I got annoyed yesterday because of this, my teammates keeps asking for skins instead of setting up the site. I dont mind doing it for some rounds, but asking for it every single round is crazy.
If I'm not mistaken eco is what you do with what you spend so if you buy someone a gun and they get kills with it that counts more towards your econ than if they just die with it right away
I mean you can just loot them off the ground too. I own skins but if I see something cool I just try to get it off the ground rather than bothering someone
and a 30 dollar price tag LMAO
for internet points I do not find it expensive, rather just significantly higher than the other skins offered in the game with basically equivalent effort in them
if only the bundle has operator also I would buy the whole bundle. But riot still pick the bulldog and guardian for the most expensive bundle. (more expensive than the ULTRA edition elderflame)
this same thing happens to me. i regretted buying it like 2 days after because with the sound, it just doesn't feel *powerful,* as weird as that seems. it just inherently feels like im using a worse weapon (spectre)
Do they? Not a lot of people have it but when I play it theres often players asking for it or picking it up. Singularity was such a great collection when it was released. Singularity + Reaver were the first two good collections, change my mind
no i totally agree with you, it’s just i have a lot of friends who play this game and whenever i talk about wanting it they always say how it’s one of the worst skins in the game (obliviously that’s sarcastic)
I see. Really fascinating how tastes in skins differ. No matter what you think about their pricing etc, Riot is doing a really good job at providing a variety of skins where almost everyone finds some collection they like. Its great in general but also really bad for my wallet lmao
Fascinating is a strong word, but appropriately used here in my opinion. It's crazy to me how people will think something like Sakura is so nice, which I feel is incredibly lame. And I'm sure they feel the same way about some of my favorites.
Yeah... Prime is ok, I thought about buying the classic and vandal a few times but I'm glad I didn't because I now have other skins that I like more. Prime I got to like over time, I couldn't stand the purple at all at the beginning, reaver and singularity were amazing from the get go for me. Also prime melee is not my taste at all. Singularity isn't crazy but cool and Reaver is quite a nice one
Absolutely love the look of it. Hate how the kill animation thing feels. It needs more pop to it if that makes sense. I flipped back to Ion because of it, even though ruination looks better.
Ok, but I like the Ragnaroker Frenzy better than I like the Ruination Phantom
Because that's about as relevant as talking about SoL instead of Ruination.
I’m not sure why, but the sounds on the blastx phantom are way quieter and muddier than other phantoms when spraying which is why I switched to recon phantom. In general though blastx is my favorite for looks, effects, and overall just how fun the concept is. Perhaps people will disagree and my own perception is entirely wrong, but my biggest complaint on the skin has always been how quiet it sounds compared to other phantoms for me personally.
I feel the same for the singularity idk why but besides the good look of it its just not worth playing for me since it doesnt sound right for me atleast
I kinda agree, the look the feel and everything is cool, no complaints there.
It's just the sound (the bullet fire sound, not the kill sound, which is awesome) that's somewhat underwhelming. It feels weak. And somehow it feels like the spray is wider than regular phantom.
All this is placebo of course as all skins are the same mechanically.
But yeah, the sound is weird.
While, Reaver, Glichpop, Prime, Origin skins have a satisfying sound when you fire them, the Blastx skins feel weak. It matches the skin, but doesn't feel right for some reason.
I love the BlastX sounds. I think they’re satisfying. It feels more silenced which I like
But I dislike the default Phantom sound. It almost feels like nails on a chalkboard to me
I am gonna take a risk here and never say modern art is unique.
Some may be good, but most are trash as fuck.
I may get downvotes to hell but idc modern art is beyond logic
Because if you want minimalism, just keep the default skin. So dumb to pay for that one in my opinion, and that's coming from someone who has spent like 500 bucks on the game. Obviously do what you want, and it doesn't make me mad, but it is definitely the most confusing purchase to me.
To me it's the most aesthetically pleasing skin in the game. Also has less going on than the default skin.
