Should I get Ekko or Zed?

Zed is broken af but Ekko takes skill, yeah they're both hard to learn but once you get Zed down he's so easy and good it's stupid, don't be an ass and play Zed, play Ekko instead, yeah he's super strong but his W and R are hard to land and feel much more rewarding when you do then just the Zed point and click ult

Neither. Just pick a mage who uses rylais. Ekko isn't strong rn imo, and zed is basically countered by zhonyas and an exhaust but that's just my experience.

I'd definitely recommend Ekko, although I'm a bit biased as I main him xD but he is really good, you can go tank and be this slow/stun undying team fighter or go AP and blow up targets one at a time.

With Zed you need insane skill to actually use him right, he's like one of the hardest champions to use in the game.

Ekko is a bit easier with a safer laning phase, he's also strong because of his cc and ult.

Brand is da man and he's all you need
