Will the new variant for the Oni Ion Phantom be available to buy with radiants for players who already have it? I really like this skin.

Which one are you talking about?

They're the best team ever. They've been working so hard despite being a small team and dealing with whatever horrible mess the year 2020 has been for the world. It's been a tough year for all of us (and all of you), so it's nice to see comments like this. :)

Oh, so that's a sheet of early concepts for Oni variants. You can see that some of those made it into the game and others didn't.

It's amazing how such a nice game was made during a lockdown. Thank you so much for your work, i don't have enough words to show how grateful i am for a game that changed my life in so many ways.

Same. I don't have enough words to say how much it means to us that you all care so much. This game has helped us all stay sane during a really, really hard year.

Hey, you mind explaining the night market thing coming tomorrow?

That awesome feature is actually something our Store team built! My team just makes the cosmetics (art-focused). The Store folks should be the ones to have all the fun of unveiling it!

You know, everyone hypes of the skins so lemme shout out the gunbuddies. Y'all do some sick work on those. Honestly I think the gunbuddies are my fav items in the game

I beg of you, please please pitch the idea of making Glitchpop skins for other guns (either vandal or phantom) that skin line is so cool, but I don’t use the guns in there unfortunately

no troll but how come you all like glitchpop so much? what's cool about it?

It's colorful but not too harsh, interesting, unique, and for me it has a sort of "grit" that other skins don't have.

Please could you make a glitchpop phantom. I would easily drop 40 for that.

Ah! Explain the grit to me, if you don't mind. Curious if I'm thinking the same thing.

For me it’s the aesthetic of it. The VFX / finisher. The variants. Imo it was the best skin line but for the wrong guns. Again, just my opinion 😀

I love the variants as well. It has custom sound too, but it's more subtle than our other custom skin audio.

Not OP, but I think a cyberpunk-inflected, techno-dystopia aesthetic is on the rise right now, due to how relatable it is. The Glitchpop collection has a chaotic edge that sets it apart from most of the skins that have been released so far. The Wasteland skin line also possesses a "gritty" feel but subscribes to a post-technology dystopian vision, which is less relevant (at least for now).

We're in agreement on grit, then! :)

Not the person you’re replying to, but I LOVE the potato aim one. There’s just something awesome about having a tiny potato dangling from my gun.

I also love the twitch prime F key one!

Potato Aim actually came from a contest we did at Riot, so different employees submitted their favorite ideas and the winner got their buddy made in-game.

I love the F key too! We came up with that one one evening when we were trying to think of fun stuff to do for the Amazon Prime drops. It seems like a lot of people like it. We've thought about doing other keys, like maybe a W key, if you're like some of us who can't stop holding W...especially on CT side...
