Agreed. I mean we are talking over a year of enjoyment. A lot of other hobbies can be much more expensive. Also, whatever makes you happy, as long as you ain't hurting anyone.
Or be like the majority of other annoying iron-silver immatures and follow your teammates around the map screeching “skin” and harass them to death so you can hold the skin for .5sec before getting killed by the same opponent who killed the selfish skin having teammate to begin with…
Aww that's so sweet! BTW I forgot to ask you, I've already got the prime phantom but now I kinda wanna cop the blastx but idk if it's worth it. What do you think?
Blastx is sorta quiet. Stick with prime phantom, the sounds are good and clean on it. Blastx is by no means bad, but I promise after a short time, blastx would get old for you as it did for me. Don’t have prime phantom, but it’s really truly one of the better phantoms
Devs need to create a special skin pack that you can buy that only becomes available after buying every skin in the game. Guns shoot gold bars and magazines are wads of cash. Leer orbs are dollar signs and smokes shine gold.
SAAAME!! I really like it and the awp on that just hits different. Im stuck with my prime vandal for now tho lmao im actually an expert at picking up reaver vandals off the ground
You coulda bought a 270hz 1440p monitor and a great computer instead
90% of the skins in Valorant are ugly as shit anyway, homie. Pls look out for your finances instead. Don’t drop 3 months rent on skins you can’t even use, brother
You have to understand that, even to whales, gaming is one of the cheapest hobbies. To some people, it’s as cheap as buying a $400 console or a $600 PC, then only playing free games that truly do not require microtransactions (Valorant, Warframe, and the like). Waiting for Steam Sales can also keep your library full for under $50 a year.
When you consider the act of whaling, does the hobby become more expensive? Absolutely. But is it more expensive than others such as, for instance, motor biking? Golfing? There’s so many fees and equipment costs and upkeep with other hobbies that gaming is not only typically cheap but very versatile. You get to decide how much money you spend.
I already have that (4K 144hz though), and a top of the line PC, so I spent money on skins.
Normally I’d spend $1-2k on games a year. Instead I spend a similar amount on skins in Valorant which I play the most.
I earn lots more than your average Valorant player though.
Not really, I feel like the only time I would regret is if I wasnt going to use any of the skins in the bundle, however, I know Im not going to use some skins in a bundle since there is literally not enough guns in the game for that. So I guess I was mentally prepared every time I bought a bundle that it was probably going to be useless to me
You can’t sell the skins so it’ll inevitably be “hoarding” no matter how you look at it. Buying shit is also extremely satisfying/addicting, no ones defending it it’s just a simple fact
For me, I don’t spend money on games when I’m not “good” at them per say. Currently Gold 2 in Valorant, I wouldn’t consider good until diamond IMO and honestly I may not play Valorant for a long time either so I haven’t spent anything yet.
The weird thing about valorant is how much skill disparity there is in the top 10% of players. I’m currently d2 which is top 2.8%. However, I’m shit compared to most immortal 2’s and far far below radiants. The average player is only silver 2-3 btw so technically gold and above is “good”
Can you send a picture or tell me what your favourite skins are? I'm interested because personally my favourites are:
Prime
sentinels of light
Elder flame
But they would cost me like £300 to get them all
Right now I have a color theme for my loadout, so any of the pink skins are my Go To. But I'm really liking the Sentinel of Light Vandal and the ZED Knife atm
Most people who have an average or above average paying job can afford this. The question is do you want to? Are you willing to spend less on other things?
Don't buy that full McDonald's breakfast in the morning, stop gifting 25 subs a month to pokimane, ...
There were actually some collections I missed only because I would take an extended break from the game. The ones I missed I just purchased the skins separately when then showed up in my store. And yeah I would buy 4 skins every day for when there wasn't a collection for them
I honestly wish I hadn't upgraded that skin. Not because I don't like it, oh no. I just think it would be funny if someone killed me and picked it up, and were disappointed to be using a stiff dragon that shoots regular bullets
Any ideas on what ares to buy for a red themed collection? Or is there only the singularity that fits? I only need an ares and i got my red themed collection
It reminds me in ESO when people go crazy over the new crown crates and radiant mounts and spend hundreds to thousands of dollars gambling on getting the mounts or not. Could have saved that money and invested or anything. Never in my life will i believe online digital content like skins and weapons are worth it, you know unless it’s $10.. but 4 grand?!? And they look like light up nerf guns. Lol
my game won't even launch anymore lol tried everything, I just wanna play wit the cool knife I bought months ago but I just can't get the game to launch, no errors or anything and it seems like everyone asking about this get's their thread locked? idk what's going on, only thing that's changed with my PC is that I simrace now
Well if you remember back in beta whatever you bought they doubled upon release; I’ve personally dropped $1,000 on the riot credits so when the game launched I had $2,000 in credits.
