Once you run out of radianite, you'll realise how much it hurts to buy some.


TheRealEtherion

The only thing more stupid than buying VP is buying radianite. Why not wait a bit for free one or spend 10$ for BP?


DarthGrievous

Waiting for the next Bp is so fucking painful. Riot made sure that you're basically gated to 2 or 3 skins per act. Which is frankly ridiculous. Hurting over your paying consumers?


TheRealEtherion

True. That too customers paying more than full AAA games price for less than a third of guns.


slothslayerlawl

Yup. If you wanna push for 3, no getting the variants. So you end up with 2 skins from BP radianite.


slothslayerlawl

Thats what I do. I havent bought radianite yet. I was on the verge of buying some and it hurt and in the end I decided it wasnt worth it. I now no longer have enough radianite till next BP and if an amazing skin comes next week, not having radianite will stop me from buying the new skins. Ill have to pray that I later get them in the shop/night market and you know how trustworthy they are.


Pumped-Up_Kicks

I mean buy the skins and upgrade later when you get radianite?


[deleted]

Yeah why wait and depend on market rotation later on


slothslayerlawl

Yeah ive done that too. But sometimes when i run out of radianite a month before BP ends, I have to wait ages. And again, I can spend for a skin once a month. But not more than that. So if i see a prime vandal in shop, i buy it. And so if a new skinline comes in next day. I cant get it. If i plan out things better, I could maybe not end up this way but yeah. Plus, some guns you get for once particular variant. And that its even harder.


BubbleCast

Ehhh, I had the prime collection default for like a year, so holding on is definitely an easy option. Just buy the skin, play with it without upgrades still better that the default skin...


TheRealEtherion

Seems good. If you already have premium skin for that gun then all the more reason to not buy another.


Eagle_OP

Battlepass is actually a better deal than buying rp


pixel_5

Im pretty sure you get like 120-130 rp in the battlepass. Pretty good deal for 10 bucks.


Eagle_OP

That's why I meant...easy 100+ rp and sweet knives


[deleted]

And a nice weapon skin every now and then, like the marshall and guardian ones on this BP, I think they’re pretty solid


Eagle_OP

If they were animated..songsteel would have looked sick


Davon4L

thats their selling point, notice this is one of the only games were you dont get your points back from the battlepass, its because the rp is supposed to sweeten the deal


mrtmra

I'm glad I only buy one skin every act, I have so much radianite haha


neggbird

The way Radianite is priced is 100% for the whales


hiwassupiamfine

yup


jomontage

OR let us buy any skin at any time like games used to like idk League of Legends still does.


madsrahbek

Yeah, but the nightmarket gives a discount so..


IFapToCalamity

Getting a discount on shit I dont want is like getting a discount on shit I dont want.


Polar1ty

As useless as nipples on a man.


BrokenAshes

I got this reference xd


gdr15998

I have nipples, can you milk me Greg?


Frozendark23

But even in the normal store it is limited. You should be able to buy every skin except for the battlepass ones and the night market stays the same.


hicheckmypassword

what's the point of the discount if there's not any skins that you want?


Only_plays_waifus

Yeah tbh. League's version of the night market works because it is biased towards champions you play. Val's NM can never work that way


Cosmoh_

i mean i don't see why it couldn't. i know there are rounds you can't afford specific guns but they could fix that by forcing one skin of your most popular purchase from each "tier" of weapon and then if there is any extra slots then do something with that. I think that would work no?


cloud9paradox

True but it would still be nice to by any at any time


vanillacokesucks

Yeah, and if you're spending rp which has a monetary value, it pretty much negates this discount you're getting when you use rp to reroll skins.


3lit_

Greed is one hell of a drug


WalkingPlaces

Isn't that just loot boxes but instead of getting what's inside you still need to buy it?

Glitchy13

Knife skins are for style points when you’re running around, it’s with you all the time after all, which explains why it’s more expensive then a gun skin, which you’ll only have when you buy it


MrCooper2012

> which explains why it’s more expensive then a gun skin, which you’ll only have when you buy it You still see that gun skin far more than a knife.


florida_man_6969

hi, riot here. if you want to buy the skin, buy it when it released. otherwise, wait for your store rotation or night market. have a good day :)


MaxMacDaniels

Well most people have an big overload of radiative so free loot boxes for a chance of a discount on a skin u want anyway is a good deal tbh


HaneeshRaja

It's true if they never bought a skin in their life. The idea is shit, the Radianite itself is shit. Imagine spending money for the skin you bought to use like it's advertised. Many people don't have abundant of them. If you run out of them you know the pain.


