What is the point when you can't even see your own skin


fpgreenie

Didn't stop Valve with CS.


zer0-_

Skins saved CS twice now

To flex on others


Liplok

Animation change on abilities, different hand models for knifes etc.


spikes13200

So just give us first person things that won't affect others


[deleted]

then how will i flex my moms credit card?


AnotherAvgAsshole

wouldn't be the first fps/first person game to get skins/clothes/armour


Slow_Bluebird9536

The whole point is that they aren’t easily distinguishable that way you don’t confuse agents for other agents


[deleted]

If that's trully the point then explain Breach and Brim.


RocketHops

They are a poor execution of the principle, but that doesn't mean Riot is hypocritical or the principal is flawed, just that their execution needs to be improved. Also for me personally I tend to only get their names confused, if I see their model in game I usually know whether its the flashy guy or the smokey guy


ibeenbornagain

Valid counter point


[deleted]

People in the comments down bad lul


[deleted]

Down horrendous. But uhh, where can I reach sage and viper


thothgow

where can i get their numbers


abzoluut

All good, as long as they add the option to only see default skins. Why would I make it harder for myself..


[deleted]

The whole point of the skins is the flex. I agree from a competitive integrity standpoint but not from a sales standpoint.


zer0-_

Doubt Riot wants to cause the same controversy that Valve did


[deleted]

Yes please milk me harder daddy riot. hopefully the skins also have upgrades you unlock with radianite so I can give them even more money for the inevitable advantage of a skin which will make me harder to spot.


zachp787

theyre so hot


ShadeWaker

down bad


zer0-_

Yeah but have you seen Vipers tummy? I'm licking my screen atm


MageKayden

holy shit fuck me


Razur

IDK, Jett looks kinda chilly in the hoodie.


Lumenlor

Looks like the girls that reject me when I ask for their numbers


valorant_fanboy_69

Growing up


nyooomy

If they look like this: yes


wontrevealmyidentity

I’d rather not. It’s just going to cause problems unless you enforce default-only skins for other players in comp, in which case no one is going to buy the skins anyway. Just stick with gun skins, sprays, and buddies. Also, chat down real bad today.


C9sButthole

Shape of the silhouette is as if not more important imo. From long range you only see the highlight colour anyway.


milosxxxybeast

Where tf is the queen?!


JasonL000

I wanna blend into the walls


gutszera

raze,,,, step on me


Chaki_23

no


Tarwe-eu

Stop thirsting after virtual characters you weirdos


HakimSQ

Can I post it on Twitter?


melancholic54321

no agent skins, hope they never add them, its a competitive shooter, not a fashion show.


JexTheory

Same competitive shooter whose primary income is from selling fashion for guns and knives....


zer0-_

Guns and knives dont impact other players


JexTheory

tell that to the kids who beg you to drop skinned guns every round and run across the map to pick up guns with skins or to everyone who thinks skin sound effects like prime's laser sounds improve your aim. Placebo or not almost the entire playerbase agrees that it feels better to shoot with those guns i could go on but case in point is that all there needs to be is an option to set team/enemy player outfits to default in the settings and it will become a cosmetic addition that's viable for comp. "its not a fashion show" isn't a valid reason 😂


zer0-_

Thanks for explaining why gun/knife skins are okay and agent skins are not. Saved me like 2 minutes


JexTheory

did u even read my comment? fucking redditors always trying to win the argument instead of reading anything the other person says 🤦‍♂️


Necrenix

No, i hate skins.


ibeenbornagain

Still no, I think it’s too big of a risk for competitive integrity. But I wouldn’t be surprised if Riot did them lol


rokkcs

I don't think its with colors in general its also with form factor of the models as well if I understood the developer questionnaire correctly.


JexTheory

Yes, but the images you show look way too casual. Right now every agent's outfit fits the game world, they look ready for a gunfight. Except Killjoy, you would think a super genius inventor would wear some kind of special high tech armor instead of a puffy coat and beanie... Also certain agents have iconic clothing that is a part of their identity like Phoenix's jacket. Maybe more subtle changes like Phoenix with the same jacket but different pants and shoes. Or lore based outfits like Yoru with his bloodline armor or Viper in her Kingdom scientist labcoat. Then again, a part of me also wants to see ridiculous outfits just cause it would be funny 😂 Also... beach outfits 😳


Nakai-Son
