I like the duo theory and I do think there’s a good chance of it, but I think if that is the case, Braum and Illaoi are meant to be duo partners. There’s the connection from the ruined king and Braum’s trailer has him coming in to save Illaoi. There’s also the fact that the other two pairs are romantic in nature, although Ekko and Jinx are more hinted at rather than canon.
I don’t see the romantic relationship between those two, it’s more like a complicated rivalry. Also there’s Darius who could have Kat as his intended duo, but I doubt she’d cheat on Garen. The paring that would make sense with Darius is Swain I think since they both lead Noxus. Edit: or Draven, I forgot about him
@@sspectre8217there is no romance between these two. Ekko had a crush on Jinx when they were kids. But then she startes talking to her guns. Yasou and Ahri are more likely the romantic duo.
@@Joi2212what are you talking about all the current characters have strong romantic implications with other champions, or for darious, he has a daughter.
@@AbsurdAsparagus as far as I know Darius had a daughter with a character that isn‘t a champion. Also I just talked about the currently revealed roster and add some information about Ekko‘s and Jinx‘s past.
@@AbsurdAsparagus I don’t know only Yasuo and Ahri are the likely couple. Ekko had a crush on Jinx before she went insane but that ship clearly got burned down. I do ship Braum and Illaoi but we don’t even know if Braum is actually attracted to her and I don’t see either of them abandoning their regions for good.
I think trying to force "pairs" when making these predictions is a bit of a misstep. Sure we already have some of them but I don't think that's the deciding factor for putting a champion in the game, specially for the base roster. You don't need to add Kalista just because you have Thresh. Or Draven just because you have Darius. You have to think about what each character brings to the game. They didn't put Braum just to pair him with Illaoi, they did it because he was a perfect fit. The duo dynamic is just a nice plus. There could also be characters that fit into multiple duos. So for example they could add Taliyah, who has a connection with Yasuo. That way Yasuo has a canon duo both with Ahri and with Taliyah. You don't need to add a whole other shuriman just for her. The same would apply to Jinx, Vi and Ekko, since they're all connected to eachother. I also don't think you should discount all Yordles automatically just because of their size. A lot of them have ways of working around it. Vex with Shadow, Rumble with his Mech, Kled with Skarl, etc.
I want this to have a massive roster with 60+ characters and eventually 100+ 😂 there's sooo many cool LoL characters to choose from, plus this is a tag assist game so we need more variety. I get bored very easily with small rosters. I'd love to see Wukong and Lee Sin in this game. I would pick characters who have the most badass martial art based fighting styles. Also anyone who just looks badass in general. Brand would also be interesting.
Ok intresting roster but (i think) ITS REALLY UNLIKELY that out of 12 characters 5 would be adc (MF, Ashe, DRAVEN!, Kalista and Jinx), i know that their role in leauge dosent technically mean anything in the game but to me it wouldnt be the best marketing move
I get what you're saying but at the same time I think all would play very differently with Kalista and Draven having a lot of close/mid range moves and Jinx having other forms of zoning besides projectiles
Not as base roster but I could see all of them in the game. MF would be the high mobility zoner that has projectiles that takes up parts of the screen that's hard to get to. Ashe would be the person who has a lot of hit stun on her arrows to allow high combo potential, Draven! being the mid range character similar to Ahri but more grounded, Kalista would be the archetype that detonate bombs like cinder from Killer Instinct or Bison in Street Fighter 6, and Jinx would be the gadget user.
I like the variety and overall safety design wise in this predict. Even if I love my dragon lady she needs the rework so bad that I'm willing to wait for a while for her.
Honestly I wouldn't give up hope for shyvanna, Her playstyle (known in fighting games as "Install" characters) are actually relatively popular. Plus with the (possible) rework in the way, maybe they are working on her kit alongside the rework and launch them around the same time. And tbh, the whole "inhumans would be hard to fit" I dont see as much for a valid argument, other games have made it work pretty well like MvC3's Shuma, Arakune in BlazBlue or the fuckin' bird with ice powers from Heritage For the Future, so a dragon (although shrinked in size or maybe half-transformed) its something I see them doing this type of character well
@@EzKay_PX I came to League as a fighting game player and chose my main based on who would be most likely to have an install in the fighting game and as a Sol main I of course chose Shyvana since she has a literal dragon install.
