What went wrong?
>2v2 tag fighter>releasing with 9 characters>after 6 years in development!!
the game's fate will be dictated by>how fast they can pump out characters>how grindy is it to unlock each fighter>how much characters, colors, costumes etc. cost>how many free cosmetics there will be8 days until release and they continue to refuse to talk about the monetization>>719578821>6 years10 years, cannon bros was bought out a few weeks after SFV dropped in early 2016
>>719577116This roster is so ass
>>719577116Who the fuck asked for a LoL fighting game?
>>719579484>how grindy is it to unlock each fighteryou have to unlock fighters? I thought they were all going to be free on launch, like rivals of aether 2
>>719577116nobody cares about these characters, literally. they all have shit pickrates and are unpopular outside of like 500 fat twitter trannies posting fanart about them>but muh hecking arcanerinonobody cares about that meme astroturfed show, like literally the only popular characters here are blitz, yasuo, jinx, and ahri. Where's sylas, jhin, kai'sa, lux, caitlyn, miss fortune, viego, mordekaiser, vayne, jax, kayn irelia, zed, lee sin, yone, draven, ezreal. issa DOA
>>719579652shareholders
reply if you played the Rising Thunder beta.that shit was fun
>>719577116What the fuck did they do to blitzcrank?
>>719579720it has the same mastery system as valorant and it took like 40h for each character when the game came out in 2020keep in mind that valorant heroes are basically just model swaps with different abilities which is way cheaper to make than a full fighting game character so it's probably gonna be even worse than that
>>719580123I didIt was not
>>719577116No yordles
>>719580345(dude you can't just contradict me in front of all my 4chan frens like that, i look and smell like a moron now!)Shit I meant, t-thanks for your input
>>719580123All I know about this is that one video of the WoW player raging
Absolutely mogged by Nen Impact #nenitup
>>719580123Hell yeah
>>719580123i did. it was ok honestly. but it was only really good for a few sessions of fun, still baffling that it had better netcode than games still coming out in 2025
>>719577116Why did they choose such a retarded name? why not League of Fighters?
>>719577116Really fucking stupid name.Why would you call a League of Legends fighting game something as nonsensical as "2XKO"? Why not call it something like "League of Fighters"? "Clash of Legends"? I'm not good at coming up with names but surely the developers of one of the biggest games out there could come up with something better than "2XKO".
>>719581025Oh yeah I forgot that game came out lol.>Mixed (179)oof
jinx was cool b4 they ruined her character in arcane
>>719581643>>719581671they can't call it anything related to league of legends because the league of legends itself was retconned from ever existing in the lore like 10 years ago
>>7195771162v2
>>719577116It's taken 200 years to release for no reason. Should have just had Arc Sys do it.Also Illaoi isn't smothering me in her pits or trying to break my head with her thighs, so it's already shit.
>>719577116>There's an entire skin line event about characters participating in a fighting tournament>Draven, Evelynn, Gwen, Irelia, Jhinn, Kalista, Lux, Naafiri, Nidalee, Nilah, Pyke, Samira, Sett, Shaco, Viego, Xin Zhao and Yasuo>Yasuo is the only one of those that they put in their fighting gameThe roster is shit, the animations are ugly and 2v2 is gay
it's going to be so funny when people realize how much of a handicap duos are
>>719579652They wanted a fighter to hang with in the esports event plus LoL is dead asf
>>719580123Will he make his return?https://youtu.be/sBxp3I9vKlU?si=1QAFByKYz1VKAeAK
>>719582903This guy would actually kill himself is he played against a really actual BS Zoner like Pre nerf JP in SF 6 or Deadshot in INjustice 2
>>719581885>Journal of Justice>Jarvan 4 is Leblanc theory>Blitzcrank's Fleshling Compatibility ServiceTake me back bros...
Why no Gangplank? Orange memery would be great
>>719577116imagine the copious amount of money laundry the brothers did with this
>>719577116Took too long and made it a fucking tag fighter.If this was a 1v1 game that released back when the thought of it having good netcode alone was enough to make it superior to all other fighting games it would've done great, but they took way too fucking long and missed their chance. And making it a tag-assist game just guarantees no one will stick with it just like how no one but the highest level competitive players stick with Marvel. It only worked for Fighterz because dragon ball is a strong enough IP to make it work, but we've already seen that LoL isn't strong enough to get the League kids to play the spin-off games.
