The tutorial starts at 07:36! To me, the code Mimic uses for the connection with your phone seems like it could easily be a lot harder to guess, for example user name + six digit code or a six character code allowing letters and numbers. On PBE, not much can happen if someone can start games for you remotely, but I would not open the app on live servers. They state they have 300k+ installs - this means if all users were online at the same time and you type in any random number, you should have a roughly 30% chance of getting into some random account (if they mean unique installs). Obviously, far less will be online at the same time, but it's still a one in a million chance someone has with each guess to get your number. Use with care!
@@tommo4356 I just tested a bit, and yeah, the first time a device tries to connect, you need to confirm on PC. But it does not say anything about the device which wants to connect, so if somebody else tries roughly at the same time, it is hard to see if that device is yours or not. Also, for the recording, I cleared the allowed devices, which at least for me does not work correctly, I could just connect again without any confirmation on PC. That's why in the video you don't see any questions for confirmation. What also is a bit weird, that the code for the connection never changes, even when uninstalling and reinstalling Mimic it is still the same code.
Have you tested whether or not gold gain was client sided? I had my suspicions due to the client bug not giving you the gold back but I could never check because swarm would always crash after nocturne died
man this seems so fun i doubt riot would do that but i'd love them to just implement this "pick any champ" as is (with making swarm minions targetable and fixing camera bugs). ofc having regular champs wouldn't count towards missions and such, but it would still be fun to play around with
to be fair i would love to see the entire champion pool played in this mode,, after i watched this i was like yeah riot did it again, making something soo fun but yet only did it for what it feels like 20% finished.. Sooo i hope Riot sees this vid and will be like, ok lets go add some more champs towards it.. CUZ this mode really makes me wanna play for over 12 hours a day again. Aram +rift is waayy to toxic these days...
Bard + normal Swarm champs sound kinda good in early game. He might get them to the first evolve faster than maybe a lv2~3 xp increase (instead of having Bard)
Garen may be genuinely good, maybe? I don't know his ult, but his E is probably good and his W stacking is for any unit he kills, so it probably will work.
@@dizzyheads Yeah, but the W stack isn't flat value, but % value, so it either will grow with the armor of the game mode or will have a weird interaction with it.
@@DanielDTUBWeinberger Well at least I don't need to worry about that anymore since riot patched it a day later the bug was discovered, now when you select a champ that isn't the one ur supposed to select, it says unable to detect anima squad recruit or something like that and it automatically loses the game
i try it with kogmaw and fliddesticks, kogmaw can still spam his R, the max damage you can do is 1k, but still not enough to be good, flidd is so fking useless, your get bugged, it get instacanceled and do anything to monster, but it work vs big boss, but still not good damage, i didnt try akshan, he can perma E, but the thing is, will he atack in his E???
for anyone wondering they patched it, it kinda works but not exaclty, you can still create a game but when you load in then it displays an error and the game ends, still pretty cool though
that remind me of overwolf facecheck app that let you swap smite on nexus blitz (which is not normaly posible) by importing page with no smite :D which fucked me over ssome times (since then i dont use facecheck or any 3rd party program :D)
What is improper about the data they are receiving? How would you suggest checking the data, what are you checking for, what is allowed and not allowed to be received?
@@greenad1993 The game mode is made to be played with specific champions. Only those champions should be playable. what is happening is the client will show you a list of champions to pick. However the server does not validate the champ you picked. Meaning that if you use something other than riot client you can pick any champion existing and the server will accept it. What they did improper is what is called trusting the client. As a dev you should never trust the client and always validate the data as otherwise the client has authority and thus cheaters etc can exploit it.
@@greenad1993 input validation is one of the most important things in programming. If you don't restrict what the users can input into your program in the best case you can end up with funny bugs or crashes. In the worst case you can create major security exploits because the users can inject their own code into your program. In this example the riot server lacks checks if someone asks for champions they shouldn't be allowed to ask. Normal champions just don't appear in the client but you can ask for picking them using external software and the server responds "sure why not"
Somehow, I don't have anything installed, but there are battles in the swarm that I can navigate with the right mouse button. Have you encountered that?
@@HextechLab no, I play games with a laptop.I can do it with briar and leona, when I first enter the game it doesn't work, but after about 8 minutes I can move with the right mouse button.
they might do later they did this one cz of event s and to promote new skins, maybe after the feedback they make it better later on like they did with arena