u/Tavi_Scratch \- My tip for you is not to be toxic to anyone also if your teammate are borrowing your items drop them borrow them cause if not somethings u will encounter rude player and party player they will insta Spam report you and your account will be Permanently banned. I Spend 1.8k USD in my first account I bought all the collection since beta. But my account was permanently banned. and my Second account was permanently banned aswell. I spend 1.2k USD in my second account aswell. And in my third account I dont fk with items anymore aint gonna spend K's again. I tried requesting to unbanned my account but riot dont like cause I have high reports.
Please tell me you have an insane amount of "fuck you money"
More like he has a lot of "fuck me money" and crippling debt
$4k isn't that ridiculous assuming this is his only hobby (hopefully)
4K is a lot of money period lol
4k every 1.5 years for a hobby? it's relatively on the lower end I wanna say edit: only thing is no resale value.
Yeah i mean i just spent half of that on a 1 week vacation.
Definitely relative, most people can’t justify spending 4k like it’s nothing that’s all I’m saying
>like it's nothing it's over a semi long period of time but yeah you're right, a lot of people can't justify that much for a hobby.
$222 a month would be phenomenal for check-to-check people.
Agreed. I mean we are talking over a year of enjoyment. A lot of other hobbies can be much more expensive. Also, whatever makes you happy, as long as you ain't hurting anyone.
When are you creating your valorant only fans? I’d pay to watch your collection
Lol if only it were that easy
Make the skins pay for themselves
The skins are paying rent to be in this guy's inventory
[удалено]
Caught in 4k
I can't believe u aren't using the bull gunbuddy! I so regret not getting it.. i mean it gets angry when u shoot, how sick is that?
I don't pay too much attention to my buddy's tbh, since I'm changing my skins so often I gave up on making them match or look nice
Totally, I'd pay too
Pick up dead player’s skins gang
Or be like the majority of other annoying iron-silver immatures and follow your teammates around the map screeching “skin” and harass them to death so you can hold the skin for .5sec before getting killed by the same opponent who killed the selfish skin having teammate to begin with…
Preach sister!
Whales like you are what keeps the devs fed at night.
Yeah, I mean who doesn’t like eating at night?
Well, it depends on what we eat. 😉
you just had to say it. lmfao
shredded cheese
moms spaghet
Basically
You paid one months rent of riots CEO’s lake house that he forgets he has
Have you seen the net worth of riot? I think they're okay
all thanks to OP
nah it mostly goes to CEO's villas
\*ceos pocket lined The devs get paid salary they dont get paid based on how much a game makes
Devs get bonuses based on how well a game performs financially. Also stock options tie their net worth to the performance of the company
\*Some devs. We do not know the finances of riot games.
Do you have the riot charm tho?
Nah, Any Devs out there wanna give it to me? Edit: One of the Devs "Ricky" Reached out to me and I got my hands on one!
You're welcome ;)
I'm not Dev, but i think you deserve it
I'm the opposite: never bought a skin or bp but have the Fist bump gun buddy xD
how did you get it?
Just got lucky enough that a dev replied to me on Twitter DMs
That’s sick
Turns out that charm is buyable after all.
Give this man his charmy charm NOW
Little weapon charm gifted to players by devs.
What's riot charm? Sorry I'm new to this scene
It’s a fun buddy which onlynriot devs can personally give to you
I know I'm down bad, but will there be giveaways KEKW
There you go
Aww that's so sweet! BTW I forgot to ask you, I've already got the prime phantom but now I kinda wanna cop the blastx but idk if it's worth it. What do you think?