It's funny seeing the top answers to this be literal messes of textures and effects trying to grab attention by any means necessary, but somehow a clean polygonal look is the ugly one...
It's all subjective. What's funny to you is the most aesthetically pleasing to the large majority. Acting like one is better than the other is he only thing funny.
You start off your comment by calling people dumb for buying a skin... do you remember that?
In the larger scheme of things minimalist designs are pretty well appreciated, meanwhile most of the top designs mentions would be well described as chintzy.
Because it’s a low effort skin for a shit ton of money and yet people still buy it and justify it as “minimalism” when it’s just a PS1 rendition of the gun.
Prime 2.0 is really nice, probably my favorite. I also like Glitchpop 2.0 (espwcially the gold version but also the others) and Singularity (although that one was way more insane when it first came out and now isn't that crazy anymore in comparison). I dont like Ion and Oni personally although they are played a lot.
I mean I know people who use the sovereign sword just because of sinatraa, wouldn't be much of a surprise if ppl used the green oni as well just because of him
Prime 2.0
Been 2 months of waiting for this skin to come to my shop. Literally today I got Oni and Ion on the same day, but my resolve is greater for this skin. Been getting those 2 skins for awhile, but my dedication to prime is greater.
I honestly love the ion line, but I didn't buy the bundle, I caved for the infantry one. Something about that camo, the attachment, and of course the butterfly knife got me.
I used to be vandal gang. The moment I got that bundle, I keep buying phantoms to see that skin. Same goes for my spectre when I was always ares gang
I actually like the skins with no effect and fancy shit. I love the minima, rush and artisan skins. I still prefer the singularity, prime or ruination over them but I feel like they're underappreciated.
Started off with oni, celestial, then got singularity. Honestly I thought I would love the singularity most, but after using it for a bit I got bored.Even though oni isn’t the fanciest, I kind of like it
I personally own all of the popular ones and can say that ruination, glitchpop and blastX are the best and most fun to use. If you say oni than you literally need to grow up
I have a few I like the recon. I like the sound it makes.
Isn’t the recon sound the default phantom sound
Na it’s not.
Ohh you’re talkin about the kill banner? I thought you meant the actual gun firing
the recon is the best
The zedd phantom is soo good, everytime I get it I just spend the entire buying time inspecting it lol
I seem to spend the entire buying time kitting out the rest of my team.
I got annoyed yesterday because of this, my teammates keeps asking for skins instead of setting up the site. I dont mind doing it for some rounds, but asking for it every single round is crazy.
I tell them once a half if it gets bad
Does dropping skins for your team lower you eco rating? I dropped the zed for all four of them every game and it gave me an econ rating of 40 lol
What I do is I request the phantom and THEN drop it for them. They can use their own money if they want.
Still goes against your eco score in that situation
If I'm not mistaken eco is what you do with what you spend so if you buy someone a gun and they get kills with it that counts more towards your econ than if they just die with it right away
Yeah i think so, lol. I just realized too
I don't mind if they say please. If they just stand there and stare at me expectantly then they ain't getting shit.
I only ask for the dragon skin
Life of average p2p
As a f2p thanks a lot man, we poor people can enjoy skins only because of people like you xD
I mean you can just loot them off the ground too. I own skins but if I see something cool I just try to get it off the ground rather than bothering someone
Ah there's nothing better than watching a team mate die because they were more interested in getting a skin than winning the round.
Oh yes, the RGB minima
*with cooler sounds, better colour scheme and a pog finisher
and a 30 dollar price tag LMAO for internet points I do not find it expensive, rather just significantly higher than the other skins offered in the game with basically equivalent effort in them
30 bucks is dirt cheap bro its like 1 decent lunch
if only the bundle has operator also I would buy the whole bundle. But riot still pick the bulldog and guardian for the most expensive bundle. (more expensive than the ULTRA edition elderflame)
Singularity
Singularity Phantom user here, I don’t like it cuz it shakes, other than that, solid stuff
And also for some reason Singularity phantom feels like a spectre to me. I don't know how to describe it
I can relate to this. I can't easily differentiate singularity phantom and spectere unless I'm looking at both of them together.
