[2021] VALORANT Premium Content Team, AMA on skins, sprays, and more (3:30PM PT–5:30PM PT)

Originally posted by bprdc

cinetose here! So, how the Premium Content Team can manage so many variables like putting a new bundle every 14-days; making exclusive skinline "out of the schedule"; brainstorm for new ideas; maybe fix or find some glitches; all the developing time before move to Marketing Team? I'll be honest, it seems like a lot of work.

Thanks for all the love you all gave to us this year. Happy Holidays! (Preeti, Reaver Vandal Black/Red still the best, maybe we can dreaming about some Phantom...)

someone said we would get special kill feed skins that match the gun you're using.
WHERE IS IT.?

Will we ever get another Ultra quality skinline again? Like Elderflame 2.0 or another skinline that has yet to be revealed?

Will we be seeing another "End of Year" blog post from your lovely little team just like last year?

Are there ever plans to modify already-released skins?

I say this, because the champion karambit looks so tiny in-game, and also from other's perspectives compared to other knives, and I think making it bigger could make it look nicer.

will skins come to prime gaming? i feel like valorant is reaching that point where free primary weapon skins would be okay

Originally posted by SouljaIsSpy03

Which Guardian skin is your favorite? Mine's gotta be teal Prime, but the yellow RGX is a close second!

Originally posted by Tigerkwan

Just wanted to say that I started playing valorant recently and I'm really enjoying it, (premium content and all) Thank you riot games <3

Originally posted by Retro-Indietro

Hello, after all this trial and error, what do you guys think are the community's preferred/most appreciated characteristics of the most popular gun skins that you aim to focus on for future gun skins?

Originally posted by MrImpregnator

First, I wanted to thank you for the amazing content throughout the year. I had few questions. More esports related.

1- Will there be skins for the winner of champions 2021 ( would love to have a team skin collection like league )

2- In the video released today, Anna said there will be ways in which we can support our favourite teams next year. I assume they will be gun buddies, player cards and sprays. Can you give some insight on this? Are there any other addition like stickers the team is currently considering?

give me churro gun buddy

Originally posted by Key-Heart517

Champions bundle was awesome and I love using it. Can you guys tell us why you guys chose karambit as a melee? Like why not butterfly, claw or axe. Was there any specific reason for it?

Originally posted by eeVaderbae

Will we see top finishers in other sets like brimstone in the champions set?

Originally posted by Vatan_

Will you ever consider bringing back certain bundles?

Originally posted by JPfirelol

1. is there a churro melee on the way, and
2. when can we expect the churro melee, and
3. Preeti how do you like your dyson airwarp? ive heard its pretty nice but i was hoping for a non-biased opinion

Originally posted by FamousSession

You ever going to give the Shorty some love? It only has 3 store skins, only one of which is upgradable.

Originally posted by Sukatuo

Any plans on a minima 2.0?

Originally posted by Kovsru

You guys have said that agent skins are not something that you are looking into, what about agent accessories?

For example: Watches, rings, gloves and bracelets

Originally posted by Rumblemike

Don't worry, I can confirm a churro gun buddy will be coming to the game in the future. No need to make a presentation.

Originally posted by RiotGreenily

Totally not a dev here KEKW More green skins WHEN??

ps: preetz marno and the team are pog

Why don’t knife skins have colour variations or finishers?

Also, I apologize for all the churro spam. Kinda.

What was the hardest skin or skin effect to create? Do you have a favorite agent contract gun?

I absolutely loved the Nunca Olvidados collection, it was so obvious how much care and love was put into it. Gracias por todo <3

Can we get a fried dessert skin themed set? Donuts and churros (and beignets and funnel cakes) please?

Originally posted by namdet

Would you guys ever do a bundle with the following guns:

Frenzy

Stinger

Ares

Odin

Would love to see a "spray" gun bundle with these because I think it'd be hilarious

But also, is there a limit to creativeness when it comes to melees? I would love to see more dual knives in the future, or maybe a knuckle-esque type melee in the future

Originally posted by TornOrchid

Stinger, Phantom, Marshall, Ghost, New knife

Originally posted by RemiixTY

No

Originally posted by Kazhani

Stop trolling me bro😢. Okay but now im gonna be serious and i found more vandal skins much better designed and the effects seem much more attractive if that makes sense. But there are a few phantoms i rate highly like ion, oni or prime. Maybe a more "powerful" shooting effect would be interesting

Originally posted by DystryR

What exactly is the business (or otherwise) reason for this? I'm curious

Originally posted by unknowninbr

If you could add new variations for an already-released skinline, how would this variarion be and which skinline?

