Just to clarify as a ex-music producer, the decibel system is an inaccurate way to measure how loud something truly is. Varying frequencies of different ranges can sound more loud to the human ear even if the dB is exactly the same.
This discussion was in a previous video of his, and that's why I mentioned LUFS. I'm a producer myself too, and it's nice that he listened to community feedback :).
You should make a table plotting all of the skins through the different attributes, so people can decide which skin they want depending on their highest priority, let's say sound, but they also want animation, so they may take a gun skin that is still good at sound, but not the best with a higher animation rating, kind of like a sweet spot in the middle.
Another niche stat that you might want to consider what skin you're playing is the color, for example I play Viper a lot so I rate green skins higher specially for the shotguns and silenced weapons since being green allows it blend better inside the smokes and viper ult compared to a red skin (the complete contrast of green, meaning easier to see)
Sounds help me hype up my gameplay. Its a psychology that boost my confidence on hitting those shot. Also I used the sound queue to prevent overheating.
Quieter shots make me miss everything, I can’t get a single kill with glitchpop phantom because it’s to quiet and the bullet tracers are practically invisible, but prime phantom has mic heavy sounding shots and visible tracers, which helps me a lot. Personal preference is what matters.
I have been using buff a very long time ago, i gave up on it since i have never seen the riot gift card restock. but now im giving it another chance and its cause of you!
it would have been great if every skin in the game was in the spread sheet with the points you gave them respectivly, and still thanks for the video. an interesting analyses
funny thing, my friends once did a science experiment on this: "How do cosmetic effects affect performance in a first-person shooter game called Valorant"
Infantry and Protocol skins still looks the best to me. Infantry for the models, and protocol for sounds and inspect animations and since protocol weapons have a voice over when you do stuff in game. Also, Buff is a great app yes, but it doesnt work in some countries. Make sure to check if it works properly for you
Good video, but why is 2:35 not explained at all. Unless I'm missing something, the Reaver scope seems better because it has arrows pointing to the center, which can help line up your crosshair placement.
great explanation as well as pin point accurate logic to support the explanation. makes total sense. The sponsor part became rather large(lengthy) in terms on on screen timing, just that, else good content, good luck 👍for the next one...
@@Archmeton if you made these types of videos on CSGO you would've gained so much more popularity tbh most of valo community is cringey kids but your doing an amazing job either way.
you could try weighting the values differently, and letting viewers choose how they want to be weighted, in some sort of script or excel graph? that could really optimise the selection of weapons for us
The best skin is the one you like most and perform best with, it doesnt matter if the model is 0.1% smaller if you absolutely hate what the skin looks like. At the end of the day its a placebo
It's nice to include tracers, but imo tracers that are short and thin are less distracting and are better that way, since you don't really need tracers in valorant since the projectile is like a laser.
I own the prime spectre, champions 2.0 phantom, reaver vandal and sovereign marshal, though reaver 1.0 skins are the actual best skins, also did you take into consideration the variants, since at least the white oni blue tracers might be more bright than the default red oni green tracers, and blue or purple singularity might have brighter tracers than the default black/pink
Yo haven't watched it yet but already know it'll be like your other video "are skins pay to win" which I really loved. Edit: lol you actually mentioned in the vid and I guessed before 🤣
I love elderflame bc people that don't uave expirance with it go for body shots when I juggle them and when they lose control bc dragon go brrr I take my time and shot them correctly
bro ngl I think u forgot that the reason why you can not really see the tracer for the reaver is because you chose the white variant, the white variant shoots white bullets and makes it hard to see, an easy to see one is you should try the red variant, or black variant, or actually basically everything but the white variant
I’ve used buff for quite some time now and even though I rarely play on my pc (about once every couple weeks to a couple months) I have gotten a good amount of buff points which I wasted on a raffle which I got nothing from and I haven’t had time to get any more buff points so I’m still poor at the moment on buff it is still a great way to get stuff but people act like they can pay to live with buffs and then complain when they can’t get enough to live for a month on doordash gift cards and stuff off of buff but it is n out actually that hard to get buffs because even when you lose games you still get buffs and even if you do terrible in game you still get buffs but that doesn’t mean slack off and don’t at least try when gaming because you get EXTRA buffs by doing well in games also I’m not sure about this but I think riot gift cards are premium only and you have to pay for that (I think don’t hold that against me jf I’m wrong)and honestly I would pay for buff premium to get riot cards since nowhere in my area sells riot gift cards but why would I do that when I could just help the ocean cleanup program it costs I think (I haven’t been on my pc in months so I’m probably wrong) is 400 buffs for 3 litres cleaned out or something like that and then there is one that is half that or something (I don’t know so check it out for yourself) so in conclusion download buff you won’t be disappointed and I could be wrong but I believe that all BUFF employees are actually BUFF gigachads (prove me wrong you sweaty gamers). MOM MY ESSAY ON BUFF IS DONE I JUST HAVE TO FIX SOME GRAMMAR ISSUES ughhh finally I can sleep
i have grinded buff for like a year or even more and know i have 1802,03 buffs and i cant spend them because i live in eu and stock for valorant gift cards refreshs late at night and by the time i have even woken up its sold out( i dont have premium). its just pain. buff un - vuckey
I use buff and i was grinding buff and i got enough buff points to buy val points so i did. But then since i didnt live in the USA 🇺🇸 I couldnt redeem the code. Could u just tell buff to refund my points or something? My buff user is rxmenKBM
Bullet tracers aside skins actually help u get rr bcuz wen u drop a skin and a person buys u the gun back ur eco score goes up even tho he bought it for u so u get the eco points of 2 vandals or phantoms meaning more rr
Hey just discovered your channel and it’s really cool. Unrelated to that, but do you know if all the codes have been redeemed. Wanna know if it’s worth going through and looking for them
Wait, about the tracers: aren't long tracers worse than short ones because enemies can see long tracers better and are more likely tor spray you down through smokes?
Skin effects only differs for the weapon you are holding. Your ally's and enemy's guns will all have the same sound, tracer, and animation (except finishers which only happens in the end)
Ok question one do you need to have credit card or be over 18 to use buff and take out money and stuff and does it work in all countries cuz i don't think it does in georgia🇬🇪
I never get the riot points card in my buff store. whenever I get it, it's either for EU only or premium. I collected almost 1300 buff points but never got to buy a skin :( Any tips for me on how to get the global version of riot points?

