Luden's really doesnt fall off o.o 10% MS 100 AP and additional damage once in a while? 100 AP is like the highest u can get besides dcap

morellos is better early game and you can sell it for a nashors which outscales ludens.

Nashor's now outscales Luden's. You heard it here first folks. Better keep an eye on worlds so we can see Nashor's replace Luden's Ekko on Ekko.

Nashor's is a win-more item. It is almost always better to buy something else.

theres nothing better that can replace morellos you still need 20 cdr% and nashors tooth outdamages ludens after 2 auto attacks

Theres simply no room in a ekko build for ludens you absoutely need the golden trio of deathcap void staff and zhonya lich bane is mandatory and you need 40% cdr as it makes ekko extremely good at diving in and out of fights and kiting.

these silly clowns getting baited to buying ludens on ekko simply because the names are similiar. thats not even bronze 5 thinking, thats pure "im new to this game and what am i doing" thinking.

Ludens hasnt been good ever since riot nerfed it to hell.

Luden's not a late game item? +10% Movement speed, 100AP, and an AoE wave clear aren't late game desirable? And here I thought pushing lanes was important.

i mean even if you build thous items your damage is still insane cause of your scaling. You play him a lot like kass running in and out

I thought he was suppose to have a bad early game and a good mid-late game?

He falls off?

Mages can fall off late game?

No champion falls off late game if you know how to adapt their kit to each stage of the game.

Likewise the opposite can be said...

Nobody said Ekko falls off don't make up stuff.

While I will agree that Morellonomicon is a better item early game than late game, being able to apply Grievous Wounds is a big deal and something that shouldn't be ignored, even if it is situational.

  1. Ekko has very good scalings , the only way he doesn't scale well is when he doesn't build AP.

  2. Luden's is a core item for burst potential, Abyssal is one of the best( if not the best) item when you want to go toe to toe with a magic damage dealer( and it's stats will always be worth), while Morello's actually increases his DPS in a fight and gives him a decent amount of AP while its passive weakens the enemy ADC. You may say those items are bad , but in reality , only a champion that builds defensive items will stand to them. As an assassin , Ekko should murder the carries( or the squishy champions better said ).

  3. His late game isn't based only on his items , but also team comps. Ekko is destroyed when he is forced to stay back , and not jump on enemies when he wants to. He is squishy most of the times , and every CC that is not a slow will stop him from using one of the most powerful spells of his kit.

sorry buddy but lich bane and morellos/nashors tooth are just much much better items

Abysall scepter is ONLY for dealing with other ap assassins void staff is much better ekko despite being a assassin can easily kill tankier targets.

I can say from experience (as full AP): no he does not

If he gets a second to go in, say goodbye to your ADC.

I have never once heard anyone say this.

He's kind of like Lee Sin, but different. You build him glass cannon, he has damage. If you build him tank, his bases and utility should keep him relevant. If he falls off, it's kind of your fault...

item 3089 item 3115 OR item 3165 item 3157 item 3135 item 3100 item 3020 is core

item 3285 USE to be good and core on ekko, but then it got hit with the nerf bat a few too many times.

Ekko is pretty trash late game, why play a melee ranged assassin when you have viktor or leblanc?
