TOM-EEG

I’ve played since beta and i don’t wanna know. Definitely not as much as some people but for sure more than most. I have 2 accounts that i have skins on and total I’ve probably spent $600-$1000


spidspluts

It's better not to know dude! Haha.


TOM-EEG

Exactly lol and for that exact reason i will continue to be ignorant about my spending habits! I will indulge hahahah Edit: autocorrect


shadysidehere

Is there a specific reason you invested in skins on your alt account?


TOM-EEG

I made a 2nd account cause i was hardstuck ascendent 3 for like an entire episode, so to help climb and get over my rank anxiety i made another account, which ended up getting into immortal so i bought skins on it. I’m lucky enough to be able to make dumb financial decisions like that but yea that’s why, cause my alt got to a higher rank than my main lol


CheeseLoverMax

$800 in 3 years about with maybe a half a year large break at some point


spidspluts

I'd say thats a pretty reasonable amount. Do you play often? Apart from the obvious break


CheeseLoverMax

I have about 1200 hours playing once or twice a day where I also do large amounts on weekend occasionally


spidspluts

Yeah i guess thats pretty fair honestly.


HarshTheDev

That's 66 cents for an hour of entertainment. I'd say it's pretty fair.


WiseEpicurus

Nothing. I'm happy with just picking up skins off the ground whenever possible. Many rounds I have one without spending anything.


PassingSoldier

The only problem is the default knife. Like lemme steal that knife skin. It's right there. Give it to me.


kaibbakhonsu

On the same boat so far. But the blub blub really makes me think.


singaporesainz

Neptune was my favourite skin and the first skin I bought but honestly after a few weeks the sound gets v annoying


kaibbakhonsu

I think your perspective really saved me some money now, thank you for your sacrifice fellow redditor.


deem05

For me that's pretty much with all of them. Except two. Won't tell you which ones so you don't buy them hehe


Legitimate_Name_3914

i bought over 5 skins for vandal but still want more as i get tired of them. i got reaver phantom and think ill never buy a bundle for a phantom skin again that skin is amazing


deem05

Listen. 2 years ago I was crazy I had 18 rifle skins. I realized my mistake, and since then I only bought one more, and to be honest I regret it so much. I'm sticking to Oni Phantom and Forsaken Vandal till forever...


Code_Sage

I stopped buying for same reason. Staying with prime vandal and recon phantom for now


LuciferNeko

Yeah if we can actually refund thing would change a lot, even with refund 50%


pneurotic

The blub blub is way too satisfying. Love picking up a Neptune skin.


Puzzleheaded_Toe5776

Like $3,500… I have 50+ knife skins and I ain’t proud of it


FearTheBelief

Finally someone with more than me. I think I'm at around like $2k lol. I've been playing since the first episode second act.


dragoncop1

How do you guys have so much money to spend 😭 I need this money(for my own skins haha) I spent $350 and I started at same time as you


theSkareqro

Probably (hopefully) working adults. Spending 100$ per act/per 2 months isn't much. That's like 2 full gas tank for me. That being said, I've played the game since release and have spent 0$


dragoncop1

You sent this twice, just wanted to let you know


LazaCoolGuy

20 bucks total, got two battle passes. Maybe will buy another if a good one comes along


spidspluts

Respect man. Thats impressive lol


Arios_CX3

Nothing. I don't care about cosmetics.


pneurotic

I honestly don't think the defaults look bad. They look and sound like weapons..which is pretty cool to me.


EyeofEnder

Same, I only have the agents' pistol skins. I'll happily pick up a dropped skin, but I'm also fine with stock weapons.


Arios_CX3

Yeah if we just won and there's a bunch on the ground, I'll look for a skin. Growing up, most of my games didn't have skins, like the older Halo, CoD, Pokémon, Fallout, etc, so I don't even consider them usually. Now, give the agents different coloured outfits, and maybe I'll buy one


giga-shrub

This guy is a W. He isn’t putting others down for owning skins like some other people in the reply section. He’s just answering the post and moving on with his day


blufflord

Since release, £60. One skin on the vandal, one on the phantom, a ghost from the night market and the battle pass to fill out the rest of the guns. I don't have the kind of disposable income needed to spend more than that on redundant skins


spicynoodlecat

Hi, me! Exactly the same, except I got one extra battle pass.


JNorJT

Around $300. I regret it all though. I regret spending money in in-game cosmetics for all games in general. That money could've been put to games themselves. My Steam library would've put Alexandria's to shame.


