Will Riot ever change Valorant's store?

Let's be honest, nobody has ever liked the Valorant store. 4 daily rolls of hoping to get lucky on the skin you want is a scummy store design. Unfortunately it also works because people give in to fear of missing out and buy whatever good skin they see in case they never get it again.

But this system is reaching a point of ridiculousness very quickly. They are adding bundles of new skins every month and so eventually there's going to be thousands of skins in this game. 4 slots that roll randomly each day is not good enough to accomodate that many skins. To put it into perspective, if there are 1000 skins in the rotation, you have a 0.4% chance of ever getting the skin you want. There are players who've never even seen the skins that they want because of this store design.

People have complained about the store many times before but Riot has never as much as acknowledged the complaints. I wonder if they'd even consider changing things even years from now.

They don't have to open their market like CS, they can just make their store more reasonable.

I've been waiting a year and a fucking half for an rgx vandal to show up in my store, I think i've had 10 rgx specter's show up tho

THE STORE IS ASS, it was good when there wasnt many skins, but now there are hundreds

They should make it bigger and add weekly rotating night markets 🔥

It's not even about the quality of skins, that's entirely subjective. Some like the flashy Valorant skins and some prefer the cleaner CS skins.

What isn't subjective is the fact that the Valorant store is complete dog compared to the CS market.

Facts, plus it's already mad expensive for a single gun skin to where you'll honestly overpay and constant FOMO and shitty night markets, like let's be real you're insanely lucky if you get more than two good night market skins.

They either need to expand the amount of dailys or just combine the idea that #3 had and I doubt they'd ever do it but add a resale market similar to cs. I don't know how many times me and many others ik buy a bundle or a singular skin and then after awhile you'll never use it again, but riot is greedy so I doubt they'll ever do it

What I don't get though is why they seem to refuse to have a better market in which they would still be in control of prices. For example, you can sell your chips back to a casino if you no longer feel like playing, the house doesn't care because they already made money off you. The same logic applies here, even if players get bored of skins and want to trade them out, Riot can simply give back like 25% of the original value. This means players still need to buy a few skins before they get any real value out of selling them back to Riot.

but riot is greedy so I doubt they'll ever do it

I have a strong feeling that someone very high up in Riot is preventing the store from being any other way. No reasonable developer would support this store model.

Yeah they gotta let everyone be able to buy them. League even does it but still no Val

the way riot sees it I think is lets say you wait for the gaias vengance vandal (been waiting since last year december lol) and it isn't coming into your shop appearantly you are more likely to buy other skins so riot is making more? money this way actually they aint but whatever thats what they think atleast
