Personally, I am a fan and will be buying the whole thing.

I just wanna know how everyone else is feeling. I am sure riot will charge an arm and leg for it, but this is def one of the better bundles, and I feel like the standards should be set at this level for most skins. I will probably be picking up the white/black variants for all because collection things...

The biggest factor that I see when I buy a skin is the kill sound. If it’s good only then I buy it. Araxys had the GOATED kill sound which was an insta cop. Champs 2023 on the other hand had good visuals but I didn’t like the kill sound at all. So, as long as I get eargasms from kill sounds, I’ll buy any skin they bring in.

I think the kill sound is good. Let me know when you try it!

Disappointed that we still have to wait for a proper Outlaw skin

I think I said this on a stream, but it takes a while (several months, or even 1-2 years for a full set) to make a new high tier skin with animation, effects, audio, etc. We didn't want to delay the release of the Outlaw just for top tier skins, so we released Outlaw before high tier skins were ready. And as others have said on this sub, this was also a good approach (not delaying Outlaw just for skins) because it gave players time to learn the gun silhouette (in 1st and 3rd person), sounds (in 1st person), and animations (in 1st person).

Hey Preeti,

Thanks for all of your hard work! I absolutely LOVE the skins y'all come out with. (I might have a bit of a problem when it comes to buying skins ahaha :) )

Your team is incredible! I LOVE (again with the caps lol) the general aesthetic and I think you've done an incredible job of one-upping yourself every time. As someone who loves art + fashion, I'd be super excited to see what your team would create if you collaborated with interesting artists, fashion designers and industrial designers.

I would pay through my nose for a bundle that's a Valorant x James Jean collab. Or, Anna Sui. Maybe Alexandre Vauthier. Or, heck, I think Valorant has a deep enough cultural impact that you could probably get Jony Ive. If he's running around designing christmas trees, then why not a skin line?

(OMG, can you imagine Jony Ive sitting crossed legged on a meeting room table at Riot HQ; staring at metal replicas of a Vandal and a Phantom. "What's he doing?" / "He's meditating on the vandal's élan vital")

If these folks are too obscure, then maybe a more mainstream fashion icon or brand. It would be fascinating to see what the collab ends up creating.

I know this sounds bougie as heck, but isn't like 40% of the user base women? And a lot of adults/people who appreciate art / culture in general? I think that a skin collection by the guy who made prada's iconic fairy bag / art for guillermo del toro might actually resonate with a LOT of the userbase. PLUS it would be iconic and cool and you could go full Rick Owens with it. :)

I love the passion in your comment so much! Thank you! <3
