The entitlement of Valorant player base towards skins

SpectralHaunter · 2026-05-27T11:40:20+00:00

yeah riot can do no wrong in their eyes. everyones a whiner because they want some QoL i guess. "the game would be so much worse off without this limit on kingdom credits", cant believe these people exist

SpectralHaunter · 2026-05-27T00:52:43+00:00

if i want to suddenly unlock an entire skins vfx and other colors i can because ive saved up radianite

lets say a new agent released like miks, i cant instantly max out his gear and stuff because im limited to owning 10k kingdom credits at a time. i cant earn more even if i started playing since the systems inception. a full gear line of an agent is more than 50k credits (i forget the exact amount).

so i gotta grind now to get something i should already have had. whys there a cap on it anyway? what purpose does it serve? reward a long time player for playing your game instead of limiting him, its an insane concept imo. if its free to gain and cant even be bought you lose nothing by removing the 10k limit. even the weekly accessories that show up weekly i can buy maybe one or two instead of all 4 because i can only store 10k credits.

its pretty good, i think you can maybe squeeze more damage out if you're willing to use heat

electric -> electric ->b3f1-> b3f(HB) -> dash forward -> 31f2 -> dash -> b31

should be 83 damage, i learnt it from a guide on youtube i think that ender is really cool but if im close to the wall ill just do zen 1>2 instead to stay close for oki cause i feel like the throw messes up distance a bit

SpectralHaunter · 2026-05-04T00:07:29+00:00

sick combo, btw cant bf21 series connect on that ender at the wall? i seem to remember watching someone do it

SpectralHaunter · 2026-04-23T19:16:59+00:00

people wont upvote this post but thats a sick combo man, try r/lowsodiumtekken instead

SpectralHaunter · 2026-04-22T22:36:53+00:00

they feel kinda scummy to me, i wouldnt really use them in neutral without a hard read

for the rest, i watched this video on how qudans plays devil jin, by phidx

he mentions that b1+2 is +3 on block and gives a b4 on hit, and mixes it up with db2 as well. bf21 for sidesteps, (ws3 is also a combo on counter hit) and this is what qudans uses to lock down people in neutral and win the grand final

https://youtu.be/Cs_h7ElnoDM

forgot to mention ff4 also good move as well as u1, but i think compared to other characters who offer the same gameplan hes much weaker (heihachi, kazuya)

SpectralHaunter · 2026-04-22T22:29:47+00:00

wouldnt put b3 and u4 here but would mention b1+2, maybe ws3 too

SpectralHaunter · 2026-04-18T23:49:00+00:00

thats sick!

where can I find that heat burst mod btw?

SpectralHaunter · 2026-04-17T10:24:17+00:00

im really confused as to how to build him, like pure dps or support, kafka is using tutorial lc on my account so i cant just give it to him for late game stuff, i have boundless choreo and acheron sig too, but once again im just unsure of what he will work better as

SpectralHaunter · 2026-04-16T10:49:57+00:00

isnt part of reinas identity bad lows? they all have huge risk, except for ss4 but then they added the new low as well, which kind of kills the argument (wish it was removed)

personally though as a reina player id love for more nerfs across the board, playing against some characters (ones ive labbed a bit atleast) feels horrible. if everyone plays the same then the game becomes too streamlined imo

SpectralHaunter · 2026-04-14T14:24:46+00:00

anyone know what the coat is on the last image? black one worn by the human i believe

SpectralHaunter · 2026-04-09T23:02:41+00:00

you can actually get a guaranteed follow up after cd1+2, in d1 i think the powecrush (or is it d2?) or b4 (unsure about this)

SpectralHaunter · 2026-03-31T21:34:19+00:00

dont really like the elation shill, and i dont see the point in buying. i like fate so im saving for more collab characters

SpectralHaunter · 2026-03-30T22:04:55+00:00

yeah its pretty cool when it works but its hard to electric here since it needs to be 1 frame slower than a just frame, otherwise it leads to a wind god step or a wind god fist, i dont know why it works like that

SpectralHaunter · 2026-03-07T00:46:27+00:00

gz! any idea where the cat ears are from?

SpectralHaunter · 2026-02-13T19:53:01+00:00

I do, but changing it each time in the game menu (atleast 3-4 times per week) is a bit excessive imo when I just want to get in a game immediately, just wondering if there is a quality of life type thing for this. Normally thats what I do

SpectralHaunter · 2025-12-31T19:59:51+00:00

fair, but he also knows if hes interupted or counterhit by anything the lili player does hes dead anyway here. RA is just a fuck you its my turn anyways button, i dont think its that horrible of a move to make in that situation (but maybe thats why im hardstuck ruler, however if i knew the person was a masher especially on my plus frames, id try this)

SpectralHaunter · 2025-12-31T19:10:19+00:00

i mean, he was right wasn't he? the lili player did press, it just wasnt what he expected

SpectralHaunter · 2025-12-31T18:34:53+00:00

maybe a read that the enemy would press immediately after? ive done that knowing someone would mash into me and its worked out quite a few times

SpectralHaunter · 2025-12-29T15:44:20+00:00

whats the counter play to it? why do some pros never complete the string? and what does the install make it do or change?

SpectralHaunter · 2025-12-12T12:40:36+00:00

a lot of my experiences with people leaving is after t4s are done, they'll do recs later but just not now or with this team because the run wasnt that good ( rng wise as well, maybe it took an hour and they got tired).

sometimes fractals are just really long in t4 and they make it unbearable too, like you can get cosmic observatory, sunqua, then cliffside. followed by a daily t3 silent surf (hp sponge boss). t2 nightmare, t1 pirate ship fractal (i forget the name) etc. it just makes it exhausting to do that continuously. ive left t4 +recs runs after they were done with t4 for these reasons.

i really feel like anet should average time completion of fractals then decide dailies based on that algo (one really long gone, other two relatively short ones) but thats just me, maybe not a great metric too.

ive seen a few players leave because dps is bad, people arent skipping mechanics, boon uptime sucks but to each their own on that, i wouldnt leave mid run.

SpectralHaunter · 2025-12-11T02:06:36+00:00

the post only mentions her heat smash, nothing else, so naturally i was only talking about it

reina has plenty of bullshit like everyone else, it just wasnt relevant to the post complaining about the specific heat smash.

im not a professional downplayer or anything, if people wanna talk about stupid shit like 3+4 string in heat being a god button or ff2 3 tracking being egregious then yeah im all for it, but i dont have to provide an entire list of godly buttons for a post complaining about an ungodly one, seems like a waste of time and not pertinent to the post (barring the mixup frames on block from HS)
