As a person who was born a fan of VALORANT, (I make this joke because VALORANT came out on my birthday. Not because I was born in 2020 lmao.) I have a few ideas (mainly one) for what Riot Games could do for its FPS game's one-year anniversary.

​

1. Free Cosmetics - One thing that sucks about VALORANT is the fact that all of the skins are paid. While you can get the battle pass, and skin packs, I feel like this would be a nice gift for people who have downloaded and played at least 200 games (it doesn't have to be 100) by May. That's just a random threshold that I came up with, but it would be a nice treat. It could be a free gun skin, buddy, spray, and banner, but I feel like it would make more sense to just get a free gun skin.
2. Anniversary Battle Pass - This battle pass would still have new skins in it, but the first 6-7 tiers would be of old sprays, skins, banners, and buddies that would either be voted on or chosen based on data (how many players use a certain gun skin or buddy.
3. 2 Free Characters - When you first get VALORANT, you are able to get 2 free characters after playing a certain number of games. They could add this once again, but for a certain threshold (kinda like the one listed in #1).
4. New Additions to Custom Games or an Experimental Mode - This idea stems from the additions to Escalation that are not in the base game (i.e. Snowball Molly, Big Knife). This idea would be to add a mode that would require a party for multiple people, and would be used to do fun things, such as use other characters' ults, or snowball molly your friends.

​

These are just some of the ideas I've come up with. I don't really expect anyone to see this, but I felt like it would be fun to put out there.
