Hello! Thanks for all your work on the game. What's your ideal skin theme? I'd love some kind of iridescent/crystal themed skin. Much love :)
Also - shout-out to Preeti for Edison + RU rep! I love your sociology work. I want to follow in your footsteps :')
OMG RUTGERS AND EDISON REPRESENT!
My research at Rutgers with Prof. McLean is ultimately what lead me to Riot, so I owe him and Rutgers SO MUCH.
My ideal skin theme is everything edgy.
I wonder what even made them not do this in the first place
We're actually a pretty small team, so we had to make some hard calls to do some stuff but not other stuff. Imagine if we we'd done melee variants for Elderflame but that meant we didn't make Prime skins at all. :(
Once we have more artists on the team, we'd like to start doing melee variants. I don't know if we'll go back to add them to old sets or focus on the new ones though. It'll depend what players want more at that time. We run lots of surveys to figure out what players want, so it might seem like lots of folks on reddit want something but the wider playerbase is actually wanting something else instead.
My favorite skinline is Reaver because I'm an edgelord
same!
I have a question. Outside of being an incredibly reliable, high quality and uber-player-focused team on VALORANT (all opinions are my own)... what are you most proud of this year?
We are so proud that we've helped bring a little bit of joy to players this year.
How do you guys get the inspiration to come up with new themes of skins? Reaver (dark), Ion (Sci-fi), etc?
Anything can give us inspiration! An image, a word, or even a memory. The Winterwunderland skins were inspired by a trip that u/oniram177 took a few years ago.
Will the christmas skin bundle (which is out right now) only be available during christmas time and not be in rotation afterwards?
It will go into the rotating afterwards!
Any chance on making more 'larger' (feeling) maps like Icebox compared to Split (which feels tiny) and also any plans to make a 2-storied map (Bombside B on lower floor, A on upper floor)
Wish we could answer this but that's the Maps team. We'll suggest they do their own AMA for you all!
Hey I’m just gonna ask this on behalf of everyone since it’s on the front page, spinning sheriff when?
Our animator isn't here :(
anything you guys would be willing to share! gunbuddies, sprays, skins, anything just for a little teaser
Does this count? We'll eventually make a buddy for Dan the Penguin, but he isn't in the next battlepass.
we will never stop asking Preeti
we will continue to post, continue to comment, continue to ping, until you make it a reality
TEAL AXE TEAL AXE TEAL AXE
a compelling case, i will consider
also <3
Miss you, friend. <3 <3 <3
You guys have been smashing it with every skin design! I love seeing your work.
Question: Will you ever consider adding other guns to previous skin lines? Myself and many other people would love to see new gun skins in previous skin collections. I would definitely spend some money on something like a Glitchpop Phantom or even something like a Reaver Stinger.
Thank you, this is really nice of you! :)
Maybe! We've talked about wanting to add more guns to existing skin lines! I'd love a Reaver Phantom personally.
Can you guys give us a little hint as to what's coming in the next battlepass?
oooooooh what kinda hint do you want?
*do you hate teal axes ;~;
If you come back, I'll give you a teal axe.
Sometimes I go to check what is going to be in the next patch on ValorantLeaks :)
Same! I know the minute the patch goes out because the dataminers are on top of it!
teal axe?
OMG CHRIS TOM
Do you guys like ValorLeaks on Twitter? Also any hints on future skins?
I love leaks.
i thought they fired by the title
We got dropped?
