kirbyKanecoOf course they're killing off dx8 because of skins, why is it not obvious, it's the main difference to dx9 since the last updates, and obviously they wanna make skins a real thing that has a lot of leverage in the game and comp community like in CSGO which is definitely not a bad thing.
Do you think their mentality, considering this to be true, that people without rarer skins will see them on, say, a killcam and think, "oh wow, that skin is amazing! I need to buy it/the crate!"? Besides that, I can't imagine what other importance forcing skins in competitive has. It's not like I'm gonna see some guy with a top notch, factory new, unusual weapon skin and think he's good at the game or anything. I guess some people are that naive.
they want twitch streamers (b4nny or whoever is popular) to use skins and show them off, so that his 500(0) viewers all see the cool guns he and his friends use so they can get mad advertising for free.
its not complicated, the majority of the twitch streams running and being viewed are being seen through a players POV, with configs and all, not the tourney pov with the frag vid config on. If they don't set a floor, players WILL turn off the skins.
also yr dumb if you don't target the dude in the pub with the unusual first