I use it just when I need it and close it when I don't, I figure most people use it this way
Whenever I connect my phone I have to accept on the mimic pc app

So you are telling me that you figured out that the mini boss was a large monster, and didn't test Ivern???
I assume it's pooched since you can't click anything but worth trying regardless!
@@lucasveley5400 true, that's so underwhelming
@@lucasveley5400 thats not all of it, monsters dont attack ivern. He doesnt need to clear them but being friends with them would be funny af
Huh, you can't click on monsters (like malz e) and you don't have passive (like rammus e). Surely ivern will work
OH MY GOD IMAGINE GOOD OLD AURELION SOL WITH THAT BUG !!!
Like it's the perfect gamemode for his stars, that would have been so fun
Ikr, if only
old aurelion sol was perfect for every gamemode, shame they ruined him with this current no skill stackstick shi
At least you can have old aurelion in arena.
i miss old asol riot ruined it
@@omegalongdong current asol is far better than the old asol, you cannot deny a fact
Briar has HP regen in this mode
The music had no reason to slap this hard lmao
Tft Set 10 was a banger
The best TFT set. I cried when it left.
@@vilxxblack2472 let's hope that we get another even set that will be good. Like, every odd TFT set was too hard.
@@vilxxblack2472 tft just needs good music to vibe with tbh, I find myself always listening to other music
man this seems so fun
i doubt riot would do that but i'd love them to just implement this "pick any champ" as is (with making swarm minions targetable and fixing camera bugs). ofc having regular champs wouldn't count towards missions and such, but it would still be fun to play around with
Maybe one day
I wanna see Cho eat the minibosses
I actually played Cho but forgot to put it in the video. He can’t eat anything :(
we all do (you can't target anything sadly)

it's already fixed, i wish i knew this sooner
4:16 its not that disgusting....
it took me a minute to get this joke xD
Underrated comment 😂
LMAOOO
Senna in this mode made me realize they could do a proper ruination event with this if they put the sentinel skins and use ghosts instead of sharks
I love game breaking bugs like this
What if you use bard E on the edge of the map? Can you leave the map?
Bard + normal Swarm champs sound kinda good in early game. He might get them to the first evolve faster than maybe a lv2~3 xp increase (instead of having Bard)
Sadly it's fixed, Yuumi kicks you out from the game...
yea quite ironic from an AFK champion
Im curious if neeko passive crashes the game
Garen may be genuinely good, maybe?
I don't know his ult, but his E is probably good and his W stacking is for any unit he kills, so it probably will work.
W has a stack limit and E doesn't reduce armor
@@dizzyheads Yeah, but the W stack isn't flat value, but % value, so it either will grow with the armor of the game mode or will have a weird interaction with it.
the music makes everything better
Singed Q would go crazy in swarm.
bro there's an augment that's literally he's venom
@@espinhudobr Oh? I suppose I haven't progressed far enough to unlock it. I'll play some this weekend and try to get it.
Can you get banned for using non swarm champs?
Knowing how you can get banned for literally nothing
Yes
@@DanielDTUBWeinberger Well at least I don't need to worry about that anymore since riot patched it a day later the bug was discovered, now when you select a champ that isn't the one ur supposed to select, it says unable to detect anima squad recruit or something like that and it automatically loses the game
my game gets terminated cuz they recognize me using a champion not from the anima
wow, great job youtube, only reccomending this video after swarm is over :(
its fixed already
i try it with kogmaw and fliddesticks, kogmaw can still spam his R, the max damage you can do is 1k, but still not enough to be good, flidd is so fking useless, your get bugged, it get instacanceled and do anything to monster, but it work vs big boss, but still not good damage, i didnt try akshan, he can perma E, but the thing is, will he atack in his E???
How about kassadin with that insane mana reg.?
teemo passive invisible for 15 minutes ? :P
I didn't know about this bug, last time I used mimic was 1 week ago and it was disabled
That Perfect stuck on word "alert" 0:47
for anyone wondering they patched it, it kinda works but not exaclty, you can still create a game but when you load in then it displays an error and the game ends, still pretty cool though
what if you used the malzahar E on a miniboss, killed it and spread it to the small enemies this way?
From my testing unit targeted abilities just don't work at all on any enemy.
malzahar E would be sick
I wonder if akshan e can target enemies
Music such a banger bro
Unbelievable that Riot didn't code them as minions.
Amumu: Poe Ratcho from Vampire Survivors

