Meteorite themed accent metal and a space like effect similar to avalanche where it moves slightly.
I'm so glad you noticed that Avalanche moves! Not a lot of people notice! :(
If I were to give a full rundown, then:
Classic - Ferret, because it's small and doesn't make much impact at all. Sometimes even cute!
Shorty - Bull, to imitate the two nostrils exhaling sharply that we all know of. If you don't like being in front of a bull to know what that exhale feels like, then you also don't want the same thing with a shorty!
Stinger - Bees. Lots of beeeeees. Mostly because the pun with the name.
Phantom - Fox. Swift and silent, but still pretty deadly.
Vandal - Wolf. Loud, powerful, isn't afraid to get in your face to take a bite out of it.
Ares - Cheetah. This one can be the big purring feline one. Also, quite deadly because of its speed (of rounds shot).
Odin - Elephant. Loud and chonky. And just like an elephant, you don't want to see one running in your direction.
Operator - Eagle. Both have greatly enhanced sight, and both are very fast and very lethal. And just like an eagle's cry, everyone can listen to the shot of an OP.
lol I love this! Ok, how about the Frenzy? Or the Melee????
I LOVE ICE THEMED THINGS and I noticed immediately absolutely had to pick it up for my phantom! Loving the skins so far btw! The art direction of this game is fantastic imo! Animated skins are awesome, keep up the great work!
Thank you! :') <--- happy tears
I'll tell the artist who worked on Avalanche. He's been beating himself up thinking he never quite got it right (he's really talented, so nothing he does is is every perfect enough for him!).
Ooh, maybe an elephant then. They are really loud and bulky just like the Odin!
Oh man an elephant! I love elephants! :D
Fantastical for sure, for more sci-fi stuff I’d want an Astro line which could either look like the Astronautilus theme with space rock colors or Space Invader Heimer with more green
Nice nice. Thanks for sharing :)
Angel devil for sure, would be dope
Lots of you seem to like the angel/devil idea. What do you like about it?
The shorty could be bull themed. You know how they sharply exhale through their two nostrils? That's kinda similar to the shorty 😛
As for the Odin... Probably a big feline, like a cheetah or clouded leopard. When the Odin shoots, it reminds me of a cat's purr.
Edit: Operator would be an eagle because their eyesight is comparable to the double scope we have on the gun.
^ this guy has ideas.
I was thinking the Odin is like a rhino. Or some really loud animal. I swear it makes my ears ring when I'm spectating someone who's unloading it.
Question- can you make gun buddies not clip into weapons when they move ? Idk by either extending the thing they're attached to so they don't hit the weapon at all or by adding actual physics to the weapons and gun buddies i.e when the gun buddy touches the weapon, it hits it and stops there, not clip through it. Animation for that needs some work, but I doubt it'll be too much of a problem. It's 2020 after all.
That is, if you intend to make gun buddies a buyable thing in the future along with skins, you shouldn't make visual compromises like that when you want us to buy because of the visuals in the first place.
This is something we're in the process of fixing! Lots of buddy clipping issues right now. :/
Tell them u/oniram177 :D
Not the other dude but what would be important is the weapons feeling very fluid. Think the new legendary Cosmic lux skin, it’s like flowing water.
Then once it feels super smooth, add a ton of pew pew and star dust.
That's cool! Would it feel more scifi-y or more fantastical for you?
Dude Cosmic is one of my favorite skinlines in LoL and I feel that Cosmic guns would be so fucking sick
Oh nice! What would you want to see in a skin like this?
Animal themed skins are amazing, and have no limits. You can have a wolf Vandal, a fox Phantom, a ferret Classic, etc. Basically matching characteristics of each weapon with an animal stereotype.
lol this is fun. What would the Odin be? Or the Shorty?
I particularly like that it's a bit flashy and looks a little more modern. I'm not much of a fan of those fantasy-themed skins like the Reaver line. For reference, my favorite skins in CSGO are the Asiimov ones.
I also like Omen's Ghost because of the cloth wrapped around handle and silencer, though the texture of the lightning seems a little low res.
Unfortunately, both of those take ages to unlock, so I don't have either of them yet.
Those are my two favorite agent skins too!
Graffiti, I love the Raze Classic and want more like it.
Nice! What do you like best about Raze's Classic? Are there other agent gun skins you like too?
I’ll also accept a cypher skin where he wears Teemos hat and his trip wires are little mushrooms
LOL! That would make his traps even more annoying. D:
Make star guardian omen
Help! Can't unsee.
the one at the top next to the green dot reads "Mecha" - a mixture of my poor handwriting and the low quality image :P
He's trolling. Don't listen to him.
What are you seeing that looks anything like Balenciaga? I don't see anything that looks anything like that
Not gonna lie but I was also wondering where people were seeing this Balenciaga sticky note. I couldn't see it on the board and I didn't remember it being there.

Not confirming or denying that any of these are happening (or if you're decoding the scribble text on those stickies correctly :D), but which of those ideas is most exciting to you?
I just posted the same thing. It really is barely visible :D im sad :(
We are doing a pass on all the buddy locations! Not intended that it doesn't show up as clearly. Sorry about that! :(
