And the 10th playable character is Teemo. What a surprise.
Wonder how big they will make him. Its crazy that Jinx is as tall as Darius.
>>720279979Jinx is some kind of freak of nature.
>>720279979You can literally see how big he will be, retard
Dead on arrival
>>720278637Genuinely one of the worst rosters in any fighting game
>>720283541Was it so fucking hard to start with season 1+2?
Does Ahri has a grab where she succs you dry
>>720283639They spent 6+ years just getting the game to a closed beta with 9 characters, 3 of which need to be unlocked, it's pretty clear they fucked around and have done very little work
>>720283685No, you need to realize this isn't actually a league of legends fighting game, it's a generic tag fighter with league characters slapped on top of it
>>720283767Nah, I think they actually developed several characters and want to publish them in a monthly release. Just wait for their release roadmap.
>>720283541I mean, its not bad in choices really, Jinx was unavoidable for Arcane and Ekko was unavoidable because he is a nigger, which are the only 2 I would genuinely swap for more interesting picksThe problem is that 9 characters is fucking patheticThat said, I was expecting to not like the game and from the little I played yesterday night, its fun and has a lot of juice, however, beginner friendly? Why because it doesn't have motions? kekNoobs are going to get their asses thoroughly fucked
Is there any way to bypass Vanguard or is 2xko the a big nope for me?
>>720283836Depends reallyDarius, Illaoi, Braum, Blitz, Yasuo and Ekko are well adapted, but then the rest are just random shit that are just reminiscent of what they do in League
>>720284440I just disabled it from startup and don't even have to restart the computer when I open the game, I don't know if they changed that or what, but Vanguard doesn't run until I open a Riot game
>>720284491requiring kernel level ac for a fighting game is wildentirely unnecessary and a reason i wont touch this everill never give chinese access to my shit
>>720283541Where's Garen? How do you make a League fighter with Darius but not Garen?
>>720284646B-Tier Shill champ. Lux is A-Tier in the Shilling Tier List and will be featured first for Demacia.
>>720278637Only playing this trash if they add Vex + the Vex diaper skin
>>720284646No Garen, Lux, Kata or Ryze and Shitmo as the last first batch character is fucking wild
>>720284997Shitmo is part of the first 10 characters, anon
>>720285190>Shitmo as the last first batch character
>>720284328Definitely dead on arrival then. League is the most deluded fanbase of any game when it comes to skill and they are going to absolutely despise being humbled so badly. This is a fanbase that goes crazy over an Azir shuffle as if you can't learn it in a minute.
>>720285405Yeah, definitelyI do think it can find an audience in the FGC if anything out of it being free, with (hopefully) frequent new champ releases and fat prize pools
>>720285471But again it comes back to the issue of f2p games cannot survive off a small playerbase, they need a large casual playerbase to survive so if the league of legends audience doesn't come then 2xko has no future and certainly no big cash prizes
>>720285571Not really, it depends on maintenance costs, plus f2p games are maintained by whales anywaysAn FG doesn't need to bring 2M per month to be profitable, plus they can always put in non-ugly Miss Fortune or Sona for a boost
>>720279979he'll be a low health cheap ass keep away set up character, think VENOM from Guilty gear or Jack-O except his ass sets up exploding Mushrooms that nuke your health.
>>720283541Echo Yasuo and whoever the fuck is that stupid islander is are all duds.
>>720283541what a painfully generic selection of characters
>>720283541>No Lee Sin>No Sett>No Jax
>>720285713>Not reallyYes really >it depends on maintenance costsThey have dedicated servers for their netcode, costs are gonna add up>plus f2p games are maintained by whales anyways And where are the whales gonna come from? like 3 whales in the 1k average playerbase?>An FG doesn't need to bring 2M per month to be profitableThey spent nearly 10 years on this, Riot is gonna want money back ASAP and they killed a far more successful game in Runeterra because it didn't bring in more money, 2xko is not immune>plus they can always put in non-ugly Miss Fortune or Sona for a boostThat only works a few times and also developing them is just adding more cost to get back, they NEED a big casual audience, they NEED league of legends players to actually play the game because otherwise it is actually dead on arrival, the FGC can't support f2p games, most of them are cheapskates anyways
>>720283541make your own rostersi'll startmordekaiserlee sintrundleaatroxrengarzedmaster yinasuswarwickvolibear
>>720285981>Has no fucking idea how much a server costsNo more reading, fuck off
>>720286441Give a number of characters you dingus
>>72028650510, same as the initial roster
>>720286471You're the one that doesn't get how much servers can cost, not to mention further development costs, salaries and so on.Saying 2XKO needs a large playerbase isn't wrong, it's facts.