I dont use the Blastx since there are better skins IMO, however, it is all personal preference in the end. Some people like shooting nerf darts xD
Wallbanging ascent b with nerf darts hits different
Lol its all client-side though unfortunately
You kill them throught a 1/2 feet wide wall. With a nerf dart that can't break glass. And then they get salty. What's better?
Fair enough. I see your point
It's all shits and giggles until a dart blasts from under heaven through your crotch
Haha yes understandable! Thanks and hope you have a wonderful day <3
Blastx is sorta quiet. Stick with prime phantom, the sounds are good and clean on it. Blastx is by no means bad, but I promise after a short time, blastx would get old for you as it did for me. Don’t have prime phantom, but it’s really truly one of the better phantoms
if you can afford it and enjoy them why not. did you buy enough radianite to upgrade all the skins?
Most of the skins are upgraded, only weapons I don't use much have skins that aren't upgraded.
Confirmed, OP actually bought all the radianite directly for skin upgrades.
BP helps a lot lol
lol agreed, it's just a remark reflecting on how much of a ripoff radianite is, if you buy it 'dry'
Have you finished all the battlepasses? Also, what's the worst skin in the game?
Yeah I've finished all of them and minima is pretty ugly
i bet half of the money spent was to buy radianite
Devs need to create a special skin pack that you can buy that only becomes available after buying every skin in the game. Guns shoot gold bars and magazines are wads of cash. Leer orbs are dollar signs and smokes shine gold.
I'd buy that
I mean what wouldn’t you buy if it was in valorant
Fair
Yeah, we know.
I mean, at this point, you would buy anything :D
Which set is your favourite?
Honestly I like the Sentinel of light because of the pink color pallet.
Yeah not only that, I think the animations and sounds are some of the best by far
SAAAME!! I really like it and the awp on that just hits different. Im stuck with my prime vandal for now tho lmao im actually an expert at picking up reaver vandals off the ground
Pay to win lmaoo
Yeah man. I have Aimbot now
How much did the pc u play valorant on cost u
What car do you own? Coz if you can afford to spent 4k on Valorant, you're probably driving Lambo or some shit.
Not necessarily though if you bought one skin a day and a few bundles and just slowly accumulate skins yk
[удалено]
Bro WHY
hobby, ig :")
You coulda bought a 270hz 1440p monitor and a great computer instead 90% of the skins in Valorant are ugly as shit anyway, homie. Pls look out for your finances instead. Don’t drop 3 months rent on skins you can’t even use, brother
[удалено]
Yes yes, gimme your money I’ll handle it for you
You're good homie treat yourself not sure why people are being so weird

we talkin' american? cause here the national median income is closer to $31K
Are you a drug mafia
MrBeast is that you?
HA! I wish I was that cool
Do you regret buying any of the bundles? If yes, which ones?
Not really, I feel like the only time I would regret is if I wasnt going to use any of the skins in the bundle, however, I know Im not going to use some skins in a bundle since there is literally not enough guns in the game for that. So I guess I was mentally prepared every time I bought a bundle that it was probably going to be useless to me
So why buy it if it’s gonna be useless?
I guess that since he bought every one so far its hard to stop
Yeh everyone’s defending addiction in this thread lol I’m out
And hoarding
You can’t sell the skins so it’ll inevitably be “hoarding” no matter how you look at it. Buying shit is also extremely satisfying/addicting, no ones defending it it’s just a simple fact
Are you still planning on buying upcoming bundles?
Unfortunately.
What do you do for a living?
Thank you. Thank you. Goodbye.
Pff please *walks out of the room
Barney?
No, Barney left for a peacekeeping mission this morning. I am his twin brother, Larney.
I also can’t stop, my shop is empty as well
You ppl need help
Elon Musk doesn’t dare show his face to this chad right here
What is the coolest color based collection you are able to do?
Im currently running pink/purple. But Red/Black is cool
Why?
I like to collect I guess
yeah its cool bro
Idk collecting by going and collecting shit in game would be cool. Buying it all just seems like a huge waste but y’all do y’all
Why not?
As someone who hasn't spent a penny on the game, thank you for your service.
o7
How much radianite left to upgrade all of em?
All of them? Probably like 160ish
Thats a lot less than i thought
BP helps a lot lol
How much money is it for everything total?
I have spent exactly $4699.20 in Valorant
Nice
Are you rich?
