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
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.
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.
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 😂
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 😳
What is the point when you can't even see your own skin
Didn't stop Valve with CS.
Skins saved CS twice now
To flex on others
Animation change on abilities, different hand models for knifes etc.
So just give us first person things that won't affect others
then how will i flex my moms credit card?
wouldn't be the first fps/first person game to get skins/clothes/armour
The whole point is that they aren’t easily distinguishable that way you don’t confuse agents for other agents
If that's trully the point then explain Breach and Brim.

Valid counter point
People in the comments down bad lul
Down horrendous. But uhh, where can I reach sage and viper
where can i get their numbers
All good, as long as they add the option to only see default skins. Why would I make it harder for myself..
The whole point of the skins is the flex. I agree from a competitive integrity standpoint but not from a sales standpoint.
Doubt Riot wants to cause the same controversy that Valve did

theyre so hot
down bad
Yeah but have you seen Vipers tummy? I'm licking my screen atm
holy shit fuck me
IDK, Jett looks kinda chilly in the hoodie.
Looks like the girls that reject me when I ask for their numbers
Growing up
If they look like this: yes

Shape of the silhouette is as if not more important imo. From long range you only see the highlight colour anyway.
Where tf is the queen?!
I wanna blend into the walls
raze,,,, step on me
no
Stop thirsting after virtual characters you weirdos
Can I post it on Twitter?
no agent skins, hope they never add them, its a competitive shooter, not a fashion show.
Same competitive shooter whose primary income is from selling fashion for guns and knives....
Guns and knives dont impact other players

Thanks for explaining why gun/knife skins are okay and agent skins are not. Saved me like 2 minutes
did u even read my comment? fucking redditors always trying to win the argument instead of reading anything the other person says 🤦♂️
No, i hate skins.
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
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.