>>720278637Out of all the fucking yordles they chose the most boring dogshit one. It's like they went out of their way to make the most boring choices possible for an already lackluster roster. Braum and Illaoi are the only interesting ones but the only reason they are even in the game is because of the ruined kink game.
>>720286873Did you really doubt Shitmo would be in the game?
>>720283541>generic evil man>generic foxgirl>generic black guy with killmonger hair>generic japanese guy with katana>generic pacific islander woman>generic bald strong guy>generic punk girls>generic robotso this is the power... of the League of Legends...
>>720286441Kha'ZixShacoLuxSwainRenektonOrnnViegoGangplankWukongLulu
>>720286917Honestly I knew it was inevitable after the reveal of the terrible initial roster but goddamn, doesn't change how shit it is.
>>720287042Why did they even give Ekko the token nigger hair? Wasn't he enough of a token with his whole personality being le swag black teen? His mohawk looked better.
>>720287296Please look forward to looking forward to the next character being Jayce or Victor instead of Kata
>JaxYou retards do know that he got a redesign and reboot of his lore?
>>720278637Who is even playing fighting games in the big 2025? Like genuinely isn't this 100% gonna be a flop? Who cares? Is it just americans?

>>720286441This roster is complete fucking garbage, I don't even play league that much anymore but I'd do something that has actually cool or popular characters or waifus, they picked the most boring ahh roster that nobody except for arcane fags cares about, no wonder the game's dying and esports is fucking dead everywhere outside of cn.>Yasuo>Zed>Draven>Viego>Sylas>Mordekaiser>Sion>Jax>Lee Sin>Ahri>Akali>Irelia>Lux>Kai'sa>Evelyn>Katarina
>>720287394Doesn't matter, to me he's always going to be the champion forced to fight with a lamp post, fishing rod or rubber chicken to make matches fair
>>720287569They went for the Arcane audience again because it worked really well for league (note the sarcasm)
>>720287805Sucks to suck then because he won't be one in this one.
>>720287394Man I hadn't read thatWhy couldn't they just keep the>I fight with a lamppost because otherwise I would fucking disintegrate youthing, the rest is fine, whatever, but keep that
>>720285959That's just League.
>>720278637Who's the elf? I don't recognize him, is he a new champion in the main game?
>>720289650These are skins, thats yasuo
>>720289650Yasuo
>>720283541>computer, give me diverse, safe, medieval fantasy mixed with steampunk designs that won't offend anyone. And make it extra lame
>>720287504I do love that in every single 2xko thread since blitz got announced the cast has consistently by several anons been described in the vein of "generic losers and Blitzkrank" he really is the one notable character amongst actual white voids
>>720293293now it's generic losers plus blitzcrank and shillmo!
>>720287504As someone who played lol in 2013 and never again you are correctGuinsoo shut down his dota forum and stole all the designs posted on it
>>720293293>robo from chrono triggeryeah so unique
>>720286441I don't play this shit genre to know about the characters, all I care about is hot chicks and maybe some characters from that Arcane cartoon which was alright iirc.
>>720278637>people are loving 2xko now suddenlyTokon bros.. Is it over for us!?
>>720293293Him and I guess now Teemo are the only characters from the beta, which to me are the definitive League characters before they started designing for China.
>>720278637>people suddenly love the game after shitting on it nonstopWhy are you "people" so damn fickle?
>>720297546Because Arcsys's marvelslop game is even bigger dogshit than the riot one
>>720283541DEI pick the roster
10 years for 10 characters. LOL
Never played league. Why is Jynx so annoying and so popular at the same time?
>>720298064Harley Quinn ripoffPeople love flat-chest + crazy whoreAnd then Arcane came and Jinx is a schizo character who wants to act like a punk girl (pandering to Arcane fans) and a HQ clone (pandering to boomer fans) at the same time.
