Despite 2XKO only having been out in early access for around a month and a half now, the competitive scene has already kicked into high gear.
There’s few if any players who can match TSM|Leffen in terms of big offline tournament wins in the game thus far, and he recently put together a new tier list following 2XKO’s latest balance update.
Compared to Leffen’s previous 2XKO tier list, there have definitely been some notable changes though he also feels the overall balance and character strength is much closer than many players make it seem.
With the nerfs, Yasuo is hurting from hit backdash getting hit, but he remains a top tier contender and doesn’t feel that it’s enough for players to drop him.
Ahri has a strong case for being the best character in the game without any real flaws in Leffen’s eyes and works well with most partners and Fuses.
Ekko is right up there too despite his assists getting weakened though one champion stays standing above the rest currently.
Teemo is now the only fighter Leffen has in S+ even with his own nerfs while he does foresee the little guy dropping a bit from more bug fixes that should be coming that will technically make him weaker.
Warwick has shot up a few spots with his strong normals, overhead, damage, divekick and install though he notes the big bad wolf may drop a bit after some bug fixes.
Vi is another character Leffen has moving up slightly with her strong defense, movement, speed and big lights while her air conversions are still awkward and oki is not as strong as the other top tiers.
Overall, he doesn’t have any champion below A+ currently, but these are his early impressions of the new patch after only a few days — so those opinions are still subject to change.