>>719577116The initial foundation of the game is based on complaints/misconceptions about fighting games from the SFIV era before many of these complaints were addressed by later games -such as rollback, lobbies, input buffers, easier execution, training mode, tutorials etc. Once newer legacy fighting games implemented all of the distinguishing features of the riot fighter project, they lost a lot of any edge they had on what they perceived to be an underdeveloped market.I also think the purchase/deal was made at the height of the esports/FGC bubble. People really thought with SFV, fighting games esports were going to be a major moneymaker. Over time, EVO and fighting games spectatorship stagnated and riot was left holding the bag. I think their marketing saw how much engagement MVC got with casuals through stuff like maximillian, etc. in reviving interest with watching fighting games, and then decided to pivot to a tag fighter before realizing that a lot of the interest in actually watching marvel was exaggerated by American FGC boomers - hence MVC2/3 bombing at their recent EVO comebacks. This is even more clear at how alienated casuals were from the myriad systems in the 2XKO open betas. At this point 10 years have passed and its too late to pivot now.tldr, the whole project is riot being taken for a ride by out of touch American FGC boomers. It is pretty much going to be a jobs program for the few FGC people close to the project and a handful of players/influencers.
>>719583681noneyou're thinking of embezzlement
>>719577116From what little I know about League there are some interesting characters to chose from, so why is this lineup so boring?
>>719584136choose from*
>>719583115>Pre nerf JPWasn't that bad, they even reverted the nerf to his anti-air and it hasn't caused any problems.
>>719584136Human characters are most popular according to metrics.
>>719584413Braum and Illaoi are some of the legit least played or liked characters even worse than non humies
>was made by Marvelfags to replace Mahvel 3 since that game is dead>now Tokon Deez (which is closer to real Mahvel) is being made anywayMy bet is this going to die on the same hill skullgirls did
>>719584136The devs are cowards. They've even stated they will not be adding yordles because they are scared of small hurtboxes.
I believe that in reality, the game didnt fail because it was a Riot fighting game, but rather, it failed simply because it was a fighting gameIts simply an entire genre that doesnt attract a wider audience
>>719583758>Essence thiefIsn't that a fancy term for semen demon
dr pavel
>>719584676They didn't you tranny, they even went out of their way to say they want yordles and weirdos with fucked up proportions in soon
>>719584484there's some mandate at riot to force those characters into stuff
>>719584803Ahri IS a semen demonNot in a memey way either, she is a succubus
>>719584850>CIA CourtWhat's next, Blitz is voiced by Masketta Mann?
>>719584861When was that? Last I heard they were scared of short characters. Also I want to fuck the shit out of Poppy not be her.
>>719583764The game isn't nearly as hyper and TOD oriented as marvel though it's more like a 2v2 guilty gear
>>719585594>it's more like a 2v2 guilty gearGG games give you a fuckton of defesive mechanics at all times and way more impressive backdashes and air movement, this is closer to UNI nootral including the half screen safe combo starter pokes
>>719585758>and way more impressive backdashes and air movement,i meant soive
>>719584861then how the fuck is teemo not in the starting roster?
>>719586041Man, what is it with you faggots spamming every single fighting game thread with the same shitty baits, is it really fun
>>719586152Because the devs were retarded enough to say only T E N fucking characters on release which is so stupid it managed to top Blazblue's vomit inducing initial roster
Looks fun but>vanguardYeah, no thanks.
>>719580123It was good. Making it into a league game killed it It would have gone down as an indie classic that people play at side tournaments Instead it's going to be dead on arrival slop that riot will forget about immediately just like every other game they tried to produce that wasn't league or the overwatch clone
>>719584786Fighting games can be good if they're made by gold animators Art style and animation is the actual make it or break it aspect about any fighting gameFgc autistics and their footsie TOD combos are the cancer in fighting games Fighting games should be made by anime studios. Not game devs
>>719586794> fighting games should just have good animation and not good gameplaywe got that its call Shaq Fu and most arena fighters
>>719587024forget the Shaq Fu part I was thinking smooth not good
>>719577116Where's Captain Teemo? Also what the fuck is that Blitz?
