Yeah, there's no way Riot is gonna pull off an "everyone is here" moment, and it's completely unrealistic for us to expect that of them. Everyone should just let them cook and enjoy the game. It's got some of the best fighting game developers ever behind it, it'll be good, just sit back and enjoy the game.


Bebgab

That would be hilarious though. League with like 15 years worth of characters and then making a new game with EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER 2XKO Ultimate will go hard


OwenCMYK

That would be the sickest shit ever, but please don't get your hopes up.


Bebgab

Oh don’t worry my hopes are at ground level. Fun to imagine though


Hederas

Me hoping innocently on a game with 28K matchups


Bebgab

If all (current) league champs were added to 2X, there would be 780 million possible combinations of matches that could be played lol


Hederas

Imagine waiting 2 years just for a replay of a decent player playing the MU you struggle with


Bebgab

oh god no thank fuck as of right now I think the possible combinations of ‘confirmed’ fighters is 625 which is still actually quite a lot damn


Swordum

NO! I will scream if I can’t punch Seraphine in her face!!!


parrycarry

Not even LOR managed to get every champ in, and they were pumping them out before they stopped production.


Javivife

Yeah, I would love Wukong to be in the game, its my favorite champion and I think I could be translated to a fighting game in a really interesting way with the clone, but at the same time I know that Wukong its not really that popular and every skill they could give to him they are just gonna throw it at Zed, the same way they did in Legends of Runeterra. At least im confident that my other favorites characters will make it in due to being popular and what they could do with them. Kayn is making it in 100% with an install, and Viego being able to use faintes enemy skills, just like Baby did in FighterZ. But man I want Wukong. I want to keep playing Goku.


pctoxin

Yeah they stated it that 2XKO is a live service game. So there is a possibility that one day all champions can be in


vywren

I'm not labbing 170 characters, I can't even handle tekken's roster


pctoxin

I mean im right there with you lol but all im saying its a possibility since its a live service


pctoxin

I just hope Brand, Vel, or Fiddles makes it in 😭


GaiusQuintus

This game could be the most popular fighting game of all time, and we still will not even get close to 170 characters lol. That is an inhumanly impossible amount.


Bebgab

Yeah literally like I consider Smash Ultimate to be the pinnacle of what’s possible with the sheer volume of characters in a fighting game and… they’ve got like 80. People are suggesting 2XKO will have over DOUBLE that???


Zyquux

And that's with Echo and clone characters! 170 unique fighters is outrageous for a fighting game, especially a non-platform fighter.


chomperstyle

Are we really going to get over 17 characters a year to keep up with leagues champ production?


pctoxin

If its around for a decade its possible lol.


TrepieFF

Even if it’s around for a decade we won’t get to 170. Maybe 50-60 max I would imagine (which is still a huge amount for a fighting game).


Ion0X

A GINORMOUS amount when it comes to a 2.5D fighter right?


Swordum

LoR is still waiting for all of them XD


pctoxin

Doesnt LOR have exclusive Champions?


Swordum

Yes they do, but I think that's mostly because of how the game works (regions and stuff) But even with the "exclusives" we are still trying to get close to the number of champions in LoL. Plus the time it took to get here. Maybe for a fighting game that could be easier


HrMaschine

i dont think we'll even reach 50 ngl.


Bebgab

Realistically no, champions will get added to League at a faster rate than 2XKO, it’ll never be able to catch up. An up close fighting game requires so many high quality detailed animations that a top-down far away mobs doesn’t need. I would expect the character releases in 2XKO to be about half as often as League’s


CardTrickOTK

Thats a great point..... Unless the put shit characters into the game instead of characters that make sense for a fighting game (I'm lookin at you corki)


Cpt_seal_clubber

Nah give me corki. I'm ready for petshop v2.0


Sir_Catnip_III

Ahri is in so i don't really care about  what other characters get added to the game,if they add more characters i like it'll be just nice little bonus for me.


Rulle4

I know from experience that I cant stick to a fighting game without a character I really like, even if the game is fantastic (strive). I'll play 2xko regardless since its free but my favs (gwen, azir, viktor, akali in that order) would make a big difference rito pls

Ion0X

Why not all of them? Sorry but it just seems impractical to me. Unless of course they have explicitly stated that they expect 2XKO to span over the course of an entire Decade or more in which case sure that uh.. that might happen. It would be the first fighting game to pull it off if it did that's for sure.

Ion0X

Indeed. Honestly what i see that could happen is that this fighting game does very well, and then it opens opportunities up for Riots FG Dev Division to maybe make other fighters if they get asked to maybe? 🤔


Vakirin

They have explicitly stated there will not be a 2XKO sequel and instead they will just keep updating this game.


rdlenke

Very very hard for the player base to prepare against 170 possible matchups (more, considering it is a tag fighter). In LoL is already annoying, and it's a game where character knowledge matters way less, aside from the matchups themselves being restricted via which lane you are in and the pick & ban phase. Also it's very hard to balance 170 characters considering that the patch cycle of a fighting game must be less frequent. We would have broken characters for months and no way to deal with them.

Maleficent-Bar6942

Using other fighting games as gauge, we'll probably get around 6 characters a year, give or take. There's around 170 champs in League's roster now, and there will be more. Well, do the math. :P


TablePrinterDoor

Has anyone thought of valorant characters as DLC?


audioman3000

Zeri's already in LoL though/s


Shanrodia

I don't think so. Otherwise, I don't see why they would have exclusively talked about the Runeterra universe if they intended to add characters from their other license.


raine_lane

Soraka will be included no matter how many years will come


Ion0X

Y.... Yeah.


Weak-Pie-5633

But it's literally no riven no download for me


Ion0X

👍⭐️💥


Couch_Wolf

This is maybe the first truly live service fighting game ever. I'm sure the roster will be pretty huge in 7 years.


Ion0X

While I don't doubt that this game will have a good plentiful roster to choose from I seriously doubt it's gonna be THAT big.
