Riot Games has been teasing us with their upcoming fighting game, codenamed "Project L," for years. However, it seems that the wait is finally over as the game's real name has been revealed: 2XKO.
For those unfamiliar with the game, 2XKO is a tag-team style fighting game set in the world of Runeterra, the same universe as Riot Games' popular MOBA game, League of Legends. Players will build a team of two different champions, each with their own unique abilities and playstyles. The game has a focus on fast-paced action and strategic gameplay.
We can't help but wonder what other surprises Riot Games has in store for us. With their track record of creating engaging and gigantic games like League of Legends and VALORANT, we have no doubt that 2XKO will be a hit among both casual and competitive fighting game players.
## Revealing the Real Name
After a lot of anticipation, Riot Games has finally revealed the real name of its upcoming fighting game, previously Project L. The game will be called 2XKO.
### The Announcement of 2XKO
The announcement of the real name of Project L was teased by Tom Cannon, part of Riot Games, on February 21, 2024. In a tweet, he stated that "Hey folks, Tomorrow (for real) we'll drop a quick Project L update. It will also be the last Project L update, because we're announcing our actual name and social channels. See you then!" This announcement has been met with excitement from fans who have been eagerly waiting for more information about the game.
On February 22, 2024 at 4.00PM (GMT) the official 2XKO (Formerly Project L) Twitter/X account revealed the name: 2XKO.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en" data-theme="dark"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">we&#39;ve got next <a href="https://t.co/alcE6nZQQq">pic.twitter.com/alcE6nZQQq</a></p>&mdash; 2XKO (Formerly Project L) (@Play2XKO) <a href="https://twitter.com/Play2XKO/status/1760695954229821540?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&rev_url=heimerdinger.lol%2Fpost%2F2xko-name-riot-games-fighting-game-project-l-revealed">February 22, 2024</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

If you're kind of new to League of Legends, attacking champions can be a bit tricky. It's not uncommon for an ADC to accidentally click minions or turrets instead of the enemy champion during a fight. This can be frustrating and even cost you the game. Luckily, there is a way to avoid this issue altogether. In this post, we'll show you how to only attack champions in League of Legends.
First, it's important to understand why attacking only champions is so important. When you're in a fight, every second and bit of damage counts. If you accidentally attack a minion or a plant, you're losing out on damage during the fight. This can give the enemy team an advantage and make it harder for you to win the fight. By attacking only champions, you're making every hit count.
Now, let's talk about how to actually attack only champions in League of Legends. One option is to use the "Target Champions Only" toggle. This toggle allows you to toggle between targeting only champions or targeting anything you're hovering over. To use this toggle, you'll need to first set it up in your settings. We'll go over the steps for doing that later in this post.
## Understanding Targeting in League of Legends
League of Legends is a game of strategy and skill that requires players to make split-second decisions. One of the most important aspects of the game is targeting. In this section, we will cover the basics of targeting in League of Legends, including champion targeting mechanics and the attack move mechanic. We will refer to your right-click attack as an "auto-attack" in this post, but people might also call it AA or basic attack.
### Targeting Basics
To auto-attack a specific target, you can right-click on the target. However, if there are multiple targets in the area, your champion will attack the one that you hovered over. This can be annoying if you are trying to target a someone in the middle of a group of minions.
### Champion Targeting Only
To only allow your auto-attacks to be done on an enemy champion, you can use the "Target Champions Only" toggle. This keybind allows you to only target champion, ignoring minions and other stuff like plants. By default you can activate this toggle by pressing the **~/tilde** key on your keyboard. When toggled, your in-game cursor will turn red, indicating that you are in "Target Champions Only" mode.
Depending on your settings, it might not be a toggle and you'll need to keep holding the key. This obviously isn't ideal so we suggest going into settings, going to the GAME tab, and turning on "Treat 'Target Champions Only' as a toggle" all the way at the bottom of the settings page.
It is important to note that while in "Target Champions Only" mode, you will not be able to target anything other than champions. This can be problematic if you need to target a minion or tower. To deactivate this function, simply press the **~/tilde** key again.
### Attack Move Mechanic
The attack move mechanic in League of Legends allows you to move your champion towards a location while automatically attacking any enemies that come within range. This can be useful for kiting enemies or face checking a bush.
The use attack move, you can press the **A** key by default, and clicking where you want to walk to. Your champion will move to where you clicked while automatically attacking any enemies that come in range.
It is important to note that attack move targets any enemy unit, including minions. When there are multiple targets in range it will attack the one closest to your champion by default. However we heavily suggest going into your settings (`esc`), navigating to the GAME tab, scrolling down and turning on "Attack move on Cursor". This setting might sound vague but all it does is that it makes attack move focus the unit closest to your cursor instead of closest to your champion.
## Best Key Bindings and Settings
If you are looking to improve your gameplay in League of Legends, setting up key bindings and customizing settings could help. In this section, we will discuss how to set up target champions only, the pros and cons of toggle vs hold, and customizing hotkeys.
