Despite Valorant‘s huge popularity, the game is right now getting a lot of complaints from the community. Right now, this 5v5 FPS title is infested with toxic players, leavers, and throwers who are absolutely disrupting the gameplay experience.

Another complaint from the fans is the constant rise of bugs and glitches. Recently we have seen Clove wasn’t able to pull their ult because Cypher already pulled his one on their corpse. Now, the latest complaints are coming against a completely different aspect of the game.

Valorant Fans Want a Change in the In-Game Store

In Valorant, except for the featured bundle in the current act, you can’t choose what you want to buy. For example, one may be waiting for the Champions 2023 Vandal, but it has still never popped out. That’s why a fan has come up with an innovative idea.

Right now, the in-game store showcases two sections normally: the featured section and the 24-hour section. According to him, Riot should add a reroll feature in the in-game store of Valorant. How will it work?

With this feature, players can trade in their in-game currency, i.e., Valorant Points (VP), for which the store will be rolled out again, showing new skins every time than the previous ones. As per him, it would be highly beneficial for both Riot and fans as well. Because fans will be spending their VPs to get their favorite skin on the store, and thus the company will be making huge revenue via these VP expenses.

However, many fans have doubted that even if Riot implements this system, they might not get what they want. There is no guarantee that you will be getting your favorite skin in the store even after spending some handsome amounts of VP to re-roll the store several times.

People Have Been Waiting for a Skin for Almost a Year

Another fan shared his disappointing experience of waiting for the Prelude To Chaos Vandal for almost a year now. This fan has stated that he has been waiting for his favorite gun skin to appear in the 24-hour section since November 2023.

In this time period, the Vandal skin of this bundle didn’t pop up for a single time, but there were other skins of the same bundle like the Melee, Operator, Stinger, and that too for multiple times.

That’s why this fan too wants Riot to add a new feature in the in-game store. According to him, there should be a 12-hour slot as well with 2 skins and a single skin to flip (just like the Night Market) on Friday for 48 hours to purchase.

Now it’s up to Riot if it will pay heed to these concerns of the fans regarding the in-game store of Valorant. What’s your opinion on these issues? Let us know your views in the comment section.
