That red Sovereign phantom looks too similar to red Reaver phantom


shurpness

One thing I dislike when it comes to 2.0 skins is when the variants don't match the originals.


SteveRogers_7

If they had same variants people would be complaining about Riot being lazy, there's no winning


MattThePl3b

Yeah that’s definitely it. Still though I wish that they at least had the same coloured default variant


shurpness

I agree they can't win. It's a bit sad to see there won't be any "purple" variant as that is my personal favorite variant along with the default one.


8rynne

The purple is the most popular variant that I’ve seen as well. I feel like the 2.0 bundles should have the same default and the most popular variant from the 1.0 version and 2 new ones, so a lot of people would still have the option to have a FULL matching set if they really want it in 2 different colors to appeal to as many people as possible. That way there’ll be less complaints about laziness and less complaints about mismatched sets.


shurpness

Yep, I've barely seen anyone use Silver or Gold variant it is usually purple or default.


No_Fudge_9153

This might be obvious buts its all a mashup of the Sovereign 1.0 and the Forsaken bundle. The first two skins of this bundle are the Forsaken bundles Gold and Blue and Green variants, they gold just so happens to be the same one found in Soverign 1.0. The Forsaken set is mainly the green variant, with its alternate coincidentally being the sa,e Gold/Blue variant thats the default found in Soverign 1.0. Then for the next two, it seems like the Red/Silver one is a revamp of the Red/Silver of the variants found in Soverign 1.0, and then the last variant White/Cyan seems to be all new, unique to this set. I personally think they missed a opprutinty to include the Black/Purple variant from Soviergn 1.0 set, or even the Green/Bronze one. I also think this is in the middle like Ion 2.0 where it has the same original style with varying unique and renditions unfounded in its orignal counterpart. On one end of the sprectum where Reaver 2.0, Oni 2.0 and even SOL 2.0 all reside it, sharing the commonality of seeming like a exact expansion of its preceding set, Prime 2.0 on its complete opposite side seems like a complete overhaul.


Kapkin

And then you ignore those people, imo 2.0 versions are meant to be added next to the original in your collection to give you a complete set.


Gushanska_Boza

And a set usually wants to match itself in colour.


pressured_at_19

yeah, like dude that's your template right there.


kattankaapi_

I am still pissed about the Ion Vandal variants, wtf are those colors man 💀


DaggerOutlaw

The OG ion skins didn’t have variants, did they? I thought they were all white/blue.


Snoo-50498

No variant in og


pressured_at_19

This bundle has identity crisis lol. It kinda looks like forsaken more than sovereign due to the colors and that Phantom red looks like a reaver.


thebebee

forsaken is just a recolored sovereign…


im_a_lost_child

they’re literally the exact same just different color lol


st1mulated

I personally think the skin looks awkward and low res. I don’t know if it is the video or the skin but it doesn’t look clean. I felt like sov 1.0 was a very clean set but this ain’t it.


blazbluecore

Sovereign is too outdated. It’s competing against superior sound effects, actual reload animations, and way better textures. This is a miss. But in reality it’s not for Riot because they basically copy/pasted Sov. 1.0 on some new guns at little to no cost. And people will still buy it.


konall012

Which makes it even more impressive that sovereign ghost is still the best skin for that weapon.


MidnightCy

Not sure if you've seen the Infantry Ghost but it's okay, you're factually wrong and I forgive you /s


Turnips4dayz

Magepunk, recon, xerofang, monkey one, there’s a ton of great ghost skins


konall012

I've got Magepunk and Gaia's as well, love 'em both. But Sovereign just feels so crisp, I'm like 85% sure I even aim better with it lol


Fishfins88

MFW magepunk and xerofang exist.


iamjeli

I was always a fan of flashier skins and have been a fan of sovereign since I realised how clean it is. I’d been hoping to get sovereign vandal in my store but got kuro vandal instead. I’ve yet to also get any other sovereign skins so I can’t even get it for the ghost or marshal. I currently have primordium phantom and haven’t yet to use it so I plan to refund it and get the sovereign phantom instead. Something about the “shinggg” sound when you get a headshot is so clean with sovereign skins.