>>720278637I wish i had friends to play duo
>>720278637>No Annie Dead on arrival
>>720298513I'll be your friend. :)
>>720297546>game becomes playable>opinion on it changes
Why is the launcher so fucking bigIt's already windowed but you can't make it smaller either
idgaf about this game since it won't run on linux due to vanguard anti cheat
They have hundreds of characters with more potential for a Fighting Game and they chose the lamest options.
>>720297546>people suddenly love the game after shitting on it nonstopwhere? you mean streamers, pros and youtubers? they were always gonna suck riots dick no matter how bad it turned out.
>>720300238can't be helped, unironically. Blame indians.
>>720297546The game is actually out and you can play it, surprise surprise all the people who were bitching about how they can't play it are now no longer complaining.
>>720301017the bitching will return after "shiny new thing" wears off and they're forced to consider the mechanics and gameplay
Give it a month before we start pulling out the "FGC loves the game now!" because a lot of people are just caught up in release hype and people always praise a new game
>>720283541The fact that they have like 200 characters of all shapes and sizes but they chose all humanoid characters except Blitzcrank is a fucking shame. That roster is so safe that I'm not even interested anymore...Where the fuck is Jax?Where the fuck is Sett?Where the fuck is Warwick?Where the fuck is Aatrox?Where the fuck is Briar, Mundo, Evelynn, Jhin, Modekaiser, Poppy, Yorick, and Zac ?They chose the blandest shit
>>720301256Yeah but that's every fighting game, people will always bitch about them. I'm guessing it'll be about freestyle fuse again and all the stupid handshake stuff.
>>720301337we at Riot heard you and we understand what you want>adds another Arcane character
>>720301257>people always praise a new gameDidn't happen for SNK.Didn't happen for T8Didn't happen for SF6Didn't happen for StriveDidn't happen for UNI2
>>720301417me when I'm trying to do historial revisionism with people that actually were there during the releases
>>720301337>>720301396They are unironically adding Arcane shit first, according to datamining.
>>720301417>Didn't happen for SNK.But it didThey kept shilling for that garbage CotW game until they figured it out that it just sucks
>>720301585makes sense it is literally the only League of Legends thing that has gotten universal praise, but even thats not even true because season 2 came out, but still makes sense if you want to try and attract casuals you go for the super popular show, just a shame it means there will be zero actual interesting characters in this already lacking roster
>>720301585So expect Jayce and Cait aka more basic bitch characters. We need Fiddlesticks
Anyone willing to give an invite?
>>720301561Yeah bro, people weren't shitting on SNK for their usual ugly games.People weren't shitting on T8 heat because of heatPeople weren't shitting on SF6 for Drive RushPeople weren't shitting on Strive for casualisationPeople weren't shitting on UNI2 for it's busted PC port.>>720301739Literally nobody shilled CoTW, especially after the two guest characters in the base roster were revealed
>>720301979>Literally nobody shilled CoTW, especially after the two guest characters in the base roster were revealedMan, I didn't know people were straight up using bots to post here
>>720301979>thing people bitch about now is something that was bitched about at launchall of those games with the exception of UNI2 were very liked by the FGC at launched, and UNI2 was the just the PC port.After people actually played them they found things to complain about, which will happen to 2xko too, its just in its "it released" honeymoon phase
>>720302027>Handful of the usual SNK dicksuckers doing the expected means people were shilling for the gameAre you retarded?
>>720301585inb4 they add Arcane Warwick instead of LoL WarwickId be so fucking pissed
>>720302294You weren't there, you probably get all your info from streamers and youtubers. People were complaining about Heat and Drive Rush during T8 and SF6's beta.
