Usually, a new Valorant<\/a> skin collection has fans of Riot’s tactical shooter reaching for their wallets with each line boasting an original look and a level of detail that makes them true works of art (see: GO! Vol. 1<\/a> or Glitchpop!<\/a> or Elderflame<\/a>), and worthy of the, admittedly hefty, price tags.<\/p>\n

That wasn’t the case though with the latest reveal with the Minima skin collection<\/a>, which is not yet available but has been shown off and discussed by the members of Valorant’s art team in a video posted to YouTuber aSmoogl’s channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s a minimalism-inspired skin collection that features clean lines with just two colours, a black-grey matte metal and restrained yellow accents. It’s a collection the team are very aware has the ability to divide, confessing that while some will love it, others will suggest “it’s nothing”.<\/p>\n

And divide it has, in a first for a Valorant skin collection its created a bit of a stir on social media, with a number of the game’s biggest names calling it out in good humour.<\/p>\n

One person who wasn’t a fan was Sentinels’ stand-in Tyson “TenZ” Ngo, a player who probably sleeps with an Operator by his bedside, claiming that if he saw it on the ground he wouldn’t be “picking it up”.<\/p>\n

Another critic was Team Liquid content creator, Jonas “Average Jonas” Navarsete who took a jibe at their collections name, claiming that Minima is in reference to the minimal number of people who are likely to buy it.<\/p>\n

It wasn’t without its defenders though, TSM’s Ali “Myth” Kabbani vowed to “defend this skin pack” till he dies, claiming it’s the best “by far”.<\/p>\n

Riot has never been afraid to experiment with their cosmetics and with Valorant’s range of skins ever expanding it’s no surprise to see them going in new and controversial directions.<\/p>\n

Players can now have their weapons look like they have come from some heavenly plane of existence, a Neo-Tokyo cityscape<\/a>, and the battlefields of WW2<\/a> and you have to wonder what could come next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