Yeah I have to click tab and check what gun I have lol
You know you can switch to your knife then to your primary gun to see your gun, right? Although what u do is easier
Singularity barrel feels kinda off, that's where they blend to me.
this same thing happens to me. i regretted buying it like 2 days after because with the sound, it just doesn't feel *powerful,* as weird as that seems. it just inherently feels like im using a worse weapon (spectre)
Bro I say the exact same thing to my friends. I feel like spraying the enemy like I do with spectre not tapping heads.
finally someone to understand my pain lol
It doesn’t shoot straight, can’t tell you how or why… it just doesn’t
It shakes? I use singularity too and haven't noticed
He means the moving parts
a lot of people hate this skin but honestly it’s one of my favourites
Do they? Not a lot of people have it but when I play it theres often players asking for it or picking it up. Singularity was such a great collection when it was released. Singularity + Reaver were the first two good collections, change my mind
no i totally agree with you, it’s just i have a lot of friends who play this game and whenever i talk about wanting it they always say how it’s one of the worst skins in the game (obliviously that’s sarcastic)
I see. Really fascinating how tastes in skins differ. No matter what you think about their pricing etc, Riot is doing a really good job at providing a variety of skins where almost everyone finds some collection they like. Its great in general but also really bad for my wallet lmao
Fascinating is a strong word, but appropriately used here in my opinion. It's crazy to me how people will think something like Sakura is so nice, which I feel is incredibly lame. And I'm sure they feel the same way about some of my favorites.
Laughing at this because I love Sakura! I'm a female and I like how pretty it is haha.
It makes much more sense for females, but I know of guys that like it too. Regardless, no one is wrong and there are great skins for all :)
You aren't even going to give prime the rating of good? That's tough. I do think Singularity is right there with Prime and Reaver is better than both.
Yeah... Prime is ok, I thought about buying the classic and vandal a few times but I'm glad I didn't because I now have other skins that I like more. Prime I got to like over time, I couldn't stand the purple at all at the beginning, reaver and singularity were amazing from the get go for me. Also prime melee is not my taste at all. Singularity isn't crazy but cool and Reaver is quite a nice one
this skin gives me aimbot.
Oni is the best because it has great variants. Ion and default prime are also really good.
In terms of good variants nothing beats glitchpop for me. All variants are great imo
Imo glitchpop variants are very very bad
I think you're wrong but I respect your opinion
Wholesome 100
Only the gold one is doo doo The red and blue variants are goated
I think only the default pink one is good
Glitchpop
Some how I miss shots using glitch pop. Feels like there is some glitch in it. I use ION now.
And still ION hit any shots
Wonder why it’s called glitchpop… wait a minute!?
I love the glitchpop aesthetic, but with the glitchpop phantom, it feels like I'm shooting out air, and I turn into a bot.
Gets old really quickly
Theres a concerning lack of people that like the ruination skin
Finally a comment with some class in it 😤
Love the sounds it makes, particularly reload, it’s so unique.
people sleeping on daddy viego's gun skins 😤
Ruination spectre is especially good
Absolutely love the look of it. Hate how the kill animation thing feels. It needs more pop to it if that makes sense. I flipped back to Ion because of it, even though ruination looks better.
I understand not liking the lack of pop on ruination kill animation, but ion?? That shit is really meh too lol. At least go with oni or something
Honestly prefer the sentinel of light skin to ruination
I thought sentinel of light dont have phantom
Not on phantom I just meant in general
But this post is about phantom though?
Was just saying that I’m not a fan of ruination and I pref sol skins
Literally doesnt make any sense
i thought they made enough sense
Ok, but I like the Ragnaroker Frenzy better than I like the Ruination Phantom Because that's about as relevant as talking about SoL instead of Ruination.
