Maybe I'm just a zoomer addicted to flashing lights, but the premise of a "effectless" knife for 54€ is baffling.

The aura does look very good, but I would hate the pressure of being pushed to frag out every round looking at the knife, especially given I play smokes and also sometimes I would just prefer to chill and not sweat.

But primarily, 54€ for knife I would rarely see an effect on is too much. It's a real shame because I think if the champions aura was permanent and level 2, I think the Karambit could easily be the GOAT knife.

So you want the skin to blind you while you are top fragging? Sounds kinda funny. Top fragging? Just wait, we will make sure you bottom frag again for a mere 2650vp!

I honestly don't get all the negative comments this time around. Being able to do the Brim finisher every time would make it less special. Having the aura all the time is basically the same thing. The way it is rn you get a boost in confidence if you see your gun glow.

It's a nicer default vandal that rewards you for being good. Which is a refreshing and fitting theme for the champions bundle.

You get it! We very much went with this skin having features that celebrate greatness and aspirational play, much like being a champion. That’s why so much is tied to frags.

You did an awesome job and I absolutely love this set.

I am not easy to please and usually very critical about new skins (e.g. "not another sword", "a kill-counter only for the ongoing match?!", "why no magepunk vandal/phantom", "where is my butterfly knife with effects", "not another greenscreen skin" etc).

But this bundle is literally what I wanted.

A super clean melee preferably a smaller one like a dagger, butterfly knife or karambit with a nice pullout/inspect (crazy spins, check). It also shouldn't be too basic, so maybe some effects (champions aura, check).

As I prefer using the vandal over the phantom, I thought I was set with having the prime and reaver vandal. But oh boy, this will actually replace them both.

I always thought I need a different shooting sound and some fancy reload animations, but no. This is so much better. A super clean, premium "default vandal", that has a nice kill sound and the best finisher in the game hands down.

It's literally a default vandal going super sayjan 3 when you, the player, goes super sayjan 3 in an actual game lol. This is WAY better than having it shiny all the time. I also feel like this keeps the competitive integrity, which should be a key value for a skin bundle made for champions.

Oh and while writing all of that I almost forgot that "Die For You" is my current favorite song and I literally listen to it on repeat. The favorite part of the song? Well you guessed it... exactly what I get with the inspect!

TL;DR: You designed and created the PERFECT skin bundle I could ever wish for. Thank you very much. Awesome job!

This was a really sweet message, thank you. You definitely understand what we were going for in terms of the esports Champions brand. I LOVE the super saiyan comparison! Never thought to compare it to that, but it works!

I’m always happy when we satisfy players who say they’re normally really critical. Your complaints above were too real haha! We hold ourselves to a really high standard. I’m also a fan of Reaver and this skin is what got me to swap off it (and my Ruination sword).

I have a question. My karambit is not glowing even though I top frag and yes I have the upgrades. Is there something I'm not doing right?

Are you tied with anyone? You need to be top frag between both teams and not tied with anyone.
