"
Didn't know I was that precious B)
So Dong, when you say "it's not even minimum wage" I've worked for 5 dollars the hour with out a contract, the person next to me was jealous because they had a degree and they where making 650 a month, while I was making 600. The US is one of the better off countries economically, positive side is here everything second hand is really cheap lol
As a Venezuelan I wanna meet this guy as well, my situation slowly is getting worse and worse. My mom and I lost our business due to rent too.
I started playing league 2021 when akshan was new. I remember learning what “inting” was and wondering who plays a game to LOSE??? Who would go out their way to intentionally lose a game ?
gonna buy iron accounts just to support this legend
Venezolano, lo sabía
Pd: Después de ver el vídeo me siento obligado a decir que es broma, espero que mejore la situación amigo, fuerza desde España
Your vids have been great for years but this one hits a little different
As a Venezuelan. I really appreciate you talking about my country and telling the truth about my country
This went from goofy to sad real fast
Wait, why did he say he gets around $100 per month? At 7:28 Don says the average monthly salary there is $30 per month, and the guy gets $65 per day, but right after the guy says he gets $100 per month.
Average job 30$, old job 100$ which wasnt enough, badly cut audio
I met a guy from venezuela in an old MMORPG, he was selling the game money for a living. He told me he played 6h a day each day, with 12 acc more or less for roughly 1k USD a month. This guy told me that with a 20k-25k $ account you could make like 100-150 USD a day just by farming.
bro i have two accounts that are literally iron and im stuck in that elo, i legit cant get out didnt know they were worth money about to sell them lol
That was very informative. TY!
I'm glad that they've found food and wealth out of such a harmless crime.
Another human being having a significantly better life, because I lost a game in silver 3.
Now that'll put a smile on your face, plus I get to yell "ahhh damn inters" and get some stress of the day out without them hearing or seeing it ( Don't do it in chat guys, do it in your private discord or IRL and then let it be gone)
GG friend
Cool !
New method to derank my account, thank you
I never thought that the reason why would League community would do such things is just the economy of their countries.
Thanks for the video, Dong!
Another banger 🔥. High key tho that Venezuela stuff is sad af
The story seems credible, but I am still wondering how a guy barely able to afford decent living, did get to play league in the first place?
Some people in venezuela do have computers and wifi
Most people from venezuela have computers phones and internet. The economic collapse happened in 2015.Internet, gas and electricity are dirty cheap as well, and most have at least a highschool education, the guy in the video most likely is graduated from college or is studying . I'm from venezuela.
For some context, In 2017 is when I started to play league of legends and my age was 15 . Now, I am 20 year old and planning to join the US army next year.
This video did made me feel sad and tear up a little bit. The whole atmosphere is different compared to the earliest video of why booster exist. Which was somewhat a wholesome story, because as I got older I started the hardship of life. You either work or study or part time both. Otherwise, you won't have a life to enjoy.
My point is in that early video about dads doesn't have time to game as they have a family to support. On a off topic, I feel women has more option than before to do things. Don't be me wrong, parenting is hard and difficult, when a person has to take care an infant up to 18 or more.
So, kudos to you for making video like this.
amazing video as usual, i feel bad for this guy. may Allah guide him out of Venezuela to find a better job with a good salary.
Lol, he said it's bad to be like 0/5/0 while that's what happens to me on a common tuesday
If i was riot I would have actually reached out to him and offered him a job.
There are plenty of solutions for smurfers and demoters, just using the "S,A,B,C rank" system and the "champion mastery 5" system, but lets be honest here: Riot don't give a f*** about quality, only quantity
"An angry player is loosing 10 games in a row and making other 4 different players each game lose too? Who cares? Just keep ranking"
"The funny cat is the only champion in the entire game that you could play with your feets and it is being used to demote with bots? Who cares? Support mains and duos love the funny cat with the funny skins. Just keep playing"
there is no solutions for smurfers or demoters every online game have that issues
@@minhminh-wp5lg But there are solutions. The issue is that the developers have to decide between a fine line of destroying the game to ban all of these people or to have a tolerant community and have these people running around.
@@ifirespondiamstupid7750 that is what riot doing right now
amazing content, love your channel mate, that debooster guy is a nice dude :)
Good quality video Dong keep it up :)
And here I thought that my countrie's rainbow money was weird, Venezuela comes in with vertical printed bills to take the winning weird spot.