Originally posted by lordkr321

We love it <3 Valorant’s skin system, even though kinda expensive, is the best designed cosmetic system out there of any multiplayer game.

NO! I do enjoy Ruination, but I think we want a Phantom with the same/similar style. IDK tho, ur the creative guy here <3

Originally posted by Vatan_

rgx 11z or sentinels of light or ruination, those imo are the best looking skins and as a community we can al agree we love the cards aswell as the gun buddies.

Originally posted by Parachuteee

Are you referring to the candy stick? I didn't realise that has been a year

Originally posted by Larry_Bobarry

What about a competitive advantage?

Originally posted by mistercleaver

I loved Minima as well! A very cool skin at a reasonable price. It and the Infantry series are two lines that I think people look over because of the price. Both are extremely cool

Originally posted by Byrdman1023

How do you decide which skin lines get a 2.0? For example Prime has gotten 2 different bundles but Reaver has only gotten one. Is it based on popularity of the skins?

Originally posted by ChooseAUsername501

Gun buddy/player card store?

Originally posted by LuchsG

So make it one, if you know what I mean ;)

WHERE ARE ALL THE PLANT BASED SKINS AT

Originally posted by FloxaY

It was a great question, Shiick... but then you mentioned Brim.

Originally posted by krejcii

What are limits? Are you held back in any way of your personal art creations? Or are you free to kinda just create whatever you think would work?

Originally posted by oniram177

It’s an Easter egg not a feature :P

Mage punk 3.0? and churro gun buddy?

Originally posted by pirateofthearabian

The Gravitational Uranium Neuroblaster bundle. It is beautiful, and a dozen ideas pop up in my head when I think of a finisher for it; like a flying saucer abducting the last player killed for example. Why did you guys decide not to have a finisher on that skin bundle? Don't tell me you guys didn't get any good ideas.

Originally posted by leiferikson__

Hey there! First things first: I love you guys, really, each one of you on the team! Thanks for the time and heart you all pour into each skin, gun buddy, spray and player cards you've released month after month. Singularity was the first bundle I bought, love at first sight, and since then I couldn't find myself to stop. So yeah, financially broke but my inventory is filled with the coolest skins I’ve seen in an FPS game, can’t go wrong with that.

Without further ado, I have a few questions I would love to get answered:

1. Have you thought of adding variants to previous melee skins? or is there even a chance of it happening?
2. Any plans on pro team skins? Would 100% cop a KRÜ themed phantom.
3. As for the little presence of bulldog and marshal skins in premium/exclusive packs, do you plan to consider them more on the future?
4. Are there still any gunbuddy easter eggs left to discover?
5. Final question: IS SINGULARITY 2.0 A THING PLEASE OMG IF NOT PLEASE DON’T HESITATE

Thanks in advance, keep on doing that amazing work! And YES TO TACTICAL CHURRO!

P.S: Hot dog gunbuddy when???

I figure if I keep suggesting ridiculous content eventually some will sneak through. :P Don't tell u/Riot_Preeti

Originally posted by Ctrk

Hi! Coming from a lover of Valorant skins and art student in the final years of HS, what kind of education would one need to get to do what you guys do? PS. Love the recon skin-line, give a pat on the back to whoever decided to give it a vertical/angled grip ♡

Originally posted by Gutterworks101

How dare you u/Riot_PJacques! If it was up to me every gun would be Radianite themed!

I wanna preface this by saying definitely not the Creative Director, but I just ran into him in an artisanal cup cake store on Abbot-Kinney.

When I told him about this AMA he said that you are all so amazingly talented and how he loves so much all that you do for the team. He actually had a bit of a tear in his eye. He said keep you being you and your spirit, joy and creative passion makes him so grateful and happy that you are in his life.

Oh he ran off and left I think he got too emotional…