### Setting Up Target Champions Only
This setting allows you to attack only champions in team fights and avoid accidentally targeting minions or neutral monsters. However, by default it is on your **~/tilde** key which might not be perfect for you.
To set up a custom target champions only key, open your settings, go to the "Hotkeys" menu, and scroll down to "Additional Hotkeys." Then, scroll down to the bottom and find "Target Champions Only." We suggest that you might it to a easy to reach key, such as a side mouse button or your middle-click.
### Toggle vs Hold: Pros and Cons
When it comes to using target champions only, you have two options: toggle or hold. Toggle means that you press the key once to activate target champions only, and press it again to deactivate it. Hold means that you hold down the key to activate target champions only, and release it to deactivate it.
The pros of using toggle are that it is more convenient and less tiring on your fingers. The cons are that you may accidentally toggle it off during a team fight, and it may take longer to switch between targets.
The pros of using hold are that it is more reliable and allows for quicker switching between targets. The cons are that it may be tiring on your fingers and may cause you to miss-click during a team fight.
## General Tips for Champion Targeting
When playing League of Legends, targeting and kiting well can be the difference between winning and losing a fight. Here are some general tips for champion targeting that can help you improve your gameplay.
### Positioning and Map Awareness
Knowing the position of your enemies is very important. Keep an eye on the minimap to see where your enemies are and where they might be moving to. This will help you position yourself in a way that allows you to focus on the right targets while staying safe.
In team fights, try to stay behind your tanks and focus on the enemy carries. These are usually the champions that deal the most damage. If you're playing an assassin, look for opportunities to flank the enemy team and take out their carries from behind.
### Using Target Champions Only in Combos
The "Target Champions Only" option can be a valuable tool when doing combos too. You can make sure that your abilities only target enemy champions, even if they are surrounded by minions or other targets.
For example, if you're playing Tristana and want to use your ultimate on an enemy champion, you can press the "Target Champions Only" key to make sure you don't accidentally ult a minion. This can make your combos more accurate and increase your chances of securing kills.
### Practicing your Cursor Movement
Practice makes perfect. Go in to a practice tool on a ADC which buys a lot of Attack Speed like Kai'Sa and make yourself Level 18 and full-build. Put down some target dummies and quickly kite around them. This can help you develop the muscle memory necessary to quickly switch targets and be more precise. You can compare it to aim training like people do for VALORANT.
## Frequently Asked Question (FAQ)
#### Is there a way to permanently enable 'Target Champions Only'?
There is no way to permanently enable the "Target Champions Only" feature in League of Legends. This feature must be turned on and off manually using the keybind that you have assigned to it.
#### How can I change the 'Player Attack Only Click' settings?
To change the "Player Attack Only Click" settings in League of Legends, go to your Hotkeys menu and select the "Player Movement" section. From there, you can find the "Player Attack Only Click" option and assign it to a keybind of your choice. This feature allows you to attack-move while only targeting champions.
#### What steps should I take if 'Target Champions Only' isn't working?
If the "Target Champions Only" feature isn't working, there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue. First, make sure that you have assigned the feature to a keybind. Then, check your keybind settings to ensure that the feature is enabled. If the feature is still not working, try resetting your keybinds to their default settings. If none of these steps work, you may need to contact League of Legends support for more help.
#### Can I use 'Target Champions Only' with Attack Move?
No, you can not use the 'Target Champions Only' feature together with attack moves to only attack champions while attack moving away from them. 'Target Champions Only' affects your auto-attacks and targeted abilities. It does not work with attack move or skillshots..

If you're a League of Legends player, you may have heard of the term "demotion shield" before. Or perhaps you are seeing it on your profile right now. But what exactly is the demotion shield in League of Legends, and how does it work? In short, the demotion shield is a feature that prevents players from dropping down a tier if they lose some games after being promoted.
When you're promoted into a new tier, you'll gain a demotion shield effect. This effect will last for a certain period of time or until you lose a certain number of games, depending on the circumstances. The demotion shield is designed to prevent players from immediately dropping down a tier due to some unlucky games, giving them a chance to prove themselves and maintain their new rank.
However, it's important to note that the demotion shield is not a permanent feature. If you continue to lose games while under the demotion shield effect, you will eventually lose the shield and be at risk of demoting.
## Overview of Demotion Shield
If you're a League of Legends player, you might know the term "Demotion Shield", but you might not know exactly what it is or how it works. In this section, we'll tell you what exactly Demotion Shield is and how it works.
### Purpose of Demotion Shield
The purpose of the Demotion Shield is to prevent players in ranked from dropping down a tier immediately after they get promoted. Essentially, it gives players a slight "safe" period to get used to the new rank and not get demoted because their jungler decided to play Janna jungle 🌪️🌲.
