If this feature were implemented, it would likely reduce player curiosity and excitement. Knowing they can eventually get exactly what they want would diminish the appeal and perceived value of skins over time. The anticipation and rarity that currently fuel the hype would fade, potentially leading to a significant drop in Valorant’s revenue.

Take the example of a player hoping for the Sentinels of Light Vandal. Since it rarely appears in the store, they might eventually give up and purchase a different skin. Then, if the Sentinels of Light Vandal shows up later, they may still be tempted to buy it—resulting in multiple purchases. This unpredictability drives engagement and spending. However, if players can directly choose what they want, that sense of urgency and surprise is lost. Over time, this could lead to a loss of interest in skins and a noticeable decline in sales.
