I wish avatars and Lobby would incorporate Runeterra IP. Maybe use Little Legends from TFT or Guardians from Legends of Runeterra for avatars, and make Arcade look like some place in Zaun or something.
The spectate system not forcing you into the game instead being like you're watching a stream that you can do while you wait for a match or just chill out in lobby is incredible, the fact that you can spectate open lobbies at all is great let alone having a spectate feature as fluid as that i'm really excited
For sure, I like it! Might actually use this Avatar lobby if they do stuff like this - unlike SF and T8 where I pretty much stopped after like a week. lol
Man that is legit one of the best things modern fighting games have brought in. Never underestimate the value of quick matchmaking and instant rematches. And seeya there brother!
Right?? it's wild they didn't show it sooner if this was always going to be in the Alpha! I like it, and it's definitely a reminder there is likely a ton going on behind the curtain they haven't mentioned at all. Makes my mind wonder a bit... lol
I didn't see this before but they have a Win Streak board! That is a dope system. I hope we get to see some massive streaks with lines of people trying to break them
So many great duo choices that are from the same region, OR even champs you would actually play in lane as duo in LoL! Cant wait for Thresh/ MF or Jinx/ Leona in 2xko. haha
Yea it's a great feature for sure! Especially if they are going to create this lobby system and try to make it a social hub makes a ton of sense to be able to just pop up the replays like this
Glad they have a duo training mode, im considerably more experienced than my friends in these games and I'll be able to help them get into FGs in the alpha lab
Agreed, that absolutely needed to be there so I'm glad it showed up! Great way to teach new players, but also essential to be able to lab together if ppl really are going to take 2v2 seriously
Lobbies were such an insane surprise reveal. Can't believe they've been able to keep that under wraps for so long without it getting out. I'm normally not a lobby enjoyer and just prefer a big fat matchmaking button but with duo play the idea is more appealing to me here.
It's shocking tbh! Not only did it not leak, but they also held it in for so long! I'm quite surprised there wasn't a huge reveal and showcase when Alpha lab was announced
It's everwhere now man, THIS is the future of fighting games!! haha I don't hate it personally but I definitely hope ppl can skin it and just directly matchmake from training mode if they don't wanna mess with it. Seems like SF and T8 you could skip it altogether if you wanted to
Ooh I wanna hear people yell out slurs all over my screen, take me back to when devs weren't scared of letting children get called all kinds of obscenities. We've had a distinct lack of n-word clips.
What i really want for the Release .... are special Intros where the characters come more alive and talk to each other. For example Ahri and Yasuo talking about their adventure would be so cool
Well. Yeah. Otherwise the battlepass will be done in a week and then people leave the game until next update. And by the time they come back, the lobby will now be filled with killers, just like every online fighting game before the COVID era. Which will discourage people from even trying the game out, and the killers will start looking around asking, "why aren't there more people?!"
I am so excited for this game! Anyway for us to instantly know if you're gonna be streaming the game? It might be early but a discord server for it would be nice!
Stroked for tomorrow! For now i'll probably ping my twitter when I go live x.com/BruiserMinion Not doing Discord quite yet but definitely want to in the future.
I've ben following this game since Rising Thunder. I was a 17 yo with no responsibilities and now I'm 24 wondering if I'll have enough free time to play if I get invited lol. Good luck everyone!
@@BruiserMinion Not to mention the Online Plays are where you're typically going to be a LOT more likely to find people using the Mechanics in unexpected ways. As well as better be able to figure out who needs a Nerf/Boost an why.
Nah during Alpha lab it'll be all over the place tbh! About to go live again though and Hoping to stream a bit ever day too while it's live so maybe catch you next time boss.
Yes indeed you are! I will be trying to stream as soon as the test is live, or if you would rather watch someone actually good at the game I imagine all the top creators and pros will be streaming as well.
Bro how r u so confused as to how lobbies work? Lobbies do not split the match making. The kinds of ppl who use lobbies want private matches/tournaments in other words have no affect on anyone else. Ranked/casual quese r obviously separate from the lobbies. Neither system is required to hinder the other, games aren't designed by dumb people. If your lobbies r laggy its obviously your hardware thats the problem when no one else has raised the complaint in the game
WTF, the avatars are so ugly! Right now the only ones less appealing are the Tekken 8 ones... which are quite similar. Why all avatars for these lobby areas are so... uncanny? They all look really dead. Even the Strive pixel blobs have more personality. Why almost all these lobies pretend to be arcades now? So much PTSD, man. Arcades were filthy, stinky and sad, the queues were too long or totally nonexistent, and the machines were always malfunctioning. Stop fantasising over nostalgia, please. There MUST be something more interesting than another arcade.
Bit of a curveball reveal today! Some great stuff in the fine details, but how are you guys feeling about the Avatars and Lobby itself?

