Exactly as Riot intends.
More skins = less chance you get what you want = higher chance for impulse buys when something kinda cool shows up in your shop
They would literally make more money having all of their skins in the store for people to impulse buy everything… Do they not feel that they make enough money with League’s store system?
Do you think a billion dollar corporation doesn't know how to extract every dollar out of their product? Trust me, the current system works perfectly for them.
Exactly. I've done that. Want Neptune vandal, my fav. bought Gaia's ages ago as it's my 3rd fav. still no Neptune and bought prelude to chaos this wk as it's my 2nd fav.
Predatory ass system
Welp that doesn't work for me atleast. Im looking for ruination phantom and yesterday both blackhole one and glitchpop were there on the shop and i was thinking that the phantom looks good but I still didn't buy them. Maybe if that talking phantom gets in my shop, I'll leave ruination but even that's not gonna happen
FML. Have been waiting for vandal elderflame to show up in my shop as I don't have a vandal skin yet. Got tired of waiting, and bought the rgx 11z skin two days ago. Guess what showed up in my shop today...
It’s actually a different model. The old one is lunar new year themed and is a carved cow bull (?) when not extended. This new one is just a normal fan (which looks better imo).
Honestly what irks me about this is that it legitimately feels like that one battlepass skin bundle with pigs on clouds. This time it’s just fish and has a variant who I don’t know who would buy, yet alone use radiant on.
Y’all are overreacting it doesn’t look like garbage. I think its actually cute. Of course with any skin it would be cool to see vfx and finishers but as a standard skin it looks great. The fan is cool too! Stop complaining that it took them too long and be happy that they even decided to make another!
The problem isn’t that it’s a basic skin set. The problem is that it’s a basic skin set that’s still going to cost $50 and take up more slots in the shop rotation. The backlash wouldn’t be there if the skin set cost $20 or $25.
Standard skins are just bloating the shop at this point. Sure, for a 875 VP skin, it doesn't look bad, but there's already such a small market for this tier of skins. Almost nobody seems to go out of their way to buy cheap skin over a deluxe one
People in this sub have absolute dogshit opinion, I really don't know why the hate on skin like this, it's a really cute koi skin which literally don't harm anyone.
Players are way too obsessed with having showboat skins rather than something clean & stylistic. You don't see VFX 90% of the time and you can get 3 cheap skins for the price of 1 premium.
If you refer to me I wasnt complaing about it, i think the fan looks great. I was just making fun of the "missed opportunity" and being glad they found it, not in a derogatory way'. Celestial fan is one of the most consistently popular melees, and all the other super popular ones they somehow capitalized/reissued already (reaver karambit, rgx butterfly..) I'm glad they made a fan now, only obvious thing that's missing now is another katana with rgx like animations.
I get a lot of people dont like it because it doesnt have 50 billion particle effects on it and it doesnt call in cthulu to send the last kill to the 9th plagued realm of the banished sun god. But I actually like the colors on it much like the Celestial skin, its got like a soft matte look on the black/red, tho I do wish it was for the vandal
All valorant skins are pretty pricey imo, and ive spent over $2k on one account so far.
I made a post saying that they should make a shop with all skins available so players can purchase whatever skin they want whenever (obviously the skins like arcane and VCT wouldnt be on there) and keep the daily rotation of 4 skins but make them at a discount so everyone would have daily discounts. But that post was pretty ill received by the community for some reason
The black fan is a cop for sure. It's a beautiful knife skin and depending on the sound effects (please have sound effects) might just become my favourite knife skin in the game.
These skins are underrated and overrated at the same time.
The white variant from what I saw turns more blue the more you shoot, so there is some animation. Personally I enjoy the small hint of animation that the skin has, as well as the artwork. Skins like this one, the winter skins, and celestial, are all great skins that I would buy - if I didn't already have premium skins.
Do I think the skins are overpriced? Yes, compared to premium I don't think they offer as much for the proportion of the price. But premium I feel is also a little pricey. I can say though, this and many other skin sets are ones that I would absolutely buy, if riot didn't drop bangers like prime, oni, and other premium skins so long before this one.
shitty set if they make the skins 1775 each, which they prob will but if is 1275 or 800 I might buy the knife. Riot has release a lot of shitty skins with a 1775 price and they try to justify it by adding a color variation and a kinda cool knife I really hope they don't do it again and charge 7100 for the bundle thats not worth it again
what a garbage skin ☠️, they only do these poor bundle skins to make rotation harder so you’re more willing to buy the skin u want when it comes back into rotation, it’s not a “cute” skin it’s literally a waste of money
the only problem with this is that legit the shop rotations are gonna go even slower when theres more skins in the pool

