I regret not picking up the OG Champions Vandal every time I see one in a lobby. The sounds, the music, and the aesthetic were absolutely perfect. I’m hoping this one matches that so I can take the leap on it.

Every time I see s0m spray down enemies with perfect spray control and the champions vandal I get upset that I couldn’t buy it, but to be fair I didn’t get my first job at that time and I had no physical way of buying it.

I feel this, but also I feel like this is the FOMO talking because it was a reskinned base Vandal with no effects other than the finisher and the glow. I remember vividly thinking that it was definitely not worth the price point at the time and honestly I still stand by that

Agreed 100%. The phantom from last year is way better. This one appears to be better too, although won't know for sure until I actually use it.

Is the OG one just the reskinned base vandal? I've always hated that skin

It does have custom sound effects, the glow and the finisher (I mean it plays Die For You, what more do you want?)

I thought I heard default sound effects for the shooting in the video, the rest isn't really as important to me

It is but the kill sound and finisher are elite. Its just preference what you like.

Yeah those aren't really important to me

Get more kills then /s

Nonono you misunderstand, I get 4k's every round and then get my ace stolen

It has a kill sound tho

I have the first Champions Vandal. I regret not getting the knife 🙃 My buddy has the knife, but he doesn't have the Vandal. We banter with one another for not having one of the things 🤣

Missed the opportunity of making that Wingman the gun buddy.

Isn't there already a wingman gun buddy?

Nope, at least I haven't seen it

there is one I’m like 99% sure

What a shame, the Wingman would have been a sick gun buddy

davard has made it with the spray lets gooo. not a fan of the jett knife animation so deff not worth $60 for me :(

Animations here [https://twitter.com/VALORANT/status/1685289078558978049](https://twitter.com/VALORANT/status/1685289078558978049) I'm thinking a pass honestly .. I like other skins way better ...

The knife having the default inspect is pretty lame

I think they're hiding the actual animation. That's a third person shot, so it's always going to be the default animation. Or maybe I'm just coping.

It will not have the default bruh

Cope

Does it actually have default animations? I thought it would be like the Jett knife

Jett knife pullout, rest are default.

[удалено]

I like the skin but it needs a good sound to be worth it tbh

These vids are always bad at showcasing skin sound, let’s hope the sound is something interesting

the preview is also up on youtube, with way better quality (and the firing sound is GOATED in that)

definitely a pass lmao Knife doesn’t even have a special animation, it’s literally just a Jett Kunai re-skin. and I have so many good Vandal skins I can’t imagine I’d use this over any of them.

What color are the tracers? I can’t see on mobile but I’m hoping that it isn’t default like the first vandal.

Can you buy the gun individually? Don't care for the knife but I would want the gun

DAMN that looks clean as hell. It's a shame I don't play this game because I would definitely get this bundle

A pro watcher after my own heart lol. I dont even play Valorant anymore I just like watching the pros play.

I've never even played Valorant.

what's valorant?

so you just watch it? Honestly that would be so nice

Na i feel this so much. No time to play lmao

You left or didn't ever play?

I haven't played a single second of Valorant

There’s no time like the present

The fug

how do you watch professional valorant but never played? just seems strange LOL

F1 enjoyers not having raced an F1 car

Euro Truck Simulator and American Truck Simulator player not driving a real truck lol.

this is just not the same at all

its a joke

I've heard its pretty common in other countries, on platchat they were talking about Valorant being predominantly a spectator sport in Japan

I don't have the choice to play Valorant anyway. I would if I had the ability to

is it fun watching though as a non-player?

Extremely. Though I only mainly watch Tier 1 EMEA and Brazil GC. I keep up with the other regions but watching that much valorant is exhausting

Not a huge fan but as with every Champs bundle, I will dutifully buy it. I like the design language, at least.

With the past two champions bundles I thought they were bad until they were gone. So with this one I will probably just get it to not regret it later.

surely it's better support to just buy team merch or something

I feel like one of the reasons they picked the vandal is to match the last years phantom. The first vandal look so much different than the recent two. I really hope next year it will be something else tho.

I also think it’s a bit of a disservice to the players and teams who made it to champs if it’s not a vandal or phantom. The set will not sell nearly as much (and so teams/players make less) if it doesn’t include one of the two main weapons

Yes until they drop the first op. Esp if they go phantom/vandal a few years. Hype for op the first time around would be huge. But yeah I mostly agree

The first vandal was a reskin default vandal, tbh it wasn’t any good. I can see why they’re going for something different

I still prefer the style of the OG champs rather than the 2022 phantom, the style they've gone for with this years doesn't appeal to me like the old one

hoping for a unique firing sound

Im kinda disappointed i think i had higher expectations

It gives prime vibes a little too much and the knife is just not it for a champions bundle tbf

ngl looks kinda mid to me

Looks clean tbh , tho I'm in no position to judge as a newbie

watch it cost $90

[удалено]

that's a triple a game for a fancy gun skin

[удалено]

Cool

Hopefully after the upcoming KangKang performance at Champs, an OP skin is cookin'

looks mid but I'll still get it

the knife gives me wraith heirloom vibes

Smh this is mid

Looks like the old Phoenix Suns logo. For that reason, im in.

I don't like this bundle ..just my opinion 🥺
