Can eight characters ever be enough to make everyone happy? Amidst criticism, 2XKO dev reveals how it landed on its controversial launch roster


2XKO developers Shaun Rivera and Tom Cannon speak on the closed beta roster, who they picked the champs they have, and the reaction to this roster.

As time has moved on, more and more 'poster children' for League of Legends have made their way to the roster, leaving those with a hunger for freaky picks at the farther edges of the IP a tad concerned. Speaking to Eurogamer, both Cannon and Riviera dig into why the team picked the champs in the current roster, why the focus on 'poster child' champs over some beloved deep cuts, how big a part popularity of a champion played in their inclusion, and when players can expect some of the weirder picks form the LoL universe to make an appearance.