>>720302806>You weren't thereI was, the games were received well and majority of people had a blast and enjoyed them>People were complaining about Heat and Drive Rush during T8 and SF6's beta.some and it wasn't a widespread thing, they were not the dominant voices at any of those games release.the online FGC are also filled with tons of actual bitches who will bitch and moan about everything with enough time
Aside from the boring DEI characters, the game looks and plays like ass, yet people are still chimping out like nigs with Jordans at this shit game
>>720303646give it a few weeks and they'll change their tunes once it really hits that theres only 9 characters and not much to the game
>>720303257Hype and new game smell always drown out criticism, but that doesn't mean that people weren't bitching. Hell, UNI2 fucking died in record time because of how shit the PC port was
>Came out less than 24 hours ago>Already deadHoly shit
>>720283541Fizz would be so cool in a fighting game
>>720303646>yet people are still chimping out like nigs with Jordans at this shit gameWhere?
>>720301585source?
>>720304341oh yeah lets see what the most popular fg streamers(that you cant watch since you arent japanese) play..
>>720306310his troon ass
>>720304341What do you expect? It's a fighting game
>>720279979jinx got juiced up with shimmer
>>720306651>that you cant watch since you arent japaneseyeah just like how you cant watch anime because its japanese
>>720306828and it's not even open to everyone, it's closed beta. That guy is a faggot
>>720304341I get the feeling that 2xko is mainly pandering to an American audience who are not home right now except for a few neets, got no real proof of it it's just a feeling I get looking at it online, basically most people that have hyped this up and are excited about it has mostly been american in my experiences.
>>720285405actually league pros are usually better at other games than other games's "pros"imaqtpie, a washed up, retired league pro used to shit on dota 2 pros, csgo pros on some other games's tournament and it wasnt even closeThat being said, fighting games player base is a different beast altogether, the most niceh and autistic kind actually, so we will see
>>720307042moba and shooter skills are very different skillset from fighting games, mouse skills has zero carry over, only thing that I feel can carry over is CS positioning to the idea of footsiesBut any neet that calls themselves "pro" can spend all day praticing
who the fuck want to invests in fighting games in fucking 2025its a niche and dead as fuck genre, carried by decades old brand names and nostalgia.you dont break in to FG space, you just dont.you either already in it or you are not.And the playerbase, they are like fucking zombies gnawing on the old corpses while waiting for new corpse(new game of the same series) to comes out.
>>720283541THERES NO WEIRD CHARACTERS where the fuck is jhin, rengar, WW, K6, mundo,neeko,brair??? this shit is gana decline hard just leauge cuz they wana make normal as champs that all look interchangeable
Jinxbros I need some assistance, when and how the hell do you use the monke and the chompers?Also need some combos, as a retard all I have found is xxx > launcher > j.m > j.h > s1 > either s2 or super 2
>>720283541And the redesigns are the cherry on top of the shit cake. Vi and Jinx did not deserve that shit
>>720307795They both look better than their Arcane looks which is what these are based on but yeah I miss the stupidly disproportionate ViShe needs a better haircut and even bigger gauntlets
These guys chose to use the same 2 buttons for 10 different moves to make it ''accesible'' to normies. And then you have 3 frame gap to input basic combos.What the fuck? Do they really think they can build a sustainable playerbase around ppl that spam one button? I highly doubt anyone can have fun for more than 2 hours playing like that.
>>720307941Yeah 2XKO Vi looks much better than le dike sassy bitch face Arcane Vi
>>720308097they are retarded for making a new fighting game in the first place.no matter how good the game is, it will dies. Look at new IP FG. Even the one make by Arc System. If your game's name wasnt street fighter or tekken or virtual fighter or dead or alive you are going to die. No matter what.Even the old guards like DOA and Soul calibur kicked the bucket.this genre is SUPER NICHE.
>>720307285>who the fuck want to invests in fighting games in fucking 2025Riot invested in 2016 and got horribly late to the party.FG are also the last esport that had experience anything close to growth in recent years (not now though lmao)
>>720307042>actually league pros are usually better at other games than other games's "pros"Are you like 12 years old
when this old generations born in 80s/90 full of nostalgia die, the fighting game genre will die for good. I dont see zoomer and alpha playing this shit long term.
>>720308610gonna be a long time then. boomers single handedly saves the cruise ship industry back then
Naming it 2KXO is why it will fail , zero indication its even related to league of legends by name
>>720308690yeah it will be long but it will be funny watching the old ass gamers compete against each other in fighting game. And it will only get worse and worse as they age, lol
oh yeah forgot to mention but other than being niche the FG genre is also has high requirements for it's playerbase. Fast, agility fingers, durable wrists. You can get by in other genres even if you are old and slow but you just cant do it, in this genre.Super niche and picky.