>>719585184The last time they talked about Yordles they said no yordles because they dont know how to make short characters were.Meanwhile granblue has a girl that isn't even three feet tall.
>>719577116I haven't played LoL for over a decade, but why, oh why, did Jinx, Vi and Ekko become some kind of mascot / icons for the brand?You'd think it'd be Characters like Darius, Garen, Ryze, Ezreal, Ahri and Katarina, and throwing in a few non-human like Alistair, Warwick or Cho'gath ..but Jinx, Vi and Ekko?They're the most bisexual looking-ass zoomer fortnite marvel characters imaginable, and none of them are important to the original lore, unlike some basic first few years' charactersEven Urgot is more relevant in the big perspective than some literal mentally ill gun hoe, lesbian fister or time token
>>719590218How the fuck did you miss the extremely popular tv show release anon
>>719590218>..but Jinx, Vi and Ekko?They're the Arcane mascotsLeague's mascots ARE Katarina, Ahri, Darius, and Teemo
>>719577116>no CatD R O P P E DROPPED
>>719590218Jinx has been consistently one of the most popular characters in all LoL you retard
>>719590218>They're the most bisexual looking-ass zoomer fortnite marvel characters imaginableYou just answered your own question
>>719590316>>719590346I mean before Arcane,They were being pushed even before that, and my point is exactly why would they push these three? why would they even make a show where those three are highlighted instead of more prominent characters?You can't tell me people wouldn't have wanted a dramatic Noxus/Demacia war with Garen & Katarina sparks, or a show where bunch of heroes fight void creatures for examplenope, we got the lesbo drama, because god knows the chinese/tencent DEFINITELY want to see that (they don't)
>>719581671You can't scam Riot out of the maximum amount of money without hiring a department to spend years coming up with the stupidest possible names for everything, brother.
>>719590653>I mean before Arcane,>They were being pushed even before that,Vi was never pushed before Arcane, she was just a well liked characterJinx was always extremely popularEkko didn't really get a push before Arcane either and most of his popularity came from the fact that he didn't play LoL back then, but played modern LoL we have now ie he was a stupidly braindead nigger with hyper mobility that ignored basic laning and ganking mechanics to throw a single skillshot into bursting people down and was very strong because of itReminder that Jinx straight up got a music video years before Arcane was even conceived
>>719590895>Reminder that Jinx straight up got a music video years before Arcane was even conceivedOh yeah, I forgot about thatYeah I guess I can see why discount harley quinn would be popular, but I still don't see why they'd make a cringy drama about her, especially when she barely even looks like her in-game version
Honestly the only two human characters that need to be in are Draven (Based and unique) and Qiyana (hot as fuck), the rest should be the more unique designs like Hecarim or Kled with his mountIt's really weird how they just ignored Lee Sin for the base roster when he was practically designed for something like this
>>719577116the champs selected really sucks. why wouldn't they have zed?
>>719591310Some characters like Zed are designated (Break in case of emergency) tier, they probably want those kept for future releases.Braum, Illaoi and Ekko are just plain dumb thoughIt's really funny how Yasuo is the biggest noob magnet out of the base roster in LoL but by far the single most technical option in 2xko
>>719577116>(1) more character than launch Skullgirls>9 years in development hellRiot is a huge company how the fuck did this happen? Even the sloppiest kusoge on the market have better rosters than this. The bargain bin HxH game and the Bleach fighter both had more.
>>719591725Having a tight budget means you have to actually get things done so you can get the product out the door and selling to keep the lights on. Riot gave the 2xko devs endless blank checks so they were free to redesign everything whenever they felt like it which is how they spent 5 years on a street fighter clone just to throw it out and start over with a marvel clone.
>>719577116Most of the functions in this game are ripped STRAIGHT from Rising Thunder. They had an unfinished Robot with a huge gun in the game, who is the only one who wasn't translated over to 2XKO as of now.
where's taric
>>719592230Too homosexual even for rito
>>719592264Truly outrageous
>>719577116Why the fuck would you go with that artstyle? Does Riot even know why the fuck anyone ever gave a shit about any of their characters?
