2XKO Season 0 patch notes, release date, and details

Combo Trials are a new type of tutorial, where you can study combos for every champion. There are over 250 combos available to choose from. You’ll earn Credits for successfully completing Combo Trials. Visit the Learn tab to get started.

The frame data bar is a new feature in training mode. Enable it to visualize frame data and fix those gaps in pressure.

Stages customize your match’s background environment with themes inspired by the different regions of Runeterra. Bandlewood Crossing and Firelight Run are the new stages for Season 0. Bandlewood Crossing can be purchased from the Stages section of the Collection tab, while Firelight Run is the first reward on the paid Battle Pass track. It’ll become available to purchase with Credits once the season is over.

From a systems side, we’re looking to decrease the power of Double Down, Super Tag (Handshake Tagging during a Double Down Super), and the amount of meter gain. We’re also looking to get Jinx, Ekko, and Yasuo more in line with the rest of the roster’s power level, improving Braum and Blitzcrank, and making Ahri and Vi’s combos more consistent.

Ranked starts on October 9 with the release of patch 1.0.1.1! We want to make sure we include all of our 1.0.1.1 adjustments and back-end improvements from Closed Beta before we flip the switch.

Once Ranked is live, you should notice a few matchmaking adjustments thanks to the data we gathered from Closed Beta. The average queue time has increased to find more balanced matches. In general, matches should feel more fair, and placement games should get you closer to your expected rank. As a result, reaching Challenger will be more difficult and should require a bit more of a time investment.

We’re still keeping an eye on Ranked matchmaking as we transition into Season 0, and will continue to improve the Ranked experience in future updates.

Ahri, Blitzcrank, Braum, Darius, Ekko, Illaoi, Jinx, Vi, and Yasuo.
No updates for Warwick and Teemo since they’re new.

Assist meter visuals have been updated for better readability.
There is now an additional confirmation dialog that appears on selecting Exit Game from the Settings tab.
Added News section to the home screen of the 2XKO client, which shows current promotions in the Store.
Added narrator feature, which can read the name of any UI element aloud on mouseover.Enable the narrator in the Settings tab, under the Accessibility section.
The Credits cap has been expanded from 10,000 to 12,000.We want wiggle room between our most expensive Credit purchases (10,000), and the cap. Credits are designed to be spent (and not hoarded), so we hope this will make overcapping less frequent.

On Eject, incoming champions can no longer be thrown while entering the screen.
Screen no longer repeatedly flashes when save states overlap with the pause menu.
Bots in Training mode will now perform actions after Break recovery, getup attack recovery, and inactive champion parry recovery.
Fixed issue where Training bots were not properly blocking Assist attacks because they were still considered a low or high attack. These attacks were all properly hitting as mids in actual player matches.

Before progressing too far in the game, make sure your Riot Account’s region is the same as your intended play region. Having your Riot Account region separate from your current region can create poor connection and gameplay experiences.

Each season of 2XKO will come with a Battle Pass, which contains rewards you can unlock by completing missions and collecting Battle Pass XP. When you have enough XP for your next reward, you’ll be able to claim it from the Progression tab.

Each Battle Pass will have a free track, which lets you claim a limited selection of the rewards that are available for the season. In addition to the free track, you can earn other rewards by unlocking the premium track. The premium track has three different paid options: Standard, Deluxe, and Ultra.
You’re always able to earn Battle Pass XP and level up your Battle Pass the whole season, and you can purchase at any point during the Season and claim all your earned rewards.

For Season 0, the free track will contain the Rift Quest Teemo skin, a set of avatar clothing, 3 stickers, a player card, a player title, and a finisher.

Bundles contain multiple types of cosmetics packaged together at a discounted price. Each season will come with a variety of Mega Bundles, featuring premium cosmetics like high-tier skins, finisher, and more. You’ll be able to purchase skin sets within Mega Bundles individually, or grab the full bundle to unlock bonus content.

Starter Editions will be available to purchase with real money when Season 0 launches.
The Crime City, Aureate, and Snow Moon bundles will be available to purchase with KO Points later in Season 0.

Meter gain has been reduced overall.
Meter gain is now decreased as a combo gets longer. At 8 seconds, meter gain is 80% of normal value.
At 11 seconds, meter gain is 50% of normal value.
At 16 seconds, meter gain is 10% of normal value.
Spending meter now decreases meter gain by 75% for 8 seconds. This penalty goes away once the opponent recovers from a combo.
Since parry costs a bar of meter and refunds on success, this change reduces the potency of combos performed after parry.
Limit Strike bonus meter gain has been reduced from 40 to 25.We’re seeing healthy levels of meter at most levels of play, but at extremely advanced levels there was far too much meter being generated. We’re adding penalties to meter gain on advanced combos to address this and encourage combo decision-making.
—–
Handshake Tag no longer prevents gray health from being accumulated.

Juggernaut: Break meter on round start has been reduced from 100% to 75%.
Juggernaut starting each round with a full bar of Break led to round-start death situations. Juggernaut’s Break meter also no longer resets between rounds, bringing it in line with other Fuses.

Previously, activating Double Down or 2X Assist put Assists on the normal cooldown, which is 2 seconds.
Freestyle has an increased Assist cooldown when activated, so we’re bringing 2X Assist and Double Down in-line.
—–

We’re bringing Sidekick in line with Double Down, and removing the ability to Sidekick Super multiple times per combo.
