If a Rubedo Soma skin was the Unparalleled item, you can expect heads to roll at DE.

Judging by the Steam Winter event and the Summer Event, they typically put commonly-used items first, and then seldomly-used items later.

DE made the right move in making the Unparalleled item from last year the Ankyros -- I can't say I've ever seen anyone use the Ankyros outside of weapon ranking.

Then the Tigris -- a favorite gun of mine (I have a guide here on the wiki), and even bought the Phased skin for it, but I'm not naive enough to believe it's a highly-used weapon in the game.

And this year, the Viper skins. I rarely, if ever, see people use Vipers regularly in matches I'm in, so it was good to make them one of the rarer items.

If they have an Unparalleled item this year, I would expect something similar to the Ankyros (in terms of popularity), like Dual Kamas, Furax, Hind, Sobek, Spectra, or Vulkar.

Not bad weapons, necessarily -- but not popular ones. Soma is far too common in the playerbase to have an extremely rare Rubedo skin.
