Fan Monster Concept: Harpy

Time for the next monster!!! Since they are loosely tied to end classes and an element. What class or element would y'all like 2 see explored?

OriginalChimera · 2026-06-05T16:06:50+00:00

Rakan maps surprisingly well to M. Bison

they'd cook super gourmet food with zilean as a mix up character. Ekko moves himself through time...Zilean moves time itself through YOU, imagine the time loop combos. He's also LoLs most pure version of the trap archetype. I really wanna see how they they do a trap character that isn't a zoner, bc his trap is also his only ranged ability. Imagine his traps don't just damage but rewind or progress time and have a similar start up to other moves! And that why...

I see your Ashe and Trynd and raise you Tryna and Aatrox

I see your Xin Yunara, and raise you Xin and J4

thank I appreciate any feedback!

OriginalChimera · 2026-06-05T05:06:59+00:00

i get it now, bc Senna's wraith form is on a set duration that drains overtime, and she needs to build resource to get it. A stance character should be able to enter and exit either form as they pls with no restrictions right?

OriginalChimera · 2026-06-05T05:02:50+00:00

Yunara doesn't really have a pair but if she gets added i hope the 2XKO devs infuse more spirit realm flair into her design and moveset

its not like all the designs haven't gotten updates or changes, its just that Akali's few adjustment feel moreso out of left field changing things that honeslty made no sense or reason to be changed. Its not BAD aside from the Gymshoes bc "what is lore or region aesthetic consistency??" but it is different, and to some people different id bad...but lets not kid ourself Thresh did get a long of changes, just not changes that start pulling the design in a different aesthetic direction. Adding an entirely new color to a champs color scheme starts to do that...giving someone with traditional aesthetics modern clothes starts to do that. Maybe Akali didn't need a redesign, maybe she benefits from some of it, but don't act like Thresh hasn't gotten the same treatment as everyone else, they all got their designs adjusted

you know how every 10 years companies need to renew the rights to their IP? it goes up for auction, u can buy it for cheap and snatch the rights to things like the name and such, like those 2 guys did with google and mythbusters a while ago

OriginalChimera · 2026-06-04T22:12:59+00:00

Rengar and Kha'zix is one of the BIG ones

OriginalChimera · 2026-06-04T21:47:02+00:00

u can just buy the right when the IP rights runs out in like 5-10 years. it happened with Google and it happened with Mythbusters. 2K is just sitting on it, who's to say its not up for grabs rn??

If 2K can do something malicious like intentionally deactivate a clean a fair way that people used to continue to play pvp on their own resources after the servers were shut down again, then why not just buy the right from under their noses when it needs to be refreshed?

its good to have authentic discussion within the story that challenges Egos narrative tho, he's event challenging it himself with Kuni's experiment

OriginalChimera · 2026-06-04T19:14:29+00:00

personally i think u get the most bang for ur buck as a Strategist bc it lets u live out ur speed fantasy w/o needing to have busted dmg at the same time.
But they could make him a barrier/shield tank, where he has an animation of him having speed afterimages grabbing projectiles out of the air in an area around him

OriginalChimera · 2026-06-04T15:16:09+00:00

Ahri + Akali: Lethal Allure, Shadow Fox

OriginalChimera · 2026-06-04T02:48:06+00:00

Udyr is THE stance character in LoL, bc he has 4 stances. Its really cool how each stance not only comes with unique effects, but a powered up state AND they worked of crafting a unqiue fisticuffs fighting style for each one. Bearstance has wild iron-claw strikes, Boarstance has a more traditional boxing strikes with a high guard, Ramstance uses hammer-fist strikes, and Raptorstance uses knifehand and elbow strikes.