Interesting. Didn’t know that
As an audiology and acoustics student, it’s called equal loudness curve. And it’s measured in phons or sones
Just wanna say that as a bad boy

but everyone knows the bubbles are the real best vandal sound…
buff name is Hypocloriphorius (or Hypo if not that, im not at a pc rn)
i think that thinner but still well visible tracers are way better since they cant block your vision on targets while spraying
Nice quality my friend. Keep uploading great content! You will be true great Valorant creator one day
Quieter shots make me miss everything, I can’t get a single kill with glitchpop phantom because it’s to quiet and the bullet tracers are practically invisible, but prime phantom has mic heavy sounding shots and visible tracers, which helps me a lot.

8:05 getting a sug-
Oh yeah buff… yeah, that’s… what I was thinking about
insane vid mate production quality is getting better and better! silverpotato on buff :)
Good to hear!
I have been using buff a very long time ago, i gave up on it since i have never seen the riot gift card restock. but now im giving it another chance and its cause of you!
Do you have a table of loudest weapons? (not just the quietist)
I want to see how loud/quiet the Prime Vandal is relative to base/reaver
it would have been great if every skin in the game was in the spread sheet with the points you gave them respectivly, and still thanks for the video. an interesting analyses
I'm glad the champions 2022 phantom and the RGX op are one of the best skins in their categories.
(sure14 in buff)
funny thing, my friends once did a science experiment on this:
"How do cosmetic effects affect performance in a first-person shooter game called Valorant"
I been rockin that variant of the G.U.N. classic for years now. Goes hard.
I am happy to see that my mat - black collection has many benifits to it
Infantry and Protocol skins still looks the best to me. Infantry for the models, and protocol for sounds and inspect animations and since protocol weapons have a voice over when you do stuff in game.
Also, Buff is a great app yes, but it doesnt work in some countries. Make sure to check if it works properly for you
I don't quite understand why the lack of base is beneficial here, can't the sounds still be louder than others even if they have no base?
i fell in love with the green glitchpop vandal, honestly i respect you for that man
this made me feel better for not having skins
Good video, but why is 2:35 not explained at all.
Unless I'm missing something, the Reaver scope seems better because it has arrows pointing to the center, which can help line up your crosshair placement.
It's bc it takes up more of the screen
the champ 2022 skin as the best for animation is good and all, but the beat of the inspect will deffinitely distract you lol, plus extra sounds
great explanation as well as pin point accurate logic to support the explanation. makes total sense. The sponsor part became rather large(lengthy) in terms on on screen timing, just that, else good content, good luck 👍for the next one...
I can't believe how little subs you have. With the amount of effort in all of these vids you should have way more :). (Tomasaurs on Buff)
Nice you remembered tracers this time man nice skin :D
Yup! Redemption arc!! :P
:D
my fave dog alr my fave val channel, pumpin out good quality content.
Oh this is awesome.
I was hoping for something like this from you
Only the beginning!
@@Archmeton Bro is so underrated
@@Archmeton if you made these types of videos on CSGO you would've gained so much more popularity tbh most of valo community is cringey kids but your doing an amazing job either way.
@@ironicjason257 The most unique and creative content creator in valorant unquestionably
I personally think the best type of skin in the game is simply the one with a combo of a tiny gun model, gold bullet tracers, and sharp sounds.
for me Forsaken has the best tracer on the vandal. It is bright enough but it also has a outline making it easy to spot and distinguish
