The game Valorant has captivated many fans with its incredible and meticulously detailed skin collections, which are simply enchanting in their beauty. However, the shooter by Riot Games has had its darker moments when the release of a new bundle did not generate much excitement among players. These collections failed to gain significant attention or popularity because they did not meet players' expectations. Let’s take a look at some of the worst and least successful skin collections in Valorant.
Spline
The Spline collection was one of the first to appear in Valorant. Due to its high price and rarity, it failed to gain wide popularity among players. The main reason is its rather specific design, which may not appeal to everyone, and the lack of any unique animations. The only noteworthy feature of this collection is the variety of colour schemes, which, although attractive, are not enough to justify the full price of 7,100 VP.
Gravitational Uranium Neuroblaster
The Gravitational Uranium Neuroblaster collection is one of several dedicated to the cosmic-galactic theme, but it did not rank among the best collections. The likely reason could be the design, which, although relatively original, does not appeal to everyone, as well as the high price, the unfavourable selection of weapons for the bundle, and, in our subjective opinion, the unsuccessful shooting sound that becomes available after upgrading the skin.
Minima
The minimalist design used in the Minima collection did not appeal to everyone. Although players with at least one weapon from this collection can sometimes be seen, usually the Sheriff, the bundle did not gain much popularity. Even at a relatively low price of 4,240 VP for 5 items, without a melee weapon, it does not have many fans.
Nebula
The Nebula collection is an attractive option for those seeking a cosmic and mysterious atmosphere for their favourite weapon. It has an appealing look but has some drawbacks, such as the lack of a unique knife – only a recoloured standard one. The high price is also one of the main disadvantages of the collection, as it is 7,100 VP for the entire set, which lacks any additional visual or sound effects.

Nunca Olvidados
The design of the Nunca Olvidados collection may find its fans among Valorant players, but their number is quite limited. This can be noticed after playing several dozen matches without encountering a single player who owned this collection. However, it is worth noting the unique mechanic of these skins: they change their design from bright to dark or vice versa, depending on the lighting on the part of the map you are on.
Undercity
The Undercity collection is a partial copy of the popular Glitchpop collection. The weapons and knife have an identical design, distinguishable only by the print. Compared to the original, it looks less attractive due to the lack of any uniqueness: no progression through Radianite. The only thing that might catch a buyer's attention is the knife, which has a second version where the agent holds two knives from both Glitchpop collections.
Team Ace
In our subjective opinion, skins designed in the style of Valorant agents do not look very attractive, and the Team Ace collection is no exception. Although the weapon selection by Riot Games for this collection is good, as it includes three of the most popular rifles – Phantom, Vandal, and Operator, the lack of a melee weapon reduces its appeal. An additional problem is the high price of 5,600 Valorant Points.
Titanmail
The Titanmail collection in Valorant, although it appeared quite a while ago, remains little known. It seems that factors such as design, price, and popularity among other players have affected its usage. These skins had potential but required more attention during development to become desirable among players. The lack of animation and sounds impacted the desire to have Titanmail in their collection, even for such a bundle with an attractive appearance.
Sarmad
The Sarmad collection offers a stylish design inspired by Egyptian culture, mummies, and the desert. Despite the interesting theme, this collection remains little known and rarely used among players. Perhaps due to insufficient promotion or an unappealing design, the skins from this collection have not gained significant popularity, making them very rarely seen in-game.

Abyssal
The Abyssal collection can be considered one of the best on the ocean and abyss theme, after Neptune. Despite its attractive appearance and a good choice of weapons, including the Spectre, Sheriff, Guardian, and melee weapon, it has several drawbacks compared to other collections. Specifically, the lack of a progression system leads to the absence of additional animations and sound effects. Additionally, the knife design may be quite specific and not appeal to everyone.
Altitude
This is another collection in the style of Valorant agents that looks more funny than attractive. Each weapon, except the knife, has a small agent figurine and is styled and coloured accordingly. All of this is presented as their personal airship with a propeller at the front, and the agents themselves control it from small cabins. In our opinion, this is one of those collections that one might buy just for fun.
Reverie
The Reverie collection is distinguished by its original design, which imitates colourful shattered glass, intended to attract attention. Despite the interesting concept, this collection remains unnoticed by the majority of players, and it is unlikely that this situation will change in the future. Most players will likely purchase it at a discount during the Night Market event if the skins are available there.
Daydreams
The Daydreams collection features a bright design in a youthful style that draws attention. It stands out with an unconventional melee weapon – a crowbar. However, compared to other collections that have more details and additional colour schemes or unique items, the Daydreams collection may lose in competition. It is still better to buy one expensive skin with various effects than two that only have a nice print.
Switchback
The Switchback collection is the last unsuccessful one not only on our list but in the entire game. The set appeared in the store just a few weeks ago but was used by the developers to give players a break between rare and large collections that were released before and after it. Although the skins have a stylish design in white-grey-orange colours, the lack of any animation makes them less attractive for purchase among players.

Despite these collections being considered by us as some of the worst and least popular, it is important to note that each player's tastes are individual. What one player does not like might be a favourite for another. Thus, even collections that have gained less popularity can still have their fans and enthusiasts who do not mind paying the amount of money that Riot Games developers ask for them.