>>719577116>cancel hytale for this shit>>719579652thissssssss
>>719592215>Senna as the last characterI hate that this is probably correct
>>719592569No, Teemo got leaked. But she could be the 12th.
>>719592445>HE THINKS HYTALE WAS EVER REAL
>>719577116I know nothing about leel but this looks cool
>>719592634more real than the hype for a lol slop fighter
>>719592628And where was that?
>>719592929Datamine + some famous Brazilian LoL leaker We also know that the character after Teemo has 3 letters in their name and 1000 health
>>719593057Wut, I thought the main leak was Katarina
>>719577116>no Ezreal>no Master Yi>no Garen>no Katarina>no Graves>no Twisted Fate>no Ryze>no Nocturne>no Annie>no Leona>no Ashe>no Caitlyn but fucking ViWhat a shit roster for a tag fighter. Who the fuck even is that in between Yasuo and Braum?
>league of legends>2v2 tag fighter>shit and clunky gameplay>boring rosterWhy the fuck are Jynx and Ahri in there beside the reason that they're fan favorite waifus? There are much better characters that fit the brawler type that would fit in the game. Like add akali, she's a fan favorite hottie and she's a ninja.
>>719593267that's braum's girlfriend illaoi>>719593124no they explicitly deconfirmed kata and said she was completely cut from the roster
>>719593354>no they explicitly deconfirmed kata and said she was completely cut from the rosterWhat the fuck when and why
>>719577116>No Garen>Modern RiotIt was destined to be shit
>>719593404in a history of development tiktok (when she showed her on screen she had "rip" overlayed on her)
>>719584676>>719585184I miss old PoppyHad the perfect sustain and farm build for topHextech Revolver, Chalice of Harmony, Philo stone, and a Heart of GoldEven got my second pentakill with her
>>719593404>What the fuck when and whyAt the EVO 2024 panel last year. She was some test character with a bunch of random moves to test out code and gamefeel https://x.com/2XKOIntel/status/1814798398828257793
>>719593057despite the shitposting in here the game will do very well. it's going to be providing the fgc with a well funded and supported game that is likely to be a street fighter adjacent. similar to how valorant is a CS adjacent. not the same game but providing polish similar to. it will do well. it'll be the latest hottest FG similar to all new FG for awhile and it will have a huge influx of players but we'll see how riot handles 6months after launch which is when most fgc cut like 70% of their launch players and only the 30% actual players remain
>>719577116>have dozens of female characters to choose from>out of these, choose reddit incarnate, the bulldyke attached to her, an even bigger brown bulldyke and one of the few sexy females who hasn't been 'updated' yet for the few remaining straight males that play your gameNo fucking wonder it's dead. And does anyone actually care about Ekko?
Target audience: Wecterners
>>719594293It's pretty obvious how they chose their roster.
>People ITT unironically acting like Arcane wasn't massively popularWhy
>>719594624>Thinking it's going to be Teemo and not Kai'sa or Riven. Delusional.
>Thinking it's gonna be the characters that literally got dataminedHow delusional
>>719580123I played RT when it came out but it quickly devolved into Chel and Crow games between the same 10 people. Posers will say Riot was wrong to kill RT for 2XKO but that shit was DOA
>>719577116not a single cool character
>>719594846only things datamined was the number of letters in the name, an range of where on the alphabet it belongs and health pools.Sorry but they're anti little fighter. I'm just trying not to set you up for disappointment.
>>719594624I totally forgot Ruined King was a thing>>719594807Kai'sa and Riven are too attractive. Ahri is likely all we'll get for sex appeal even though she appears toned down a lot.
>>719595075>I'm just trying not to set you up for disappointment.I do NOT want Teemo in the game, I just think he is in because he'd be just as disappointing as Braum and Illaoi. The devs go for the most reddit incarnate picks ever
>>719595095>>719595124Shaco it is then
>>719592215>Most of the functions in this game>functionskek I understood that ComboFiend MvC:I reference
DoA
>>719594929>but that shit was DOAbut so is 2XKO
No female yordles no download.
I just hope that they wont fuck up the invites like they did with the two betas
>>719595756Wasn't Phreak caught looking at big tittied yordle porn on stream once?
>>719577116Incompetent devs can't wrap their heads around short characters.