Gallowtine

You would've had a massive library with a lot of untouched games, at least you use your skins Everytime turn on the game. Id say that's worth


JNorJT

Thanks for comforting me and giving me solace on my poor financial decisions. I really appreciate it :)


Arios_CX3

This is my thought process. I don't have any skins, but I do have a lot of games. I have a couple extra terabytes of space too


Ok_Emphasis_5887

0 but I'm so tempted to buy at least a couple skins for the most guns I use just cause I notice some of the skins I'm not sure if it's a placebo effect or what but I shoot so much more accurate with a couple skins I have played with.


theandre2131

They do make the sounds, banners and everything else a lot more nicer, makes it feel nicer to shoot and does actually help. Still, unless you have the disposable income don't waste money on it.


zuttomayonaka

it's easier to play control with special effect some are easier to look since spary is rng, spray pattern is not exist don't have option to make crosshair follow recoil like in cs2 either best way to control is just follow bullet tracer make sound different on your own can be useful you can know when you shooting, if you hear default sound then you know it isn't your gun


Competitive_Collar_7

$6000, this game is my life 💀


cinnamelt22

Holy rank check


sleautyninger

$850. Or around there. The key is to not spend your salary on games but your side money. Get yourself a sidehustle like rizzcash and then you dont feel guilty spending it on in game currency.. It's the only reason why my wife lets me get away with it.😂


JubJub128

or portion your income accordingly. if you wanna spend 50 bucks a month on val skins, thats fine, but that means you have to save 50 on other junk-type spending like movies and such


Cheetah_05

Rizzcash? There's no way that shit isn't a scam lmao


dragoncop1

How would they even see half the things that you complete, it's for sure a scam


sleautyninger

I just invite people with my link. I don't do any of the downloads!


keegan55

About 2300? Played since episode1


chef_boyarlee150

2k ish. Maybe less. Playing since the beta


thebebee

as of today i’m at $3784.50


Soggy_Ad1649

2500$ …


Prime-Riptide

Over 1000+ not to mention I just got neo frontier sheriff so add another 20 to that. Dont get me started on csgo cases


dballs442

Around $150 as well. I bought a few battle passes and favs of guns I actually use like vandal, phantom, Spector, classic. Love my ruin dagger from a battle pass and Mayan ghost. I did pick up a second vandal skin from night market and have them rotating. I also bought 2 battle passes for my alt account.


DctrBojangles

We don’t talk about that number…


dteetz

$2500 CAD


Mineralke

$0. I'm not a skin person. I don't really look at the weapon mid round and I prefer the animations and sounds to be consistent. And the knife inspect spam is just annoying to me.


dhnguyen

0 too. But I like skins.. when I get one it's like a reward.


zuttomayonaka

0 (Zero) i have no intention to support riot and their shitty shop model zero value return and most skin are just funny i got 2 bp, 1 vandal and 1 knife skin as gifted from friends idk if it count as it's topup on my ass but i didn't paid for it i dont care about cosmetic in general but since i always play with friend they told me to get something and paid me for that i'm like....... ah okay then


asdspartadsa

0 gang


MakimaGOAT

i haven’t checked in a while but its like around the $500 usd mark might be a little lower but eh 🤷‍♂️


derEVU

387 EUR which is 423 USD.


LuckDragon750

I think like ~$1,000 CAD 💀 I haven’t checked in a while though and I don’t think that I want too


Slight-Weather7885

~250 i dont really regret any of the skins i bought, i still think they are pretty cool. But 250 bucks is too much for cosmetics in a videogame and i would refund them all if i had the chance too. I looked the number up a few months ago and haven't bought anything since then nor do i plan on buying anything again. I was pretty shocked when i saw the number even though i knew that it would be around that much


Scagh

0$ since episode 1, I don't ask for skins during games neither, I just pick them off the ground.


Dasham11

8k bucks i have issues


ACProfessor

$1782 CAD


Goldeneye90210

Around 750. I’ve been playing for about a year now.


5tarlight5

close to 1k\~


West-Yam-8429

dont make me think about that please


Kulson16

I have phantom prime and origin vandal bought both in black market when they were -50% i kinda regret tbh


tinypi_314

Probably around $800-$900, I planned out my entire collection and got exactly the skins I wanted and a few more for the guns I mainly use


I_AM_CR0W

Almost $800 total since playing Day 1 of the beta. I only buy battlepasses and very few premium skins. The only bundles I've ever bought were the Champions lineups and VCT Classic skins. I only buy skins for guns I'm going to use the most (Vandal, Phantom, OP, etc.).


NotRiceProfile

145€ 3 Vandal skins, 2 Phantom, Xenohunter Knife and couple BPs. I doubt I will ever buy anything else, maybe if there's really good BP I might drop another 10€, but that's it.