Can't wait to see the void and darkins someday! Aatrox got his sea hunter skin teased in the bilgewater map! If it goes down the legends of runeterra path, a couple of gamemodes like u.r.f. etc. Will pop up for testing, then the pve story and its own challenges! They could also make a emporium for stickers chromas,etc. Maybe a jukebox mode and map of the world of runeterra for players to interact with and get hyped for future champs! This game could also bring back the ultimate skinline and have: animated borders,intros, voicelines,effects when stricking/taking damage, a win/loss screen, maps,etc. Would be amazing to see DJ sona in action!
Great video! I hope some of the champions I play join 2XKO's roster at some point. Nautilus, Orianna, Volibear and Cho'gath. Hopefully this game lasts many years so most of champions can be added in 🙌🏻
Great List! However, missing the Classic fighting game "Weirdo" who doesn't fit in to any practical role and just does his own thing, who fits this in league? Bard.
First of all good video but here are some of my reactions to it: 1. Good Job on doing some pairing prediction for the launch roster 2.Mordekaiser can resize himself however he pleased and Sion the devs can resized him like the Juggernaut from MVC2 3. Excluding Thomas (Tahm) Kench is a crime 4. For Arcane reveals I wont be surprised if they reveal more than 1 champion (Jinx is a no brainer choice) So most likely the other choices after jinx are: Vi > Jayce/Caitlyn/Heimerdinger on Mech > Ambessa Medarda 5. If they didn't do Ambessa Medarda for the other Noxus champ, either Samira/Draven (For Tyler1 and his fans) 6. I still hold the thought of the roster size of 16, 2 from each Major Regions Demacia, Noxus, Freljord, Mt. Targon, Shurima. Bilgewater, Shadow Isles, PnZ but I would not be surprised if they add it late: Shurima and Targon 7. MF/Pyke to complete the BW pairing but I would not be surprised if those 2 will be added later and put GP instead 8. For Freljord, Nunu and Willump can do or mah boy Grangus (Gragas) but the no brainer part will be Udyr/Volibear 9. For Shadow Isles, Thresh is the number 1 pick, Viego/Elise for Unique mechanic 10. Demacia hmm the only intesresting ones are sylas and fiora, lux? Hmm nah we should assign a new waifu bait/another promo material for skins League has: Lux. MF, Ezreal, Kai'sa, Yone, Yasuo, Ahri Wild rift: Seraphine, Gwen, Yone, Yuumi, Kai'sa, Ezreal, Lux, Yasuo 11. The weird ones can fit in the launch roster: Rengar, Kha' zix, Shaco, Rek'sai, Kled, Rumble, Poppy, Vex So for the whole yapping, here's my prediction: 14 will be fair size for an initial lauch roster Darius, Ahri, Yasuo, Ekko, Illaoi, Braum|| Thresh, Vex/Azir, Pantheon, Vi, Neeko, Gangplank, Mordekaiser, Jayce/Caitlyn/Heimerdinger
this was a really good theory and really well edited! however, i think you missed out on diversity of in game roles in league. i think riot would want characters from every role to attract every playerbase in league. so far you have *5* ADCs, 2 tanks, 2 bruisers, 1 mage, 1 slayer, 1 assassin i think 5 adcs is definitely too much, that’s almost half the roster. i think the devs would also want a higher diversity of roles. you could have talon instead of draven for another assassin; that would also give AP assassin and AD assassin players a representative you could have lissandra instead of ashe for another mage; i think an enchanter would be another super interesting design avenue but it would probably be saved for DLC as that’s a pretty complicated archetype to tackle. lulu would work as a puppeteer for a handle city expansion teemo, vex, or veigar. milio would work as a defensive zoner and combo set up with qiyana in an ixtal expansion.
