Why Valorant should have Character Skins

First of all, I'm gonna debunk the shittiest argument against char skins that most people spam in this website.

"Why should Characters have Skins If i cannot see It in game 🤓"

This is the most stupid thing i've ever read, in OW2 you cannot see your character but you can also have Skins for them, and NOBODY is complaining.

  1. The Skins are meant to be show to others, and that's what you want to do, you want to flex your money and have cool designs and sound effects for your mono.

  2. This would rejuvenate this dying game and add tons of content and money for Valorant and Riot, increasing the overall quality of the game long term, imagine character Skins being added in battle pass or something like that, people would love to play It.

  3. You could totally see the difference in your own POV with gloves and other things, killjoy already have different clothes in the cinematics like sweathers that could totally be added in game.
    (Imagine Leather jacket killjoy 🤤)

  4. People that are against this are stupid, It would better the game overall and make the game interesting and fun to grind Again.

One thing DOESN'T exclude the other.

You can totally have character Skins and better gamemodes, fix bugs and a better custom options.

Wouldn't be surprised if this happens in the future especially after Flex got added and CS already has a simpler version

Did you even play OW? You could emote and see your own skin, but you can't do that on Valorant. Also, this doesn't make the game interesting and doesn't solve anything. If so, you are giving the people that loves to complain about the game more reasons to complain. "omg they are now selling character skins, instead of replay system 😭😡😡"

Yeah the only times you'd be seeing your own skin in Valorant are in the agent select screen, the one Champs 2024 Phantom emote (if you don't have it, you're SOL), and your corpse if you have corpses on. You'd only be seeing the hands holding the gun while you're alive. Maaaybe some voice lines are changed or sound different.

In Overwatch skins are very visible -- hero select, the in-game weapon, voicelines and sounds, and the million emotes and POTG highlight intros each character has.

Just change the character selection bro, you already see It on your scream and Riot in 1 day could make that happen and everyone would see your skin in the loading part of the game.

If you care so much about emotes (CS doesn't have emotes but also have Skins), I'm sure Riot is planning to add this as well, If not they wouldn't have added FLEX.

Yeah, I agree
Overwatch character models were much more detailed in game too

I think a much more practical thing would be to create and sell music kits

but in ow2 skins change model AND gunskin. so if you want ur gun to look a specific way u need a character skin. You also have emotes in ow2, where you also see ur whole skin.

The fact that you immediately follow this up with "People that are against this are stupid" is CRAZY to me

Tell me... Ain't they stupid?

They could have literally a Summer Sage skin but they are refusing to do It. If you cut the other way, you could have a Summer Brimstone, they already do that type of thing in league.

This is a competitive tactical shooter and respectfully, I don't think you quite understand that

How tf adding character skins messes up the competitive integrity of the game, you're just making things up at this point

Hourglass Omen skin where he wears what he used to wear would be cool

fix the game first before they start thinking of adding characters skins or they should actually add content to the game

This doesn't mean that the game should not bebfixed BROO.

Just add the Skins and make the overall experience better, one thing doesn't exclude the other and can totally be done at the same time.

Good idea but not good for Valorant because it'll make the game look to cartoony

The game already is cartoony, this ain't even a problem.

I would go for just 1 or 2 alt skins for each agent on specific maps. So like sage takes off the heavy cloak on breeze, a bunch of characters put on warmer stuff on icebox. Just a little bit of character and someone different to see in game.

I can literally come up with ideias:

Cowboy Cypher, because of the hat.
Jinx inspired skin for Raze.
Doctor Viper. (She having a coat and glasses)
Carnival Gekko
Casual Runner for Neon.

It has a Lot of potential without ruinning the Characters.
