One LoL champ has already been axed from 2XKO’s starting roster

Fans of the League of Legends assassin, Katarina, might be surprised to learn she won’t be joining the fight in 2XKO at launch. While an early teaser featuring Katarina against Jinx fueled speculation about her inclusion, during a recent State of the Game Panel at EVO, Game Director Shaun Rivera shared the sinister Blade won’t be among the roster of champions available at launch.

Rivera revealed that Katarina wasn’t always envisioned for a tag-team format. In the game’s early stages, when it was still a 1v1 fighter, Katarina was the champion mostly used to test out new skills and additions of new champions, making it feel like “only Katrina was playable,” he said. However, the transition to a 2v2 dynamic presented a challenge.
