    This is the first of 4 interviews! I did one with the game Director, the Creative Director, and the Audio Director of the game. Let me know what you think, thanks gamers

    Great interview! Illaoi really gives me the feeling that I will soon be mentally associating all of these characters with their 2XKO versions, despite having played with them in League for up to a decade. The 2XKO team has done such a great job adapting and creating, and I can't wait to see what they have been cooking with the rest of the launch roster!

    Illaoi E being almost impossible to adapt into gameplay is the least surprising thing I've heard. Still glad to know they tried really hard to do it.

      Both the way she described and just adapting it directly seem to be pretty good ways to adapt it

      @@DoggyP00 The happy birthday idea sounds really close to what it is in League, but it also sounds unfun to play with and against because Illaoi's kit is defined by being a war of attrition with no hard CC, which is fundamentally at odds with FGs and hitstun.

      It's funny that she says "we tried it but it wasn't a very fun mechanic" because that's exactly what it feels like in League to me.

    Please interview more character designers. It's so cool to hear then talking about the challenges of translating a champ from League into a fighting game, and how they choose what stays, what goes and what they could add. I'm specially curious about how they will approach the more unique champions. Great interview.

    I want to see Singed, Orianna and Tahm Kench in 2XKO so bad
    They can have Singed be sort of like FANG where he can have dashes that leave a trail of poison behind so that he could command grab opponents and throw them into the poison
    Orianna could play kinda like a Menat or Viola archetype where she can use the ball to zone out opponents and shield herself or her ally
    Tahm Kench would be the tanky archetype, slow like a Juggernaut, that can eat either the ally to shield them from a potential KO while also giving them shield while inside Tahm Kench or HP back. He can also eat one of the opponent's characters forcing them to use only one character for a very small period of time
