Riot Games took to the VALORANT Twitter account to give a casual reminder about sunscreen, and oh, those replies went haywire! The awkward summer PSA spiraled into an epic gamer meltdown with the players demanding everything from beach skins for agents to fixing AFK teammates. Things started getting really weird from there.
Now, the initial sunscreen tweet was nice; just a cute little reminder to stay safe in the sun, probably associated with a summer event or an upcoming skin line. And the VALORANT players? They saw it as an opportunity. And by opportunity, I mean just a chance to fill the reply section with demands, memes, and absolute chaos.
One of the main requests? Beach skins for agents. Brimstone in swim shorts? Sign me up. Fade laying on a towel? That would be a lovely sight indeed. User @HamburgerSmg just asked, “Brimstone at the beach when? 🥺” and @xacchh followed, “Facts need big booty brim on the beach.” Now that is true VALORANT priority: seeing their agents take a vacation.
But of course, it was not all ridiculous fun. Others just couldn’t hold down their grievances and set about making them known. @haxxing__ came through with, “dont forget to fix your game where afk teammates dont get banned and we get a full lost rr with 2 afks.” Oof. Mood. And @6ft5AutisticGuy kept blasting Riot over aim assist adjustments that have not been done since beta. Like damn, shots fired.
Then there were the… uh… thirstier responses. @itlnyankfan dropped a gem, “Would love to oil Fade’s back any day.” Sir, this is Wendy’s. Meanwhile, @ImSergioh pleaded for “back therapy,” which-yeah, me too. Sitting ranked queues for hours is killing my spine.
Of course, no VALORANT thread would be complete without some random lore drops. @Ravvyungg popped up with “Omen is lonely thou 😔.” Like, why you gotta go make us feel? And @eY2PzZFfLD42848 (that vibe-worthy username) wanted to know why Riot hadn’t even disclosed the 2025 Champions Vandal design yet. Bro, it’s 2024. Chill.
The strange part? From there, the replies took a turn for foreign diplomacy, whereupon @Mallo0928 said something in Chinese: “中国人不骗中国人,” roughly meaning “Chinese don’t lie to Chinese.” No context-just vibes.
These are not to forget: the mobile players. @Dolgoon20050715 pleaded, “Pls val mobile access event again,” probably because some gamers are still patiently waiting for their turn to play VALORANT on go. Riot, are you hearing this?
By the time they wrapped up, the thread was a fascinating mess: half hilarious, half unhinged, and a little concerning. That is the VALORANT community for you. One minute they’re demanding beach skins; the next, they’re roasting Riot over unfinished features. And honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way.
So, yeah: sunscreen! But also, Riot-maybe give the people what they want? Brimstone beach skin about to make headlines. Just saying.
