Prepare a Riot ID for Saiki

What Saiki needs

Saiki asks for three fields:

  1. your Riot ID game name;
  2. your Riot ID tag line, entered without the #;
  3. the League platform or region where you play.

For example, if the player-facing ID is PlayerName#EUW, enter PlayerName and EUW in separate fields.

Saiki does not ask for your Riot login username or password. Never paste those credentials into Saiki or send them to support.

Use an existing account

An existing League account with recent match history is the useful starting point. Saiki can calculate the six self-report scores without match data, but its experimental gameplay layer needs Riot API results.

A new account will not immediately provide a representative sample. Do not play extra games, change champion choices, or force role variety merely to influence the report. That would make the period less representative of how you ordinarily play.

Saiki currently requests up to 50 recent matches and a selected older sample where Riot returns them. It prioritises ranked Solo/Duo for the recent sample, then falls back to other queues when there are not enough ranked match IDs.

Create a Riot account

If you do not already play League, create the account through Riot rather than through Saiki.

Riot’s support guidance says account creation is offered when you download one of its games. It asks for an email address and date of birth, and League also requires a login username and password. Follow the current Riot account support article and the official League download page.

Do not rely on fixed disk-space, bandwidth, password-format, or installation-time numbers from an old guide. Riot changes the client and system requirements. Check Riot’s current requirements for your operating system before installing.

Creating a League account solely to obtain a Saiki result is usually poor value. The gameplay layer is experimental, and a handful of beginner matches will mostly describe beginner context.

Find your Riot ID

A Riot ID has a game name and tag line separated by #. It is different from the private username used to sign in.

You can check the ID in the Riot client or Riot account settings. Copy both parts carefully. Saiki’s server uses Riot’s Account-V1 endpoint to resolve that pair to a PUUID, which is Riot’s player identifier used by the other supported APIs.

If Saiki cannot find the account:

  • check spelling and capitalization;
  • remove the # from the tag-line field;
  • confirm that the selected League region is correct;
  • verify that the ID is the player-facing Riot ID, not the login username;
  • try again after Riot’s services recover if the API is unavailable.

Select the correct region

The current Saiki interface supports North America, Europe West, Europe Nordic and East, Korea, Japan, Brazil, Latin America North, Latin America South, Oceania, Russia, and Turkey.

The region determines which League platform endpoint Saiki calls for summoner and champion-mastery data. Selecting the wrong region can return an error or the wrong lookup context.

If you transferred regions, use the region where the account currently plays. Saiki now follows Riot’s PUUID-based endpoints and does not use the deprecated summoner-name lookup as a migration fallback.

Connect without changing how you play

After you sign in to the Saiki app:

  1. open the gaming-profile step;
  2. enter the game name, tag line, and region;
  3. wait while the server requests account, summoner, mastery, and match data;
  4. select your real profile from the displayed options;
  5. complete the 100-item self-report questionnaire;
  6. open the report.

The profile-selection step helps you catch a mistaken lookup. It is not Riot Sign On and should not be treated as strong proof that the Riot account belongs to the Saiki user.

You do not need to enable replays, show timestamps, make chat public, request a Riot data archive, or upload a ZIP file. Saiki does not receive chat logs through this flow.

What you will see

The report has two different layers:

  • six self-report scores calculated from questionnaire answers;
  • up to five experimental gameplay indicators calculated from recent match statistics.

Honesty-Humility remains self-report only. Strategic Play reports economy and tempo and is not an IQ score. Read the report interpretation guide before treating a high, low, matching, or divergent value as meaningful.

Next Steps

  • Confirm your game name, tag line, and region
  • Complete the Saiki self-report questionnaire
  • Read how the match-data lookup works
  • Interpret gameplay values as experimental indicators
