The casters literally just said that the intended weakness of Ekko is not in effect.

Game 1 of G2 vs FNC start watching at 14 minutes into the game.

And yes it is about how he can just sit in the middle of the fight, get 2 stuns off and ult when health starts getting low while getting kills because of base damage from his kit.

Why do we need threads about this? There are significant nerfs to Ekko's base damages on the PBE. A large amount of his power is getting shifted into his AP scalings. Everyone knows the build is overpowered and there are already planned nerfs.

I was going to say 'just wait for the RoA/off tank ekkos to be back and even stronger than before' but RoA might be garbage after the Mage update so Nevermind.

Except he got cced and died with out ulting once and used 2 more ults just to run and die. Tank ekko is pretty must useless.

Duh. That's why Tank Ekko is so broken right now.

I think one thing that's annoying about tank ekko is becaue when facing him there's almost never a time where you aren't slowed too..... why not just reduce it's slow effectiveness as well in either the passive or Q or both and have it scale on AP

Ok? Casters say a lot of things about LCS, most of which don't pertain to regular game play. I don't even see why you are comparing LCS to regular game play, should we start complaining about mid Ryze as well?

You mean 44:54. What happens at 46:00 is Ekko giving up first blood because he actually can't do the problematic thing they just finished saying he does. 1:00:55 shows him losing a teamfight and getting wrecked. Tank Ekko is trash. Has been for a long time.

tank ekko is only really strong when ahead in the game, as is literally every single champ in the fucking game.

They are reducing his base damage thank god.. he will have to build AP now. But still the main problem is the slow on his Q and his ms with his passive. they are both a bit high. You cant give him a slow and ms with that annoying R of his in his kit.

You can, unless you want him to become completely reliable on ult to do anything. If squishy AP ekko is supposed to work then he needs a viable damage pattern.
