I Knew
Every Skin
You Have.
And before you report me - no, I'm not cheating. No, I'm not hacking your account. Not doing anything to your PC. Everything is legal and allowed. Let me explain everything.
I Can See
Your Skins
Before the Game.
For those that were looking for me admitting to this - yes, I use a third-party software that shows me your skins. It shows me your equipped loadout before the game loads (image in the background) - skins, buddies, everything you have on right now. That is all it can see. Nothing on your account. Just what you have equipped in that moment.
Your account is completely safe. I can not access anything beyond what is already public (since Riot gives that information away, you just have to know how to access it). No passwords, no personal data, nothing that you would consider "private".
I cannot say what tool im using. Riot asked me to keep it hidden, and that stays that way. In the video there is more about how it works - but the tool itself stays hidden due to Riot request. Not because I'm gatekeeping.
Trolling Your Skins
Was Never
the Point.
Calling out what skin you have is what I do when I'm streaming, I'm bored or recording short-form videos. A way to make a quiet lobby talk, make a game feel chaotic for a few rounds or just for fun. I've done it to thousands of thousands of people - you are not the first, not definitely the last.
The actual project purpose of this is a project that I am working on. For 2.5 years, the goal has been tracking every person in Valorant who owns the Riot Gun Buddy (RGB for short) - the only item in the game that cannot be bought, earned, or unlocked by any normal means. It is gifted personally by Riot developers, in live games, to players they choose. No store page. No unlock condition. No rules the community has ever been able to confirm.
Nobody had real data on how people actually get it. So 450 interviewed owners later - and we know a bit more than we thought. I asked many directly in-game, and their answers were saved. The largest dataset ever built on this item. The skin trolling was just how the lobbies stayed interesting while doing the actual work.
The goal
is bigger
than the skins.
If you had a RGB - then I wasn't trolling anymore. When you have one or someone in your lobby does - the conversation changes dramatically.
This is the whole reason this page exists. If you have one and the game ended, or you were afraid of me asking - you can still share the story with the button below. Two questions. Two minutes. It goes into the database. That's all.
If you don't have one - you can share your friends about this project. Maybe you know someone who has it, maybe you had a chance to get it but never talked to me. This is why this page exists - to better explain the project, what I'm doing and to teach you about the RGB or my ways of working.