>>720278637Riot should host a tourney where a fighting game pro teams with a league pro.Could be fun.
>>720308709League of Fighters was there, or Runeterra Rumble too
I don't know what it is, but something about the League of Legends property just puts me off. I've never even played LoL, but the property is enough for me to have zero interest in this game even though I usually at least have a passing interest in upcoming fighting games.
i dont understand who this game is for. its incomprehensible for beginners but too simple for pros
>>720308610nah zoomer and alphas are exactly the types to want to play fighting games, they're just gonna make Mortal Kombat clones, and maybe some SF6 and Strive inspired stuff
remember Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising? it was pretty good game all thing considered but its still died after all.yeah FG as a genre is so fucking deathmaybe when VR tech advances to the point likes in that black mirror episode, only then can we revive.
>>720309216>but something about the League of Legends property just puts me off.because it's one of the most inauthentic fictional worlds ever made, made from trying to tie together a bunch of early 2010 dudes shitty writings for characters that had the design progress of "hey this is cool / sexy" with no actual plan for lore.
>>720307941hell no, arcane were downgrades but this is far worse, vi looks gigadyke and jinx is the final boss of fent addicts
>>720309384you cant really blame them. League was just a throw away project for the riot's founders. It was there to help them build portfolio and experience before branching out. But somehow it got big. Too big. And they got stuck with it.Its likes you open a lemonade stand to fund your college and some how your stand become a 3 star michelin stand and now you are stuck running a lemonade stand instead of finishing college
>>720309490Vi is a gigadyke now and Jinx always looked like a crackheadHell, Jinx unironically looks cleaner and healthier than the game look
>>720307605Nobody here actually plays bro...
>>720283541Still waiting on them to add muslim champs like draven, malzahar, kassadin and jax.
please tell me this game isn't good
>>720307605You can doLauncher > jumping light > jumping medium > jumping down heavy> light > medium> launcher > super
>>720313956It could be good but it has garbage controls and has 0 impact. The game overall is clunky AF, returning to GG.Feels like every character is hitting a sexdoll with a box of Legos.
>>720278637Teemo is the only character i recognize in that picture

I played Esports in college back when league was big. We had a league guy who we could trust to farm nearly perfectly and position while our dota guys all had to be trained out of rotations because they'd be ganking mid at level 3 and trying to actually play the game like it had actual strategies you could try. I was like, 5.5K at the time (I think pros were 6.5-7K) and all I remember from my brief stint as a position 5 was when I tried to block the creep wave and I swear to god the motherfuckers like, speed up to make it impossible.
>>720309365It wasn't it was a boring piece of shit designed to be gacha babies 1st fighter that people rightfully ignored for being so lame compared to anything else.
>>720320428>Could've made a fun goofy smash brawlerRiot was actually working on one, but it got axed after Multiversus fell apart.

>3v3 game>10 charactersThis is worse than Skullgirls launching with 8 characters.
>>720325045it's 2v2but yes the roster is my only real complaint, I really hope they've hunkered down and have been working exclusively on characters for the past couple months and they just shit out like 8 of them really fast.
>>720325045at least Skullgirls can be excused by being a kickstarted indie fighter, Riot wipes its ass with thousand dollar bills so theres no excuse for just 9 characters
>>720283541the more I look at this roster the stranger it gets, so obviously Ahri is in because she is the one character people actually know from LoL, then we got the Arcane Trio of Ekko, Jinx and Vi, makes sense Arcane is literally the only successful and critically acclaimed thing they've ever done and has tons of potential players (also why they made 2 of them unlocks)Blitzcrank is just a shoein for the grappler, but Darius and Yasuno, yeah they're popular picks I guess but they're also really fucking boring.Then we come to the last two, who I honestly can only guess are dev picks? like I can get why someone would like Braum, he got that big guy energy, but Illaoi? there was seriously someone on the team that said "Yes! This is the character to make part of the starting roster!" really? Illaoi? do even league players know who Illaoi is? oh well at least its better than a shitty original dog reindeer mutant taking up a character slot I guess.
