As others have stated, they were likely using an external application to view equipped skins.
It is optional but Riot employees will generally have Riot in their name. Did they have Riot in their name? I would assume they were just random people messing with you if they did not.
I have planted 5485 times.
I guess I need to pump those numbers up.
absolutely gorgeous <3
but the thing is tho its on 0%, I left it there for 30 minutes and I came back and still no progress. Furthermore, this isnt a recurring thing, this started happening right after the latest patch, so I dont think the launcher is actually downloading stuff. And like I said I have to go through this every single time I want to play Valorant. Launcher def not downloading patches everytime I play.
If it doesn't make any progress after a significant amount of time and you aren't able to get into game, I would recommend reaching out to our player support. They will collect diagnostics files from your computer and hopefully either provide you with a solution or ask an engineer to take a further look at it.
Can't speak for other employees but I mainly play competitive.
The speed shown on the launcher is the speed at which is downloading data from a server. As part of updating to a new patch, the launcher has to download data and move or reorganize data within files and executables. Often when its displaying very slow speeds its doing the second part. It doesn't have to download any more data but it may have to move things around. I believe if you wait long enough, it should successfully go through? The slower your disk is, the longer this will take. For example having a solid state drive or NVME drive will greatly help speed this step up.
I am hoping that at some point in the future we will represent disk operations better in the UI. Not sure if we have anything immediately planned though.
