How else can they milk the fanbase for money if they just make all their characters available at launch.

10 characters, in my experience, is about as small as a roster can be in a fighting game before it feels like you’re seeing the same matchups over and over again. That might be a bit worse in a 2v2 game, but there are other reasons, like Vanguard, that I’d argue are more compelling reasons to avoid 2XKO.

3 characters missing?

Nah. Riven’s in it for sure. Literally zero chance otherwise. They say Katarina was cut but they for sure want that skin money so she’s either launch or first DLC.

Since Arcane is a thing and Jinx is confirmed you can bet Vi’s there too.
