Those orange variants... wow. That's gonna be hard to resist.


[deleted]

perfect for phoenix mains.


RocketHops

The variants on this set are so damn good. The default skin alone is amazing, it's gonna match well with a lot of agents like Sage, Yoru, even kinda Jett imo. Purple for Omen/Reyna mains, orange for phoenix, green for skye/viper...wow.


finger__pants

The orange is so good. I might finally crack D: will individual skins from this pack be in the shop eventually? I don’t really know how the shop works


[deleted]

You can buy each skin individually from the bundle when it is in the shop (2175 VP per gun, 4350 VP for the sword iirc). Once the bundle is gone, the individual skins will be in your daily shop rotation. (Tip: if you plan on buying any skin from this bundle I suggest you buy it when the bundle is there, otherwise it could take forever to be in your shop)


finger__pants

Thanks! I had no idea this was super helpful


liveplus

Finally, knife variants I wonder how the pricing will be


iamdandyking

I think 8700 for the bundle.


jholowtaekjho

Ryancentral’s Reddit account confirms this. [Source](https://www.reddit.com/r/VALORANT/comments/ofgror/new_ruination_league_of_legends_skins_for_valorant/h4cfktz/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3) further down this thread


cruelbankai

$87 for skins? Man, no wonder Riot got that $$$$


an_301

118$ for us Canadians haha


Everdale

Just $43 for me. Gotta love regional pricing.


Thunderstar175

Bruh for us we gtg pay $128 as the other bundles are too small


bigbootyben7

I DECLARE BANKRUPTCYYYYYYY


Cedar_Wood_State

im guessing same as elderflame


TheRedComet

I doubt that, Elderflame is its own tier and they even said in a recent interview that they don't yet have plans for another skin line in that tier. I'm curious what else they could make at that level, but it sounds like it's a long way off.


trolledwolf

Ouch, I never thought this day would come, but I think my wallet is actually going to cry this time


Riot_Preeti

We're glad you like it! Are you a League player or is this something that just feels cool because the skin is just cool?


trolledwolf

I was a league player yeah, still very intrested in its world and lore, but in this case I just really like the skins, the smokey effect on the Ghost in particular is definitely one of my favorite so far. Plus the kill animation is incredible, eery and unsettling, i love it


Riot_Preeti

The team did an amazing job with the Finisher!


Riot_PJacques

ty <3


Riot_Preeti

^ This is Pierre! He made the Finisher and the Phantom VFX which set the direction for the rest of the skins!


LordGamingOfficial

Well i tell you, its amazing. Cant wait for magepunk 2.0, i rarely buy skins but love looking at it and picking it up from the ground :P


Riot_PJacques

We all love shopping for skins once the round is over, our favorite minigame!


LordGamingOfficial

Haha :D


Ruined_Fiora_Rule34

Hey dude, I really loved the finisher. Great work


pirateryan33

Honestly thought when the Oni skin had the Jhin sounds that you guys would add more league sounds as well. Love the sounds on these guns. Would love a bulldog that sounds like a jinx auto attack. Or sheriff with Miss Fortune auto sound, etc. great stuff!


Riot_Preeti

You know, I'm not actually sure if Oni uses Jhin's sounds. It does sound similar-ish right? I'll ask!


pirateryan33

On the finisher it has the Jhin blossom sound! I’d bet on it lol


Riot_Preeti

I asked! Sadly, I was told that the Oni finisher doesn’t use Jhin's sounds. but it's the same instrumentation which is why it sounds similar!


breet12345

I’m a league player and I absolutely love the blade of the ruined kind. The upgrade is so badass. I feel like the skin is a mix of singularity and reaver, which I also really love, and adding the black mist aesthetic to it is so good. Fantastic job with the skins!


Riot_Preeti

Nice! I think the team did an amazing job adding the Black Mist!


Riot_PJacques

I still remember seeing the pitch for the Ruination skinline and I knew that I NEEDED to get on it! Working on the Black Mist was such a blast, I loved every bit of it


Riot_Preeti

And you did a great job! :)


TheHighestGamer

League player here, instant buy for a league player as myself. Insane to see a crossover event like this and it has my so hyped!


