Holy f**k it’s beautiful
Holy f**k it’s beautiful
Thank you, it really is. I never bought the original Oni but that's gonna change now.
Everything looks great, I just want to hear the vandal clearer because it sounds really suppressed which is something I probably wouldn’t like. We will see soon though.
It's hard to tell in the trailer because so much cool stuff and music is going on. Wait for the in-client videos or when it's in-game and lmk what you think.
maybe they could reword oni 1 and add custom firing sound. and add to oni 2.0 too. but oni 1 is one of the most loved skins in the game so that didnt happen. at least katana and claw is good
There is custom firing sound (although there was not in original Oni).
Half my collection is going to look like an Arizona Green Tea ad. Can't wait, thank you for sticking with the OG variants!
:D
Thank you! We wanted to make sure fans of the original Oni could build on their collection to have it all look uniform, so happy you're happy!
Do you know if that music is available on spotify or something? That beat at the end hit kinda different.
I don't know but I'll be watching it on Youtube in the meantime!
Unrelated question but are you required by riot to have a reddit acc for work stuff? I'm curious since your acc name has riot.
No, I made it so I remember it's a work account.
Do the bullets have sound effects? The vandal sounds like it
They do. There is firing audio, unlike original Oni. But it's subtle because we wanted it to feel good for people who preferred the default sound of original Oni (so it's not as prominent like it is for skins like Araxys, for example).
Do you have an idea if it was ever considered to make n oni skin for a sheriff or operator? I personally love this skin line but I don't really use the bulldogs or the aries. Most players can vouch that the gun selection was odd for such an overhyped 2.0 skyline.
We decided this a long time ago (Oni has been in development for about 2 years). IIRC we felt we had a lot of top tier Sheriff and Operator skins, so we wanted to include some guns that had less evolving skins.
when do you plan to run out of ideas for skins ? :D
jokes aside tho, as a sucker for ninjas and samurais, ive imagined the oni katana 100 times in my head and this is still better than that. congrats !
this is such a nice comment, thank you! gonna tell the team!
oh you made me blush lol, thank you so much.
You know the Raze pretty please spray (https://tenor.com/view/raze-pretty-please-spray-raze-valorant-uwu-please-gif-26098791)? We just made an icon for it in slack after I told the team what you said!
Shut up and take my money
Take mine too
Wait, what? You don’t just have it for free? Legit mindblown lol.
No, we play like players and have to unlock and pay for all the stuff same as players. I prefer it that way because I feel good about the stuff we're making if I am buying/grinding for it too.
You guys did a great job, when the teaser dropped yesterday I immediately re-equipped the Oni Shorty, Bucky, and Guardian that I haven't used in months. Phantom was already set to Oni. I'm looking forward to having the full Oni 1.0 and 2.0 Collection equipped with the katana.
that's so hype! you'll have the full set! what's your favorite variant?
Except you made the red variant half blue ?????
What do you mean? If you mean the blue paint swipe, that's also on the Oni Phantom
Huh, I always thought Riot employees would at least get a small amount of Creds or RP, and now I know you guys dont.
You're right, we get a play fund, which is awesome: https://www.riotgames.com/en/work-with-us/life-at-riot/riots-play-fund. It's a nice perk. I'm terrible though because I end up spending more than that because I buy so many games and skins. I've already spent more than $400 in 2023 between Steam games, 2 Nintendo Switch games, and VALORANT skins and it's not even March.
Weird. Seems like having devs using the skins in game would be a net positive.
We have internal test accounts we use for internal playtests (while we are also testing out new agents, maps, etc.), so we get that net positive for testing the skins to make sure they're working well, bugs, etc.
Question regarding this, how come the same variants weren't introduced to ion 1.0, and why did prime 2.0 have diff colors? Personally speaking, I'd like all of them to be matched. I don't own them all, but just a personal thing
Ion - we wanted to make variants but our team was very small and we didn't have time, so we chose between either Reaver or Ion having variants
Prime//2.0 - it's not the same as original Prime (new design entirely), so we wanted to add new variants; Ion, Oni, RGX, and Reaver are continuations of the same theme but Prime//2.0 is a re-invention
Would it be rude if I ask how many skins you have or how much u spent?
Not rude. I actually don't know because I never checked.
Yeah that katana with the sheating animation will legit make me lose duels. Ill be spamming that going around corners and get smoked because I'm drooling over that animation. Its amazing
same - like the karambit for me. im always running around inspecting it.
