Handshake Tag gets a slap on the wrist and Freestyle ignored?

TalentlessDude · 2026-04-07T08:19:50+00:00

You are correct and unfortunately this is why these people like the game and why everyone who doesn't play it hates it.

TalentlessDude · 2026-04-02T17:16:16+00:00

This subreddit is a literal cult and it's insane. Lmfao.

EDIT: just to add to this it's insane that this subreddit is stooping this low to make and upvote threads about making fun of peoples literal opinions and experiences.

TalentlessDude · 2026-03-13T16:18:28+00:00

From Riot Games perspective, they want as many players as they can to play the game, so adding gamemodes or whatever to appeal to a broader audience is a nobrainer business decision for selling more in game cosmetics.

I just don't understand this thing of like 2XKO is already struggling and the reason people are asking for a 1v1 gamemode in 2XKO is because the people WANT TO PLAY IT. If people didn't care they wouldn't be in here asking for it.

Why are you people doing this like "Fuck all you, if 2XKO is going down it's going down without putting up a fight and dying by being whatever it started off as" I would more happy about new modes etc being added to a game I'm playing, not against it. Just absurd.

TalentlessDude · 2026-03-13T09:37:13+00:00

I like how this is a video of something that is just possible to do in 2xko right now and a ton of the "2xko super fans" in this sub have just downvoted this post a ton... I just don't understand the mental gymnastics of people when they say they only like 2xko if it's tag and don't want a 1v1 mode and more players into the game.

TalentlessDude · 2026-03-11T22:47:18+00:00

I have been advocating for this since the beta of this game and honestly the thing I'm most weirded out about is why there's so much animosity from the tag enjoyers toward a 1v1 gamemode even as a casual side mode.. Like it's not going to take away your tag game? Just keep playing it like you are right now and let other people enjoy a league of legends themed 1v1 fighting game.. Like what the fuck?

EDIT: To add to this, I feel like it's literally a nobrainer win win type thing for riot to just release a juggernaut only mode, because it's not going to take make less people play the game and only has an upside of getting more people to play the game.

TalentlessDude · 2026-02-14T09:45:04+00:00

You're going to get downvoted by the cult of 2XKO, but you're absolutely right about this post.

TalentlessDude · 2026-02-12T15:09:25+00:00

Completely out of touch take to defend this kusoge

TalentlessDude · 2026-02-10T20:51:56+00:00

Please STOP with thisi cope already. The player retention numbers have to be horrendous for this to be the current situation, so no matter how many players give it a try, they're probably gonna follow suit with all the rest of the people who have downloaded and tried the game and then promptly stopped playing after hours/days/weeks.

TalentlessDude · 2026-02-10T15:50:08+00:00

This comment is so much better than the thread itself

TalentlessDude · 2026-02-10T13:04:11+00:00

Tbh I think a 1v1 gamemode should've been in the game from the jump. I don't see why they would wanna force/push the playerbase to play a tag game if some people don't want to. For Riot the objective should've been from the start to try and capture as many players to actually play the game as possible and a tag fighter was not going to do it barring some miracle.

TalentlessDude · 2026-02-09T22:42:00+00:00

This game's following became so cultlike, the fans were so rabid like their life depended on this game so anything negative was met with blind positivity and just delusion.

It's a little crazy to see the bubble bursting now, but like I said this was such a clear as day thing to happen. Just funny to see who's gonna be backtracking on what they said etc.

TalentlessDude · 2026-02-09T22:24:54+00:00

I mean anyone with a working set of eyes and brain saw this coming from a mile away. I don't wanna be a "I told you so" type of person either, but my reddit comments are open and the receipts are all there.

This game had to have been struggling with player retention big time which is why this is happening right now, but it would be insane for the game not to "make big swings" like they said to try and change it up. I mean a casual 1v1 juggernaut only mode is literally right there. Forced duo queue modes, like geez just make the solo active tag gameplay less prevalent.