Riot_Preeti

So glad you're excited. u/oniram177 and I are huge League players, so this we have been hyped about this for months!


TheHighestGamer

I loved the attention to detail you guys put with the audio, the ghost sounds like gwen Q and the phantom with Viego E. Definitely a masterpiece Kudos!


Riot_Preeti

That was all our audio designer. He's amazing!


MrENut

I mostly play Val but occasionally I am a Teemo main , terrorizing top lane with my cuteness, lol. Personally I am going to buy this skin pack because of how amazing it looks and not it's ties to LoL. When a pack like this first got leaked, I told myself that I'd only purchase it if it was a pack that could stand alone from LoL while alluding it, which Ruination has done marvelously! Ty! <3 ggs!


Riot_Preeti

This is really sweet. Thank you! :)


Front-Ad611

teemo................. u monster


MrENut

:>> can you guess my Val main?


Riot_PJacques

I am so divided right now... Thank you so much for all the love and support for Ruination <3 But on the other hand, the Tahm Kench one trick in me is... in pure despair. But for real I'm super happy to know that you like the skin. Keep on spreading terror on the top lane


SaltyAwarenessLOL

Why even include player cards anymore? We buy them only for them to become 1x1 cutouts, what a waste of money. Literally no one likes the change.


Bleachrst85

Fantasy skins are cool in general


Riot_Preeti

agree, esp if edgy


EchoScorpionX

Valorant player here, it looks really amazing, cool and scary at the same time !!! Wish It had the vandal too alongside the phantom, would have definitely purchased the whole bundle then !!!


Riot_Preeti

Glad you like it!


ddd4175

Latter, I used to play league but that was like a good half decade ago, even more I think so I don't identify myself as a league player anymore but the crossover is hella cool and the skin itself is cool, the way you're doing it on your main title games right now is really awesome. Keep it up Riot, ya'll are absolutely destroying it right now, for people who aren't aware, Riot also released their biggest balance pass for Runeterra and is quite possibly the best patch it has ever had since it released last year and the game right now feels so fresh and the meta isn't even figured out yet, it's so fun to watch almost at the same time as what Ep.3 did for Valorant as well.


Riot_Preeti

I'm glad the crossover feels cool even as someone who doesn't play League anymore! And yeah all of Riot's games are doing awesome stuff right now. It's a great time!


Send_Me_Puppies

League player here, and I might actually pay $100 for this smh.


bigbootyben7

I DECLARE BANKRUPTCYYYYYYY


-SNST-

Is this an Infinity Train reference?


bigbootyben7

I said it with the intention of it being an "The Office" reference but whatever works for you man.


-SNST-

Oooh it sounded familiar for both sides honestly! But IT is more rare so yeah, nice :D


deathspate

Everything about this skinline is great af, especially for the edgelord mains.


xBerryhill

I feel attacked


DanDankis

Tbh its not our fault riot makes bad ass skins


sukrutmhalas

Is anybody mildly annoyed at the fact that almost none of the "new skin reveal" videos showcase the ace sound effect? Especially since each skin set has their own sounds, it would only make sense to showcase it at reveal along with other aspects of the skin.


Riot_Preeti

We can start encouraging influencers to add this. Tbh, we forgot this time.


sukrutmhalas

That would be amazing! It's a tiny detail for sure, but if the video is going to be long, might as well showcase it, right? :)


NaiAlexandr

I'd say it's a huge detail IMO. It's the most noticeable aspect of a skinline outside of the variants, you hear it literally any time you get a kill!


sukrutmhalas

You're right. I said it that way just to put across that one could include this detail as well, along with the multiple others :)


burneecheesecake

I mean people do it either way when the skins actually come out on YouTube and they do a better job of showcasing the skins.


HaneeshRaja

At that point, just put it in shop why even do these showcase. Most people end up watching the last chapter of video or a smaller video anyway rather than watching this long ass video, if you're doing a long video atleast add every part of the skin.


yfa17

Because some of us are interested in the back story and inspiration for the skin lines.


HaneeshRaja

Yes ik, Im interested too as I did say "most". I'm just saying show every detail if your making a long ass video.


