A whole lot of commotion broke out on Twitter as Valorant players showed off their favorite player cards, the selections causing some degree of confusion and chaos. ValorantUpdated called upon the community to toss in some of their favorite cards, and the responses were gold! The thread turned into personalities and styles exhibiting themselves: some comments were pure memes, while others showed off very rare exclusives.
Kicking things off, the guy who called out the “gold diet milk” card undoubtedly just threw it out there. A Legendary stepping out of the boundaries. Then another rather proudly showed off his long-time allegiance with the Champion 2021 card because some gamers never switch up their aesthetic. Next, another player looked down at all contenders and said ANY Omen card is a victory—without a doubt for all the edgy phantom mains out there, right?
Behind the curtain, the lesser-known winners were where the real drama was taking place: one player called out a card they have been slinging since day one, while another was mourning never getting that limited edition one forever. And then chaos erupted after “ALL THE NANOBOMB CARDS RAAAAAHHHHHHH I LOVE LESBIANS”: sometimes, enthusiasm just has to erupt.
The bilingual bunch started after that, like the French player singing their praise, “Tout simplement magique,” or the Hungarian posters teasing, “na várjatok majd kiteszem a kedvenceim” (wait, I’ll post my favorites later). Within no time, the thread transformed into a miniature United Nations of VALORANT fans.
Bias has to come in for some of the agents: KJ stans declared her card “so cute,” Cypher stans geeked out on a subtle hero reference, and Astra mains promised to add it to cinematics. And the “naked op card” reply? Never speak it aloud: gamer honesty in its purest form.
This paper-promise summoned many deep cuts, including those exclusive cards that debuted and barely were glimpsed in shops and even some bundle items that received a lot of flak, eventually gaining die-hard appreciation. One even boasted that theirs never shows up in-game unless they use it, a little niche flex.
Then the shouts for esports came, and the fans of KRU, Leviatán, and G2 went loud in repping their teams, proving again that player cards are more than just aesthetics—they mean badges of honor.
So, what’s the takeaway? VALORANT places more on player cards than menu decorations. An array of tiny canvases for personalities, inside jokes, and sometimes pure chaos. Be it a rare exclusive, a meme, or a mains’ look, your card speaks volumes about you. Judging from this thread, the community does have opinions.
Do excuse me as I go check my inventory for the presence of “good job, Paul!” because priorities.
