Also avalanche skin line readded to the game.

That was fast! What do you think? :)
Any word on the reaver skins? I really liked the knife animation.
No word on Reaver yet. Some stuff from Closed Beta will come back, but not everything. And whatever does come back will be updated, even if it's a slight update.
They're extremely well done. Grats my dude
Are we going to see designs evolve in the future? At the moment it feels we're playing it rather safe with skins, which is fine tbh.
If we get a rebel wasteland in valorant I'd be happy af.
Oh what do you mean by evolve? And what would be less playing it safe? Tell me more! :)
I first thought the sword theme is leaking a new agent (there were some rumours about a crusader agent and there have been more leaked SFX for other possible agent abilities)
Can you say "I can't confirm or deny this" if every skin bundle somewhat represents one agent?
Reaver Set = Omen
Sovereign Set = Crusader
Prime Set = Dogbot
Our skin collections aren't explicitly tied to agents, except for the agent guns you see in the agent contracts (e.g., Sage's Final Chamber Classic gun).
Hey thanks for changing the avalanche skins to remove the orange parts, change material, and add the animation on preview! It's nice that you are listening to the community :)
We heard you! :)
NGL, that's super sexy. I didn't like the pullout animation at first but now I'm in love. Reminds me of csgo bayonet
I personally love the sound when you swing it.
Amazing. Easily my favorite ghost I’ve seen in game
<3
Really nice aesthetics. Great work!
Thank you! :)

No problem, always great to hear when you all notice these small changes. The animation should also be more noticeable on all skins in-game as well!
Are these skins based on the aesthetics of Demacia from League? The gold and white design looks super similar, plus the sword falling down upon kill looks and sounds a lot like a certain champion's ult...
Haha! Nope, not related to Demacia. We envisioned the Sovereign world as its own unique world. You'll see touches of that world in the design of the skin, its accessory content, etc.
Is there any chance that you devs will announce skin collections before release? I’m not sure whether to wait to buy skins or purchase some now. I think mimicking league (through showcasing skins before a patch) would be good so people can get hyped for newer skins. Also another question, when is the next skin collection with upgradable aspects (like the prime collection) coming out?
P.S. : loving the skins so far, great work.
Thanks for the nice comment! <3
Not sure if we'll announce skin collections before they're released. We might do teasers, but unsure yet since we're still early in the game's release. Lots of things to be decided and that need support!
Oh what do you mean by evolve?
Evolve may not be the best word, but how they will change in the future. At the moment you can tell that most if not all the skins in the game are currently keeping in theme with the game of this futuristic, royal-ish type look.
It's hard to describe, but the best way I can think of saying it is this way: While the skins look amazing, they tend to blend with one another and I can't seem to remember them on their own as I would with something as an asiimov in CS for an example.
With evolution I'm talking of how they're going to change as we go forward and people get more comfortable with the pallet. Are we going to perfect this futuristic style, or are we going to break it in some spots and see how we can push it while still keeping it in taste.
And what would be less playing it safe
It goes in line with this comment:
At the moment you can tell that most if not all the skins in the game are currently keeping in theme with the game of this futuristic, royal-ish type look.
I personally would love for my skins to stand on their own and give their personality to the weapon. I mentioned the wasteland rebel in my original comment and it's because the skin itself feels like it tells a story while still keeping the theme of CS. They're playing it safe, but still making the skin a really good highlight on its own
On the other end we would have something like a Neon rider that breaks every theme in CS, but still somehow manages to stay in taste with the game and not seem like something extremely far fetch. The skin makes the gun scream for attention while somehow still blending correctly with the gameplay, the sound and feel of the gun.
If I had to compare it to skins in the game it would be like this:
The base prime skin line seems something like for lack of a better word, royalty would use. The skins catch your eyes while still being classy in line with its theme, but they still feel somehow muted. They don't have this showing of power that you'd expect of something so royal looking, they don't feel like a prized possession that you'd expect from something so high end.
The galleria phantom skin also suffers from this. The idea of the skin is extremely good and it's so close to being an amazing skin, but at the moment it feels a bit like a bunny slapped on top of some red lines, that while looking really good, it fails to distinguish itself from the rest of the skins.
Now I'm not an artist, I'm far from that actually so my feedback may not be the best, but this is how I feel about the skins in the game. They look good, but they just blend with each other and fail to leave a lasting impression on me that makes me want to buy them. I want things that click with me as a person and there's a few that are actually extremely close to that (the galleria specifically, I love it), but they're just that small change away from being so. They feel safe
Hopefully I did a good job explaining my mind on this. Rather hard to do so. That being said you guys have been doing an extremely good job in general with the game and it's the same with the skins, that's why I'm excited to see where we go from here on out.
Edit: Also using cs because the game left the biggest impression on me as far as skins go. I don't play it much, but some of the skins are just that impactful on their own.
Oh wow! Thank you so much for this super thoughtful explanation! I think I understand what you're getting at. Maybe you'll feel like we hit it once we release more skins and you see more distinct diversity in the themes. I'm curious what you think once we've released a few more skin lines, whenever that may be.
Skin itself is nice. And so are the others. But imo I think that less popular skins (guardian, Marshal, and stinger) should be options in the bundles. Tbh, I would’ve got the prime bundle if the guardian wasn’t there. Also any chance the reaver bundle is coming back, because that and prism were really good as they had main guns such as phantom, vandal, ops, and really sick knives.
I can't confirm if Reaver or Prism or any skins from Closed Beta (Ronin, Imperium, etc.) are coming back. Some stuff will, and others were just prototypes so they won't be back. If anything does come back, it'll come back with at least a slight update like we did with Luxe and Avalanche.
Your team is so skilled. Keep it up 👍
You are sweet. Thank you! <3
Where's the prism collection?
Copying my other comment:

Stop you’re making me regret spending all my points from the beta on the prime collection :(.... I want that glowing short sword... reminds me of bilbo and Frodo’s sword from LOTR
I'm making myself spend all my points too! I love both melees.
Was the little world tree banner from the beta removed completely or will there be a way to obtain it in the future? I loved that banner so much
It's gone, at least in the form you saw. Long live the tree!
Hey, can u tell us if u are taking back Ronin and Imperium skins at any time soon?
I want ronin sheriff and OP and the imperium knife with me :(
Hi! The skins in closed beta were all temporary. If any of them come back (like Luxe and Avalanche did), it will be with some updates, even if slight.
Give us more operator skins!!!
You're not the only one to ask for that! ;)
f**k you rito take my money
The skin design so far is awesome. Would love to see evolving skins like what Apex has. I think your gun evolving throughout every match /round would be sick.
So happy Riot is doing such a good job with this game imo
lolol these kind of comments are great, ty! <3