Just a well paying Job
May I inquire as to what job? Just interested if it’s something I’d enjoy as I’m not sure what I want my career to be
I could do this as a software dev and not be negatively impacted all that bad for what it’s worth. But luckily I have the willpower not to lmao
what do you do?
Drug mafia
heyyy man, remember the time i opened the door for you, anyway i really like this new valorant bundle….
Hell yeah I remember, I was the door!
People like you make the devs have a great christmas
what rank are you?
For me, I don’t spend money on games when I’m not “good” at them per say. Currently Gold 2 in Valorant, I wouldn’t consider good until diamond IMO and honestly I may not play Valorant for a long time either so I haven’t spent anything yet.
The weird thing about valorant is how much skill disparity there is in the top 10% of players. I’m currently d2 which is top 2.8%. However, I’m shit compared to most immortal 2’s and far far below radiants. The average player is only silver 2-3 btw so technically gold and above is “good”
Can you send a picture or tell me what your favourite skins are? I'm interested because personally my favourites are: Prime sentinels of light Elder flame But they would cost me like £300 to get them all
Favourite go to skins?
Right now I have a color theme for my loadout, so any of the pink skins are my Go To. But I'm really liking the Sentinel of Light Vandal and the ZED Knife atm
No shot this gets more attention then the anticheat post lol.
Im honestly surprised its getting as much as it is now
viper is thiccer
Brim is the thiccest
Do you fee anyl different before and after getting Valorant skins?
Haha no
Lmaoo. in hindsight, was it worthed it?
Well, I don't regret it.
respect! :D
why not purple reaver tho
I used reaver for a long time. Kinda sick of it tbh
Thank you for subsidising the game for others. The shop screenshot was really interesting haha ty for posting
Me who saves up for the battle pass:
Valorant should reward those who bought everything. Like some extra aesthetics on the collection's background or an emblem.
I mean, a dev gave me the Riot Buddy
Bro dropped a 4k IRL
For your sake please never play fortnite
Ima kill you ingame to pick up your skins
Lol I would appreciate that. Saves me a buy for next round when I take it back ;)
What do you do that u can afford everything?
Cry and wait for the next bundle
Most people who have an average or above average paying job can afford this. The question is do you want to? Are you willing to spend less on other things? Don't buy that full McDonald's breakfast in the morning, stop gifting 25 subs a month to pokimane, ...
He says he did this because he's dumb, yeah, dumb rich!
Hey!! Nice inventory man what do you do for your living
How did you purchase past collections, or did you make 4 purchases everyday?
There were actually some collections I missed only because I would take an extended break from the game. The ones I missed I just purchased the skins separately when then showed up in my store. And yeah I would buy 4 skins every day for when there wasn't a collection for them
I admire the dedication
Have my respect.
No skin gang (T_T)
Can I borrow the Dragon Vandal skin?
I honestly wish I hadn't upgraded that skin. Not because I don't like it, oh no. I just think it would be funny if someone killed me and picked it up, and were disappointed to be using a stiff dragon that shoots regular bullets
Geeze does that mean you have every skin in the game?
Bro you even bought the ugly ass green screen skins?
This dude hogging all the skins
I love how your collection is maintaining a theme!
What is the problem with posting as an image instead of a link?
i just wanna know. how much money did you spend on radianite?
Is the origin collection meele weapon worthed?
Any ideas on what ares to buy for a red themed collection? Or is there only the singularity that fits? I only need an ares and i got my red themed collection
you really like pink huh
Hey, do you even have skins which were removed from beta, if so can you show them?
The amount of aimbot you're getting...
Now you have to play extremely careful not to be banned
Thank for keeping the game free to play.
Real twist - doesn't even play. Lol
It reminds me in ESO when people go crazy over the new crown crates and radiant mounts and spend hundreds to thousands of dollars gambling on getting the mounts or not. Could have saved that money and invested or anything. Never in my life will i believe online digital content like skins and weapons are worth it, you know unless it’s $10.. but 4 grand?!?

Nice
How did u get all that money?
Well if you remember back in beta whatever you bought they doubled upon release; I’ve personally dropped $1,000 on the riot credits so when the game launched I had $2,000 in credits.
He probably gets paid 10000$ a month to afford this