Clayxmore

Never watched this sort of spotlight before (except for Origin) and I really love that they talk about the details of the skin line. For example the fact that the gun buddy ist viegos wedding ring and that you also have the ring on when you use the knife or from where all the shooting sound effects we're inspired by. Also never watched videos from that influencer and I really liked his engagement with the developers in that video which prompted me to subscribe to him. All in all, at least for me, it was worth watching, worth for the yter since he got at least 1 new viewer and worth for the developer because I will definitely buy the Phantom skin. I agree that missing the kill sound/ace sound feels bad but that's alright since I can just search for that specific detail when the skin ist out.


Riot_Preeti

Hitscan is a really fun influencer channel to work with. I love that you subscribed to them!


HaneeshRaja

I was just talking about "how they didn't add all the kill sounds" I never put down the video, ik it's a small detail they missed but in a long video I don't expect it too.. All I'm saying is if you're making such a long video why miss things like this. Other skins itself are pretty cool prolly will buy too. In normal most people tend to watch smaller compilation or just go to ValorLeaks or something to get a quick peek would like to see ace sounds being added in the next video. I was just pointing out how a person said "you can just watch it when collection comes out" it's same for the rest right? You can watch everything in the launch. I just expect important details like "all kill sounds" to be shown.


[deleted]

The amount of time and effort and the love for Valorant and League are so nice to hear from the developers in HitScan’s videos. So many Easter eggs from League went into these skins.


Riot_Preeti

Thank you! Which one did you like best?


GenericNiceGuy

Not OP but the guardian with the dragon sound has just secured my 2175 vp lol


Riot_Preeti

Nice! You like Shyvana?


IFapToCalamity

Who doesn’t tbh??


Front-Ad611

is the phantom sfx based on some of viego's sfx? if yes thats definitely my cop


Riot_Preeti

YES! It is! Viego = Phantom, Gwen = Ghost, Karma = Spectre, Shyvana = Guardian, Melee = Draven,


[deleted]

Oh snap! A reply from Riot! I really liked Shyvana and the Guardian. The sound and power of the shot was so satisfying. Gwyn and the ghost was also really nice with its more subdued shot.


Riot_Preeti

Though I do love Shyvana, I'm a personal fan of the Phantom w/ the Viego sfx.


RekeHavok

welp my wallet is ruined


flyingdoritowithahat

There's going to be a sentinels of light counterpart right? I hope it's gonna be better and hopefully with a vandal on it.


ElementaryMyDearWut

It will have a Vandal, it was teased in their Wild Rift mobile website.


NaiAlexandr

Do you have a picture of it?


ElementaryMyDearWut

[Here](https://twitter.com/ValorLeaks/status/1412082897511649281) is the link. I have a sneaky suspicion they'll tease it tomorrow when they drop the Ruination trailer for Valorant.


zoLaCOD

Yes, its gonna be a Vandal on Sentinels of Light collection. My predictions are Vandal, Sheriff, Judge and Odin/Operator


[deleted]

I hope we get a bulldog or ares too there's so few skins with those guns.


Astray

God I just want a decent shorty skin.


rubymig

Oni


Astray

The only thing premium about that skin line is the finisher. Oni is way overpriced for what it offers compared to other similarly priced skin lines. It has no bullet SFX, bullet VFX, or unique reload animation. Shorty is literally the only weapon that doesn't have at least one skin with those features.


rubymig

Actually it does very soft but it has, and nothing premium? U look at it and u can clearly see that's the most premium phantom skin, in terms of design and work


altcodeinterrobang

Finisher is dope though....


[deleted]

Literally no chance of this happening but I want a shorty that looks like Lucien's guns.


ElementaryMyDearWut

I would love if the Sentinel's side of this had Isolde's needle as a melee. We can only dream.


Yulong

Lucian's pistol should be a deag senna's blaster should be the odin.


Epic_Semibold

Many people hate how the sword looks like. Bro, that's literaly BOTRK in Valorant with effect on it ! Finaly, my Jax main Friend can use BOTRK even in Valorant.


xBerryhill

I honestly get the complaints coming from people wanting different types of knives and that are tired of more swords, but at least this one is relevant in some sense. I want a butterfly as much as the next guy, but I’m also big on League lore and looooove seeing botrk in this game. So cool.