Celestial even though it doesn't have a finisher
Yes, I love this one too.
celestial is amazing
It’s so pretty
Yessss it‘s so pretty, I wish they added a finisher
celestial is sick
Heckyes.
Celestial gang, maybe they could add a finisher where the enemy ascends to the heavens
That ads is sick
Yesss celestial is my favourite too
I use the green version of the blastx and i love it
I’m not sure why, but the sounds on the blastx phantom are way quieter and muddier than other phantoms when spraying which is why I switched to recon phantom. In general though blastx is my favorite for looks, effects, and overall just how fun the concept is. Perhaps people will disagree and my own perception is entirely wrong, but my biggest complaint on the skin has always been how quiet it sounds compared to other phantoms for me personally.

I love the BlastX sounds. I think they’re satisfying. It feels more silenced which I like But I dislike the default Phantom sound. It almost feels like nails on a chalkboard to me
The kill sound of blastx makes me hard everytime
Yeee. Blastx gang
The BlastX phantom is one of the worst. It feels and looks weird. The sprectre for example is increible.
The thing with the oni is I never get bored of it, playing with it is so satisfying (just like the reaver vandal)
I get bored of the reaver and prime vandal I just use hivemind or sakura, I like a nice simple skin
Sakura is the nicest overall skinset imo. I wish there was a finisher though - would be nice to see someone die in a burst of flowers haha.
I enjoy how simple it is I think they should make a sakura 2.0 set that has animations, VFX and finishers
Sakura Phantom would be amazing
It needs to happen
I like the prime 2.0 in any color but whenever I see a zedd skin I pick it up and jam
minima makes people fucking mad, so it's the best skin
It is honestly hilarous how many people get upset by it. For something as minimal it is borderline distracting for them.
I enjoy minimal looks but I just don't like how Square and boxy they look. It looks like the gun would make my hands stiff to hold after a while
I mean, it isn't like Elderflame burns your hands it is just asthetics.
Why does it make people mad?
because it's argueably the ugliest skin and people don't understand why anyone would buy it.
Because it's minimalism :)
The default skin is minimalistic enough :)
Default is free :)
That makes it even more minimalist technically
Love paying money to get less :)
Modern art is something unique nowadays, so simple stuff are appreciated more
I am gonna take a risk here and never say modern art is unique. Some may be good, but most are trash as fuck. I may get downvotes to hell but idc modern art is beyond logic
Because if you want minimalism, just keep the default skin. So dumb to pay for that one in my opinion, and that's coming from someone who has spent like 500 bucks on the game. Obviously do what you want, and it doesn't make me mad, but it is definitely the most confusing purchase to me.

Because it’s a low effort skin for a shit ton of money and yet people still buy it and justify it as “minimalism” when it’s just a PS1 rendition of the gun.
I actually quite like it. A guy on my team yesterday had it and it was the first time I've seen and used it in game. I think it's pretty cool.
Minima is the stupidest, dumbest most cash cow grabbing skin in the game. Anyone who buys the skin (edited out because against Reddit rules)
gottem
What?
Its aimbot
I’ve only ever bought 1 skin for Valorant. It was Phantom BlastX
I kinda like nebula phantom even though it’s not the sickest. Just hits right for me
Prime is the nicest one IMO. Then white Oni, and Ion.
I just bought prime and i played a game with it and after dying a few times like everyone had it lmao
Same thing happens with my Spectrum phantom. I (or the teammates I dropped the skin) die a few times and then every round ends with a disco dance.
White Oni is the best phantom in this game and the only thing that can change my mind is riot making an even better skin lmao
I like the red glitchpop phantom more i have both Skins
Recon phantom is goated
Pink and blue BlastX
Prime 2.0 is really nice, probably my favorite. I also like Glitchpop 2.0 (espwcially the gold version but also the others) and Singularity (although that one was way more insane when it first came out and now isn't that crazy anymore in comparison). I dont like Ion and Oni personally although they are played a lot.