### How Demotion Shield Works
When you get promoted into a new tier for the first time, you will receive a Demotion Shield. The shield is a temporary effect that prevents you from immediately dropping down a tier if you lose some games at 0LP. The number of games that the Demotion Shield lasts for depends on the tier or division you're in.
The Demotion Shield usually lasts between 3 to 10 games after advancing a tier, up through Diamond. However, for Masters the Demotion Shield only lasts for your first 3 games in the tier.
Keep in mind that the Demotion Shield applies to losses that would normally get you demoted. So if you lose games while your Demotion Shield is still active, you will still lose LP and MMR. But you won't be demoted until the Demotion Shield expires and you keep losing games.
## Getting a Demotion Shield
In League of Legends, the Demotion Shield is a feature that prevents players from being demoted to a lower tier being promoted to a new tier for the first time.
### First Time in a New Tier
When you win enough games and get enough LP, you will be promoted to a higher tier. If it's your first time being promoted to that tier you will earn the Demotion Shield. This will protect you from being demoted for a short time.
## Losing the Demotion Shield
If you start losing games while you have the Demotion Shield active, you might get an icon and message saying "Demotion Shield Expiring." This means that you're getting close to losing the Demotion Shield, and you should try to make sure you stop losing games at low LP. Because once your shield expires, you will be at risk of being demoted if you lose another game.
### Shield Expiration
The Demotion Shield has a limited duration, and it will expire after a certain amount of games played. The exact amount of games in the tiers Diamond and below isn't stated by Riot Games in their [article about demotions and decay](https://support-leagueoflegends.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/4405783687443-Placements-Promotions-Series-Demotions-and-Decay#demotions-and-decay-0-2) anymore, but our guess is that it's currently between 3 to 10 games. For Masters we do know the exact amount of games, that being 3 games after you got promoted to Masters for the first time.
### Avoid losing your Demotion Shield
The Demotion Shield is based on your performance after promoting, and it will be removed if you aren't playing well.
To avoid losing your Demotion Shield, you should focus on staying calm, playing well and winning games. Try to avoid big losing streaks, and take a break if you are getting tilted or tired. If you do lose your shield, don't panic. Even if you demote, you can still get back to the rank by winning games just like you did before.
In summary, the Demotion Shield is a protective measure that prevents you from being demoted after a loss. However, it has a limited duration and will expire after a certain number of games. To avoid losing your shield, you should focus on playing well and winning games.
## Impact on Player Experience
The Demotion Shield mechanic in League of Legends has a significant impact on the player experience. As it helps to reduce ranked anxiety and encourages people to play ranked.
### Reducing Ranked Anxiety
Ranked anxiety is a real emotion that people get that can negatively impact their in-game performance. Being scared of losing a game and being demoted can cause players to play more cautiously, leading to mistakes or missed opportunities. The Demotion Shield helps reduce this anxiety for people by providing a temporary safety net for players who just promoted to a new tier.
When a player has a Demotion Shield, they might play more focused and take more calculated risks without the fear of losing their rank. This can lead to a more fun gaming experience and a better performance in-game.
### Encouraging Playing Ranked
The Demotion Shield also encourages players to keep playing more ranked. When a player just gets promoted to a new tier and is at risk of being demoted, they may be more likely to stop playing ranked altogether. The Demotion Shield provides an incentive for them to continue playing ranked.
Overall, the Demotion Shield mechanic has a positive impact on the player experience in League of Legends. It helps to reduce ranked anxiety and encourages people to play ranked games, which can lead to a more enjoyable and rewarding experience for everyone.
## Finding Your Demotion Shield Status
If you're wondering whether your demotion shield is active or not, there is a way to check and make sure.
### Client Profile Indicator
The easiest way to check your demotion shield status is to look at the "Profile" tab in your League Client. To do this, click the "Profile" tab that is indicated by a little avatar icon and look for yellow or red warning icons next to your rank.
A yellow warning icons means that the demotion shield is expiring somewhat soon, while a red icon means it's pretty much gone. If you still lose at this point, you'll be demoted to the previous tier.
## Frequently Asked Question (FAQ)
#### How can a player recognize the demotion shield is about to expire?
You can recognize that the demotion shield is about to expire when you see a red shield on your profile. This means that you are close to losing your current tier and being demoted to the previous tier. When you see a red shield, it's important to be careful and try to win your next few games to avoid being demoted.
#### What does a red demotion shield mean in LoL?
A red demotion shield in League of Legends means that you are close to being demoted to the previous tier. If you lose a game at 0 LP while having a red shield, you will be demoted. It's important to try to win your next few games to avoid being demoted.
#### What does the Demotion Shield do?
The demotion shield protects players from demoting to their previous tier. Demotion protection means that you will not be demoted immediately after losing a game at 0 LP. Instead, you will have a certain number of games or a certain amount of time before you are demoted. This allows players to have a chance to recover from a losing streak and improve their MMR before being demoted.
