    The biggest scam is the radianite points to upgrade your guns. Those points are usually the only reason people buy the battlepass.

    I've spent around $600 on Val skins, the one thing that made me stop purchasing was when my Val points happened to hit precisely 0. I haven't liked a skin enough to ruin the satisfaction of 0 points and I already have enough skins anyway

  • @HarshSharma-tw4rf
    @HarshSharma-tw4rf 6 месяцев назад +7

    You didn't mention two important things:
    1. The default skins in Val are the most basic ass matte black skins known to mankind, fucking csgo defaults are more interesting. But, unlike csgo, they look out of place in an otherwise colouful world and characters. This compels people into "needing" to buy skins. And if you are gonna buy skins anyway why not buy that really cool flashy skin that your fav pro uses. This is the only time you'll spend money, (...right?)
    2. Because the Val skins are soo overpriced and never on discount, they also become a sort of status symbol ingame. (Closest analogy would be people buying Apple products for the "brand") and when people ask for those skins in game, it gives them validation.

    • @TheEmilarOMG
      @TheEmilarOMG 6 месяцев назад

      I disagree , the base skins models are more unique and interesting than csgo. I think most people buy skins because they get bored of default. That also applies in csgo, also because people think they give aimbot. I buy skins because i enjoy the game more with skins and also because i want a certain color theme, i do the same in csgo. I find it annoying when people beg me to drop my skins. Skins are expensive but its a free 2 play and no one is forced to buy skins, you can also get bp with many skins for barely anything.

    Exactly. Something that helps is being self-conscious of your spendings.
    Being patient and have a discreet list of which skins you want the most, helps you in the long run. It will save both your sanity and wallet..

    Back in the day you could simply download any Counter Strike skin or bundle you wanted. You could swap out the player models too. Sprays could be custom as well, people would spray hardcore p 0r n, it was the Wild West early 2000s.

  • @Assguardian2004
    @Assguardian2004 6 месяцев назад +8

    I think part of the problem is that a lot of Valorant's player base come from CS. And with CS being it's direct competitor, and how their skins are priced, it helps with the mindset of thinking "Oh, this Valorant bundle isn't that much, i mean have you seen that one CS knife?".
    That makes it SEEM like Valorant skins doesn't cost that much, but people often forget to realize that:
    1. CS skins are tradable/sellable
    2. Most games do not sell skins for that much lol.

      A shame eu wolfteam died. Now the only option is to play the turkish or latino version. For that reason I play only cs and valo, which feels like an insane downgrade cause u cant carry solo as much as in wt where u could easily make 3/4k each round, even if u would play 5v5 res mode. RIP 😞

    another reason why they don't put good skins in the battlepass is cuz otherwise, it's two birds with one stone. lemme explain. valorant skins are ass without radianite cuz that's what make them go blub blub or whatever the fuck the sounds effects are. that's the main reason why people grind the battlepass. often, you need to buy the battlepass in order to actually afford skins, since ur good skins will be basically regular ass skins that don't shoot lasers. that's how people are tricked into buying things since they think to themselves about how buying the battlepass is worth it since you can get the radianite you need PLUS free skins. the tradeoff is that you have to grind the game. This is also enforced cuz of how FUCKING EXPENSIVE RADIANITE IS.

      Not funny I didn't laugh. Your joke is so bad I would have preferred the joke went over my head and you gave up re-telling me the joke. To be honest this is a horrid attempt at trying to get a laugh out of me. Not a chuckle, not a hehe, not even a subtle burst of air out of my esophagus. Science says before you laugh your brain preps your face muscles but I didn't even feel the slightest twitch. 0/10 this joke is so bad I cannot believe anyone legally allowed you to be creative at all. The amount of brain power you must have put into that joke has the potential to power every house on Earth. Get a personality and learn how to make jokes, read a book. I'm not saying this to be funny I genuinely mean it on how this is just bottom barrel embarrassment at comedy. You've single handedly killed humor and every comedic act on the planet. I'm so disappointed that society has failed as a whole in being able to teach you how to be funny. Honestly if I put in all my power and time to try and make your joke funny it would require Einstein himself to build a device to strap me into so I can be connected to the energy of a billion stars to do it, and even then all that joke would get from people is a subtle scuff. You're lucky I still have the slightest of empathy for you after telling that joke otherwise I would have committed every war crime in the book just to prevent you from attempting any humor ever again. We should put that joke in text books so future generations can be wary of becoming such an absolute comedic failure. Im disappointed, hurt, and outright offended that my precious time has been wasted in my brain understanding that joke. In the time that took I was planning on helping kids who have been orphaned, but because of that you've waisted my time explaining the obscene integrity of your terrible attempt at comedy. Now those kids are suffering without meals and there's nobody to blame but you.