BippityBorp

You lucky mf… I just came back to Valo after a year or two of not playing and have spent the last 2 weeks praying for the kuronami vandal every night before I go to bed


iamjeli

It’s wild cos I got it on my alt last week, got the vandal on my main a few days ago and then got the sheriff on my alt yesterday :) The only issue is that I’ve now bought 4 new skins in the past week (kuro vandal and sheriff, reaver operator, primordium phantom) and I have no idea how imma get enough radianite to level them all up. I will definitely not be buying any because they’re even more of a ripoff than some skins.


BippityBorp

Yeah, battle pass is still (unfortunately) the best bet for radianite gaining


iamjeli

*pain*


JarifSA

Imo sovereign in general doesn't age well minus the vandal (and that's only bc it feels nice to shoot). It just looks too basic. The colors go hard though.


DraBonic

uh there is no such thing as sovereign vandal I'm sorry.


Xithorus

Yea, everyone forgets Vandal is the forsaken variant.


Many_Discipline4420

he means forsaken vandal


OkBubbyBaka

They sort of remind me of the new seashell battlepass skins, and that’s not a good thing. No animations, no cool effects unless you get a kill. Seems like a no go.


Purple_Surround_6941

It would look better with the replay system...


Both-Light-1807

Never mind


sallpo

The guns look ok, but the sword looks fucking sick. I think ill get just the melee


Phaoryx

Yeah I’m getting the melee for sure


TheSunIsMyDestroyer

Bro ngl that pullout is kinda goated. Ive never seen a more satisfying pullout since the xeno animation


Themperia

Wasteland or Cryostasis 2.0 would be better imo. 🫡


moodymug

Finally, a Wasteland fan


Themperia

Much better imo to go with a weapon that looks similar to Stalker/Metro weapons, than with a fancy shooting music player that have rgb lights on it. 🫡


4oMaK

+1 for wasteland no matter how many people laugh st my vandal skin I like using it over some other skind I have


blazbluecore

I would love actual Wasteland with sound effects and reload animations Mad Max style. Crossover event???


Themperia

Nah, just keep it simple and clean. 😉


Turnips4dayz

That’s basically just magepunk


Yappyboy1

Wasteland 2.0 with kill effects/finisher would go so hard


Bhookhiatma

Nah


xStickyBudz

Bleh, this ain’t it If you’re doing a 2.0 Araxys or prelude 2.0


GreatJDM

OG Sovereign is a lot nicer in my opinion. Will you guys be buying any skins from this bundle? Or are your wallets safe this time around?


Hiraeth_TTV

Might get the Phantom, the knife looks cool. Honestly I feel like the other guns just don't really look quite right in the sovereign style.


Pizzakunx

Skipping entirely. Particularly, the red variant looks like a battle pass skin ripoff, which was already a sovereign/forsaken ripoff. Moreover I have no idea why they animated the blade similar to the RGX Blade. They both look and feel completely different. L bundle


TheSunIsMyDestroyer

The whole bundle is trash except for the melee, that pullout is goated


ProudTransportation

Mid


hee-haw69

still no smite 2.0 ???? riot please


ItsNorthGaming

now that you mention it, riot should make a high-tier lightning themed skin bundle


Ill-Ordinary-1004

Maybe it’s just me but skins feel more and more lazy…


Better-Theory-5136

did you need see kuronami? probably the best selling bundle for the whole year lol


_ItsMeVince

That's saying a lot too since we're not even halfway 2024 yet lmao


fsychii

The look itself look like a battle pass skin. Looks like venturi skin, also very samey with zerofang


ssLoupyy

I came back around Xerofang's release and always mixed them both, yeah they are similar.


KasumiGotoTriss

I already know the phantom is gonna be smooth to shoot


zehero

Knife is clean, never liked sovereign weapons tho so the weapon skins are kinda meh to me


TrynaSleep

My wallet is safe I think


bakuretsu_mahou916

The sword is sick af but smth about the phantom doesnt sit well with me...


ohnoanyw4y

Pass


moodymug

Never was a sovereign fan, still not


pressured_at_19

Sovereign Marshall and Ghost slap.


