smh he exposed the truths, and now suddenly "you're out".
tuck your tail under on your way out tonight sir.
no one here has a tail
Did he... get that Riot gun buddy or nah?
No, I'm out
Most of this thread is right: 1. Animated ones 2. Ones with sound 3. Ones with an agent or ability on them that could be mistaken for an agent/util 4. Ones we think aren't acceptable midround due to competitive integrity for any reason
I'd rather us be careful and ban a spray from mid-round that interfere with competitive integrity (also, ppl probably spray less midround than they do pre/post-round).
If there are sprays you think don't fit for mid-round, lmk. This sub has helped us refine our rules over time and led to us banning some sprays from midround that we previously missed.
How long ago did you all start working on this skin line ? It’s amazing well done. Reminds me of the sleeper stimulant from destiny with vibes from vipers arm.
I think if we count the initial concept sketches, maybe 2 years?
Wait, you guys don’t just get all the skins?!
Seeing as your games are F2P I figured Riot would at least chuck you some freebies
No way! I like that we don't get all the skins for free, tbh. Makes us think about what we're making (and who it's for) and play like players.
Respect the honesty haha
You have no idea how much I wanted to respond "you're getting one soon!" every time someone complained about no red/black Ion variant.
I love it. I actually got an extra copy of CoD MW II I’m selling to hopefully pick some of them up, just wanted to say your team has done an amazing job here. I don’t think I’ve been this impressed since maybe Protocol or Glitchpop. Even if I’m unable to afford this one just know that this is probably the coolest in game skins I’ve seen since Prelude, Glitchpop and Protocol.
Just wanted to say as someone who has been playing counter-strike since 1.5 I love the game, love the work you do and even if I’m unable to pick up this bundle it’s a work of art. Somehow took that “Halo” feel and made it even more badass.
Thank you so much for the kind words (I saw your comment in the other thread too, ty!).
I love to hear from former CS players how they're enjoying VAL and VAL's cosmetics. Makes me really happy we released our game!
Are there other skins the dev teams aren’t really into?
Plenty. We all have our favorites and least favorites.
For me, I'm into Ruination, Reaver, and Champions (both 2021 and 2022). Ion too. And Sentinels of Light and Gaia's, though I don't own either of them.
In terms of high tier skins, I don't really like BlastX, Magepunk, ChronoVoid, Glitchpop, or Oni. I think they're really well-done, but they're not my personal taste. Since we spend on own money on skins, I don't really know for sure if a skin is my kinda thing until it's in the Store and I have to decide if I want to spend my own money on it our not. Before that point, I'm too deep into thinking about who it's for and if that player will love it or not.
With Araxys, I loved it right away when I heard the firing audio. I immediately knew "yup, I'm getting the Vandal at the very least."
They look like they don't belong in the game or fit the artstyle but in a really good way!!
I love to hear this. It's what it means to create a really compelling alternate fantasy with a skin, so thank you!
yall did great work on the bulldog; I tend to like the lazer sound effects because they're just less loud, and these sound so good; the perfect amount of pew and crunch
Thank you! This Vandal and Bulldog are my favorites for firing audio. The first time I heard it, I thought maybe it was too much. Like right on the edge of "damn this is cool but also is it TOO out there?" We did a bunch of design testing on it (like we do with all skins) and got a really good response, so we felt it was in a good spot. Hope you love it once you try it!
i like the look ALOT, but now im wondering about the sound? i want to hear if its got an "aimbot" sound.
Personally, this may be my favorite for sound so far. The dev team was really into it too.
Now we know why we didn't get a black and red Ion variant...
It is true.
Sadly it's not fantasy, elemental or futuristic but I giving want some goofy skins, like Neptune, smite, divine swine etc.
Always good giggles in a intense game
TIL Neptune and Smite and Divine Swine are the same theme category

Smite is goofy now?
I love the singularity black hole style skin. And I will get this skin if there is a nice finisher.
Its sad if I see people hate on lower tier skins. I personally only buy premium high tier bundles because I like the animations and finisher. But you can clearly see the creativity and work going into all of the skins. Except the smite skinline of course.
Correct, Smite had extra creativity.
Thanks for the interview, really gives a different perspective on how skins are made (and yes, smite is the best skin in the game)
Thanks for reading it!
I'm waiting for the full Smite loadout.
TLDR:
Cryrostasis skin line is premium, has finisher VFX, banner, gets icy/snowy as you sneak around slowly but the ice breaks off when you shoot
Talks about the popularity of "elemental" skins such as fire ,water, electric. Art team member admits smite skinline wasn't executed well
Idea for skinline based off a russian sniper sitting in the snow waiting for his target, eventually becoming covered in ice
Dev mentions it's frustrating when people criticize non premium skin releases after they drop a big one
Smite is either the best skin in the game or the worst.
these are cute! love the KAY/O one!
