Lead producer, please consider adding outlaw skins with finishers! I am eagerly waiting to give Riot my money but I'm delaying any purchases until after that purchase. I'm sure there are more like me as well! :)

I hear you! It's going to take a little while because it takes a long to make skins with Finishers (lot of art, love, and cares goes into each one). We basically started "big" skins for Outlaw right after we finished making the default gun, and we didn't want to delay releasing the gun just because of "big" skins, so that's we released a few simple skins first (Prism, Ego, and now the Battlepass skin). But those higher tier Outlaw skins are coming...it's just going to take a few months.

Yeah i watched few different videos on it and i think i changed my opinion. It really does offer a lot but you really need to take time with it and slowly soak in everything the skin has to offer. That said, this will probably be a buy from me.

Thanks for checking it out! I agree it takes some time to appreciate the details - it is art, after all!

Despite the negative comments, I can't imagine how many working hours are in those skins. It can be a lot of work.

It does take a lot of work! The teams involved put a lot of passion and love into it!

Will have to check it out! That's exactly what I expect from a skin that evokes a doom vibe so I want that heavy demonesque bass on it.

Awesome! Well I hope you like it! The Phantom has this cool volcanic ash sound so it’s nice they don’t sound too similar.

Like the melee, but it feels like a reskin with some new effects. Personally 7/10 but depends on the price and what we get in it.

It’s a brand new animation set, which might be hard to see here. New equip/pull out, new swipes, new idle pose, new running animation, and new inspect. Let me know what you think when you see it in-game!

It looks cool, but the sounds on the guns is a bit disappointing, I was expecting a really bass heavy sound but it was kinda normal sounding....

It’s hard to hear in videos. Let me know what you think when it’s in the game. The Vandal especially has a really nice demonic growl sound (not sure how to describe it) on the firing sound.

Correct! It’s molten lava.

Love that you all are supporting the teams this way. I understand in CS its a HUGE boon to the players. Really nice job designing these and I love that it's the Classic as it's a great way to show your support at all times.

Thanks so much for the kind words!

We know this is something the community has wanted for a long time - both to support their favorite team and rep them in-game!

VFX is nice, but any unique animations?

Unique animation when you inspect (has the team name, logo, etc.).

Also has unique sounds, firing audio, and kill sound (kill banner).

Hi there! We tried something new with this buddy tech-wise so it detects if your teammate is using it too. We thought people would like this tech for this kind of buddy specifically for Duo's Day (it's a nice reminder you're playing with your duo, or maybe a way to find your future duo in a random game!?). It felt like it fit the theme of the day well, so we put in a little extra work to make it special. Some people seem to like it but I know not everyone will be into it.

Sorry to hear you'd prefer the normal tech we use for buddies like Luna and Celestial (and for Xerofang too), where they react when you fire your gun. We're always experimenting with new things for buddies, so I'm sure we'll make another reactive buddy like Luna/Celestial one day, but I'm sure we'll also experiment with other tech (which maybe will be your thing or won't).

I hope you'll still try out your Duo's Day buddy and maybe it'll turn out you like it even though its sometimes angry and some...

oh, bizarre. have you noticed that from any of the other Ion weapons? I can let our team know about that and look into fixing it. It would also help if you've got a video of that happening

Have both. They are different. The vibe is different. Like, you may prefer pink overdrive, but pink overdrive is unusable for full pink collections.

by full pink collections, are you wanting something like just 100% that color like how Araxy's purple is just overwhelmingly purple? Are there any other skins youd use that hit what you're after for full pink (battlepass or otherwise)

I wish more people would stand in the finisher. I'm the only one on my teams.

Thanks for reporting this - I sent it to the team to check.

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 legg...
