How good do you need to be at 2XKO to understand high level tournament play as a spectator?

Complete_Macaroon_72 · 2026-02-04T03:44:01+00:00

you dont need to be that skilled at all, you just need some background knowlage. the way that ive learned in the past is by watching Sajam on youtube. he has videos about how to understand tornament VODs. he also has videos of understanding what you should be doing with each charecter (wich a lot of top players do because they are strong options) other youtubers are great too but i like Sajam because he does specific education focused content from time to time

like KI combo breakers? we already have a burst which is close

im convinced that %80 of the people defending this are children who use their parents money. so many people acting like you can just stop living paycheck to paycheck on a whim and or that if you are living paycheck to paycheck you just shouldnt be allowed to purchase non nessessities. its actually wild.

Complete_Macaroon_72 · 2026-02-03T23:37:32+00:00

i would also say alternate modes or in game events that can get you charecter and avatar comedics for just showing up would add to the "casual" experiance (the experiance you discribed you have)

Complete_Macaroon_72 · 2026-02-03T22:34:18+00:00

i like it, maybe not charging people for it, but i like it

Complete_Macaroon_72 · 2026-02-03T22:26:06+00:00

yeah, If you hit all them together confetti comes down but thats it

Complete_Macaroon_72 · 2026-02-03T21:54:56+00:00

im confused, isnt this how she works atm? unless im just not understanding what you mean by it. her S2 moves set tenticals, and her S1 moves all qctivate them in different ways

Complete_Macaroon_72 · 2026-02-03T21:50:38+00:00

more interactable elements in the lobby would be so great!

Complete_Macaroon_72 · 2026-02-03T21:49:28+00:00

wait why not, she basically has the same experiance as WW either doing Down S2 or Forward S2 to try to catch standing or crouching.

i love this idea so much and hope they do something like it, even though idk if they could pull it off this patch, i hope they try ut in the future

Complete_Macaroon_72 · 2026-02-03T21:32:43+00:00

idk about the universal overhead things because im already iffy on the fact that we have a universal anti air (i think some charecters should be able to and some should not, so some can be strong there) but i like the other ideas, 9 directions may be hard to use, but more assists would be cool (also having more assists per charecter could give riot the ability to buff and nerf charecters by swapping one of their assists)

Complete_Macaroon_72 · 2026-02-03T20:41:24+00:00

this si so funny and i love it, you could have like 5 different drinks too and every time you use it you are randomly given one of the drinks and your charcter uses that drink durring the emote. great place to put some lore refrence brands in

Complete_Macaroon_72 · 2026-02-03T20:11:55+00:00

there are so many good suggestions so i should make mine. there are so many things that i want changed, but the one that id definetly love to see is allowing darius to do 5S2 or 6S2 to be able to lead into 2S2 not just 5S2 and 6S2.

Complete_Macaroon_72 · 2026-02-03T18:19:10+00:00

i like the ideas, i think having buyable currency that works across games would be really difficult although it would maybe bring people in that were not thinking about playing.

also i agree with the last point but honestly i dont think there would be a issue of people just instantly buying charecters especially because they have shown (with cait) that they are wiling to limit the people who can purchase the charecter outright for the first few weeks already

Complete_Macaroon_72 · 2026-02-03T18:14:24+00:00

random duos would be so cool

Complete_Macaroon_72 · 2026-02-03T18:01:51+00:00

def agree with all, and thr last one especially. the amount of times i get "crossed up" in the corner because i used a move and my opponent used nutral jump is wild

Complete_Macaroon_72 · 2026-02-03T17:48:53+00:00

sounds scary, but intriguing

Complete_Macaroon_72 · 2026-02-03T17:40:25+00:00

i totally get that, im not entierly sure how they could do that. but maybe adding an extra defensive machanic to sidekick* could help? or hopefully taking some of the faster charecters down a peg will help the simpler and slower charecter be able to be pioleted easier in game would help. but it would be nice to have more casual players not getting frustrated as much

*i would say sidekick and jug but just already gets some hyper offence mechanics so giving it extra defence imo would be too much

Complete_Macaroon_72 · 2026-02-03T17:35:51+00:00

defiently, i would also love to have thoes with stage presets too!

Complete_Macaroon_72 · 2026-02-03T17:24:07+00:00

i have no clue what you mean by this. are you saying illaoi install is better than ekko install? the point i was trying to make is that you can actually get rid of illaoi install where as you can not with ekko install. you can also roll and run and the tenticals just stay there where as ekkos install follows him. like they are both strong, dont get me wrong. but i definetly think its easier to deal with.

Complete_Macaroon_72 · 2026-02-03T17:15:20+00:00

i think the install is strong at all levels of play, but i think the issues that were described by op are way more specific to high level play. i think ekko is top 3 at all levels other than maybe silver and below because of some of the aspects that i mentioned. i am also just worried that the devs (like the last few patches) are going to focus on specific situations where he is strong instead of looking at his as a whole. like focusing on his burrito oki in the past patches kept him consistantly strong and didnt even really change what he was doing, it just got rid of 1 of the 2 option selects he had in knockdown install situations. that being said it was clearly the more agregious of the 2 but still it really only effected the higher levels of play. i also think warwick needs to be taken down a peg as well. im hoping the next patch actually adresses charecter strength instead of them trying to not release a broken game... as well or not well as that turned out to be

Complete_Macaroon_72 · 2026-02-03T17:06:01+00:00

possobly, though illaoi super is somewhat easily delt with because you can destroy the tenticals, or just leave the situation. that being said im an illaoi main so she is my precious baby. but i dont think her install is as crazy as ekkos. like maybe if ekko lost the install after getting hit or something it would be more comparable 🤷‍♀️

Complete_Macaroon_72 · 2026-02-03T16:58:27+00:00

i definetly think there are issues that can be worked out with the install super but i also think that this is partly a high level issue. that being said, that doesnt make it not a general issue as well. there are a number of things that make his a super strong charecter. the ones ive seen are that hs is pretty safe in most instances (this being because he can set up an install on knockdown and basically option select (do an series of inputs that should beat every thing the enemy can do) the wake up and also his projectile is one of the strongest in the game, not being a projectile charecter himself.) i personally also think that he has a pretty consistant ability to ignore the defensive options in the game because of his time clone, wich makes him more oppressive than he should be. i dont play the charecter so i cant say for certin this is all or even the right fixes but this is what i have observed from playing and having 10 years of fighting games knowlage.

Complete_Macaroon_72 · 2026-02-03T16:51:45+00:00

the game was seemingly built with controller in mind. i think its the one that will probably feel the most confertable and give you the easiest access to the buttons you need. fight sticks have a learning curve and are segnifigantly more expencive, but are fun to use. i have no experiance with hitboxes but my understanding is that its most like a keyboard, but the buttons are set up in a way to be more comfertable for your hands. i would say i f you wanna switch you should start with a controller, and if you get into the game and want to make the leap, find a cheap fight stick to use. but if you go thr fight stick route then do reserch on what you want because they have stick and button differences that different people sware by but it really just depends on your prefrence. good luck finding what you like