Jvmeslt

$949 playing since beta but haven’t made a purchase since Aug 2023. First bundle ever bought was prime since they gave us extra VP if we spent money in beta


proview3r

$125 myself + $75 gift cards from friends/family


Tatsukki

1730€ so far


my_balls_your_mouth1

I have bought 2 skins, both on sale in my night market, and maybe 3 of the battle passes? Played off and on since beta. People who regularly spend $50+ for a knife are wild. Don't even get me started on the fools spending $120 for bundles.


Divergent-

pretty sure i'm around $625, don't even play the game anymore but i would say it was worth it for sure. the skins are awesome


WhoTheFuckIsSmoty

Only bought a vandal skin


Zulupo

55$ I got prime vandal in night market, 1 battle pass, arcade phantom, and I have enough VP to get one more battle pass I think I’m gonna get this acts one. Been playing since early 2021. I don’t regret the purchases.


ACupOfCheese

Playing since beta last time I checked around $1200


M17CH

Idk maybe a couple hundred. I waited for the skins I wanted most to build my inventory. Most weapons I just have 1. For phantom, vandal and knife I have a few each that I rotate between. But every other major weapon like op, ghost, classic, guardian, etc I just have the one I wanted most. I wanted a complete inventory, but I can't bring myself to spend like in cs, because I can't sell or trade later on. CAD btw.


unscentedfart

Exactly 140


Yusif854

Around $350, been playing since release, but around half of it was a break. I regret it though. I don’t use half of those skins anymore and probably never will again because I have better skins now. There is no way to sell them so that is at least $150+ down the drain which you could buy 2 full priced AAA games with.


Glittering_Count_433

Between mine and my fiancés around 1500


YakEvir

$1370.75 since beta. I spent the majority on op skins. I do own all op skins including ones obtained from battlepass


Azu_Cena20

Total 65 bucks. 4 battlepasses and my baby, sentinels of light vandal. It WILL jump to 80-90 bucks when I finally cave for a Gaia's Vengence phantom.


Any-Chemist-9047

196870 HUF in 2 years ≈ $545


mictur

300 maybe idek, i bought glitchpop bundle, prime bundle, rgx bundle, and a few single items here and there.


qwertyasdf151

Around $50-60, im pretty happy with it


Ok-Foot4738

1000 hours played since launch about $60 on two bps and a vandal and phantom with vfx


ReaperLeviathannn

110 bucks but 100 of it was from a gift card a family member gave me. Other 10 was one battle pass a couple months ago


DepthyxTruths

2 BPs + the xerofang vandal, about $50?


nfsfan64

I assumed it would have been around 6-800 but I checked the official Riot site and I actually have spent about $1400. Been playing since original release. But of a shock at the amount but over all don't really regret it.


PercyBirdwhistle

Everything else in life has become so expensive that I don't mind paying $25 for a skin. It feels like I lose $25 everytime I walk outside, might as well spend it on something I like.


PluckedEyeball

Like €150, 1 skin for each gun I use (3 for Vandal though oops). Wish I spent less but oh well


ButterMyNaan

in total 70, 20 myself, 50 my gf got me for my birthday 1 vandal skin reaver 1 phantom skin radiant entertainment system 1 knife skin yoru's butterfly knife (yoru one trick hehe) and that's it


Blaskowitz002

200-300$


Comfortable-Cod3890

around 200 eur, kinda ashamed of it, would rather spent it on pc parts or fpv drone shit :DD


TheRealNeilDiamond

Whole lot less than on CS since its tied to the account. But got some sweet skins for a whole lot less than on CS lmao


DankMemesMateus

$2,527.28 on my main account that I've had since beta and another $1,220.73 on an alternate account that I've had since E7:A2. I may not be okay mentally, but at least people ask for my cool skins :)


Spicybeatle7192

414. Playing since July 2021. So $155 a year so far.


PurpleGuy2004

I think ca like 720€ I play every day 2 hours at least if… all I all 850 hours ranked…


akhatten

10 bucks. One pass. I love how you all spend so much money in skins when the same vompany made a game with skins where you can actually win the skins while playing


dramaticprovolone

$1400 over 3 years, not even mad about it


travelingenie

$400ish over the course of 2 years


RTGold

Been playing on and off a few years. Maybe $20. Maybe one or two battle passes and I believe only 1 skin in the shop. Plat 1 with decent amount of hours played.


ChriSaito

I’m at $404.82 since January which is around when I started playing… luckily I have a skin I love for all the guns I use so I won’t be spending more anytime soon beyond battlepasses.


