ELOJOB— ORIGIN, MEANING & USAGE

elojob Brazilian Portuguese gaming term for a paid service in which another, stronger player raises the ranked tier of a customer's account, as in "vendem elojob no Discord". The practice, known in English as boosting, is generally against the rules of competitive games and is viewed negatively by much of the community.

Origin:Compound of "elo" (ranked tier) and English "job", used in Brazilian League of Legends circles for ranked boosting. Wikipedia's Boosting article defines boosting as a paid service where lower-ranked players hire more skilled players to raise their account rank, says it is rarely allowed under a game's terms, and notes that Riot Games penalises both parties; CGMagazine likewise says Riot's terms prohibit account sharing and boosting. No Portuguese page opened for this entry defines "elojob" itself, and no dated first use is documented.