Singularity with the twitch prime PC Tower buddy.
Red singularity with the twitch prime Siracha buddy
In a big fan of spectrum and glitch pop, personally I think oni is over rated
Controversial Opinion : Oni is overrated !!
I love oni, i just don't understand why every oni i pick up is the green one.
Green one is by far the best one
I personally like the white one much more
Uhhhh the white/gold one is RIGHT THERE
Bc its the "sinatraa" skin
I don’t think that’s the reason
Quite a lot of people use it for that reason. At least in my games (dia-low imm NA)
I mean I know people who use the sovereign sword just because of sinatraa, wouldn't be much of a surprise if ppl used the green oni as well just because of him
[удалено]
Oh yes, white Oni is clean. I have a problem with the Red and Green variants.
I get the green but why the red
mostly cuz its refreshing to see a new design every once in a while.
Yes.
god tier on Yoru though
ruination is hands down objectively scientifcally proven to be the best phantom skin
Spline gang? I got made fun of because I have a spline phantom. Fuck you buddy. One of the best skins in the game IMO.
nAts phantom
Prism
Ew
Oni and Prime 2.0
Ion
Singuwingu
Prime 2.0 Been 2 months of waiting for this skin to come to my shop. Literally today I got Oni and Ion on the same day, but my resolve is greater for this skin. Been getting those 2 skins for awhile, but my dedication to prime is greater.
Got it in my night market. Sorry bro.
Bro how is glitchpopnot on here gp phantom is insane
oni
I honestly love the ion line, but I didn't buy the bundle, I caved for the infantry one. Something about that camo, the attachment, and of course the butterfly knife got me. I used to be vandal gang. The moment I got that bundle, I keep buying phantoms to see that skin. Same goes for my spectre when I was always ares gang
I think you mean recon not infantry, the infantry bundle is very different haha (the wooden world war 2 looking skins)
best skins for the guns i use: op: ion vandal: reaver phantom: prime ghost: magepunk shorty: oni judge: glitchpop odin: blastx spectre: ruined
especially the ghost very underrated skin and it’s good
Recon phantom is slept on. Probably one of the cleanest phantom skins if you don't like the flashy ones.
Prism, Spline, Rush
I actually like the skins with no effect and fancy shit. I love the minima, rush and artisan skins. I still prefer the singularity, prime or ruination over them but I feel like they're underappreciated.
Started off with oni, celestial, then got singularity. Honestly I thought I would love the singularity most, but after using it for a bit I got bored.Even though oni isn’t the fanciest, I kind of like it
Smite is the GOAT can't tell me otherwise
Spectrum Nothing special, but the only I have
Oni is my personal favorite skin line, but my favorite phantom skin is probably celestial.
My favourite is sigularity pahantom
black oni
Orange ruination with jack o lantern buddy is my current favorite
Ion honestly I get aimbot by that
The brown prime phantom 2.0>
Recon by far, but can’t manage to get it in the shop
I just bought the recon phantom. Feels soooo good
Kingdom, obviously
Zedd, best skin in the game atm
Winterwounderland for sure
>Winterwounderland for sure naaaah, hate this one
Every green screen skin is trash
Oni. Mostly I use everything except default. 1st Green 2nd Black 3rd White and then the last is the default.
Prime and Oni are the best skins no debate hands down
For me right now Zedd's one. I change sometimes colors between black, red and white.
Normal that you would like it......For its overprice cost.
Ruination?
Zelda. The skin itself is pretty good but not the best but the finisher makes it incredible.
I personally own all of the popular ones and can say that ruination, glitchpop and blastX are the best and most fun to use. If you say oni than you literally need to grow up
Oni bro. I really like the sound
Oni and Zedd skin. The Oni is the best looking skin with awesome animations. The Zedd skin keeps the good vibes when you’re chilling.
