So today is my birthday and I am turning way too old. (btw I've been on VALORANT for almost 3 years). I wanted to do something fun so however many likes this gets in 24 hours is the amount of money this next skin line will cost and I'm not joking.
so you’re telling me I can charge $8/mo for VALORANT Blue, give all the subscribers a Radiant badge, and put the onus on players to click that badge to verify if it’s a real Radiant or a paid Radiant????
back in LA! also can we get some love to
@tarik
for being an absolute boss this weekend. costreaming while losing his voice, helping out everyone with his Turkish, and even ordering / paying for cabs for ppl to get back safe.
Teşekkürler!

1. Tease an upcoming skin line
2. Get a tattoo that says "Act Rank is temporary, but gun skins are forever"

had a dream of fixing League's gemstones system with an idea called purple essence.
To all aspiring Product Managers out there, know that you can push your own ideas through... as long as you outlast everyone else on the original team.
We've heard your feedback about the Rotating Store so we've added logic to it so that it will show you 4 skins for guns you never use so that you don't feel tempted to buy stuff.

none taken but i have additional thoughts :)
1. This is a SE skin at our lowest price point. This should mean that these skins are the least desirable. However, our skins team REFUSES to make low quality skins. Show me another game where their cheapest content is as cool as this.
No disrespect to Riot and the design team, but I think I speak for everyone that if a bundle doesn’t come with alternate color ways and special effects, the bundle is already chalked. So much potential with this one, too.
all the progression changes in depth!

my little guy turned 1 this past weekend!
while he did not choose the mouse for pro gamer or mechanical keyboard for techie, he did choose the Rockets basketball hinting at his future in the NBA??

it's my first day back at work after my extended winter break and we're releasing our best skin of 2023!!
you can buy this one and save all your VP till 2024!
There's always a lot of discussion around VALORANT's rotating shop but we made a key strategy change close to a year ago when we released Sakura in the rotating store for the first time. certain players loved the aesthetic and were RABID to acquire it (Exhibit 1: my DM's)

If you've been blessed enough to be on the enemy team in my ranked games recently, I've been spreading the gift of free ELO.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
i boomed myself. i didn't buy the Araxys Vandal when it released because i knew the Oni Vandal was coming out two months later..
but the more i play, the more i realize that the Araxys sound is just soooooo good. and it finally appeared in my rotating store 6 months later!
Super excited that we're finally able to start releasing our real skins!!

also enjoy footage from Anton's first playtest of his skins where he 1v3 clutch'd but was too hyped and forgot to look at his finisher 😂🤣
can't believe i've been at

for 5 years! super grateful for the chance to work on games and especially one that i'm always excited to hop on and frag on even after a long long day of work

welcome Jackson Levi Lee to the fam and 3/5 of my VAL and basketball roster is complete!
met the legend
@shroud
himself and told him to his face that we use him as the main example for making niche skins that the community hates but certain players LOVE (i.e. Wasteland and Minima)
2. Players have widely varying tastes. While it's true that the majority of the player base prefers evolving skins, not ALL players feel this way. Whether they are a CS purist or a minimalist, there's a subset of the player base that just wants clean skins without extras.

this week! it's been a sobering time to be reminded that we can and should do better in the games industry and we have so much further to go...
i do want to call out the amazing people who I've learned so much from in my time here:
TFT mobile was so perfect during vacation that I now measure time by it:
- Waiting for the sleeping pill to kick in: 1 game
- Get back to my hotel via metro from Shibuya: 1 game
- Jacob’s nap: 1.5 games or 2 fast 8ths
- Train to Chiba: 2 games
- Bullet train to Osaka: 6 games
We finally pushed the change to only show unowned skins in the OFFERS section of your store. Let us know if you notice owned skins still appearing on a refresh. (also let me know if you ever reach the end game😉)
3. While I'd love for every skin to be evolving, it's a huge undertaking to concept, animate, FX, and iterate on these skin lines. Balancing our release schedule with non-evolving skins, allows us to spend extra love on the next evolving skin line and make it super special!
