100% agree with the lightning strike, it looked trash upon release and was cheap because it looks garbage, only reason its expensive now is because its old but trash remains trash
I genuinely like the lightning strike. When I first picked one up off the ground, knowing nothing about the price, I thought it was really cool. The deep purple is beautiful and the lightning design adds just the right touch of extra detail without being too busy
its a 40 euro skin thats way too expensive. It's not that pretty. Asiimov was a true classic or boom which also is overpriced as shit what a retarded time@@riker8214
i agree with everything zues said because you cant try and rank skins by their history and stuff you need to rate them from looks ONLY if that is what your are trying to rate them. it doesnt matter HOW RARE THE SKIN IS when you are just rating looks.
ye but like nostalgia does play a big part in how you view skins like all the skins i have are like pre 2019 because after that i feel that they kind changed stuff up and they just look too modern, you cant say that a frontside misty or a fuel injector or an icarus fallen doesnt bring back memories and feels fantastic to use, sure maybe the new guns look better, but like there is just something about older cs skins.
Always felt the same way about the fire serpent… it just looks so bad. I would never use it as a play skin, sell that immediately and replace it with any of the countless cheaper AKs that look way better. Fuel injector, vulcan, bloodsport, frontside misty, ice coaled, hell even the orbit mk2… just so many better looking options out there for WAY less.
I guess it really depends on what you like. All of those skins you mentioned (I’ve had all of them at one point) are really colorful and super vibrant. I can use the fire serpent for long periods of time and never get sick of it. It’s a very subtle AK with OG art work and the green isn’t super flashy. The most appealing skin on your list to me is probably the fuel injector but after a while It feels like a construction worker skin. I think people just like a more mature weapon with a bunch of cool little details in the artwork. Skins like the night wish are just so over the top they give me a headache. They are flamboyantly distracting.
the dragon lore is honestly pretty hideous. terrible color scheme, cringy checkerboard pattern on the scope, and “ohhh muh dragon sooo cool like game of thrones” could have also added the gut knife and the dual wield knives. i would prefer a default knife to that shit

6:26 I've opened Lightning Strike in 2013 and it was the top-1 skin in these days, and I was happy to open particalary this awp. But when I load the game and looked at the skin... my god it was so low-rez it Disgust me. So I traded it for awp Boom + some other blue skin. I'm happy that Valve did changed the original image but I still have this bad impression.
I feel heyzeus though. A lot of hype skins are meh. I played with a BFK emerald for a couple weeks and the only time it looked good was in direct sunlight on bright maps. Otherwise it was just a green knife.
BFKs in general are overhyped to hell, they used to be he same price as a Bayonet maybe a little bit more, but good god if i spectate a teammate and all i hear is the annoying clanking sounds from his ADHD having ass spectating his knife constantly. Ive found BFK users to run into enemies with their knife out alot more because theyre too busy inspecting a knife
Cmon, it was pixelated af. How can you not understand that criticism, it's as objective as you can get with skins since it was literally broken for a time. Hating it then was very understandable.

Lightning strike was for a long time the most dogass looking Skin, its like Valve let one of their workers kids steal a lightning jpeg and slap it onto a skin. In CS2 it looks better for sure, but it still is underwhelming in comparison to 90% of awp skins, only reason its so expensive is because its got a nostalgia factor + quite rare
I just realised a theory that probably has been mentioned, you can only see snakes in the Medusa, cause you are not meant to see Medusa! That’s so smart if they meant that

They're all overrated for the price they want. The only reason that any of the skins in this game are expensive is because the case odds are purposefully rare to drive the price up.

There is no fire, there is no serpent... that's a retarded lizard on a default AK-47, the same with cartel but even if I hate both, cartel is still better than the "fire serpent"... The video is a W... still, medusa, lightning strike are good in my opinion.
Fire serpent is trash, its ugly and just ruins the defualt ak. Just buy the Ak cartel instead if you want a semi defualt skin that looks actually good, the cartel is way cleaner and better looking

guess what, diamond is expensive while glass is cheap. people wear diamonds but you cant tell the difference which is what just by looking at jewelry. People pay for diamonds not becouse of its hardness or any special properties. they buy it because it is rare and nice. glass is only nice.

Not gamma doppler phase 2 tho