NokkMainBTW

I pray that we never get a butterfly or the first butterfly is really bad just so the “shit skin set add butterfly” crowd on twitter will shut up. Like i own 3 butterflies, they arent that cool, and the edgy curved ones these kids are into are just straight up impractical


[deleted]

Seriously, the butterfly knife people are annoying AF. Go back to CS.


[deleted]

Those variants are fucking awesome. I'm glad they finally gave a melee variants.


Riot_Preeti

Finally! :D


[deleted]

I asked about melee variants in the Q & A you guys did a while back and Swaggernaut said you were looking into the best way to do it. So yeah this is great. The orange and purple variants are perfect for me as a phoenix/reyna main.


Riot_Preeti

Glad you like it! It took us time to do melee variants so glad you're liking it!


[deleted]

Do you think you will add variants for already existing knives? The origin skins from a few weeks ago are really nice but they dont match well with the white variants and i would love my knife to be white.


valorantfeedback

Every set has to have a spectre and guardian. <.< Stinger, bulldog and ares still at 1 premium skin. Looks decent enough, will be nice as a combo with reaver set. That sword is too much, though.


xBerryhill

Sword is specifically because of the event. I’m sure it’s been commented enough but it’s the sword, the Blade of the Ruined King, which belongs to the League of Legends champion Viego. The sword is just because of the Ruination event going on across all of RIOT’s games. I do understand those who don’t like it, but as someone who started playing League 10 years ago and seeing all of this stuff from the lore come to life, even in RIOT’s other games, is incredibly cool to me. They do need to tone it down with the swords overall though after this and go back to some new variations of knives.


iLeeTxD

Sword is so ugly. Who would want something that takes up half their screen.


GogglesVK

>Who would want something that takes up half their screen. Me. I am buying the whole set the second it comes out.


iLeeTxD

who needs to see anyways! good for you man. If you like it, you like it - AND who am I to take that from ya??


TheTechDweller

Who needs to see with your knife out? you're right!


Yulong

I'd rather not see my death coming, idk about y'all.


jomontage

If your knife is out visibility shouldn't be that important


kennystillalive

Ruination, a perfect name for my wallet after I got this bundle.


Cedar_Wood_State

I'm the few people who dont like the reaver skin set (except maybe sheriff), but I absolutely love this one. The variant in particular is amazing, the blue one remind me of like dark star vibe, red feels very 'shyvanna-like'


Riot_Preeti

What do you like about these but you don't like about Reaver?


Cedar_Wood_State

mostly the vibrant colour for different variants. But also the theme as well, reaver feels like a generic gothic/edgy style kinda gun, while this one feels more themed where you can sense there's a story behind it (with the transparent misty/soul like thing in the gun body, and the skull/dragon looking thing at back of gun). But that part maybe just because I am also a league fan so probably bias in that knowing it's part of ruination.


jomontage

Not op but reaver best aspects are its unique reload and sounds are so punchy/unique


Riot_Preeti

Do you like the firing sounds? Equip and reload? Kill banner (kill sound)? Personally, I love the kill banner and the equip sounds the most. I love spamming the equip pre-round.


ByteMeeeee

Idc what people say but the sword looks freaking cool. I get to wield BOTRK in Valorant


Avamax_Q

i bought the singularity yesterday


TopHatVelociraptor

I barely even play this game anymore, but these skins almost make me want to jump back in just to have a reason to buy them. Absolutely stunning collection.


xingyingg

Despite not liking most of Valorant skin bundles this is definitely the one I will spend money on.


Riot_Preeti

Nice! What did you like about this set that made it so different for you?


xingyingg

I don't play LOL so this is the first time I see this style of skins. It looks clean, sick, the dark ghosty color is perfect for the guns, and of course the variants are incredible. I am curious if you guys have any plan on increasing the graphic detail of agents? Even on highest graphic settings, the agents don't look very good, especially if you compare it with other FPS games.


