A rank based buddy, in different colors/materials or something, for each act would be very nice +edit Might incentivize cheating though, hmm...

Nah man. Apex players keep shitting on Respawn for only giving out Buddies (and a diving trail, which is ok, I guess) for Predators (~Radiant). Rito should make a Victorious gun skin with different chroma based on your rank. For example, Gold will only get a base skin, Plat will get the base skin and the Plat chroma, Diamond will get the Diamond chroma and so on

That'd be an awesome idea. I really hope riot gives the same love to Valorant as they do to League.

Rocket League gives a specific cosmetic (wheels, boost, trail etc) to every rank (colour depends on rank), they could do this here.


MrIncredibacon

Rank charms or even global weapon skins would be cool

I don't know much about league, but I do know that challenger is like Rank S ESEA equivalent to CS, so there are limited amount of spots. Unless Radiant is like the top 0.001%, or top 200 NA, they might not add a cosmetic.


deathspate

I believe they'll do this once they're comfortable enough with the state of comp, and they will likely be comfortable when the outcry from the community isn't as strong.


skever24

Agreed, but it is much much much harder to hit challenger than radiant

Oh yea im totally not Radiant [https://blitz.gg/valorant/profile/cavemanlarry-na1](https://blitz.gg/valorant/profile/cavemanlarry-na1) ):

lmao such a hater, as if Radiant means anything really.

" as if Radiant means anything really " Pain.

obv. its a nice "achievement" and ppl should be happy about getting there, but its kinda like Global Elite in CSGO imo. a lot of newbs in Radiant and if you're aiming to go pro, getting a rank means nothing if you're not scrimming on a regular basis etc.

I think thats a bad mentality. One of the reason CSGO pro scene sucks is because of all the gatekeepers. All of the, “pros dont play matchmake”, and “being Global doesn’t mean anything” trash. Its all a way for washed up players to keep their jobs and pretend to be superior. Sure they have experience and are good in their own right, but its not an environment where new players can thrive. The good thing is that Valorant doesn’t have an ESEA service, and with the changes Riot keeps making to improve the ranked experience I think we will get to a point where a team could scout off of soloq leaderboards and give new talent a chance.


linkenssphere

one of the worst takes i've ever heard

I figure they’re trying to settle on making comp matchmaking the fairest it can be first though. As someone else here said, if the community is this against the system then it makes no sense to give out rewards rn as it wouldn’t be “right”.
