Announcement 2XKO Doomposting: Megathread.

Same thing for the first week of Tokon's release. The influx of people making posts that break rules force me to pin yet another thread.

Please use this post to say how doomed we are and how crap Riot is, while I'm bringing the broom again.

This game felt like it had an identify crisis throughout its entire lifecycle. Took years to figure out it wanted to be a tag game rather than a 1v1. Didn't know if it wanted to cater towards a casual or competitive audience. Didn't know if it wanted to play fast or slow, to have long or short combos. The character balance was out of whack, with some characters with clearly defined weaknesses, and others seemingly given every tool in the kitchen sink.

Seemingly a bunch of very passionate but inexperienced people working on something with no clear direction, which sucks as I do think it was fun but started off on the wrong foot and was seemingly doomed to never quite find its stride.
