Why do people boost their accounts?
Who can explain me this.

Why would someone let's say who has 1K MMR get a 3K MMR account even for free? Like this his games will be MORE DIFFICULT since it's beyond his level especially for people barely making it at their own level. Please prove me wrong.

In other words, I really don't get why people usually boosts their accounts, won't they be playing in a level which is above them? = more hard. And eventually fall low again.

Because they're so naive, some people really proud for their rank even its "fake"

Ive seen people buy 5k accounts just to brag they are 5k but they can never win a game in that bracket.

People who boost their MMR by buying accounts are beyond sad.

Well, they will eventually get better if they'll play with better players. Like when i was 3k i bought 1 acc with 4.7 k solo and i dropped to 3.5 and now i'm 5.5k. Playing with better players is a factor of development i think

In low mmr people are tilted and frustrated, not really area to learn much.

True that though i wouldn't recommend to buy accounts with high mmr just to learn to play the game better..

Not to mention that buying and selling accounts is against steam TOS.

You will get their play-style and the way they think .
At least you will get a serious game , people in low ranks are like bots , they don't care and they don't talk .
:(

You're right but 1 thing about this whole idea doesn't feel right.

I'm in low bracket myself but I watched tutorials and pro games and I see how they think so I make LESS MISTAKES but I don't have the SKILL OF HIGH RANK PLAYERS.

In other words, if i know how the game works but i'm not a good player (no game skills yet) it means I still don't belong in high levels.

Want a simple example? My farming skills are still bad when looking at others.

This is quite apparent, reliable solo matchmaking only starts at about 4k mmr. Below that it‘s by its nature very unreliable matchmaking. The problem is that a community which tolerates or accepts smurfing and boosting undermines the Elo matchmaking based on mmr. You can‘t have „fair“ matchmaking and boosters/smurfs at the same time. Dedicated mixed skill matchmaking using a kind of a tutor system would help for solo matchmaking. Party matchmaking already has this feature with the given max. 2000 mmr difference per team.

However you have seen experienced players cry here at the forum about the behavior based solo matchmaking with newbies and you know that there is no chance for something like that. Thus you have to accept the boosters which are just looking for this mixed skill matchmaking Dota2 community is not willing to give.