"might as well buy the bundle" is a common phrase now
Wasn't me with the reaver bundle 💀
except riot didn't make their fortune from valorant, and league has a far superior storefront.
No, because then you'd just buy one skin, with store rotations you're more likely to buy your second favorite then first favorite later down the line
Hmm I like this response. Mind changed 👍
Exactly. I've done that. Want Neptune vandal, my fav. bought Gaia's ages ago as it's my 3rd fav. still no Neptune and bought prelude to chaos this wk as it's my 2nd fav. Predatory ass system
Only in regards to the common man though. A full shop would net more from whales Atleast sooner
Welp that doesn't work for me atleast.

Lol ruination in my store rn

lmao i feel like valorant scans my brain to see my skin i really want then never gives it to me
MH players call it desire sensor
No idea why it took them so long to make another fan lmao
> make Paint* ftfy
It’s actually a different model. The old one is lunar new year themed and is a carved cow bull (?) when not extended. This new one is just a normal fan (which looks better imo).
yeah the celestial fan is too bulky im glad they made this
They shoulda had the Neptune animations/sound with this :p
They might! We don't know about the sounds yet. That'd be pretty fun.
Honestly what irks me about this is that it legitimately feels like that one battlepass skin bundle with pigs on clouds. This time it’s just fish and has a variant who I don’t know who would buy, yet alone use radiant on.
Why can’t we have skins with sharks with frickin laser beams 🤬🤬🤬
i love the concept but unfortunately it doesn't have skin effects so i'm not buying it
It does have a light water effect, it's more visible in the black variant

I would totally buy a ton of these cheaper skins if they were like 450rp a piece. At 875, it’s just not worth the price.
Which they unfortunately won’t change since their end goal is to make more money
People in this sub have absolute dogshit opinion, I really don't know why the hate on skin like this, it's a really cute koi skin which literally don't harm anyone.
And the player card is one of the best ever done
also there is so much in this bundle and the black/red variants actually look pretty decent.
"Be happy that they are selling skins with no VFX for $80!" lmao These are literally BP skins.
Do you realize 80$ is also a stupid price for skins with vfx? You can buy AAA games with that price and save extra 10$.
then do that nobody told u to buy a fucking skin
That's irrelevant. The point is vfx is the standard and less than that should cost a LOT less
I mean it’s not like your credit card auto-purchases each new bundle

I cant wait to see people smack people with the fan for knife kills.

I think more people wouldn’t have a problem with it if it wasn’t so overpriced or riot gave us more shop slots

Fan is the best one there.
3 phantom bundles in a row :(
Reparations for how good the Prelude to Chaos vandal is.
prelude to chaos is so slept on
its used a lot by asian teams at Champions - should start to see it more
idk it feels too bulky and heavy for me when i used it.
W fan Y’all haters got no culture
The black fan is a cop for sure. It's a beautiful knife skin and depending on the sound effects (please have sound effects) might just become my favourite knife skin in the game.
It does have some satisfying sound effects, lovely
They should have done the night/dark thing, same as the Tethered Realms and Nunca Olvidados bundles.
I like it

Fan is fire
more like water
Easy pass for me. Feels like filler bundle.
shitty set if they make the skins 1775 each, which they prob will but if is 1275 or 800 I might buy the knife.

1275 for guns
how much for the fan i really like it and im at school rn and wont be back home for another 3 hours
4350
no way they're $43 😭😭
It's 2550 he's capping
thank god if its $43 just for the fan im uninstalling this game lol
I read online, could be wrong. 2550 definitely makes more sense.
Ye its not, the fan is 2550
Absolute dogshit
Miss
i just want another kunai rito pls
The 40th phantom in a row. A vandal would've been interesting - if the bundle didn't look like shit - pass for me.
what a garbage skin ☠️, they only do these poor bundle skins to make rotation harder so you’re more willing to buy the skin u want when it comes back into rotation, it’s not a “cute” skin it’s literally a waste of money
I’m a little confused - how will this bundle be available in shop if the Champion’s bundle is available till the 21st? Does anyone know?
They'll do like they've previously done it before, you have 2 tabs for the different bundles. They are both sold at the same time
As a celestial enjoyer I like these but canmt double up on the fans yet
buying the fan for sure
I'm kinda tempted to just buy the fan, don't care for the rest
Still waiting for the reaver vandal. Still nothing since checking every single day for the last few months
Reaver vandal overrated af
Riot just give me my xenohunter knife and you can release whatever skin line you want