you could try weighting the values differently, and letting viewers choose how they want to be weighted, in some sort of script or excel graph? that could really optimise the selection of weapons for us
Love the Videos of yours… They show a new side of valorant to explore for us. Keep up the good work ( soraaa on Buff)
sometimes the gun model can block your vision but with neptune you can see trough it
3:37 how did u do that (textures and shaders look diffrent) i want that toooo
It’s in unreal engine
Finally, Our man got a sponsor.
Let's get that bread brother.
Les go
The best skin is the one you like most and perform best with, it doesnt matter if the model is 0.1% smaller if you absolutely hate what the skin looks like. At the end of the day its a placebo
nice, i loved how u dig so deep into statistics :>
Some skins like ruination phantom make very distinct noise when u hit people thru smokes that aspect of sounds seems to have been overlooked imo
Favorite creator ❤️❤️
Love your content keep the work up
It's nice to include tracers, but imo tracers that are short and thin are less distracting and are better that way, since you don't really need tracers in valorant since the projectile is like a laser.
what were the top 5 quietest vandal skins
when i first saw your chennel i expected like 300k subs man you are very underrated
Now calculate the time of you doing every task in buff to get 1000 point for 5 buck gift card to get the reaver vandal
always love seeing these types of videos by you! great work (my buff user is asemoon)
Amazing! You might as well be the fastest growing valorant player!
Aksvins on buff btw ;)
i never thought of skins this way and this video was very entertaining and informational 👍keep up the good work (buff user Loouna)

You are really one of the best Valorant creators, no cap ngl on my momma for real

Yo haven't watched it yet but already know it'll be like your other video "are skins pay to win" which I really loved.
Edit: lol you actually mentioned in the vid and I guessed before 🤣
I might be trippin but i think Gun Sounds and tracers only change for the Player that Shoots With The weapon
Statistically speaking as of now the Oni 2.0 Katana is *"the best"* melee to use for an advantage.
How much statistically best skins i have? 😅 all
So what I understood from this video is it's preference. Got it
you forgot kill sound bcs the blastx kill sound is loud af. the origin has the loudest gun sounds but quietest kill sound imo lmao
I love elderflame bc people that don't uave expirance with it go for body shots when I juggle them and when they lose control bc dragon go brrr I take my time and shot them correctly
You can tell this man has successfully graduated and is insane at math, actually paying attention in class
bro chose default animation for stinger when he should have given it to prelude to chaos.
hm yes the screen covering inspect over the boring default
@@Archmeton good point but I still prefer the reload
my buff is "baloney" also this channel is hugely underrated based on how much work it probably takes for each video
I can see the buff sponsorship from a mile away. Anyway thanks for theseee contents I really enjoy learning stuff
A cool video idea would be if you were to, instead of comparing the sizes of skin models, compare the sizes of character models in first person.
I'm happy that I statistically have one of the best op skins as I love oping
bro ngl I think u forgot that the reason why you can not really see the tracer for the reaver is because you chose the white variant, the white variant shoots white bullets and makes it hard to see, an easy to see one is you should try the red variant, or black variant, or actually basically everything but the white variant
Love the statistical take...Arachnodev on buff
the fact default skins are seen a lot tells me that the reason I dont have skins is because of practicality and not because Im dirt cheap
this feels like 3kiksphilip but valorant and i love it
i own the katana before clicking this video
