Tyler1’s not the only Backseat buddy in town anymore – your favorite streamer and cosplayer Emiru takes the stage as your newest in-game companion! Plus, a crazy amount of new features as we head into the next chapter of our early access test.
Emiru is a longtime League of Legends player, so it was a mutually awesome experience collaborating on this. Just like Tyler1, Emiru aligned with our mission of building new ways for creators to engage with their community – but with a twist compared to Tyler’s brash persona.
Beyond improving your gameplay, Emiru brings her chill vibes and words of encouragement as your companion!
To show our thanks, current subscribers of the Tyler1 Backseat buddy will be able to play with Emiru for free from September 29-October 2 (11:59 PM PT), 2024. Give it a try, and you’ll be able to purchase Emiru’s voice pack starting at $4.99 / month afterwards. Head on over to the FAQs for more information, or drop us a line in the Discord.
On top of Emiru, we’re also shipping a ton of new features designed to help you level up and have more fun on the rift!
Prepare your loadout with the best builds & runes (which you can import directly to your game), team comp insights, and pick & ban suggestions based on what’s winning in high elo! Get that team diff even before the game starts and bag those W’s.
From champion-specific mechanics to how to play your lane, we’ve refined the micro strategy coaching advice your buddy gives you, tailored to your matchup. They’ll get into the details of how to best use your abilities, countering enemy champ’s playstyle and runes, and much more – everything you need to outplay your opponents!
Your buddy will give you tips on how to react and rotate once your team (or the enemies) takes objectives such as turrets and dragons. It’s crucial to be able to adapt to a new game plan as each match unfolds. Stay one step ahead of your opponents and strategize accordingly!
Play around those crucial teamfights, ganks, and objectives by tracking them with in-game timers. Use these in addition to the dynamic in-game overlay which shows your stats versus the enemy laner’s – such as gold per minute, kill participation, and CS per minute – for some clean wins.
Tonka T’s still going strong – sounding crispier than ever! You’ll recognize some of your favorite catchphrases for that classic Tyler1 experience.
We’ve still got way more in store for you in the coming months:
Build your way to that dub – track your gold progress towards buying your next recommended item.
Play smarter against enemy builds – get notified when an enemy buys an item that counters you, and how the item works.
Optimize your gameplay – know which skills to level up and compare how your enemy laners are doing in gold.
We hear your feedback – we’re making improvements based on user feedback such as updating pick suggestions based on enemy comps, and letting you select your default flash position when importing recommended runes.
Leveling up coaching – your buddy will be giving more informative coaching advice and less hallucinations.
The party’s only gonna grow bigger from here – our third buddy’s right around the corner. 👀 Any guesses who?
The team’s been hard at work cooking up new features, improvements, bug fixes, and partnering with your favorite creators.
We want to give a special shoutout to Backseaters on the waitlist, we really appreciate your patience as we’ve been working on making Backseat better and more stable as we move up the waitlist.
Until recently, core infrastructure problems and server costing issues made it difficult for us to onboard more testers. We’ve partially resolved that, so we should be able to ramp up testing intake more and more over the coming months.
Thanks for sticking around and building Backseat AI with us – hope to see you around the Discord community, where you can tell us what you want to see next!