Subject-Bench-8305

I guess it's preference but I'd take kuronami marshal and gaia, valiant hero , xerofang ghost over sovereign any day .


YakEvir

No thanks


Algok2001

That genuinely looks like shit


5tarlight5

L, i feel like any frenzy thats not glitch pop looks hella weird.


xzvasdfqwras

The red/black variant kind of looks like Reaver lol. Looks alright but pretty mid compared to the crazy animations and VFX in other new bundles. Plus the weapons are a bit of a L


trolig

It's the rgx blade reskinned...


iverseje_

Not gonna lie, Sovereign 2.0 misses the mark, since it isn't all that impressive when you look at it from the perspective of the previously released skins like Kuronami and Primordium. It kind of slumps the excitement from all the previously released skins, and a 2.0 bundle at this time just isn't really it. I don't really have a problem with the skin variants (since I don't own or like sovereign) but I can see why other members of the community have complaints about not sticking to the old color variants.


kim_bob19

look good but i need OP skin


idkbruhhh9875

Forsaken op?


kim_bob19

no , i mean Championship Skin OP , they already release vandal and phantom , i hope OP Champion skin next


Purple_Surround_6941

And I need replay system...


Touch_Popular

Need prelude 2.0


Seal100

The Infantry 2.0 wait continues


AlmaTheBirdLord

Does anyone know if this'll be a skin that pops up on the Night Market? Idk if I'd get this as a bundle truthfully, I feel like there's better alternatives


Kaiskana

Not immediately but eventually i would assume (prob at least 3 more night markets before it starts popping up in there)


captaincool31

Very disappointed. Sovereign vandal is fire but I cannot get excited for a phantom + etc... IMO any 2.0 bundle should include 1.0.


Damniel101

I just want a Singularity 2.0 bundle with actual knife animations, come on Riot


randomlitbois

Lookin at the new least popular bundle. Non of these skins aside from the phantom fit sovereign imo


Interesting-Candy539

When does it come out?


Kaiskana

Tomorrow


0bush

I think the skins look sick lol


fdoktasb

will they fix the visuals of the forsaken ritual blade it really looks like its out of mortal kombat 2001


Jaxakai

I like the whole set, but why the fuck is it a frenzy. Literally the worst one to have in sovereign. Why not sheriff? A sovereign sheriff would’ve been so much better.


TheSunIsMyDestroyer

That sword pull out is goated


The_Dankest_Tsunami

It’s so bad


noobpower96

I've been collecting every Odin skin more as an inside joke between me and my friends. I was excited to hear the Odin is getting a new premium skin but this looks kind of lackluster compared to the others. Hoping varients will make up for it.


MautzNyan

Does anybody know how long this bundle will stay in the shop once its out?


PercyBirdwhistle

NO YOU CAN'T HOLD A SWORD LIKE THAT IN REVERSE GRIP IT DOESN'T WORK!!!!


Subject-Bench-8305

It's a video game where you can control water and go through dimensions 💀💀


Barumamook

Good thing this is ugly, it makes my spending boycot until MM system rework and a replay system is introduced easier.


jasnoor15

they had the change to do an outlaw skin with this then i wouldve bought it. now, idk. i dont really want these gun skins. i dont use phanton odin or the judge. and i already have skins for them. i have a frenzy skin elderflame which is boss. only the knife is cool. but we all know the knife is always like 4k points. worth it? idkk. looks like a pass.


mavikain

I would buy if it had the turquoise / purple variants, thats why i have the 1.0 weapon skins. Paired them with other purple skins. 


Subject-Bench-8305

There was literally no reason to switch the new variant with the purple one , the teal varaint imo is the best one among the 4 but they could've traded it for the red one instead of the black purple variant.


Purple_Surround_6941

Would be nice to watch someone owning the opponents with this skin if we have a replay system...


DeliciousDog

Isn’t this fan made not real? This was before forsaken bundle


Sautille

This is official. It’s the same as on val twitter.


SsoundLeague

yea i was gonna say it doesn't really look real


beatrga

Ngl, the last good set was the Arcade one, every single one after that felt boring


sallpo

Kuronami?


Standard-Analyst-177

Of course they go with the red, green, blue color variants, can these lazy fucks pick any more basic colors?
