Ekko is too strong, Riot.

I doubt I even need to explain why...

Come on, you guys should have listened to us pbe testers before you release something that is THAT broken. I'm disappointed in you guys. Fix this ASAP.

i literally lost a ranked game only because of his bullshit 2.25 AOE stun...

The one with a three second delay?

and to think there was a point where we thought a .75 second delay would break a champion Veigar

egad, the one that's also not telegraphed at all?

He has a clone that hits a ball or whatever for that three second delay. Three seconds.

Although it could be easier to see. That would be nice.

really? i've never seen his clone outside the champion spotlight video... he does need to telegraph the radius of his bubble though

Seriously? I thought I could see it against him...

The definitely goes under some sort of hitbox clarity. There's no point in a three second delay stun for counterplay if nobody can see it. It shouldn't be too easy to see, but considering it's range and his E it would be difficult but highly rewarding to land that stun.

Why the hell his ult has an Ap ratio of 1.3 which is basically a Malzahar ult. Like that thing can kill you even without the surpression. To put it worse why did you make it a huge AOE Even annie or Vik doesnt nuke that hard.

guess i haven't run into a good ekko yet. played against two thus far and walked all over both of them. someone picked ekko into my darius top... mauled him pretty badly. second game i was playing Jinx adc, he died almost instantly in team fights.

pro tip: stop playing immobile mid laners against a mobile assassin.

and start picking champs that have cc like Chogath

i've been playing Ekko in normals, 2 wins, 2 losses, My first loss was more lag + babysitted by Diana (a 4 ganks before level6) setting me behind against fiora, she snowballed by the time I got my act together. Second loss was a troll game. I was bot ekko with shaco, and darius went top against enemy ekko. After he died we swapped, I was level 2 and enemy was level 4. I lost a trade or two, but end game i performed MUCH better. I love Ekko's playstyle, and it will be the first time playing assassin since season 3 when I used to play LB. The fact that I've owned every other ekko or assassin, even in the losing games tell me something, as much as I like him, once I master him, I think winning will get too easy. His damage is Rediculous. The stun is fine, it takes skill to land, so does the Ultimate, but his passive and ulti damage are SO high. I guess this is how Zed players feel. But I'm sure the damage will get nerf'd, then I'd say he'll just be a skill match up champ rather than broken

long story short. I like Ekko, think his playstye is cool, and it feels good for the first time to be assassin (usually support or tank) and I think playing him will ease me into other assassin types (want to pick up Wukong), but I have to admit, he is a bit broken, and I'm sure nerf's are coming, but oh well, as long as they don't break him (in the opposite direction) I'll still be playing him