I loved the video, but I would like to add that exclusing in-humans is I think a little to brazen, monsters (including the specially wierd ones) have been done before pretty well and even in games which 2xko clearly took inspiration from. Shuma from MvC3 is the perfect example because form wise he's just goopier Velkoz and he was adapted amazingly Same goes for Amaterasu from MvC3 aswell and lets not forget Arakune from Blazblue who is a literal BAGFULL OF BEES and though he is frankly the wierdest mf on a game full of wierdos I think they wouldnt shy away from going pretty experimental when we already got Illaoi and Ekko, two characters with some already wild stuff for a fighting game. With that in mind, Cassio, Elise, Gnar, Zac, Rek'sai or even Rammus wouldnt be out of the question. And honestly, these are the champions that would make the game REALLY stand out, sure they are not as recognizable, but if you want a diverse roaster, a half Snake Medusa, a slime dude, a talking armadillo and whatever the hell Reksai is are pretty diverse XD
I really hope draven get's into the launch roster. Even tho I never play him in league his adoration mechanic and axe juggling is perfect for a fighting game, think of beowulf from skullgirls
for initial roster I'll keep 14 the same 2XKO set to released at 2025 and 31th Dec can still be 2025 So to fill more from you I'll copy the format and say Freljord : Lissandra Bilgewater : Miss Fortune Noxus : Riven Demacia : Lux and Vayne and to added more : Annie, Xayah+Rakan K/DA and Heartsteel members gonna be added early to keep interesting
If we analyze the fighters already in place, almost all of them have already appeared in another game in the Riot universe: Braum - Illaio - Yasuo - Ahri = Ruined King Ekko = Arcane *Only Darius can be considered for the first time, so I expect the other fighters to follow the same line. Therefore, my choices for the starting lineup are: -Viego = Ruined King -Jayce - Vi - Caitlyn - Jinx = Arcane -Nunu & Willump = Song of Nunu *Could add Pyke + Miss Fortune for Ruined King. This is their approach to attract players from the Riot universe to 2XKO.
I really hope we get Demacia (Garen especially) as our final region here, Darius needs a good rival and it would be a waste not to have all four continental Valoran regions in the game. If there's really gonna be so much hand-wringing about diversity there are plenty of options to offset it anyways (Rell, Samira, Pyke, Nilah, Lissandra, Xin Zhao, Lucian by technicality, etc.).
That's a good question, I'm not sure, I know characters take a long time to make but I'm not sure how long exactly... I think releasing champs in pairs would be super cool but that might not be sustainable/reasonable
Okay. I like your roster, am also kinda sure that we get character pairs, but I think 12 is just too low of a number and I also doubt MF, Ashe, Draven AND Kalista would all join the roster. I totally can see Draven, but I'm doubtful about the rest. If we assume the 12 champs (instead of 16, as I predict), my picks would be GP, Udyr and Draven as the 2nd representative for their regions and Lux and Sylas OR Fiora and Lux for Demacia
Here is my take and I am VERY confident. Firstly, they will NOT have 5 marksman type long range characters in launch roster, nobody would play the game if half of the characters were ranged pokers. Second, everyone forgets this will be a story game, and looking at the current locations and characters in the game, the story will take place after the events of Ruined King. This means confirmed characters are Miss Fortune, Thresh and Riven. Why? Yasuo goes to find Riven in noxus after the ruined king, there we fight against Darius and other noxian characters that are in the game. At least Darius. Ahri goes to the shadow isles back to the Vesani ruins before reuniting with Yasuo, Braum, Illaoi and Miss Fortune. Viego will be the bbeg of the story once again, sadly. Pyke's new list confirms this. Pyke will be there because Viego. Miss Fortune will have story events relating to her domination of Bilgewater and how Illaoi has to fight her to snap her out of her... evil mode caused by Viego's influence. Thresh is roaming runeterra after he was freed in ruined king. Hopefully not sentinels of light characters or story yet. I have no idea and cannot predict how piltover and zaun connects to this story.