>>719586794>says while posting FigtherZ
>>719586794>Fgc autistics and their footsie TOD combos are the cancer in fighting gamesBut FighterZ has multiple ToDs...
>>719595095Riven is such an old and busted character. She's lost all of her appeal over time to newer characters who do her job better and prettier sluts. She's the obvious pick for the fighting game but frankly Riot should just ignore her if they want the game to succeed.
>no khazixI dont care thenI wasnt gonna play it anyways because its probably going to have the same rootkit anticheat as lol
>>719580123I liked it. It was showing a lot of promise and I'm sure if they'd finished the characters they had it would have been great
>>719600729Yes, butBunny Riven
I'm no business analyst but riot seems like a bad company that just got lucky stealing stuff at the right time
>>719600729Does LoL even make pretty sluts anymore? For the last however many years the only females I've seen were at best inoffensively cute.
The average League player isn't going to play a fighting game because there's no one else to blame for their lack of skill
>>719602106They do
>>719602315They actually can pair up with another player here though, they have a true 2v2 or 2v1 mode. You don't have to control your secondary character if you don't want to>>719602321
>>719584803>>719585116She's a gumiho, which is basically the eastern equivalent. Evelynn is the succubus, and is the hotter one.
>>719602449
>>719602542
>>719602449nobody serious is going to do that. It's retarded to put yourself at the mercy of some retard when you can just pick up another character yourself. It's the kind of idea that sounds good in a boardroom without thinking about the practical implications
>>719602051That's 99% of successful companies, suits want you to believe that they're actually talented and smart
>>719602321>>719602449>>719602542These are ok and I guess they needed the money, though they are also fairly inoffensive too, especially the small one in bondage. Show me another Ahri-tier female and I still won't play their game but you'll have me. Also a rework of a female that doesn't ruin her.
>>719602653I think it's a perfectly fine mode for casual play and there were a fuckton of people that did play like that in the betas.Plus it's a really interesting idea for the occasional side tourney.
>>719602710You have to remember that these cunts make a fuckton of money selling skins tooThis is for the first chick I posted
>>719602653>Nooooo you can't have fun why would you have funI bet this nigga never played the mercenaries modes in RE games either, no fun loser
>>719577116A fully free to play fighting game was the most obvious monkey's paw of all time
>>719593594>Street Fighter adjacentFuck off. It's an anime style fighter more than anything.
>>719602770yeah but the skins don't look nearly as good in 2xko. wtf are the retards doing? seems like they fell for the CORE VALUES FGC meme while the other developers dropped that shit like a hot potato
Just look at the fucking roster
>>719584850>CIA CourtWhats next, FBI Torture Chamber???
>>719577116what kind of league of legends fighting game doesnt have garen, kat, trist, and mister yi? aren't they the main characters?
>>719602648Note that the "head" is a fake, like with anglerfish light lures
>>719595873based and trvkepilled
>>719606021Well are the thighs real
Whens my wife
>>719577116not enough coombait (unironically)
>>719603405the fact that you can't understand english tells me everything i need to know about your response you fucking monkey. i said street fighter adjacent also unsure if you played the game but its closer to sf than it is to mvc, bb, gg, mb, gbf, or any other dogshit anime fighter that you 3rd world roaches run to.
>>719581885Yeah I get that but how about literally ANYTHING better than a seemingly random assortment of numbers and letters.
>>719582352>Also Illaoi isn't smothering me in her pits or trying to break my head with her thighs, so it's already shit.In the Ruined King game Braum canonically rekts that islander amazon puss.
>>719577116The designs...Look at the designs...No appeal at all.
>>719606021Coolest and most original design Riot did in a long time desu. Then they immediately went back to drab, boring standard shit.
>>719602051While true the more important aspect is they managed to target and capture the right playerbase, securing for themselves a Blizzard like fanbase that will treat everything they do as if it descended from mount olympus itself. It's a real problem in todays market and Riot is one of the main offenders, preying on addicted youths.
Remember when people were constantly dickriding this going on about how it would save fighting games?
>>719579652They originally wanted to make Wild Rift on consoles but thought it was too hard, so they decided to make a fighting game instead for the console users.
Pretty much everything, being stuck in development for like ten fucking years was a big problem though.
