What does 'boosted' means?
Some idiot eerrrrr... I mean survivor called me 'Dr. Boosted Dude' in the post game chat.
I feel like thats supposed to be an insult but I am only confused.

Anyway, I think I should have kept the chat window closed. It barely shows anything good.

"Boosted" means someone helped you get to the rank you're at.

I can't guarantee it started with League but it certainly gained its prevalence there, where "boosting" is paying someone to rank you up.

It means that you had a friend (or someone you paid) to carry you to a higher rank. I don't know how that would work as a killer seeing as how you can't have friends on the survivor side. Maybe he was just angry at you. Doctor can be annoying at times.

"Boosted" implies you are playing at the rank higher than you are suppose to be because you either got carried by a friend (ie flashlight god friend to save you 24/7) or someone else playing your account, long story short, it is not a compliment.

Many streamers use it as a definition that your play is not on a skill level which your rank is supposed to mean. It's not about paying or a friend, in case of DbD that means ranking system moved you way too fast for your real skill (in their opinion).

It can mean...

When your friend(s) gives you a bunch of items, gear, or experience to get you to a point you normaly wouldnt be at on your own. "My account was boosted"

When you are super excited and happy, like having won something or gotten a new job. "I am totally boosted"

When you have stolen something. "Someone Boosted my car!"


This Doctor is totally boosted. He murdered me and stole my purple key, on double blood point day, while giving off his creepy doctor laugh.

Ah, yes that totaly makes sense. I would pay some random for the amazing killer rank 16 any day.

Okay, that sounds more reasonable. Maybe I did rank up more than I 'earned' but I don't care for my killer rank, I play killer casual for fun and bloodpoints.

You don't need to. Just remember how disgusting they are and hook them.
