for real, barely ever get any new content like 1 map every 2 years and 2 agents a year, only one gun added since the game went into open beta, and even on top of that skins are worse and worse but cost more and more money while riot lays off half their employees? valorant is barely even a game anymore its exclusively just a vessel to make money for riots shareholders at the expense of players.i used to be so dedicated to this game i even made cosplays for it but now theyre all just gonna sit in a box in my closet for the rest of time because riot has sapped all of my passion for this game just so they could make a few extra bucks

My opinions on skins rn Buying 8700VP bundle(s) SHOULD give the player FREE 90 radianite points. This allows the player to fully upgrade 2 gun(s) + 1 variant of choice so the player can use 2 of their favorite gun/ knife immediately. This also encourages people to buy the bundles more rather than individual skins. Player should be able to add unbought skins to favorite category and have a slightly higher chance of them appearing in the daily shop. The EX.O bundle being changed to give back bundle is VERY greedy imo. The EX.O bundle sales aren't that great and they wanted to boost it by doing this give back. If they really wanted to do so they can host their own charity/ donation to the LA wildfire without having the players to buy the bundle first. This is just my opinion.

but riot have also stated that those money comes from tournaments not skin , skin sales aren't their primary source of income , in a 2022 dev tweet(which they took down later) they said that the amount of people who actually buys skins are very little ( we see many people whining about skin prices but most of em aren't gonna buy skins anyways) so they intended skins to be premium items for a certain number of playerbase and it's not supposed to be affordable , it's not supposed to be in everyone's inventory , that's how riot sees skins , which is completely different from consumer pov .

@@Caspian_Xx this is extremely doubtfull information. skins are too ubiquitous in game for them to be any kind of rare item or low income source. Pracitcally every single match of ranked valorant you play will have at least one of the big bundle skins present while - at least from me and my friends in EU / NA - even seeing a player with all default guns is fairly uncommon. In CS everyone has a skin because if you played for a couple hours, you probably got a skin of some sort for every gun, but thats not the case in valo. Everyone who has some form of skin on their weapon has to have spent some amount of money.

Thanks bro you are the only one of the few youtuber and streamer who is raising the voice on this serious issue on Riots high prices on cosmetic items. I really appreciate it man I myself have thought on many skin bundles or skins which are not that good but are still priced so high without any reason and riot is not lowering its bundle prices but only increasing it and that's so too because some people themselves says riot need income from these skins to support developers which is worst statement(used as an excuse) going on right now.

@@agentqbe8417I get that, but still wanting to buy skins but not wanting to support this behavior from riot is another complex issue. Because other people WILL buy these bundles anyway regardless of the price so riot will never drop them. Some people want to buy skins but just don’t want to buy them at this price.

My account was hacked for the second time, and despite providing all the proof I could to Riot's support team, they’ve outright refused to return it to me. Instead of offering a solution, Riot Support repeatedly closes my tickets, claiming it’s “to protect other players from being hacked.” If player security is truly the priority, why not improve your account security systems? Other companies, like Rockstar Games, have implemented robust measures to protect their players-why can’t Riot do the same? I’ve invested both my time and hard-earned money into this account. As a student, the amount I’ve spent might seem small to Riot, but it’s a lot for me. It feels like Riot doesn’t value its loyal players once they’ve made their purchases. What makes this even more frustrating is that Riot continues to roll out new skins every few weeks, and players buy them without realizing this kind of thing can happen to them. Is this how you treat your community? Permanently lock accounts without fair resolution?

It’s the same thing as league right now. Riot is pushing how much they can charge their skins to see just how far they can push it before profits drop. Once they do however, they’ll say “We’re gonna reduce the prices” to not only maintain profits but to seem like they’re the good guys for providing a solution to a problem they created

Valorant is an expensive game, not only for other countries but also in terms of dollars, it is many times more expensive than most games. The graphics are terrible, the maps are very bad. The game is full of bugs and cheats. The battle pass is the most empty and unusable battle pass you can see in the game world, and it is also very expensive for its content. They should give at least 1 skin with effects in BP. There is no event in the game and all the characters are like copies of each other, their abilities are incredibly similar. There is no map or agent ban in the game despite Riot's promises. Also, its interface is very bad. They bring a new big update every 3 months and this update brings either a new agent or a new map. Sometimes they are so lazy that they don't bring anything if they want. It is just a new and empty weapon collection for you to spend your money. There are almost no different game modes in it because they are all terrible and except for one game mode, you play on the same maps in other game modes, which are very small, there is not even a hint of lore in them, so there is no detail. Like community maps that can be made in 1-2 weeks. Ranked and matchmaking systems are very bad, content such as personalization and customization are almost non-existent. Just like Valve has been doing lately, they seem to be trying to kill their own game, like Bllizard, they don't care about what their players say. This company has taken the bad sides of both companies. There are no customization systems like in other games. For example, a screen showing the best moment at the end of the match, character skins, emotes, etc. have not come and probably will not come until the game starts to die. If Riot promises its players small and easy-to-make updates such as replay system, shop system, map agent ban systems and doesn't do it after 4 YEARS, who would play this game, right? But the audience of this game is so addicted that they don't stop playing. I think the reason for this is that Riot has achieved great success in the field of e-sports. That's the only area they are good at. In short, Valorant seems to have quickly earned itself a place in history as the most overrated FPS game of all time.
