If your account is flagged for boosting, you can receive a 1-8 year matchmaking ban. I assume you don't want that?

Yes. They can't, but they would give you a formal 4-digits value that you're good. Technically, you break your Steam Subscriber Agreement letting the other player play on your account. And you would answer for all the consequences.

no he doesnt, but then he will buyu another account which has been booster so.. infinite loop :D

[Chilli Dog Dave]

boosters and people who pay for said boosts are the cancer that makes match making nearly impossible.
paying for the game would cut some of the growth but only some of it.

Though, with the rate Valve is doing bans, there is a good chance that the account buyer is back to his true mmr or has resold the account to another person when the ban hammer hits. Boosted accounts are meant for a short use anyway. It‘s like drug fighting, you have to tackle the dealers, not the addicts.

Boosters are people who have already gained a hell lot of mmr and want to make some money by increasing the mmr of newbies and then giving it back to them after they which they just make the life of people who have gained their mmr by putting effort and time a hell. So, basically boosting is lame unless you are making money off of it . XD

Not to mention, a lot of people offering "boosting" are just scammers who want access to your Steam account.

Scammers use various methods to hijack accounts, including but not limited to, demanding users give them their items to "verify" them, threatening to ban them, telling them to click on links which lead to phishing sites or viruses/malware, asking them to divulge their authentication codes and creating API keys once an account is compromised that allows them to remotely manipulate their trades.

You can buy high rank accounts if you afraid about boosting. No, they don't steal your stuff and you can even contact them about how is things going. They need access to your e-mail or phone in order to steal so nothing need to be afraid of.

If you don't want get boosting, you can find a paid coach then they will analyz your matches and guide you to become a better player.

Dota 2 items can be gifted in-game so a scammer only needs shared access to steal your items.

Also boosting and account sharing violates the steam subscriber agreement and can result in user accounts being restricted or banned to include 1-8 year matchmaking bans so you probably shouldn't recommend it to users.

Not to mention you've previously called boosters cheaters and then claimed that players who were better than you were boosting.