Interesting theory, but I wouldn't be surprised if the game launched with no story mode at all (just classic Arcane) HOWEVER they could launch it later and still set it up earlier with characters and stages as you mentioned so maybe this is something I should consider if I ever make a follow up video, hm... 🤔
8:54 I think you’re on the money about reusing status effects. Persona 4 Arena does just that with some of its status effects/elements being used on more than one character
oh that's good to know, now the question is how long will it take for them to reuse an effect like will it be straight way or will we have to wait for a couple characters post launch before seeing them reusing a status effects 🤔
It is still in alpha and if im not mistaken it will get released late 2025 or early 2026 and if that is true then i see no excuse to not have many characters available at launch and to be honest if they have small roster at launch then the game will get boring as you will face the same characters over and over again
Pantheon, Udyr, Vi, camille, gragas, jax, rek'sai, and briar are all champions i think make so much sense to have in the game imo. I think you're worrying too much about the race of the characters that literally doesn't matter.
Yes, and I don't appeal to any logic I just, as a consumer, think that 12 is not enough. imagine hundreds of players playing the same 12 characters it's sounds funny. And I can't compare it to some Power Rangers game that was dead on release and no one knows it ever existed. Like do at least 18
not critizing your video, very well edited/produced, you also made a great job writing it! Just hope your predictions and expectations are wrong 🤣🤣😅! that's a roster that I would definitelly not be willing to risk installing vanguard for, and this game is not one that I personally would have a big fall of interest if I had to pick it up later on its lifetime! crossing fingers here 🤞🤞
@@twisted35we still gotta lot to wait a lot to find out. Hope the game come with 14 chars. Hoping to have at least 1 or 2 grapplers, tho ngl Sett is not the one that interests me the most, tho he is the most obvious pick for the archtype
Not necessarily, Lucian and Garen's ability icons were in the latest Rising Thunder update but that was so long ago I wouldn't consider it relevant anymore, and for Vi there's nothing besides a mural painted at Riot, I'm not even sure why people think that means anything
i hate this prediction but you probably gonna be right, ofc the poster characters are going to be the first one, personally i would like to see sett, kench, and lee sin..
I think doesn't makes sense to have adv in a fighting game, at least not so much. If there is need to choose champ from each region then they must choose champ who fit fighting games

Truly enjoyed this video dude, nice information you've gathered and great theories. Your videos seem underrated tbh
Thank you!
My wishlist for playable fighters: Warwick, Renekton, Volibear, Alistar, Rengar, Wukong, Annie, Blitzcrank, Vel'Koz, Fiddlesticks, Thresh, Cho' Gath, and Kayle
Based list 👌
Great video! I hope some of the champions I play join 2XKO's roster at some point. Nautilus, Orianna, Volibear and Cho'gath. Hopefully this game lasts many years so most of champions can be added in 🙌🏻
Tekken 7 is released 9 years ago and today people still play it and possibly will be for the next 5 years
Yo your editing is great! Subbed!
Great List! However, missing the Classic fighting game "Weirdo" who doesn't fit in to any practical role and just does his own thing, who fits this in league?
Bard.
God I hope I'm wrong and we actually get some niche and weird picks!! This is Riot so my hopes are low but I want to be wrong so bad
League has a lot of weirdos, but I'm not very hopeful that we'll see any in the launch roster, except maybe Blitzcrank.
