why did 2xko flop?

No yordles in the roster

>>725037415
on the roster. the yordles would be on the roster, not in it

>>725037461
Fuck... Thanks eop king!

I am not playing a game where Teemo is S tier.

>>725037804
>deliberately, intentionally design the biggest nigger character in existence, on purpose
>make him top tier

>>725037415
they had teemo
but I know you meant femyordles

I remember when you retards said Valorant flopped too
Just wait, this time next year it'll have 10x more players than SF6

>>725039229

in the roster isn't wrong

No sexy femyordles on the roster. why would I want to play a game that doesn't have my waifu or fapbait?
even tekken know juri and reina sell copies just becasue they're sexy.

>>725039229
yeah, just like legends of runeterra
just like every riot forge game
how's that MMO coming along, btw?

>>725037247 (OP)
The roster is simply bad, not a single character I liked from League is in yet and based on who they've picked so far I doubt they ever will be.

>>725039665
The one I wanted was removed because her moveset was too powerful. Like, they freaking said that on their youtube channel as if it's not the easiest thing in the world to modify damage numbers.

>>725040063
how is that image "lust-provoking"?

I need to eat hairy yordle ass

ten year non-existent hype cycle into the most flaccid release of a tag game that's literally mechanically incomplete and unbalanced as all fuck as a result of having too many cooks in the kitchen overdesigning a small handful of characters, just in time to compete with even more fighting games coming out. nobody in their right mind should've hired this many FG veterans to design the game, it should have been two people at most (still stretching it) with a focused vision and striving for innovation instead of some ridiculous facsimile of existing things while being worse than all of them, but I guess that's what Riot is best at anyway
also no poppy/lulu

trying too hard to capture every fighting game audience instead of being its own thing turned it into a convoluted mess and the roster is dogshit

>>725037247 (OP)
There's hundreds of League characters but they keep shilling the same 5 characters.
Ever notice the downfall of League was when Ekko was released then spiraled worse when Illaoi came out? It's like they're Riot's personal children.

>>725041089
what fucking pisses me off with ekko so much is the fact that they keep trying to phase out the mohawk for the same zesty zoomer deadlock nigga haircut that every black character has now'
why are californians so obsessed with that haircut?
hell, fucking k'sante has it too
but no, ekko cannot have a fucking mohawk to go along with his opunk look. He NEEDS the niggercut

Why would it have succeeded?

>>725041273
>why are californians so obsessed with that haircut?
consider for a moment that it first appeared in a marvel movie
these people literally cannot go out of their way to find proper inspiration, at BEST it is because executives think its the only black haircut that exists

>>725040420
I didn't need to see that.

>>725040117
It makes my penis hard against my will. Stop raping me.

"This. So much this." -Charlie Kirk

My expectations for this game have 180'd the moment I actually tried playing it. It's definitely the most complex fighting game in over 10 years. And yes, I'm counting Melty and Undernight. It's fucking insane to actually feel excited to play a fighting game after all that time. And it's a fucking gay ass LoL title.
Between that and the fact that people who made EVO will be behind its esports efforts, I'm willing to wait for them to do something to Ekko and actually advertise the damn thing by the time S1 drops.

Of course, nu-fighting game players will never be willing to believe it has a chance because they were literal children when the last good fighting game was relevant, but they'll see it themselves. People used to say it was too big to flop, and I never believed it. But now I feel like it's too GOOD to flop.

I love the game but I hate how, if someone with an actual brain hits you, you have to sit there and watch them combo you for the next 30 minutes.
It's fun when am the one doing it, but if you're on the receiving end you might as well get your hands off the controller and start a youtube video on the second screen because you will be flying for a while.

>>725042405
is this some kind of reddit copypasta because i dont think anyone with a working brain cell thinks up back assist is complex

>>725042563
Having long combos comes with the territory of its subgenre. I never felt bad about those because they can always drop it (and this game is pretty demanding with execution), so you're always kinda ready to recover. However, they really have to do something about those super animations. Playing against Double Down ('s Syndrome) and watching combos with 4 supers is mortifying.

>>725037804
>CAREFUL WATCH OUT HOT STUFF BOT STUFF WATCH OUT WATCH OUT WATCH OUT CAREFUL HOT STUFF HOT STUFF HOT STUFF HOT STUFF WATCH OUT WATCH OUT CAREFUL
This is going to alienate more players than the actual moba.

>>725037247 (OP)
every fighting game flops, they're both too complex and too basic at the same time. it's a legacy genre that only appeals to martial arts addicted asians.

>>725037415
This, male yordles don't fucking count.

>>725042405
>its very complex
>1 button specials

>>725042679

The very nature of your complaints reveals that you don't know shit about genre. Of course, being the posers that you are, you are entirely incapable of understanding why.

>>725042405
>>725044703
Can you clarify what makes 2KXO complex, especially over FB fighters?
I dismissed it on the spot due to me being iffy on tag fighters

>>725042405
this game needs 2 characters a season for a LONG time, the roster needs to be expanded, 1 every 2-3 months is not gonna be enough to keep this game alive

>>725044703
i will 100-0 in any game from street fighter until now

>>725044194
She is pure sexooooo. Too bad i don't like to play lol but just nutting to her, the other fem yordl and zoe.

