So idk if im unlucky or something but in 5 years and roughly 5k games played ive never run into a rioter i think the best i got was playing against someone associated with the yordles band in ranked once not to QQ or anything but to lessen the pain maybe you guys can share some of your stories from games with a rioter? thanks in advance
Heya!
You've been playing for five years?! Holy crap! I've been playing for almost five myself!
Would you be down to play a game sometime? :D
I played against Scarizard's team in Riot vs Community hosted by Pentacast the night before the Karma rework went live. His beast mode squad went 5 man dive comp with boots of mobility and captain enchants.
I got to play Karma mid and even got first blood. But then... Chaos... Agony... Death... Defeat...
But it was lots of fun and I'm glad I got to try my best and have my last hurrah with Karma against the man that ultimately changed her forever.
/e Forgot to add #Karmageddon for him.
If you're on at the right time sometimes Rioters have community games they play in that they post on the boards.
I've been lucky enough to run into Rioters twice at random though, once on ARAM and once yesterday on a blind pick with Riot Velocity. He carried my butt really hard. I didn't realize there was a Rioter in my game until later or I would've picked someone I could show off as =p I was embarrassed by how bad I was _
i got to play with Riot phb in my gold one prommos. He was very charismatic and legitimately led our team to victory.
my first game with a rioter was while playing against Riot Rayanami when the game started I announced that it was my first time playing with a red, and that I hated the game already... because I was playing Darius against Quinn top who had a Shaco jungler (who level2 ganked me and then camped my lane for another 2 minutes :P) Rayanami was also playing fiddlesticks support with an Ashe ADC so I had the pleasure of being kited to kingdom come that game, but it was a close one that went back and forth and I ended up having a lot more fun playing it than I usually do when I go tank darius (I prefer full AD darius but their teamcomp made that impossible for me)
I once got paired up against a rioter in an Aram, he only had games on the account at the time so we thought he was an intern =P (but he had just gotten his red account.) I only remember he was playing riven and wanted to nerf Graves cause my friend killed him. i can;t find the game in my match history cause i don't remember who i was playing and it makes me sad
EDIT: I Found it!!! http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1429937267/210209198?tab=overview. @Riot Shadowstorm do you remember this game???
omg ... i forgot to honor everyone on our team :/ .... well thanks for the game i now have an awesome story to tell and share :D
It was a long time ago, I played with Griftrix and a few others. I don't remember much, but I do remember that we lost early game, and came back stomping late.
My first game with Rioters was an ARAM against Riot Bao and Riot Blackrook. Bao was Kha'Zix and scored a penta. The saving grace? He killed one of his own, because Riot Gharris was on my team.
Yikes. I just found the screenshot I took of the results screen. That was over 2600 games ago...
What's your elo? I'm wood league and I started on Braum's release, but I have run into Rioters twice, so it seems strange that you have been playing this game since release and still haven't run into a Rioter.
Second game I ever played with a Rioter was in ARAM. I rolled 
and Riot Sargonas rolled 
. At first we struggled but we eventually got it together and won the game. I started the game off asking him to tell his coworkers that I was loving the last two patches (this was on the second "buff barge" patch) and we had some friendly conversation during the game. In post game I told him that it was a great game and I thanked him for being so friendly, and he thanked me back with a mystery skin! (Uncle Ryze, IMO the best Ryze skin!) We added each other and hopefully some day we can play again.
It really works wonders for community interaction when the players actually run into the staff on the game. Reminds me of when Halo 3 was at it's height in popularity (at the time probably the most played online game in America, similar to League is now.) and you would sometimes run into Bungie employees in the matchmaking.
The two times I played with one, they were very bad haha. Oddly enough I think bot times they were Blitzcrank. Once in ARAM and once in normals.
I've been playing since beta and this past week was my first time ever playing with a rioter. Got 3 of them in the same game!

Fun game!
A few months back I was playing Lux mid, duoed with a friend who was playing Nunu jungle. We had the worst bot lane in perhaps the entire history of league of legends. They were dying as fast as they could get back to lane, no joke. In steps Riot Exgeniar, with the freshly changed Mordekaiser top lane, come to deliver us from the evil that is baddiedom.
This dude, no lie, went like 20/3 and power carried every teamfight. I did stuff and things as well, and between the two of us, I managed to get a Quadra kill. Unfortunately Exgeniar stole my Penta. Rito decided it was not to be. Such is the price of having Rito hard carry your games for you. But there really was no other way we were gonna win that match. I am eternally grateful that Exgeniar stepped in that day to put the vile matchmaking system in its place.
I've been playing since late 2012, haven't ran into a Riot employee so far.
Now that I read this thread, kind of sad about it actually. Games with them are apparently a good experience, lol.
I've been playing since season 2, I only just recently got the privileged to play with two rioters. I got the random luck to play with them during URF! It was totally awesome and completely not expected! :D Our team won, With one Rioter playing 
and the other playing . :D
OP... you are a lucky dog for sure.