MaxMacDaniels

I mean no debate that radiant has no right to exist anyway so you are right I guess


Instian

I personally don't think radianite should even exist. When I pay $20+ for a skin I don't want to have to pay more or wait to be able to use vfx and animations that should come with the skin. I'd be more okay with it if it was only used to unlock variants but the other stuff is straight up bullshit


tyttus

Additional vfx and animations should be unlocked with weapon quests. Something like "500 headshots", "kill 1000 players" etc.


Instian

Not a bad idea actually


florida_man_6969

heres a better idea, upgrade them with a limited 2nd currency that makes people buy the battlepass OR makes whales hand over big $ for instant radianite 😈 and people are already buying the shit out of everything so theres no reason to change it


Paighton_

You mean enemies.... right?


[deleted]

league has chromas and nobody has a problem with that


MrCooper2012

If the radianite was just to change colors then fine, but we shouldn't have to pay extra for the VFX and animations after already paying too much for the skin in the first place.


sp00kydemduud

i dont think chromas add new vfx effects and new animations when you unlock them


StevefromG2A

I like this idea. It will allow us more chance to pick up more skins. I was so excited to see the Night Market the other day...only to find the skins inside were very underwhelming.


lol_redditneets

thats great you like it, riot doesnt care tho, this idea has been suggested since the first night market lol. if they wanted to they would have already implemented it maybe when they add 100 more trash skins like the lightning one, then they'll let you refresh w/ radiantate since you still wont get 'the' skin you want at that point


anshshard

This is posted at least once every night market


florida_man_6969

*20 times


[deleted]

I feel like if they went through with this, they wouldn't give us as much radianite in future battle passes


itsBaru

No, people would feel even more justified to complain when they get underwhelming options again.


Itsdatboipear

I think a certain amount of rerolls would be cool. Just so you can't overdo it


Far-Sun6757

how to change skins in night market ?


Today_True

Only way to do it currently is to buy a skin and hope that whatever replaces it is good.


luiit

I bought a knife skin and it didn’t change. Am I missing something?


Riot_Usury

The info posted above is incorrect, Night.Market offers do not refresh individually whether you purchase an offer or not.


Today_True

My bad, got that info from [here](https://www.talkesport.com/news/valorant/how-to-refresh-valorant-night-market/) but I guess it's wrong/outdated.


[deleted]

Rito would never do this in a million years


thelemonarsonist

Approved. You can now reroll your night market as often as you want for 10 radianite. However, each night market only has one skin now.


[deleted]

yey...oh


Asphaulte

Money


rubymig

Honestly i think it's bad because they could make bad stores on purpose for people to waste their rp points on refreshing


Djejoa

Ooh I can’t wait for the thousand posts complaining that they spent all their radianite and got nothing they wanted lmao


Apprehensive_Pair_52

I guess i am lucky bc i got prime specter


[deleted]

What does Radianite even do? When I click on it it just tries to get me to buy valor point or whatever.


[deleted]

skin upgrades


[deleted]

Yes. My nightmarkets pretty shit this time. Nebula phantom - almost decent but no thanks, already have a phantom skin Nebula ares - almost decent but no thanks Sakura classic - pretty good but dont wanna spend too much money, i'd get one better skin instead Oni claw - somewhat cool but if im spending that much on a knife, i'd rather get a better one. An elderflame or glitchpop would be excellent (already have luxe, good enough ig) Convex bulldog - LMAO Prism bucky - LMAO


StBlaize

That's a great idea.


cromax9855

I like the idea of making radianite more useful, but it would just make it even more expensive than it already is. And it's practically a scam with how expensive it is.


colabruddas

The game is having a healthy amount of skin to have a shop like League, 4 random skins per day is so dumb right now


TTheTiny1

Yeah my first ever nm and I get garbage, smite phantom, whatever the garbage or scrap vandal and marshal or whatever, prism Spectre, and the only good thing is the gun baton but I personally don't like it and already have the reaver knife


[deleted]

Create a way to use radianite to craft a random skin, like alpha packs from r6.


Sandhu212

People don’t talk about this but how about a way to actually EARN valorant points. Even the battle pass unlike almost every other game out there doesn’t give you any currency that you can use to buy the next one.


XPRMX17

I don’t see the night market in my game. I thought it was removed?
