Riot Games truly erupted the news; the Night Market for the second time tonight is already causing all-night mayhem as to which cosmetics might show up. The ad from VALORANTLeaksEN threw shockwaves into the scene, with reactions pouring in at a speed faster than a Jett dash. So what’s the deal? What skins are the gamers praying to RNG for?
To give some perspective to the situation, here’s what the Night Market is: It’s a store that rotates through various skins that players can buy at discounted prices. But here’s the curveball: It is completely random; you could get the skin you’ve been dreaming about… or a horrendous blue-tier assassin you’ll probably never use. That is the whole dilemma, confirmed by the reply section.
@devesh2511 hopes to see a Neo Frontier Sheriff or Kuronami Spectre, while @SmartUnknownyt just wants to attract a Reaver Operator. And poor @dollymellody will take “anything pink at this point.” Same here.
Then come the ones down in the dumps. @rohanboycrypto amazingly gave voice to, “Why should I hope if I’m going to get trash?” And there’s little being untruthful. In retaliation, @FavinTwt87918 deemed the Night Market “garbage,” ouch.
Finer are some bundles’ names from which hopes are being cast: @BlissValo wants the whole EGO bundle after snagging a Spline Dagger last time; meanwhile, @nowayawais spammed “reaver vandal” almost like a chant. On another level, @JVSentry screamed in all caps for a Gaia Vandal as if it was a matter of life and death.
And it was a nonstop. @k1m555 started to rib the time zones, while sarcastically, @1208_mai said he needs a skin that “makes me look like I actually know how to play,” whereas back again, @mehul_afc sarcastically predicted he’d get “2 blue skins and 2 knives.” Classic.
The verdict? Night Market is either a blessing or a curse, depending on your luck. Will you walk off the street with the skin you’ve been obsessing over or will Riot’s RNG screw you yet again? Time will tell.
All the while, until then, all we can do is just keep on waiting and refreshing the store and praying. Or, y’know, just maki-g peace with the knockoff ugly knife. One way or another, VALORANT players are gonna have one hell of an evening.
And hey, you treat yourself to something sick? Straight flex that in-game. Or else… the next time, maybe.