We've made it :) been watching for about 2 years and its been a fun ride, crazy that we are finally about to get the game in our hands at home
Appreciate the longtime support, and great work with the combo vids btw! It's crazy to think after literal years it's finally almost time.
@@BruiserMinion Appreciate it, and thanks for all the content keeping my hype going !
@@Aeroezz Yall are both killing it!
I'm just glad spectating doesn't require 5 billion years to loading and synchronized, i'm gonna be on your stream.
Man that is legit one of the best things modern fighting games have brought in. Never underestimate the value of quick matchmaking and instant rematches. And seeya there brother!
I was not expecting an avatar lobby system, especially not for the alpha! Still looks slick and I like the amount of options.
Right?? it's wild they didn't show it sooner if this was always going to be in the Alpha! I like it, and it's definitely a reminder there is likely a ton going on behind the curtain they haven't mentioned at all. Makes my mind wonder a bit... lol
Good job Riot 👍👍👍
I didn't see this before but they have a Win Streak board! That is a dope system. I hope we get to see some massive streaks with lines of people trying to break them
Yea I did notice that! SF6 did too I think it's a fun way of making people wanna try to take out the top dog of the lobby, nice little addition
Love that lobby and art style for your characters
I think the style is clean and the animations looked surprisingly pretty smooth on them too!
Can't wait for the full roster to drop, Playing something like irelia, sett, zed or yone would be so cool. The game game has so much potential
So many great duo choices that are from the same region, OR even champs you would actually play in lane as duo in LoL! Cant wait for Thresh/ MF or Jinx/ Leona in 2xko. haha
As someone who isn't very good at fighting games but loves to watch them, I am going to spam the spectating system. Thanks for the update!
Yea it's a great feature for sure! Especially if they are going to create this lobby system and try to make it a social hub makes a ton of sense to be able to just pop up the replays like this
Oooh, I like art style shown when you mentioned Tekken 8's avatars.
Glad they have a duo training mode, im considerably more experienced than my friends in these games and I'll be able to help them get into FGs in the alpha lab
Agreed, that absolutely needed to be there so I'm glad it showed up! Great way to teach new players, but also essential to be able to lab together if ppl really are going to take 2v2 seriously
Can't wait to see the next characters that will be coming to the game
If there is secretly another new character added for the Alpha i'll lose my mind. lol

I didn't expect 2xko to have better quality than LoL
It does look clean! But to be fair... there are times I look at Wild Rift and cant believe that even it has some things better than LoL. haha
The gulity gear arcade rooms!
NOOO!
It's everwhere now man, THIS is the future of fighting games!! haha I don't hate it personally but I definitely hope ppl can skin it and just directly matchmake from training mode if they don't wanna mess with it. Seems like SF and T8 you could skip it altogether if you wanted to
@BruiserMinion
It is so pointless. I just want menus. Such a waste of resources and man power.
Watching your sets on TNS right now! Lets go!
I was terrible there! (and now) Lets gooooo!!!! haha
The Last Hit!
Just like The Last Drop from Arcane!
I did not catch that! Very nice.
God I hope the lobby has proximity chat, that'd be amazing. Also let us customize our private lobbies.
Both of these things would be amazing for very different reasons. lol

I think that has been confirmed actually! Characters should be getting unique intros, and yea always cool when fighting games do that well
I JUST saw the survey and completed it.
cant wait
Timestamps
00:00 - Intro

Appreciate you. 👍
You're just jelous of my manly machine!
I can't wait for the battle pass to be 95% avatar cosmetics yay!
First unlock BLUE hat, last unlock GOLD hat LETTTTS GOOOOOO!!
Well.
Yeah.

Man.... it's really wild when you stop and think how long it has actually been at this point. lol Hope you get to play though man!
Makes sense they don't care about Offline mode right now, since what they really need is Online Stress Testing and such
For sure! they really need to get online right and stress test all of this stuff so I get it for sure
@@BruiserMinion Not to mention the Online Plays are where you're typically going to be a LOT more likely to find people using the Mechanics in unexpected ways. As well as better be able to figure out who needs a Nerf/Boost an why.
I missed the stream earlier, woke up too late. Do you have a sched you follow?
Nah during Alpha lab it'll be all over the place tbh! About to go live again though and Hoping to stream a bit ever day too while it's live so maybe catch you next time boss.
What is the song you used in the background of the video? It sounds amazing!
It's the Piltover theme from the game! ua-cam.com/video/OvOoMmjwODI/v-deo.html
i will be begging for code. *salute*
Good luck boss. salute
What about champions as Avatars Riot? I want to play and look like Ahri. 🐱🐱🐱
Is anyone else having a problem with there code only console that comes up for me is PlayStation but I play on Xbox
Could they not port this kind of lobby to all riot games and keep the same avatar? Wouldnt it help revenues even more?
That is a very interesting idea and great point.
Are people allowed to stream the Alpha lab? I'd love to watch some
Yes indeed you are! I will be trying to stream as soon as the test is live, or if you would rather watch someone actually good at the game I imagine all the top creators and pros will be streaming as well.
@@BruiserMinion Thanks for the info, I'll check out your stream
Damn ps4 isnt that dead release it in ps4/5 its not that hard 😭😭
why the avatars i thought they are smarter than the others like we dont want this, we just want a normal matchmaking while in training
One thing doesnt affect the other. U can have both, Tekken 8 already does this
I thought u were smarter, u dont want to use lobbies then dont
@@neon-lake why to split the matchmaking ? just add 1 casual and 1 ranked, i dont need laggy hubs and wierd avatars

These anime avatar lobbies are tedious and cringe af.
ikr. hopefully they either make them look very cute OR very cool. the way they are rn is just weird cringe

Ill only accept the stupid lobby system if they allow voice chat. Let me talk shit to everyone in the lobby.
Incoming battle passes full of worthless avatar cosmetics 🤮