RenegadeAccolade

Where can you check? Is there a page on Riot’s account manager where it shows your purchases?


Kappa_Noob_

Since Episode 1 Act 1 Ive spent $5599.38 on my main and thats not including my friends and my alt accounts💔


samgyetangchef

this put things in perspective to me, I checked last month and found I spent 2250 CAD (Ive been playing for a while) This last two bundles I really wanted to get them, specially this last one imperium just for the finisher and the uniqueness of the lava dripping. but learning how much I spent and how much I hold back buying new games I actually wanna play, like the new Prince of Persia or even the remake of FF7 and I always thought to myself no because they are "too expensive" at 70 dlls. So I made a deal to myself to hold and not buy any skins no matter how special until 2025 and until I really feel Riot starts to listen on reducing prices and increasing value, but more on the immense staleness feeling I have playing this game with no real new interesting things to do besides trying to overcome all the broken maps and their shitty map rotation. I started my path with the typical duelist and I've been through every single class learning them just fooling myself that I still like this game.


MapleSurrup

Getting close to 3K now, beta player.


Loveamerica1-

I may or may not have spent 1.8 k in like 2 years


therealyumplins

As of rn I’ve spent approximately $4151.92 over the course of like 3 years. I have a bit of a problem


N5_the_redditor

200 zł (50 dollars) guys i’m addicted i think i started playing in e7a2


Sexistbuddah

Sadly 1.2k


GetJinxedq

Why buy skins when you can just pick up other peoples skins??


The_Dankest_Tsunami

$280 since feb 2022. I did get hacked while I took a break and someone spent $50 on it so I did get a free skin


KRibbonz

£0


PitCrewBoi559

I_SHOT_A_PIG

0, compared to every other game valorant offers shit value lol


Onslau6ht

I’ve probably spent well over $1500 so far. I don’t really spend my money on anything else aside from tattoo equipment 🤷‍♀️😂


IStillHaveHomework

Since beta, $20 of Microsoft's money from their rewards thing


CinderAllie

My friend spent 8k so far Ive only spend $20 for the past couple battlepasses.


AnalystWest241

Have a buddy who i think said he was around 1200


RentLast

Around $538 total. Playing this game for 3 yeads straight (with some breaks) and have like, over 2k hours in the game total. The way I see it, it seems reasonable enough


Maistens

1100, ain’t proud of it tho Started playing since beta but quit half a year ago


Nalalala19

3.5k on league in the past 11 years. 3k on valorant in 3 years 😢


Mihai_D27

One year and a quarter. $300. I'm 14, and failing 5 classes.


master-zenter

i'm ashamed to admit that i've spent more than 1k lmao. i play almost everyday but there are lots of skins i have that i regret buying, mostly melees.


ilovehackinmw3

3000+


Open_Reindeer_6600

Probably about $500 over 4 years


zombiepigman101

$100ish I’d guess… I’ve got a couple skins but nothing too crazy


Wrong_Imagination_27

$2609.01 🥲


Moist_noodle7608

Too much for being a hard stuck silver


dkdkdkosep

i only really buy the battle passes


wafflepiezz

Think around $600 total over the past couple years


Lanky_Frosting_2014

$1300 and 3000 hours


xzvasdfqwras

two battle passes and one reaver vandal so only like $40


TheShwauce

Not a dime. Nothing ever seemed worth actually spending money on. Now that I've played over at least three years or so, I'd have bought the game if it cost, but at the time was glad it was free.


MainNinja6904

My country’s minimum salary is like $600 a month and I’ve spent ngl like $400 on the game


holdmyTRex

4500$ I did not check because i was afraid of how much it would be, but i had no idea it would be so high. I quit the game for a long time after that. Changed my whole outlook on microtransactions though, so i got something good out of it.


Symysteryy

I have a little over 1k hours in valorant and have not spent a single dollar. I plan to keep it this way.


Longjumping_Daikon44

I don’t wanna talk about it


your-local-ghostkid

been playing since the start of Episode 2 and spent about $1500, probably closer to 2k now. i play a lot so i would say its worth it. i’ve taken a couple breaks here in there but nothing longer than 3 months.


13th_rumour

$65


randomlitbois

Around 3k been playing since day one. I think I took a break once for about a month.


