There are many League of Legends champions we’d love to see in the 2XKO roster, so here are our top 10 choices.

2XKO is launching with 12 champions, including Caitlyn, who will be available starting Season 1. But there are many League of Legends (LoL) champions with the personality and style that would make them perfect for a fighting game. Here’s our top 10 list of champions we’d love to see join 2XKO!

Honorable mentions

Not everyone could make it to this list since League of Legends has 172 champions. However, there are also plenty of other strong candidates who could join 2XKO:

  • Yone
  • Samira
  • Jax
  • Xin Zhao
  • Garen
  • Akali
  • Fiora
  • Kayn
  • Pantheon
  • Rell
  • Tryndamere

10. Diana

Diana is an Aspect, one of the most powerful beings in Runeterra. Her character design is stunning, and she would make an incredible addition to the 2XKO champions roster. Once a rebellious child, she now struggles to fully control her immense powers, which can unleash devastating destruction.

9. Galio

Galio might be a controversial pick for this list, but his unique, monstrous design would be amazing in a fighting game. We’re used to a standard lineup of martial arts-based fighters, so having a character like him in the 2XKO roster would be a refreshing choice.

8. Katarina

Aside from tearing her opponents apart, Katarina has a unique beauty in combat. There’s a certain grace in the way she moves, making her a fantastic addition to 2XKO. Especially in her Blood Moon skin, she looks incredible, perfectly showcasing her assassin, chaotic, and lethal side.

7. Riven

We love powerful woman, and Riven would be an insane character to be in the 2XKO roster. She’s not only one of the oldest champions in League of Legends, but she also has an incredible backstory, rising through the swordmaster ranks with strength, conviction, and brutal efficiency.

6. Ambessa

It is impossible not to look at the top lane for fighters. Ambessa couldn’t be left off this list. As a general and warlord, she excels at organizing battles, reading her opponents’ moves, and anticipating the worst. She would make a fantastic addition to the 2XKO champions roster.

5. Aatrox

Just like Darius and Illaoi, who are already part of the 2XKO champion list, Aatrox is one of those powerful top laners that would be dope to play with in the game. He is a corrupted god seeking to complete his apocalyptic, long-overdue vengeance.

4. Poppy

Poppy might be small, but she has all the personality to be a cool fighting game character. In her lore, Poppy is actually a soldier, "described as tenacious and determined, but is not always obedient." She’s cool, wields a massive hammer, and will look absolutely adorable taking on everyone in battle.

3. Lee Sin

Talking about fighting without mentioning Lee Sin should be a crime. We’re talking about the warrior-monk who lost his sight and devoted his life to protecting his homeland. As the master of Ionia’s ancient martial arts, he’s more than ready to tear you apart if you threaten Ionia’s sacred balance. Just like the top two champions, Lee Sin would be an incredible character for 2XKO.

2. Shen

If Shen were not part of League of Legends, he would definitely be part of a Mortal Kombat game. Everything about him screams fighting and protecting the weak. Shen's role in the lore is to enforce the balance between the spirit realm and the physical world, preventing possible catastrophes.

1. Sett

Has anyone looked at this guy? If there is a champion that should be considered for 2XKO or any fighting game, it would be Sett. This man is always ready for a good fight and a reason to punch someone. He is now the leader of Ionia’s growing criminal underworld, having fought his way there, literally.