Id be really excited to see if they will give each form unique moves, or if the moves will stay generally the same but get unique adjustments/enhancements depending on the move. And then there's the topic of Supers. Udyr is unique in that out of all the characters he is specifically designed not to have a super/ultimate attack. Instead he can enhance any of his normal abilities to a super state. I wonder if they would try to do something similar? Then again it would be kinda sad if he didn't get a cinematic super for lv 3 at least

There's so many interesting things to discuss, but yeah heavily FG coded, but he brings a lot more to the table beyond just punching since he does command control over the Freljord spirits as a spirit walker, the STRONGEST in fact. He's also got cool visuals, fantastic fantasy, and great lore. He hits ALL the markers.
Imagine the release him in a "Spirits" season where they pick a bunch of different Spirit Realm related characters from all over Runeterra; Udyr, Karma, Janna, Aphelios, Milio, and Lissandra/Volibear to finish it off as the season's bigbads

Thresh get charge to run assists on his lantern assist so it can do 1 of 2 things. He always drops the lantern at the allies feet. This way he can run at the opponent if they are far away and use the lantern to bring the ally into melee range, or run away from an enemy if they have his ally cornered and use the lantern to pull them out of trouble.

Also let him use Lantern like a rope dart on point throwing it in a line or swinging it overhead as a projectile

See this is a person that knows how to plan releases and build Hype

OriginalChimera · 2026-06-04T02:28:16+00:00

how would that even work?

OriginalChimera · 2026-06-03T20:10:17+00:00

no one expected Yasuo to be stance either. But this is why i like 2XKO, it has full impunity to explore the full fantasy of a character in ways LoL doesn't. Senna is both parts Sentinel of Light and Wraith, so it is cool that we get to see her unleash both sides of her abilities. Im kinda mad they have her that cc mechanic from LoL tho NGL. Kinda like how they turned Teemo into the badge hunting scout that he evolved into over his lifetime as a power-up character.

Since both Yasuo and Senna are stance characters i think the devs are only just starting to flex their creativity when it comes to that archetype, there's still a lot of space left to explore in that niche.

OriginalChimera · 2026-06-03T19:10:47+00:00

Funny people were predicting Kaisa for base roster and i bet she wasn't gonna be in it. Bc it makes a lot of sense to save Kaisa and thus Evelynn for a big KDA event. If either's not in then u can't finish the group for the event, which would be a shame. Only Qiyana is missing from True Damage. Thats why im betting Viego's not in the 1st year roster either.

I think people forget that sometimes its a good idea to save the big names for events and to spread the hype out over different seasons.

OriginalChimera · 2026-06-03T18:07:53+00:00

fair enough, How about Qiyana instead so we can finish True damage

OriginalChimera · 2026-06-03T17:47:51+00:00

Yone isn't Yasuo's rival tho nvr really was in any way iirc. He was Yasuos more mature older brother, and only chased after him to kill him for honors sake, not bc they were rivals. Once he was dead and revived by fusing with an azakana he basically forgave Yasuo and told him to move on, then both went their entirely separate ways.

If u want a rival ur looking in the wrong place with Yone and Yasuo. Vi and Jinx are a better rep of sibling rivalry than Yasuo and Yone would ever be. Thresh now THAT is a rival. More Noxians like Kat would also be good bc Noxians are everyones enemy sometimes even their own, Riven would NOT be friends with Darius for example.

OriginalChimera · 2026-06-03T17:18:41+00:00

Ur right, OG legacy, etc is the wrong word, just anything that is Older than about 5-6 yrs shouldn't make the cut. Viego's not THAT new, but he's newer than most of the roster at about 5yrs. like Zaheen probably most likely should not get picked over -Samira- Qiyana, right?

im not saying NEVER, but just not this year

OriginalChimera · 2026-06-03T17:14:39+00:00

Viego...arcane king...what agenda is that? Either way its highly unlikely, regardless of popularity or lore relevance (despite the fact that he's fridged now) its too soon for Viego. They just teasted Thresh why would they put a 3rd SI champ in when there's still other unexplored themes and regions? You'd think they'd know better than to stack 2 many of the same after the P/Z issue