>>719577116This roster is fucking terrible, it's so obvious they were told by riot to include the Arcane guys because that's the only thing that has had any positive reception for riot in years.But the roster is also terrible on the gameplay front, they're so samey it's not even funny, which adds to why no one is actually hyped for this other than youtubers delusionally thinking they'll get some riot money out of this.Marvel Tokon also killed a lot of the hype, not only did they have the same amount of characters at announcement compared to 2xkos 10 YEARS not even out of beta but that game has actual cool animation, actual energy and a cool artstyle, 2xko is basically generic corpo not-anime it looks cheap and bland. The name is also really stupid.
Frankly I'm surprised Jax isn't base roster, he seems like a no brainer. He's a funny weird character, but his hitboxes are human so he's not hard to implement
>>719612545>They made him look even more tryhard nowWHYHis whole schtick was that he was using a fucking light pole as his weapon
>>719612584Damn I havent played league in so long I didn't know they ruined him too lmao
>>719612669Really anon
>>719612905That looks like shit wtf
>>719577116I know there'll be more after launch but isn't 9 going to get boring in 2 weeks?
>>719578821>Almost half the game's roster will be in every single match>If it's unbalanced it will be the same halfKEK
>>719577116Was going to complain there is only 1 Noxian, but then noticed there isn't even 1 Demacian.
>>719577116>Whole appeal of the game is playing characters from LoL in a fighting game>Game only features 9 out of 171 championsThe roster isn't even big enough to fill a normal game of League of Legends. Boring selection aside nine characters is just too low for a tag fighter. If Braum is top tier at launch then Braum is at least the anchor for every team you're going to meet online and you'll probably need to use him too. No matter which characters they picked this is what's going to happen with only nine. If this game isn't up to at LEAST sixteen characters by the end of 2026 Riot can just take it behind the shed and kill it. Frankly I don't even think they can manage 4 new additions next year.
>>719606021Still would
>>719577116>10 characters on release>a fucking 2vs2 tag fighter
>>719592068>Endless redesigns and money>Land on a tag-fighter with a horrendous artstyle.Why weren't they just told the art style and genre from the start and put to work?
>>719577116>play fighting game made by riot >log in one day and find that your main has had a redesign >no longer a rushdown, now they are a zoner or some shit>no replacement on the roster for the moveset you were used to, just gone foreverYeah, no way in hell I'd play a riot fighting game.
>>719577116Literally too much time in the oven. Any advantage it would have had is gone now. It doesn’t really have a selling point compared to other fighters now beyond “2v2 4 players.”
>>719577116The best thing this can give us is getting fgc artists to draw Ahri
>>719577116I’m confused who the target audience even is. It’s suppose to be easy to pick up and play with no motions and so on. And yet there’s still ToD’s and stupidly abused assist combos/blockstrings. Tons of casual players already gush about MVC2 and it wasn’t because how easy it was or the absurd freedom to bullshit insanity. It’s because it had a huge fucking roster with a lot of unique characters to pick from. 10 characters doesnt fucking sell it to people
>>719615454Either I'm somehow magically missing all the art or LoL, despite being so big, has jackshit for good fanart
>>719577116Look at it, the artstyle is dogshit.
>>719615656The whole "motion controls are the biggest barrier to entry" meme has gone out of control to the point where some game devs even believe it. I genuinely believe that they genuinely believe they have made an approachable fighting game, not quite understanding that motion controls are not actually the barrier to entry people tend to say it is.
>>719602321>>719602770Another forced carpetmuncher btw
bro its fucking league lmao shitty theme shitty lore shitty everything
>>719577116They had precious few slots and put in shit heaps like Illaoi and Braum. Fucking Jinx in a fighting game. Blitzcrank? Not to mention the game itself is ass
>>719578821This. They really dropped the ball on this. They've made a shitton of money on League and they can't afford a bigger team to outsource this shit to? And you just fucking know every new character is going to be released as some paid DLC character.
>>719617227>logs into tekken 8>"There is no way I could play as Jim Kazamer because he's Kazuya's son!!!!"yea dude we're playing fgc for lore lmfao
>>719615672It really doesn't besides big names like Ahri and that's more because she's hot, most lol characters aren't that memorable
>>719584850What is that thing in the bottom right?
