2XKO Patch Notes: 1.1.3 (Mar 10 2026)

Have Yasuo and Ekko met their match? New events and free rewards? See what’s in patch 1.1.3.
Game Updates
Julian "JulezJP" Johnson

Welcome to 2XKO patch 1.1.3! In this patch, we’re decreasing the power level of the top half of the meta by adjusting overloaded portions of their kits. The most substantial hits were to Ekko and Yasuo, with Ahri and Warwick receiving some smaller adjustments. Our goal isn’t just to apply nerfs. We’re taking a measured approach to changes so that we can see where champions are as their weaknesses become more defined, and buff their strengths accordingly. 

Also, the Megabundles from Early Access are returning to the store, and you’ll see a new in-game event that grants more rewards. 

As always, the game will be down starting from 9am PT when the patch drops on March 10. You can always check the status of the patch here or in the 2XKO client. Online matchmaking will become available once maintenance is complete. In the meantime, you can still play in Offline mode.

To access Offline mode on console, you must disconnect from the internet before launching 2XKO.

Duo Emotes

Ever wished you could show off your team synergy in the lobby? Now you can, with Duo Emotes.

There’s a new weekly mission that will challenge you to play a match in a duo to earn the new emote. Use it around the same time in the same part of the lobby, and your avatars will sync up.

Weekly missions stay active until the end of the season. Even if you don’t finish this mission within one week, you’ll still have time to complete it.

Attract Mode

A short cinematic will now display when launching the game or while idling on the “Play” screen, featuring the song “Let’s Go” by Polyphia.

System Changes

Our main system changes this patch will smooth off the edges on bugs that affected our core system mechanics. We’ll continue to clean up Happy Birthday consistency and see how those changes land with each patch. 

Core Gameplay

  • Assist and Point hitboxes will now be closer together during Happy Birthdays.
    • To get in the weeds: Assists are now pulled in towards the Point champion on every hit, so their hitboxes get closer and closer together. 

Frame Data Cleanup

We’ve cleaned up the startup, active, and recovery states across the entire roster. This list is long and nitty-gritty, and you can feel free to skip over it unless you’re a data nerd. The TLDR is that getting an Interrupt or a Punish should now be more consistent across all champions.

Bug fixes

  • Anti-airs
    • Fixed the collision pills of the following champions when they perform Ahri, Braum Darius, Ekko, Illaoi, Jinx, Vi, Warwick, Yasuo. 
    • This should make anti-airing more consistent for most of the cast. 
  • Assists
    • Hitting an opponent after they perform a Freestyle Assist now causes the proper 6-second Assist cooldown.
    • Fixed a bug with Push Assist that applied blockstun from subsequent attacks incorrectly.

  • Break
    • Fixed a bug that caused the wall bounce from blocking an opponent’s Break to be interrupted by another attack hitting on the same frame.

    • Fixed a bug that unexpectedly shortened the wall bounce position after blocking a Break when an Assist was on screen.

    • Fixed an issue where Super meter would not refill with “Auto-Refill” turned on. 
    • Backrise and forwardrise ground tech for bots will now track the champion position.
      • This makes it easier to lab with champions that change position during their moves, like Yasuo. 
    • Starting a recording in Training mode no longer clears the input history. 

Champion Adjustments

The champion adjustments of this patch mostly bring down outlying parts of champion kits, and leave us some room to make buffs in upcoming patches. 

Just want the high-level changes? There’s a summary at the top of each section. Dive into the details below.

Quality of Life Updates

  • All champions are now unlocked in Local Versus when online, similar to how Local Versus functions offline. 

  • Fixed several bugs with virtual devices. Team select screen should now assign P1-4 based on who hits a button first, rather than arbitrarily assigning to peripheral slots. 

  • Rematch countdown has been added to the post-match screen. When the timer runs out or the opponent chooses to end the set, remaining players can read their mission progress or leave the post-match screen. 

  • You can now cancel looking for a lobby when entering the Casual Lobby or Ranked Lobby by pressing the back button. 

  • Alternate skin options now persist through rematches.

  • When duoing online, if either teammate has unlocked a tutorial-locked Fuse, it will be available for the entire team to pick. 

  • Juggernaut and Sidekick Fuse tutorials have been updated and expanded to teach more unique tech.

Bug Fixes

  • Screen tearing on consoles has been reduced.

  • Fixed an issue where keys re-bound to L3/R3 or the Share/Touchpad button on gamepad would not function properly while playing online. 

  • Fixed the champion select controls menu to correctly show whether or not the player has Pulse Combo enabled.

  • Fixed a bug that prevented fully rewinding in match replays.

  • Fixed several rare audio crashes.

  • Fixed an issue that would repeat the sound of Caitlyn’s projectiles.
