I don't know how they manage to do it but time and time again I feel like Riot has not failed to disappoint when it comes to skins. I have alot of complaints so im just gonna list them:
- Ion bundle was a let down. I love the kill effects, love the design, the gun choices. Almost everything is perfect but the variants are rather questionable colours and patterns, especially the green one. Not to mention that majority of people wanted a red and black variant.
- Theres new knives being added in like the Hammer and the Scythe but why for gods sake does it still have the default axe pullout animation? It just feels basic and like a waste of opportunity considering that there could have been something fresh done with the new melee types, like what was done with the artisan foil.
- The Scythe doesnt even look like a Scythe, its a Sickle. Its a farming tool. Scythes are more often than not, much longer and should be a two handed, long melee much like the Prelude to chaos knife.
- I know this isnt recent but another bundle I was questioning was the xenohunter. The knife was awesome only because of the animation, until you realise that the attack animation for it was the default back in beta. And now we are stuck with the current goofy looking default knife animation. We were made to pay for what we had for free back in beta. Not mention that the upgraded version the skinline's guns are literal pay to lose. If you dont know already, upgrading adds a radar to the side of your gun which is cool and all, but it is very obstructive and 100% will impact your gameplay negatively.
- Missing skins from beta still arent back in the game. Alot of people want them back, I don't know why they havent been put back in, some of them look great (Ronin bundle in particular) and are definetly better than some bundles being released atm.
Its disappointing seeing so many standalone graphic designers like Thyros and Vegod make amazing skins from scratch, and then Valorant with their team of designers releasing stuff like the Crimsonbeast. The price they charge for this low effort garbage is insane.

After a year I wanted to share the perspectives of a player who's been here from the start. I want to discuss history, community, and gameplay.
This is going to be a fairly long one so I'll break it into three distinct sections you can pick and choose from each with their own tl;dr for your convenience.
The first topic will be gameplay and how things have changed since the early...

now that Ascendant has been a rank for quite a while what are the demographics here?
i just want to see if rank demographics are evenly spaced out at all or are still distributed as they were previously
