True Damage Ekko is a clear case of selling power

This skin should not have been released.

  1. His passive stack animation regularly 'jumps,' which draws your attention. There's a reason literally every other buff effect in the game is a slow moving static sprite/model with pale coloring.

  2. His W is incredibly hard for opponents to see before it pops.

Totally not the best soloque jungler in the game and extremely toxic to play against or anything.

I see the confusion here. This is an Ekko thread, but you're clearly talking about Shaco. Easy mistake to make.

Shaco is just a cheese pick that doesnt work if people know how to play against him. Ekko is actually broken.

his W takes 2.5 secs to actually go off and its pretty visable once it actually shows up to the enemy. he also does an animation when he starts it and actually has to touch the circle to stun you.

as for the jumping, that's more of a you problem.

This skin is definitely going to be banned in competitive play. Like every other skin with intrusive effects.

If we are going to adjust ekko's visual effects start with making his passive proc more easily identifiable. It's pretty easy to think you popped it and when in fact your auto attack was interrupted at the last second.

I love the skin and play a good amount of Ekko but I gotta agree. The passive moonwalk and jump is one of my favorite parts of the skin, but it's really annoying for the enemy.

Fixes(?)

  1. Jump and moonwalk doesn't happen when there's a large fight (make it depend on number of allies and enemies around, or spells cast in an area around you, or some other way of determining if it'll be too visually noisy or disorienting)

It's fine in laning phase IMO but big fights are where it fucks things up.

  1. Way brighter W indicator. Maybe so they don't have to change the color, give it a bright-ish outline? Just something to stand out, change color if you have to.
