Thus far, the only characters confirmed to be playable in 2XKO are Darius, Ekko, Ahri, Yasuo, Illaoi, Braum, Jinx, and Katarina. Being that 2XKO is a 2v2 team fighting game (as the name implies), there needs to be a lot more characters in order for players to properly express themselves.
Justin Wong recently released a video where he explained that he felt something was “missing” from the available archetypes in 2XKO from playing the beta. As such, he created a tier list (with help from his chat) that details which characters he thinks should join 2XKO’s roster.
The first character that Justin Wong decides on is Annie. In League of Legends, Annie has the ability to summon “Tibbers,” a giant teddy bear, to attack enemies with.
As such, Annie seems primed to be the perfect puppet archetype in 2XKO. This is not a playstyle that’s currently represented with the game’s current roster.
Wong is also hopeful that Ashe makes it in since she’d effectively be a take on Marvel vs. Capcom’s Hawkeye. In general, Wong just wants a strong zoning character to be in 2XKO.
Ultimately though, Wong arranges all the League of Legends champions into one of four different categories. Funnily enough, a sizeable part of this cast gets placed in the “please don’t invite” group.
