swiftplay demons come

2 questions
do you have a rito buddy
how many hours do you have (in swift)

no
over half of my playtime

@M4 could enlighten us all

No buddy, I pay on hellish hours on the wrong server

100ish hours I think

1.No
2.swiftplay when with gf so more than half of myplaytime(lvl 330)

You can find them in other modes as well. Think I've ran into 3 or so in TDM and gotten a buddy through that.

1. No Rito buddy.
2. 1110 hours of Swift, 535 Spike Rush, 232 Unrated, 33 Comp, 24 Escalation, 10 DM, 9 TDM, 6 Replication

Nearly all of my Spike Rush hours are from before Swift was a thing. I enjoy Swift as I get to at least pretend I'm playing real Val while also not being locked into a 40 minute game. Also enjoy that people usually don't just give up and leave in a Swift because the game is short enough to just finish it out. Two accounts, one is level 500+ the other is <50.

Edit: FWIW I play on NA East server, so it seems VERRRRRY rare to run into a Rito employee.

I've never seen a dev in my lobby 😭😭
I think there's just way fewer in EU, most of the people who I've heard of getting the buddy (from in game) are from NA

~750 hours in comp
~200 in unrated (idk how, I feel like I've almost never played)
~30 in TDM
~90 in Swift
~80 in Spike Rush
(started playing in late 2020)

I've got a Riot buddy on three of my accounts

Have like 20 hours in swiftplay

yeah, I've been playing a lot more swift recently. I just can't commit to multiple 40 minute games anymore cuz of uni :(

Is it even possible to meet a riot dev in swift

Is it even possible to meet a riot dev in swift

apparently, but from what I'm gathering it might just be an NA west coast thing since the vast majority of devs are from there
it seems the only reliable way to get one on EU is to know a dev so I'm cooked (I don't even know anyone who knows a dev)

I've met two devs on Paris, you can definitely queue up with a dev

I don't remember the exact statistics but if you want a riot buddy you have to play on California servers at 3-5 pst

Maybe if you ask m4 he might have one

I've seen like 9 riot devs (3 in my comp games) and STILL haven't received a riot buddy, they all lurk in the California servers.

You kinda have to have a connection to get a riot buddy, it's not very often to give them out to random people.

yeah my account is EU so I can't play in Cali servers
I see all these clips of people in high elo who don't have any sort of content following who have buddies, so it must be connections

I dont sound american do i fam

no
like 500?
most people with riot buddies either have a connection to a riot dev outside of just a random swiftplay match, you're a girl or you get a super toxic player on your team and you step up for someone (and even then probably not gonna get a buddy) otherwise devs really don't care about you, just another cog in the wheel. either way you have to be queuing cali servers to meet any so unless you are west coast you're screwed (besides holidays where riot devs are home, I met one during thanksgiving on Texas servers)

ButterflyEffect23 [#17]

how do you know they're devs? were they EU-based riot emplyees?

wheres metaphour

You are literally in the 51st state

theres no way people actually play swift play
wtf is the point

H3ENnZ [#14]

Is it even possible to meet a riot dev in swift

I’ve met 10-20 riot devs at least , maybe even more, in swiftplay. I play on NorCal servers though so that helps

To all the people who have hundreds of hours in swiftplay. Why? What is wrong with u? Just play unrated at least like a real man. No reason to plat swiftplay. ESPECIALLY if ur playing with someone else, just que unrated and play a real mans game.
(Bait)