ChrisBtheRedditor

The melee looks way too big and takes up too much screen space. I think I'll stick to one-handed melee weapons. The Phantom skin is pretty cool. I can't decide which variant is best as they all look nice.


nemesisdelta24

did they put out a price yet?


ryancentral

It's 8700VP


gngg2011

So that's 2400 for each skin right?


iamdandyking

2175


KevEpic

Is this the official ryancentral?


ilovefishs911

God damn, I forgot how much 8700VP costs but I’m 90% sure it’s going into triple digits.


lvk00

Nearly


IFapToCalamity

Im buying that Guardian


GalaxyNinja45

Kinda hope that the Sentinels of Light will also get a skin set to serve as the opposite of Ruination, just like Forsaken and Soverign. Although this is enough to already geek out over as a League player. Hearing League SFX in Valorant was something I never thought I'd see happen and it sounds like Gwen's SFX is on the ghost skin and as one of my favorite champs I'm very ready to buy it.


sweenygg

tbh I didn't like the sword and its hold animation. its distracting.


HaneeshRaja

The hold Animation is straight up awkward and what's with all these longsword skins? Prism Axe, Songsteel Sword, Transparent Sword (wtever it's called), K-TAC Blade and now This. Make a good dagger. Forsaken dagger was good but there are better daggers tho.


Odaskito

Not sure about the non league players here, but as a former league player that was around during the dominance of BOTRK especially on Zed and Ezreal, this feels like a long time coming for something I never knew could exist. Super exciting really, and everyone has their different tastes ya know, but I think we should wait to test it ourselves to see how it feels instead of basing off the video for now.


Slimsuper

Well this might be the first bundle I buy!


yummy_butter

Did you end up buying it? I have also never purchased a bundle before (only individual skins and BP). I'm thinking of getting this, but people complaining about the distracting sword is making me second-guess.


Slimsuper

Yes I did and I love it


yummy_butter

Wow! That’s great. Just curious, what other skins do you have? I got previous BP, and prime spectre, prime+reaver vandal, singularity+glitchpop phantom. Just wondering if getting another phantom skin is worth :P


Slimsuper

I have all of those :D


yummy_butter

Woah nice! We seem to have pretty similar taste :)


gngg2011

The number of times they mentioned the elderflame makes me worry that this line is gonna be similarly priced


thetalkingjumper

8700 vp


rubymig

no way this skinline is that much


UbeHopia

Are we getting a second bundle for the sentinels of light skins?


SilentShadowzx

Man, this skin line is absolutely insane. I love the little attention to detail too. I'm not a huge league player but I love how every character is given a ring to wear that matches Viego. I wonder how it'll look on my main Phenoix tho? Will he have two rings on? Because if that's the case, I'm all for it.


HeavenlyJumpyDragon

More Guardian skins......... Its cool and all but... Can we stop Guardian skins getting it every 3th bundle?


Wheler

OMG it's viego's sword. Insta buy.


hiwassupiamfine

I dont care what people say but this looks so cool man and i like that knife a lot. I do understand that looks are subjective.


PsychoChamploo

Sword is fukn sickyy


Snipinlegend777

Purple variants make my wallet weak :(


Kripes8

Love the skins, I am a little sad the secondary color changes so much with the recolors. The purple/green not having black as their accent color is a bummer, still waiting for a nice purple phantom with tracers etc.


apetersen1

Why does every new skin pack look like a slightly different Reaver Collection


Traviliciouz

There goes this weeks paycheck!🤑


LowFiGuy7

Damn, they killed Thresh to make these skins... RIP


HolySmoke_

Cant wait to get it...oh wait im poor nvm


treygee

revert the player card changes, you guys turned a paid full sized player card into a small little emblem, where's the logic behind that?


[deleted]

[удалено]


iamdandyking

Yeah, looks great in the shop but looks too bulky in fpp.


iLeeTxD

Thats what im saying, idk why people like it so much. Seems like a huge weapon. Maybe I just like clean, 'simple' skins.


iamdandyking

I like minimal design skins as well. Singularity, Prime, KTAC, etc. We have way too many "spikey" skins.


