Interesting interactions with rapid fircannon

i have been theory crafting on a few champs with auto-attack gapclosers and their interactions with item 3094

it first occured to me, having played ekko more than any champon the rift lately, that i am often just a smidge out of range to dash in and proc my AA's execute. with enemies being used to ekkos play patterns, this started happening more and more often over the past few months. of course, movement speed helps... but there is nothing like smacking them with a bat from an additional 149 range.... and RFC has both + some extra damage, and attack speed to proc it twice if needed.

for someone who plays an AA centered ekko game, it was just too good to pass up. sure, there is no ap in it but ... mehitem 3115 item 3124 fixes that by building on the attack speed synergy

so i started thinking about other champs.

Rengar gets the full bonus range when he leaps. but does he care for the attack speed? nope. RFC doesnt like him

Illaoi gets +123 range on harsh lesson.. but i cant see the stats making it worth confirmed harsh lesson plays well with RFC and its quite hilarious to watch the animation

Hecarim gets +114 range on his E, but this is usually used to knock enemies back into his team, so the extra range wouldnt help here. perhaps on an assassin style hec spec this might be useful for dives confirmed hecarim plays nice with RFC. found it to be useful to jump over walls with E more reliably. also, essence reaver works great with this for a glass cannon build if you have the guts to play assassin hec

EDIT: testing on Rengar Illaoi Hecarim due to a claim that it doesn't work on Rengar
done

item 3094 ONLY affects basic attacks. I have already tested it after someone else said that it does (when it didn't) affect Rengar leap range. Reason I tested it is because someone else said they tested it and it did not give the bonus range for his leap. I felt horrible after spreading false information that someone else gave out. =(

I actually think that AD Ekko is the better way to build him now for lane.

Your base damage and utility give you the early game. That allows you to farm for core items:

item 3094 item 3087 . Afterwards just start getting tanky withitem 3157 item 3156 item 3742 item 3047

You'll have amazing burst, strong autoattacks and still be really tanky and hard to deal with.