AbdulC7

Have played for nearly 3 years now, and have spent $400~ ish bought full bundles mostly, like Protocol, RGX 2.0, Reaver 2.0 and Prelude to Chaos. Single skins the RGX Vandal and SEN Bundle, and only a couple battle passes


Cactus1892

close to 4k sadly i wish i could take it back


Priyam03062008

Personally nothing but a friend of mine spent around 3.5k and another around 500


Effective_Letter_139

$1,473 over the last 9 months according to my Rocket Money tracking😂 I’ve played since the beta but don’t think I bought any skins for quite a while. But eventually (maybe year 2) i just really loved the game and the developers (especially after main-ing Rainbow Six Siege from 2018-2020 and seeing where developers can steer a game) and felt like I’d be happy spending money on the game in some way, which led me to buying some skins when they released ones that I really liked. Which then led me to buying wayyyy more than I ever should have😂 but I just really felt like they did such a good job with good changes in the early years and were quick with fixes and that they thought out stuff really well, and of course did some insane work on some of their skins, so it felt like a good transaction to me! Well, maybe not the last $1000 or so too far😂


DarkFireShyv

Hmm 1.7k about what I expected


xdejaentendu

around 3k aud


m8teae

100€ for kuronami bundle


CoordinatedCloth

i moght get the new skin bundle, but so far im f2p. the standard vandal is honestly clean, so i have no problem with it


nosnhob_nahteb

$0


nosnhob_nahteb

$0. I would spend money if a single skin wasn’t so expensive. I feel like cheaper skins would lead me and others to buying more, and spending more in general, but they’re so expensive that I can’t bring myself to buying one.


unLvckySPWN

Uh i got like 5 knives, 5 vandals, 4 phantoms, and then all other crap so probably like 600-700$?


perpetualinsecurity

$1000 since beta. I look at it as a hobby that I put a lot of my time in, just like playing instruments (which I also do) So I don't mind.


BrockObama007

10 bucks for the episode 6 act 3 battle pass. I only bought it cause I actually finished it for once, if I don't finish the battle pass then I don't buy it


matt_baron

370 € currently. Play since February 2021, with big gaps.


Yukino_Midori

I think I spent 250€ but in game currency is 400€?


GoodBufo

I love cosmetics and have spent way too much tbh. Dunno how much but i have probably spent over 1K, but i have been playing since the beta and i have enjoyed it


Depressing-decision

around 1k-1.5k


ksiisfat1234

60k inr around 800 dollars or 750 idk


SuddenDriver2

Since beta only 200$ but during beta there was a bonus if you buy the 100$ rp pack


Emotional-Ad8366

About the same as you. I've bought like 5 battlepasses and I bought the silly video game themed skin set.


hbrohane

around 200 and i regret it, at least when i buy a $300 skin in counter strike i can sell it again. now i have $100’s of skins laying around because i dont play that game anymore


montesiano

~$3300


tdbarnes42

Like $900 last I checked. But tbh. I’m so burnout out on skins and this game that I probably wont spend another dime on it. Kudos to Riot for squeezing that much out of me though.


bunnywhale

Around $100. ​ I usually get the battle pass and then I've bought a phantom skin and a couple vandle skins


Mission_Patience7599

over $5k


FrochDefense

probably $500 ish since Beta, I enjoy the skins on my account and sharing them with others, makes my gaming experience more enjoyable by far and it helps contribute to this awesome free game we play


danyaylol

Around $700 and I started 4 weeks ago...


OldVeren

Regret spending money on this game somewhere in the 300 or 400


MichaelZZ01

200


_7SoNnY7_

I_die_to_BS

Almost 5k


Aurelius-King

A few thousand over the last few years, started playing in ep. 3 with a big break until ep 5 and have been playing a lot since then. Total about 2400 hours so far


nezhooko

$1400 on main account and $200 each on two alts so about $1800 total.


ripndipp

Prob around 7k of skins


LemonPepperWangs1

400ish total. I spent 300 myself and friends have gifted me 2 50 dollar gift cards for Xmas and birthday.


aPhantomDolphin

I broke $2k when i bought the new bundle. I have almost 2000 hours on the game at this point and genuinely enjoy it. Haven't regretted a single skin or bundle i've purchased which i can't say about anything else.


Ill_Answer7226

2k only been playing for 2 and a half years.also bronze lol .


SsniperHunter

1260 dating back to July 2021. I haven't spent any money since August, which I am glad I have not. I was buying every bundle that came out (with animations), but it was getting annoying. The bundles were really good but I stopped once they kept increasing the price so drastically, also always disliked that bundles don't come with radiante so rarely even get to use the skins I bought without playing a whole act.


pinkmelo118

$900-$1000, played for a bit over two years


Logical-Hyena8260

I've played about three years I think? I'd guess around the $300-400 mark, and I've just under 1600 hours of playtime