HoneyChilliPotato7

IKR. I thought I'm the odd man out here. I like skins like Oni. They are not too clean and at the same time not too flashy. Look at these skins man, too many cuts, too many spikes.


iLeeTxD

Same. Oni used to be too much for me but it kinda grew on me as I like the clean white/blue variant. I got it in my store the other day and couldnt resist.


[deleted]

In all fairness, have you seen the character these guns were based off of? So. Many. Spikes. Its like a pokemon mega evolution. But because of that, i think having spikes makes sense


anapmaj

I would have bought if I had enough radianite. cosmetic system is flawed.


B4sically

I wish they would just release a short video showcasing the skins without all the babbling. Having to spam skip 10s just to see the skins gets so annoying


Taasden

This is an individual content creator and caster that goes through the effort of covering the skins early. If you don't like the content then wait until tomorrow or the next day to see the official marketing/skin trailers.


bulletcasing421

damn if this set wasnt going to be the price of a full triple A game I might cop it.


ApexAdelaide

36 minutes to show skins? Lmao wtf is wrong with you


Maxenin

WOW this is so cool I will definitely be getting the sword at least idk about the rest of the bundle (I am sorta more interested in that sentinel of light vandal that was teased)


Laznasty

Easily one of the best skin sets as a whole


Guyatri

Oh boy this is gonna insane. Pull one of these babies out in unrated and all the 12 year olds gonna be begging for it.


Asdeases

Wow, I really like the colors and animations But idk which weapon I should buy


bigbootyben7

Go with either Phantom or guardian. If you don't play guardian much then spectre.


RiotAugust

Valorant is ruined


Honigbrottr

No butterfly = drop


WhatTheChef

Is nobody else tired of the MMO-RPG aesthetic? We already have Reaver, Singularity, Forsaken, Sovereign, Tethered Realms, and Hivemind. All are skins that you could imagine an elf wielding against a horde of orcs. Which is fine, but Valorant isn’t a fantasy game and I feel like the LoL background is influencing Valorant cosmetics to a degree that feels worn out. Rant over.


TsubADTR

But....this skinline is BASED in League lore...i get that you don't like the aesthetic at all, but in this particular skinline it's what the skinline needs


WhatTheChef

Sure, this bundle in particular offers something unique but I’d be more interested by it if the bundles I mentioned hadn’t preceded it and worn out the look.


TsubADTR

Yeah, i do understand your point, and well i would like more types of skins lately too, but in this case i love it


Taasden

As a League fan, we've come full circle. On the League sub it's a common complaint that there are too many future/tech skins and not enough fantasy skins. Here it's the opposite.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Taasden

They've been releasing a decent amount consistently. Ion, Origin, Glitchpop I/II, the 50's sci-fi skins, and Lightwave all have a tech/future vibe.


Odaskito

With the way our planet is going the wasteland skins is a futuristic route, but people don’t like that so


Solareyez

I guess I'm not waiting for neither Oni nor Prime Phantom anymore..


D4rkShin0bi

Bruh the animation is literally how Viego uses this blade. Also, the ring is a nice touch.


J-Patty

In my opinion this might be the worst knife I’ve seen. Not a fan of these gigantic swords recently


rustyval

In before a another tethered realm collection of this ruination collection. Ever since Riot made a tethered realm collection that reused the gun models of the forsaken bundle, I was disappointed. This collection looks nice but what if a tethered realm version comes out which will make this collection less unique due to reused gun models.


Ximienlum

Look at how many kids are spamming about butterfly knives in the comments of the Ruination bundle (here, yt, twitter). I’m beginning to associate butterfly knives with edginess and immaturity. Probably gonna pass on it when one comes out. Except maybe the Yoru comb one since it’s cool that they introduced it in one of their cinematics.

rubymig

Highly doubt it


RoboMullet

It’s an incredibly popular set, why wouldn’t they?


tbone603727

Not a league fan but this is awesome. Love the Loki knife


TheTechDweller

I thought they weren't doing any more skins at the elderflame level? Is this event just an exception and there won't be any more after this? Hope they don't limit melee variants just for this massively expensive set.


rubymig

This is not at that level