>>725039845
they pulled katarina? grim.

any of them would've been a great addition
the big one is Poppy

>>725044934
The general character power level is a head above every other game we have right now, which naturally leads to an increased number of unique interactions players have to be aware of. A.k.a. there's more shit than throws, meaties, couching mids, and green slimers happening every round. And that's BEFORE taking the tag system itself into account. The tag system that turns every viable team into these weird extended variations of puppet characters, with each team fuse working differently and requiring tons of awareness from both players. Every round has multiple instances with 4 characters on screen, each doing something unique, and players having freedom to extend it with whatever tool their fuses provide.
Like, it's not even a matter of opinions; it's the way this thing is intentionally built. This game can still be shit for a myriad of reasons, but it's objectively complex shit. Dumbing it all down to "hurr simple inputs" or "hurr jump back my time" makes it extremely obvious that you're a pretentious bitch who's just regurgitating (valid) complaints you heard online with no actual grasp of the full picture.

Riot is working on an extraction shooter set in the Valorant universe
Will it flop like 2xko?

>>725037247 (OP)
Ahri can't carry the roster on her own, the game has too many plates spinning for players to really enjoy any one thing, and it's made by Riot Games.

>>725041273
it's not enough that the RGB code for his skintone is 255, 255, 255, he also needs cornrows and rap music playing whenever he's on-screen so there can be no doubt that he's black.

>>725044934
It's pretty normal in terms of complexity for a tag fighter. The standard combos that do decent damage are like easy-medium difficulty, even without motions there's stuff that has execution checks like Vi charge knuckle and Yasuo needing to use specials out of stance. I'd say the offense is a lot like BBTAG where you get easybake sandwich mix from active tag especially with 2x assist or freestyle so it feels good to run your offense but I wouldn't say it's super deep since besides burst the defensive mechanics are really lacking. Without a bar you can't parry and you need assist off cooldown to pushblock. You'll get blown up if you commit to anything without being backed by assist too which can get boring. The balance is shit right now but I expect that from basically all tag fighters on release.

>>725039039
boys are fine too but Teemo is not my favorite

because character design only appeals to legit mentally ill

It'll have a gajillion players according to metrics but bizarrely long queue times despite this that nobody can ever adequately explain

>>725045817
>>725046997
Maybe it's just in the nature of tag fighters but keeping track of additional characters/elements on screen always put me off from the subgenre, but that's a me thing.
The tag system sounds a bit like the cross combo system from BBTag though and despite it's simplicity, I had some fun with that game. Might check the game out on my friend's PC, just wish it had some of my favorites on the roster

>>725047549
I think I still have more fun with BBTAG, cross combo is a lot more open ended compared to any of the tag mechanics in 2XKO outside of duos maybe, and I think having motions still feels better for what it's worth

>>725037247 (OP)
>Only like 9 characters on launch in a tag fighter
Same issue as with Skullgirls

Also Riot needs to fucking settle with their character designs and lore already. Stop making new iterations of Ekko, Jinx, Vi, etc. with everything they appear in

>>725047123
White people don't play these games.

>>725048291
>Stop making new iterations of Ekko, Jinx, Vi, etc. with everything they appear in
but if they dont, how will they keep up with contemporary trends to ensure that they remain marketable in every new product solution that they're utilized for

>>725047792
I appreciate your honesty anon, maybe 2KX0 will improve in the future so I'll check on it every now and then

>>725039845
they also said they didnt want to do yordles because of animation issues (nevermind that jojo ASB was already out and had iggy working against every character by the time they barely started development) and then added teemo anyway with the solution to the animations being to just not have the opponent in the cinematic animations for 99% of it

>>725045805
>the big one is Poppy
yes we know

>>725044703
I hit master 3 weeks ago and then stopped playing. They're right: neutral is stalling until you have assist and then doing a retarded long range move like yasuo jS1 or Illaoi 2S1 and cover it with assist. If they block you're plus, if you hit you get a huge combo, if you whiffed you just handshake and anti air them.
Even pros say that neutral is entirely focused around beating your enemy's assist call.
Anyone + Ekko with 2x Assist just means you win neutral unless you're a giga brainlet. Tournaments are offering money to people who don't pick Ekko.

>>725050585
>hahah isn't it wacky that literally every single player is using this character :)
I know the options are very limited but come on now

>>725052510
Don't worry, Ekko is gonna get a buff by the time the game goes gold for real just so you don't even need an assist

>>725050662
why

No blue yordle ass, no buy. Simple as.

>>725038032
>>725037804
riot LITERALLY knows teemo is annoying and they make him so by design. what the actual fuck is wrong with this company?

>>725047247
Because a single country (china) can turn any game into a profitable investment if you focus on them.
It's how we ended up with league pretty much dead, but kept entirely afloat with china's infinite playerbase.
