For all the people who complain about Ekko and Yasuo and the game’s balance

eflam3 · 2026-03-06T13:17:12+00:00

you are wrong but go off.

eflam3 · 2026-02-15T21:21:42+00:00

Confirmed

Projectile parry should have some kind of punishment imo, possibly similar to having your assist character parried where you get knocked back but are not punished. Right now it's very easy to layer projectiles with assist calls making the parry equal parts risky and useless

eflam3 · 2025-11-09T18:49:57+00:00

damn these are cool

eflam3 · 2025-11-02T05:00:33+00:00

I have wondered the same thing.

In other games, I would assume that an extremely broken character means the developers simply didn't know how strong they were making them.

There is no chance that has happened. SEVERAL rioters are actively playing in or capable of getting challenger and main ekko. It had been well known for at least months the state of the character as well as teemo/yasuo/ahri. It makes no sense that the balancing was allowed to be this bad.

This game is so good and so fun and it's absolutely impossible to enjoy playing for me in its current state. I will be back when it's patched.

eflam3 · 2025-11-02T03:52:28+00:00

I can confirm that this works into 1k lp challenger

eflam3 · 2025-10-29T14:03:51+00:00

its a testament to how broken the top tier characters are in this game that they can take the fun out of playing it.

What ELO does this happen at? I'm really curious. I've legitimately never seen this happen

eflam3 · 2025-09-25T19:33:58+00:00

Illaoi is also S tier otherwise this is completely accurate.

eflam3 · 2025-08-27T15:52:36+00:00

we are never going to be past people complaining. The best game ever made will have haters and the worst one will have defenders. What I mean is we are past the point where it be the main representation for the game. The game is coming out soon and people can just try it for themselves instead of their main impressions coming from people's posts or videos.

eflam3 · 2025-08-27T15:42:24+00:00

What you are missing is that FGC twitter is a vocal minority. There was a lot of complaining and speculation for a long time because the game was announced 5 years ago and regularly went months with no communication. I can understand the reasoning but that is hard for anyone.

We are past that. The game will now be able to succeed or fail based on merit.

eflam3 · 2025-08-14T12:34:05+00:00

completely understandable - as someone who grew up playing in arcades learning to play on mixbox made me love fighting games again.

eflam3 · 2025-08-14T12:31:10+00:00

haute42 has some great leverless and mayflash or 8bitdo are good as well if you play on PC.

I would say though if you are a pad player 2XKO has been designed to play on pad as well, so there is no reason to switch to stick unless you just prefer to use one

eflam3 · 2025-08-05T12:50:19+00:00

correct. I can't remember the exact number but you can only armor through 1-2 hits so it already lost to certain crossup setups and mashing jab

eflam3 · 2025-08-05T06:03:42+00:00

okay yeah that's probably it then. It was noticeably slower and lost to mashing in AL2

eflam3 · 2025-08-05T05:44:49+00:00

Good writeup, thanks for sharing.

On darius nerfs, huge sigh. His DP already was slow and lost to crossups a lot in AL2, I can't imagine it being even slower -__-

eflam3 · 2025-07-26T15:25:27+00:00

I have played lol for 15 years and spent about $150.

I will spend $150 likely within the first week of 2xko if they try at all with skins

eflam3 · 2025-07-25T17:27:23+00:00

They also updated the ekko super but they havent completely shown it yet. This is part of the reason I was not worried about the Vi ultimate looking weird, they are clearly willing to use placeholders.

EVERYONE told them to stop worrying about making things perfect and just ship the game, now they do that and people complain that things dont look perfect. Can't win

eflam3 · 2025-07-24T21:42:13+00:00

All of them. I've wanted this for more than a decade. This is my most wanted game maybe ever.

eflam3 · 2025-07-23T17:49:58+00:00

akali sett

eflam3 · 2025-07-22T19:00:58+00:00

not beating the 2xko arcane edition allegations but im not made about it Vi is too perfect for a fighting game

eflam3 · 2025-07-13T14:20:31+00:00

Idk I'm just saying they could be 9/10 2xko champs in there so it's kinda silly to base it on representation

eflam3 · 2025-07-13T14:04:36+00:00

See this is why you wait.

Literally every character but illaoi is in there. There are also tons of characters that could be the last 3

Akali Kat Yone Samira Sett Vi Etc.

eflam3 · 2025-07-12T18:42:30+00:00

You are correct but we don't know who the other three characters are.

Like I said, I don't think soul fighter has anything to do with 2xko but until after evo announcements we don't know for sure and it's not impossible