Lots of weirdos in league. Shaco could be a good one
I don't think bard will be playable for the same reason as aurelion sol
First of all good video but here are some of my reactions to it:
1. Good Job on doing some pairing prediction for the launch roster
2.Mordekaiser can resize himself however he pleased and Sion the devs can resized him like the Juggernaut from MVC2
3. Excluding Thomas (Tahm) Kench is a crime

Demacia, Noxus, Freljord, Mt. Targon, Shurima. Bilgewater, Shadow Isles, PnZ but I would not be surprised if they add it late: Shurima and Targon
7. MF/Pyke to complete the BW pairing but I would not be surprised if those 2 will be added later and put GP instead
8. For Freljord, Nunu and Willump can do or mah boy Grangus (Gragas) but the no brainer part will be Udyr/Volibear
9. For Shadow Isles, Thresh is the number 1 pick, Viego/Elise for Unique mechanic
10. Demacia hmm the only intesresting ones are sylas and fiora, lux? Hmm nah we should assign a new waifu bait/another promo material for skins
League has: Lux. MF, Ezreal, Kai'sa, Yone, Yasuo, Ahri
Wild rift: Seraphine, Gwen, Yone, Yuumi, Kai'sa, Ezreal, Lux, Yasuo
11. The weird ones can fit in the launch roster:
Rengar, Kha' zix, Shaco, Rek'sai, Kled, Rumble, Poppy, Vex
So for the whole yapping, here's my prediction: 14 will be fair size for an initial lauch roster
Darius, Ahri, Yasuo, Ekko, Illaoi, Braum|| Thresh, Vex/Azir, Pantheon, Vi, Neeko, Gangplank, Mordekaiser, Jayce/Caitlyn/Heimerdinger
this was a really good theory and really well edited! however, i think you missed out on diversity of in game roles in league. i think riot would want characters from every role to attract every playerbase in league.
so far you have *5* ADCs, 2 tanks, 2 bruisers, 1 mage, 1 slayer, 1 assassin
i think 5 adcs is definitely too much, that’s almost half the roster. i think the devs would also want a higher diversity of roles.
you could have talon instead of draven for another assassin; that would also give AP assassin and AD assassin players a representative
you could have lissandra instead of ashe for another mage;
i think an enchanter would be another super interesting design avenue but it would probably be saved for DLC as that’s a pretty complicated archetype to tackle.
lulu would work as a puppeteer for a handle city expansion teemo, vex, or veigar. milio would work as a defensive zoner and combo set up with qiyana in an ixtal expansion.
gnar would work perfectly into 2xko as a stance fighter
Really good video. I like the prediction
Thank you!
I loved the video, but I would like to add that exclusing in-humans is I think a little to brazen, monsters (including the specially wierd ones) have been done before pretty well and even in games which 2xko clearly took inspiration from.
Shuma from MvC3 is the perfect example because form wise he's just goopier Velkoz and he was adapted amazingly
Same goes for Amaterasu from MvC3 aswell
and lets not forget Arakune from Blazblue who is a literal BAGFULL OF BEES and though he is frankly the wierdest mf on a game full of wierdos I think they wouldnt shy away from going pretty experimental when we already got Illaoi and Ekko, two characters with some already wild stuff for a fighting game.
With that in mind, Cassio, Elise, Gnar, Zac, Rek'sai or even Rammus wouldnt be out of the question. And honestly, these are the champions that would make the game REALLY stand out, sure they are not as recognizable, but if you want a diverse roaster, a half Snake Medusa, a slime dude, a talking armadillo and whatever the hell Reksai is are pretty diverse XD
I totally agree, this is Riot Games we're talking about so my expectations are very low but I really hope I'm wrong!
I really hope draven get's into the launch roster. Even tho I never play him in league his adoration mechanic and axe juggling is perfect for a fighting game, think of beowulf from skullgirls
Seeing how many characters Killer Instinct ended up with im so excitrd for this game, i hope they have the standard 4 character a year drop
for initial roster I'll keep 14 the same
2XKO set to released at 2025 and 31th Dec can still be 2025
So to fill more from you I'll copy the format and say
Freljord : Lissandra
Bilgewater : Miss Fortune
Noxus : Riven
Demacia : Lux and Vayne
and to added more : Annie, Xayah+Rakan
K/DA and Heartsteel members gonna be added early to keep interesting
If we analyze the fighters already in place, almost all of them have already appeared in another game in the Riot universe:
Braum - Illaio - Yasuo - Ahri = Ruined King
Ekko = Arcane
*Only Darius can be considered for the first time, so I expect the other fighters to follow the same line. Therefore, my choices for the starting lineup are:
-Viego = Ruined King
-Jayce - Vi - Caitlyn - Jinx = Arcane
-Nunu & Willump = Song of Nunu
*Could add Pyke + Miss Fortune for Ruined King.
