Hey guys. This is actually because a support ticket reply told us to make our voice heard through the official subreddit - so I hope this doesn't get deleted by the mods.

Since Launch, players from Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal and India (South Asian Countries) have to purchase Valorant points in Euro which is quite expensive compared to countries like, Malaysia and the Philippines (Southeast Asian Countries) who have their pricing cut in almost half and with their own currencies. If we compare the per capita of these countries with Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh, it's very low and players from South Asian Countries have to pay almost 2x the amount for 1000 VP than Southeast Asian Countries do. What we are asking for, is to give us regional pricing for Valorant as Steam has done with their store because the prices are way too high for us here.

For example: If you live in Malaysia you can get 1250 VP for MYR 39.90 (Euro 8.09) and if you're living in Sri Lanka you need to pay 11 Euros for 1000VP. We actually get the Euro pricing here in Sri Lanka, India and most countries.

Since we love Valorant and is one of those games that is very popular in South Asian Countries and is constantly growing, we have no choice but to pay twice the amount for a skin we want. A reply we got to a support ticket from RIOT was that they wanted to us make a voice in the subreddit so that they can implement the changes based on the number of people who want this change to happen. So we hope you can hear us and come with a solution because from what I've seen so far - Riot actually listens to their community.
