Those of you who have been paying attention to 2XKO know that a good number of the developers got laid off recently, about half (around 80) in total. Shortly after this, an artist on the website “ArtStation” would post a screen showing skins they made which revealed Akali within the background; a screen the official 2XKO later tweeted as a “teaser”. A bit later, based upon the stage, other fans theory-crafted that Senna as a champion was inevitable.
This information above was taken from Leffen’s video detailing the leaks, to which you can check out here. HUGE 2XKO Character Leaks
2XKO made an official twitter post which officially confirmed both Akali and Senna were on their way to 2XKO, with the former being our next champion. While they also confirmed changes and upcoming awareness of systems, gameplay, and community; we also got a sneak peak of both champions in action. 2XKO: What’s Next + New Champs
Akali seems to be your typical run-of-the-mill ninja-coded Champion. Seems to be incredibly fast, has multi-hit moves, and a teleport. I suspect she’ll be very mix-up heavy similar to Ekko, but with more with an emphasis on actual speed and tricky movement options. I am not looking forward to dealing with any character that’s main characteristic is their ability to make you guess five-ways-from-yesterday, but I’m happy she’s at least not a zoning character like Jinx, Teemo, or Caitlyn. I am also hoping they improve her aesthetic, as it seems to be something most people were complaining about.
I am a bit concerned regarding Senna due to the fact she has a projectile based weapon; I DO NOT want yet another zoner-esque character with long-ranged abilities considering the problem they are already presenting in 2XKO. However, so far, she doesn’t seem to be someone who’s main focus is keep-away or long-distance confirms, so thank God for that. Senna however, does have what appears to be a transformative state; no idea if this acts as a stance or simply a follow-up to certain moves. I am wondering what they do with this mechanic.
As far as her aesthetic; I feel it. She’s someone I actually want to play due to her combination of being an attractive character while simultaneously wielding a massive weapon. The only thing that makes me wonder if I would play or or not is how they structure her Super Arts and how exactly her specter form factors into her gameplay.