>>719581885>>719583281Miss those days.
>>719584850>>719584850Do NOT post the webm
>>719577116>no katarinainto the fucking garbage
>>719577116why does china force ugly black guys like "ekko" or whatever they areit's asking to fail.
>>719584850CIA CourtWhat's next, NSA server?
>>719577116>arcane jinx and vi>>719583281there was a time when they actually cared T_T>>719590218yeah, why would a lesbian and a noodle-haired negro become mascots of riot california, I wonder....
>>719577116damn yasuo is fucking hot
>>719577116>What went wrong?They spent time and resources on this project and not on the MMO.
>>719577116>over 10(?) years to make>DOGSHIT roster in a tag fighter>fucking league of legends>other fighters being released or shown that look way more interestingthe hunter x hunter game at least looked like fun kusoge
They retconed and deleted every character and piece of lore in legue of legends; the game isn't the same anymore. Its not the same game, it's just another game that shares the same name.All of the good designs got redesigned to be worse, woke and shit soulless slop.Look at Jax, look at vi, look at galio, look at all of the champions that got reworked. Poor bliztcranck.I fucking miss old league.
>>719620850Same.I'd love an option to play early league on a private server.
>>719590218Check get jinxed music video view count and tell me why did they add Jinx. Vi and Ekko are there because of Arcane although if we're looking for champions that can be easily translated into fighting games then Vi is out there with Lee Sin or Udyr.
>>719579652People did 15 years ago
>>719620850riot is the only company I can think of that has this business model of copying a good game design, filling it with original ideas, making it into good, somewhat unique game, releasing it and then commiting every update and change to absolutly fuck it up and make it as unappealing as possible. The way they constantly fuck up lol is a masterclass. Valorant is pretty much the same story.
>>719577116shit artstyle
>>719577116Took too long to release and nobody cares enough about it cause Marvel Tokon stole it's thunder cause it's Arc SysFunny to realize how incompetent Riot is, they failed to capitalize on Arcane cause 99% of the people that tried League cause of it dropped and moved on
>>719577116>Blitzcrank reveal todaylet's see what this nigger looks like, heard good things about him
>>719621375I was one of the earliest players and since 2016 they decided to cater to chinks and the game has suffered a slow rot. Like, everything is different, it's such a shame, the setting was good but it was kidnapped by Californian faggots and now... Here we are.
>>719584850A lotta loyalty for a hired VA
>>719602868that sort of fun is less "test your luck" and more "multiversus default mode"though the direction of the whole project has been schizophrenic from day -1, considering the combinaiton NO MOTION INPUTS RETARDS WELCOME and MARVEL'S BACK BAYBEE
>>719621167I did a survey riot anonymous sent to me about 6 years ago where they were doing market research for this game. Ekko was listed as one of the most popular champions in North America before arcane even came out.
>>719593594All of the hype died as soon as marvel Tokon showed it's face
>>719577116Asking what went right would be faster
>>719614709because riot wanted to be hands off with this project in good faith of the devs but what most people don't want to admit is that most devs are retarded and most game directors are even more retarded, and will endlessly spin their wheels if given the opportunity. i have no doubt riot decided to tighten the leash a year or two ago because they knew this was getting ridiculous and that's why this game is releasing soon
>What went wrong?They gave Ahri a black void because they're cowards.
>>719577116>Roster full of obvious picks and fan favorites>Aloy or whatever the fuck shes called out of nowhereWhy
>>719582903This wallpaper is iconic for all the wrong reasons lmfao
>>719584850>look at me I dyed my haire like the character I'm voice acting hehegas all western vas
>>719577116Ultimately this game has no actual identity it's just a hodgepodge of mechanics the devs like from other fighting games, tag because they like tag and to push a co-op mode many won't touch after launch, add in some of the blandest characters ever and you get a game people only cared about because it's riot and they thought it would bring tons of eSports money, but it's becoming clear that riot isn't gonna do this which caused a lot of the FGC to move on.Marvel Tokon also getting announced with more characters and an actual artstyle and clear gameplay identity truly buried it, but really it was dead when SF6 released
>>719579652They thought dota was getting a fighting game and they wanted to copy them again