This is their approach to attract players from the Riot universe to 2XKO.
I mean, if we're talking about pairs, if they want Targon, they HAVE to do Diana and Leona right? Or can a guy only dream
I’m hoping for either Udyr or Sett. My two favorite champions, plus those two and Lee Sin are like destined to be fighting game characters
Why not Sejuani or Lissandra for Freljord? You don't even need to include the boar unless for super attacks. I think they'd fit better than Ashe.
In regards to launch roster, I seem to remember that they mentioned it will have 14 on launch.
No dev has mentioned anything yet, people just been assuming numbers based on the website slots
I really hope we get Demacia (Garen especially) as our final region here, Darius needs a good rival and it would be a waste not to have all four continental Valoran regions in the game. If there's really gonna be so much hand-wringing about diversity there are plenty of options to offset it anyways (Rell, Samira, Pyke, Nilah, Lissandra, Xin Zhao, Lucian by technicality, etc.).
Do you think they'll drop duo champs each season or 1 by 1???
That's a good question, I'm not sure, I know characters take a long time to make but I'm not sure how long exactly... I think releasing champs in pairs would be super cool but that might not be sustainable/reasonable
the fighter I want in 2XKO is Lee Sin, Samira, Sett, Jhin, Viego and Evelynn, what do you think about my pick? is it nah or good
Pretty good choices, some of those are on my top 10 most wanted
How is no one talking about Azir?
Okay. I like your roster, am also kinda sure that we get character pairs, but I think 12 is just too low of a number and I also doubt MF, Ashe, Draven AND Kalista would all join the roster. I totally can see Draven, but I'm doubtful about the rest.
If we assume the 12 champs (instead of 16, as I predict), my picks would be GP, Udyr and Draven as the 2nd representative for their regions and Lux and Sylas OR Fiora and Lux for Demacia
Sylas would be sick, though he would be probably be more complex to program 🤔 not sure if they'll do it so early
Here is my take and I am VERY confident. Firstly, they will NOT have 5 marksman type long range characters in launch roster, nobody would play the game if half of the characters were ranged pokers.
Second, everyone forgets this will be a story game, and looking at the current locations and characters in the game, the story will take place after the events of Ruined King. This means confirmed characters are Miss Fortune, Thresh and Riven. Why?
Yasuo goes to find Riven in noxus after the ruined king, there we fight against Darius and other noxian characters that are in the game. At least Darius.
Ahri goes to the shadow isles back to the Vesani ruins before reuniting with Yasuo, Braum, Illaoi and Miss Fortune.
Viego will be the bbeg of the story once again, sadly. Pyke's new list confirms this.
Pyke will be there because Viego.
Miss Fortune will have story events relating to her domination of Bilgewater and how Illaoi has to fight her to snap her out of her... evil mode caused by Viego's influence.
Thresh is roaming runeterra after he was freed in ruined king.
Hopefully not sentinels of light characters or story yet.
I have no idea and cannot predict how piltover and zaun connects to this story.
Interesting theory, but I wouldn't be surprised if the game launched with no story mode at all (just classic Arcane) HOWEVER they could launch it later and still set it up earlier with characters and stages as you mentioned so maybe this is something I should consider if I ever make a follow up video, hm... 🤔
Ice cold take
great video! did you get a new mic?
Thank you! No not really, but I stopped using a noise cancelling tool so my voice might sound slightly different x)
we need LEE SIN! with the sagat costume
I dont see poppy being an issue. Braum is already 3x the size of ekko. Yordles need rep
give me draven
I don’t think size matters when pick characters until riot say something it’s a non issue.
Id love a paid story mode gor 2xko
12 characters is not a good number for a launch that generally is the best time to play a fighting game
I think we will have at least 1 ninja type character, Akali, Shen or Zed .
Snubbing riven for draven for the base release of a riot fighting game would be so insane 😂😂.