Imagine Irelia here, too bad the q ability is not available.
And this is why local heroes should leave things to the professionals huh?
damn so sad thesy patched itz
And in their genius riot does not perform server side checks to ensure it receives proper data. Amazing...
did u write "riot" and " ensure" in the same sentence ? u fool

If you try khazix will he still evolve?
What about Sivir W ?
Patched, can’t be having fun now.
Word… so if you spawn with singed he’s literally not a unit LMAO
NOOO MY DREAM OF PLAYING DRAVEN
Briar standing there like...🧍🍽️
"Where the food at??"
The only way to make singed more useless, remove his poison trail 😂. Legit just walks around
once again android reigns supreme
gg no re
wouldn't urgot and skarner's ult work on champion-type monsters like the kog'maw and nocturne?
bro how do u use w ability

For anyone trying this out it has been fixed
IT WOULD BE SO COOL IF SINGED CAN BE IN THIS GAME
Where is bel veth? I want to see her stack lavender.
this is on PBE?
so u can only do that map as it givees free xp at start ?
Does sivir shield work vs miniboss skills? Morgana shield?
This mode have tô be permanent
Whats the best character that you played using this method?
probably Rakan, Thresh and some AOE champions
is this banable ?
doing this with veigar and getting infinite ap would be funny
cant use q or r
Overwolf banned next update.
then the better champ its sion with the card of the aura with hp damage
can we pick swarm champions in sr or aram?
man this must be so spaghetti coded
is this bannable ?
can valdimir heal from minnions ?
gwen without Q

Fixed
nope game will crash if playing with other or 5 seconds in if solo
What about sett

I tried right now... seems it's patched. I can get into the game but then I get kicked out "member of squad not valid. Mission aborted"
@@kevin97kg same here. doesnt work anymore
you cant use it anymore right ? bc on the phone app i cant choose any champ
it works, but once you get in the game it kicks you
I would like to know what could happen if you play as Kayle, is she melee at first then she gains range at lvl 6? does her ult works as normal?
You can’t auto attack
@@terror_nightmare9308 Huh, that's interesting, the rest of her abilities work?
@@Kaoslypse maybe W, because you cannot target anything either with skills or autos
@@terror_nightmare9308 ohhh wow, thank u :D
asol might be broken
thats cool i tryed riot bug fixed this funny feature riot sad company
So we don't get banned from doing this right? Since it's the PBE?
I don’t think on pbe they ban for bugs like 3 years ago there was a rift maker bug with 162735272726 omnivamp we all abused it nothing bad happened
@@jpuc5568 would be wild if they ban you for bug abuse on a server meant for testing and finding bugs
Has anyone tried invis? Smth like eve or teemo that get inf invis by passive
CAN I PLEEEASE...GET THE NAME OF THIS SONG?
tft set 10 theme
I need to see yorick
what about him?
th3 y aurelion
If you want to farm gold without spending energy to play just pick yummi and hop on some1 and free gold
is this patched
Riot please dont fix this
Does this work on live servers too?
Nope. Just tried.
Am i wrong to think that malzahar could kill the big dudes with his e? and then infinitely chain on the small ones?
You cant use point and click spells at all
Can malza use his E on mini-boss?
veigar may be the one
patched :(
yeah sadly
Its not
nope
only on android
Of course yuumi is hated, She kicks you out the game.
can garen stack his W by killing the monsters with his E?
salut dorian
salut dorian
wtf
can you please try katarina in this mode? Her W is aoe she has E to jump all the time and her R
doesnt her e need targeting?
@@zortnet can use it on W tho i guess
@@Kuresto yeah but w is on a long cooldown isnt it?
@@zortnet but in this gamemode cant you get tons of ability haste and other stuff?

THIS DOGSHTT APP DOESNT LET U CHOOSE THE CHAMP WTF IS THIS
I'll go to Samira :)
Getting 🍕
Riot could have made so many champions fun in thisode yet only a few are actually playable. Low riot, very low
they might do later they did this one cz of event s and to promote new skins, maybe after the feedback they make it better later on like they did with arena
