Escaped loss trader by my friends sanitizing their list so they have no loss traders on them

The way League of Legends works is there is a privacy violation involved when you queue for matches.

When you queue a match, there is no way to hide from nefarious onlookers that you're "in queue".

It isn't just your friends that see you "in queue", it is also friends of friends.

So if you have just a single friend online with a single nefarious actor, they can run a VPN + multi account queue and gurantee get enough players in your game to throw the game.

In boxing they call this throwing a boxing match. It happens when a gambler pays a boxer to take a dive. In League of Legends, people are bribed for whatever reason to make sure another player has a miserable experience. There are haters out there and they are vindictive. This is why privacy violations and concerns are important.

RIOT Entertainment should allow players the option to "hide from friends list when queueing games" and this would immediately solve this privacy violation.

I'm a cybersecurity professional and I'm responsible for the first design of the Player Tribunal that Todd Cadwell implemented in League of Legends. I called it Player Policing and it was a counter hack, anti-cheat for Starcraft when Battle.net ladder got corrupted in 1999.