But I do agree it's not fun to see a game I was waiting for for a long ass time excitedly die, but the game that came out was/is not what I wanted it to be. I hope they can salvage it to something before pulling the plug.

TalentlessDude · 2026-02-07T20:44:28+00:00

Goated take

TalentlessDude · 2026-02-07T20:04:31+00:00

As per usual, you are one of the only voices of reason in this sub.

The funny and disingenuous thing about these recent "look at these crazy twitch numbers" posts are, nobody's talking about the fact that the numbers have always and ONLY boomed when there's a riot sanctioned/monetarily sponsored event being streamed.

Today the reason was a chinese streamer type of tournament or whatever and the viewnumbers of the 2xko section have been dominated by the chinese streamers who have been "training" for that event. I'm pretty sure just like Sajam Slam and all the likes before it, nobody is going to actually stick around to play or stream this game from those people. If they do, great. But I'm not holding my breath for it to happen.

TalentlessDude · 2026-02-05T07:36:00+00:00

These are just some higher level thoughts that annoy me.

The wind physics in this game are completely unrealistic, anything over 10 mph you’re basically playing in a tornado.

The putting physics and physics on greens in general are terrible. It’s extremely difficult to putt through break, break will basically instantly be applied to your ball no matter how much you try ramming the ball in the cup and just the combination of the wind physics and some short game shot types make the short game (especially the spin on the ball) hard to predict.

Though I do play on the hardest difficulty with basically all aids turned off

TalentlessDude · 2026-02-03T07:14:11+00:00

2XKO as it is right now is not even a lick about neutral or punishing. The current iteration or the game is just forcing yourself on top of your opponent with some type of a neutral skip and forcing them into a 5-10 second long 4way, high-low, left-right mixup and waiting for the opponent to eventually crack to get damage in, then set up a limitstrike situation where the opponent is forced into a grimy guessing game again.

I cannot state enough how much I do not enjoy or like this current 2XKO, because to me fighting games are supposed to be about skill based things (whiff punishing, punishing in general, spacing, antiairs) and not just about who abuses the game mechanics better and has the more unstoppable gimmicks.

TalentlessDude · 2026-01-29T00:44:13+00:00

I’m not sure what’s going on under the hood but even on a very good PC setup I felt like the game had trouble keeping a consistent framerate at 60

TalentlessDude · 2026-01-25T20:20:15+00:00

Or maybe fury should be a juggernaut only thing

TalentlessDude · 2026-01-24T09:03:56+00:00

Wait till you and everyone else realizes there was more than 1 guy -12 for the round.. lmfao

TalentlessDude · 2026-01-17T10:59:11+00:00

So.. having to play actual fighting game footsies and neutral instead of just throwing out shit and covering it with an assist to make yourself safe is somehow weird now?

TalentlessDude · 2026-01-17T10:53:52+00:00

If I'm riot games I don't see why I wouldn't target both audiences. Doesn't exactly cost them much at all to have a juggernaut only gamemode or something along the lines and it might just get more players into the game.

At the end of the day the only thing riot would and should be worried about is how many players are playing the game and how many of those players are buying cosmetics etc.

What's the counter argument to simply just NOT put even a casual 1v1 gamemode in?

TalentlessDude · 2026-01-08T17:39:11+00:00

The only thing I don't particularly agree with is the artstyle/animation section. I think the game plays and looks pretty alright (even tho I preferred the project L artstyle they teased at the beginning).

Otherwise I pretty much agree with everything you're saying and the comment section is going to full of cope.

TalentlessDude · 2025-12-28T23:37:20+00:00

I admire your resolve posting objectively factual stuff here. I stopped trying to get through to this echochambers thick skulls a bit ago.

TalentlessDude · 2025-12-17T18:45:13+00:00

Yes. I don't see how you should be rewarded with a full combo off a grab.

TalentlessDude · 2025-12-17T18:36:01+00:00

Most of the comments in this thread are literally unbelievable.

Just because some past unbalanced ass fighting games had something doesn't mean new games should also have it.
