By being "opposites", it means their respective virtues rather than actual power. Their powers are just the abilities of Aesir but split into two halves. However, Loki is the good nature of Aesir and was responsible for gifting humanity with the Eyes whereas Loptr was the evil one and only grew worse the more of humanity's darkness he absorbed throughout the ages. In that respect they are opposites (as Loki himself says). But Loptr only needed the Sovereign Power rather than Loki's inherent good nature.