8:54 I think you’re on the money about reusing status effects. Persona 4 Arena does just that with some of its status effects/elements being used on more than one character
oh that's good to know, now the question is how long will it take for them to reuse an effect
like will it be straight way or will we have to wait for a couple characters post launch before seeing them reusing a status effects 🤔
I think on the website it looked like there’s room for 14.
twisted...as fate
I do think the slots are right. Like a base roster of 15 characters is not that much.
Believable predictions, but I hope you're wrong and they add some whackier characters. 🤞
Same! I hope they surprise us with some weird picks
I think thresh would be a sick character! But I don’t want him if he is his unbound version like from wild rift.
god please anything but the Unbound version
roster will prob be 12-14 and they better put sett or any martial artist make one i don't care i need one tho
It is still in alpha and if im not mistaken it will get released late 2025 or early 2026 and if that is true then i see no excuse to not have many characters available at launch and to be honest if they have small roster at launch then the game will get boring as you will face the same characters over and over again
I want to see Jack vs Sett here
For demacia its Garen Lux because siblings and Garen is just darius but spins more
I want Ezreal to be a zoner
Ok but Rumble is a perfect Yordle rep
i just want to see fiddlesticks or kindred in the game lol
Same, they would be sick
Pantheon, Udyr, Vi, camille, gragas, jax, rek'sai, and briar are all champions i think make so much sense to have in the game imo. I think you're worrying too much about the race of the characters that literally doesn't matter.
04:02
i just want evelynn PLEASE
Bro really made half the roster adcs 💀
betting on quinn lets go
I want Seraphine in
irelia needs to be in it
12 characters would be pathetic and disappointing
You think so? Seems pretty reasonable, especially if we get a new one every 2/3 months or so for 5+ years
Yes, and I don't appeal to any logic I just, as a consumer, think that 12 is not enough. imagine hundreds of players playing the same 12 characters it's sounds funny. And I can't compare it to some Power Rangers game that was dead on release and no one knows it ever existed. Like do at least 18
Your vid is great but i dont agree with your roster at all lmao that shit is way too safe
We're talking about Riot Games after all, but I agree with you, I really hope I'm wrong here x)
EVE AS MILEENA OR I AINT BUYING
not critizing your video, very well edited/produced, you also made a great job writing it!
Just hope your predictions and expectations are wrong 🤣🤣😅!
that's a roster that I would definitelly not be willing to risk installing vanguard for, and this game is not one that I personally would have a big fall of interest if I had to pick it up later on its lifetime! crossing fingers here 🤞🤞
Believe me I hope I'm wrong too, because besides the Shadow Isles champs, the new champs are super safe and not that interesting :')
@@twisted35we still gotta lot to wait a lot to find out.
Hope the game come with 14 chars. Hoping to have at least 1 or 2 grapplers, tho ngl Sett is not the one that interests me the most, tho he is the most obvious pick for the archtype
Tahm Kench pleaseeeee😭😭
Lucian garen vi have been seen in leaks
I hope Samira and Kalista will be in this game too soon, they are literally perfect for this
Not necessarily, Lucian and Garen's ability icons were in the latest Rising Thunder update but that was so long ago I wouldn't consider it relevant anymore, and for Vi there's nothing besides a mural painted at Riot, I'm not even sure why people think that means anything
i hate this prediction but you probably gonna be right, ofc the poster characters are going to be the first one,
personally i would like to see sett, kench, and lee sin..
Believe me I hope I'm wrong x)
I think doesn't makes sense to have adv in a fighting game, at least not so much. If there is need to choose champ from each region then they must choose champ who fit fighting games
Sorry what does "adv" mean?
@@twisted35 I meant adc
Oh then I disagree, fighting games have plenty of zoners including ones who use guns, bows and other ranged weapons, adcs make total sense
You know, Lee Sin exists right? Also putting all the nations to "just another white girl" is so hamburger syndrome 🤦
I mention Lee Sin in the video 🫶
I just don't want them to forget about Yorick Mori as a puppet character
That is just wild and a lame excuse in my opinion to why Katarina isn't gonna be on the base roster.
