May I ask why the skin team seems to be against “total conversion” skins. Basically, why not make the sheriff literally lucians repeaters for the sentinel skin? Why not make the Operator literally Senna’s gun? I’ve thought about this when it comes to maybe throwing back to CS and releasing a deagle skin for the sheriff. I know it’s a different gun but people would get it.

We do it with the knives. I think a total and complete change in the model would be okay for guns too. Why does the skin team not like doing this?

I asked in a different thread, but why do the gun skins HAVE to be say, a revolver? Why not make the sheriff skin literally lucians repeaters? Why not make the OP Senna’s gun? It wouldn’t be confusing to players.

We want the guns to be recognizable as the base guns due to competitive integrity. If it was 1:1 Lucian's guns, it wouldn't be clear which gun in our game you were using, especially if you picked it up off the ground. We're very careful about maintaining design elements of the gun so they're always clearly recognizable.

Vandal is Lucian and Senna

Ares is Pyke

Sheriff is Graves

Sorry for the confusion, does this mean that the firing sound of the vandal takes from both Lucian and Senna's sfx from league?

Yes! Firing, equip, reload, and inspect!

Just on the Ruination Ghost. There's no Gwen on the Vandal. :)

Y’all are actually my favorite game devs. I’ve never seen devs being so open and a part of the community. Thank you guys so much.

aww thank you! Riot and VALORANT have been really awesome in encouraging us to talk to the community, so it's been great to be able to talk and not worry if we're saying anything out of line

Hey /u/riot_preeti, if this is something you are interested in doing let me know. I make content for Japanese and English speaking VALORANT fans (bilingual) and would love to put something out for the Japanese audience, completely localized with Japanese subs! Reach out to my DM if you’re interested :D

Hi! We've spoken to creators from other regions before! The best way to do this is for you to reach out to your influencer manager in your region!

Is there a way to tell in-game what champions the guns are based on?

Yup!

Vandal = Lucian and Senna; Operator = Akshan; Sheriff = Graves; Ares = Pyke; Melee (Relic of the Sentinel) = Riven

and will riot address this? or at the very least let us hide our account level after a certain threshold? because stuff like this just increases toxicity.

We heard ya'll about being able to hide account level. The team intends to look into this - no design or schedule yet but we do intend to add the ability to hide your level if you want to.

Not just spike rush, but all of the shorter team modes (snowball, escalation, replication etc.) will just give you more of the +50 win exp in a shorter time than any of the normal modes.

To clear something up: This feature gives progress based on in-game time. We did the math prior to launch to balance it so that it would equally respect your game time no matter what mode you favour.

The +50 win bonus shouldn't provide a real advantage vs rated/compet. There are also factors like queue times, agent select, loading and so on to also consider.

The two purple variants are kind of the same. Was hoping for three completely different ones tbh

We've tweaked them since we filmed this video. One is more pink/white and the other is a deeper purple. Take a look in game and tell us if they still feel the same!

I'm literally geeking out over these skins. Y'all really did a good job with these last two skin bundles. 👍

Thank you. The team is wonderful. :)

Thanks for the love on the skins, and the game itself! As an artist, it's been really fun and challenging to push what a weapon skin can be in a competitive shooter, even if we don't always get it 100% right.

I'm still watching the video, but +1 too! This video warmed my heart because our team works so hard hoping to make stuff that we hope players will fall in love with.

thank you! Our audio designer did a great job including all that League audio!

I just thought Senna is going to be Odin since she's kinda holding her sentinel weapon like an Odin. But Senna and Lucian together in Vandal is cool too. I'm assuming it would probably be like this too in the Ruined Phantom if Isolde is a playable champion. Who were the other champions for Ares and Sheriff?

Vandal = Lucian + Senna, Operator = Akshan, Melee = Riven, Ares = ???, Sheriff = ???

Sheriff = Graves Ares = Pyke
