Thanks for the best skins you make. 100% Elderflame fan:)) looking forward to other skin bundles
Aw, glad to hear you love Elderflame. :) It was the toughest skin we made so I'm really glad that players seem to like it. Was fun seeing it used in the NA First Strike finals this weekend.
Hey so I went ahead and re-recorded the video. I also found a video editor (but it put a damn watermark over the video, hopefully it's still readable)
The equip animation looks to be on par with the default skin. However, I think the issue becomes more apparent when you hold down "fire" when equipping the rifle:
It leads me to believe that instead of the animation being longer, it's just not communicated properly as to when you can shoot, as seen in the 3rd last frame - the default phantom is primed and ready while the singularity still looks like it's forming.
On a separate note, the "black hole" appears two frames before the actual bullet is fired, and jumps to the muzzle.
On your last note, where the black hole is appearing is the position of the gun where its fired first, but the animation pop is so fierce that it moves the gun basically one frame after it fires. You can actually see an extreme example of this if you fire your gun during the 2nd half of an inspect when the muzzle is all the way on the left side of your screen.
Credit to Myth, true sportsmanship from him. Gg 100T let’s goooo
We like this
dead game btw
Damn I didn’t get the memo. Do I not show up to work tomorrow?
Huh that's interesting. I noticed there being a "cut" in the animation if you hold down fire with the singularity phantom. Is this intentional?
yeah technically all weapons can be fired ever so slightly be fore the equip or reload animation is done. it may vary from weapon to weapon but if you try it on most automatic weapons you'll see a pop thatll probably cut off the last 10ish frames of the animation. its a bit of wiggle room that allows some flexibility for a player to feel it out (roughly the gun is steady)
That's so sweet. I can relate! My first day at Riot was League's world championship finals in 2013. My mom (she is not a gamer) was so supportive of me that she watched a bunch of group stages with me before she helped me move to California and she went to the finals with me as my +1. And she kind of knew what was going on because she said something like "I thought they would win, they had more gold!" at one point.
It was a big deal to me because I had made a huge career switch by joining Riot and I was moving across the country to join Riot, so it meant so much to have her take an interest in League. She's been really supportive of VALORANT too, watching trailers and stuff I send her.
u/Asomboy4 i took a quick look at your video, cropped out both sections and displayed them ontop of one another. On first look the timing of them are pretty close, with some minor differences being caused by the floating rocks on Singularity. i tried to get both to show their first frame of equip, or rather the first frame available after your knife is gone, and I noticed each Ion equip had you firing almost immediately making it difficult to capture the true end of that base equip. I'll take a look more in depth tomorrow at the files themselves to confirm.
Here is the video of them both displayed at the same time

<3 No worries. We hate when you all feel bad about stuff. Like actually feel super bad. This job is a passion, so we all take it to heart. :(
Yup, I'll provide an update when I have one. I don't know if it'll make it to patch notes since that takes localization time (it has to be translated into lots of languages), but I can post a reply to this thread at the very least. Investigation can take a little while though, so don't be surprised if I don't have an update right away.

Read moreThank you for taking your time to look at it!! Love the work you're doing with the skins :)
If there is/isnt a problem, would it be possible to let us know before patch notes drop?

Read moreHey, all! It's Sunday night, so the cosmetics dev team is enjoying their weekend. I'm going to have them take a look at this tomorrow to investigate when we're at work.
If this is an issue (even though OP says you can actually shoot before the anim "completes"), please trust us that it was unintentional and we'll try to fix it. We never intend to make things pay-to-lose or pay-to-win.
If it's not actually an issue after we investigate (some of you below have pointed out the videos aren't side-by-side, so some of this might just be "feel"), thanks for still reporting it. We make these skins for all of you and we honestly do appreciate bug reports, general feedback, and "feel" type feedback we get. This is why custom anims are very tricky--it can be the same exact timing but sometimes "feel" slower, or even "feel" faster. We test extensively for this, but sometimes we will screw it up. Not saying we did here YET (still gotta look at this with the team)!
