I know i am going to get downvoted into hell for this but I would *really* like to discuss ekko

His kit has been, unhealthy, for so long, in fact he is probably the one mid laner I cant actually beat post 6, like, with anybody. He gets that free "oops I messed up brb" button. And I was actually playing a game as soraka, and ekko said to me, well you are soraka you can hardly complain since you are basically a heal bot. Well this may be true, but soraka doesn't build ap nor does it scale well for her, (let's just ignore soraka right? Because fck supports, right? #NotSaltyAtAllAboutHerGettingGutted) Well basically ekkos heal is 200 +60% ap, soraka is 350 +55% ap, mind you that ekkos ult also deals damage if it hits, for 450 +150% ap scalings. So basically he can heal more based on how much ap he receives, which is perfect right? Totally meant to be in a kit for an assassin ;D. Regardless, Soraka literally cant go full ap, she would be too squishy and it isn't really cost efficient. Not to mention that god awful shield ekko gets for his w, another whopping 150% ap scaling, like can we please lower these scalings so he doesn't become impossible to kill and then when he does get close to death, issa "OOPS" then he lives? Like truly, I want someone to explain how his kit in its entirety, is fair for players, be honest with yourselves, for someone who was designed as a mobile assassin, how is he fair gameplay.

Ok since no else feels like steping up I got it so as a maatery 7 almost 100k ekko player playing him jungle and top primarily and can understand SOME of your frustrations with W shield and such but overal the champ just might annoy you I can stand seeing Janna or Ivern on the enemy team or tryn because I know regardless of where there are in the game theyre gonna do the same thing make sure no one dies or splitpush untill he can 1 shot (also their ults are aids) but ekko definitely isnt a problem I will say his mid lane could be nerfed strong mid laners right now push in waves quick and ekko does that but with the mastery change on PBE he wont anymore but on to the actually champ your point on his ult being a free "OOPS" button is correct but there are champs who do it much worse like Kayle,Tryn,Janna, and soraka while ekko ult he can not only still die but its 4 seconds behind so if 4 seconds ago wont save you then u die either way, the healing is definitely not a problem its really not that much but when you say ulting back is to good because it heals you and does dmg makes no sense because when u ult back if you dont kill somone or miss it your almost 100% dead realistically your only other escape is flash if thats not up its your E and will only get away if over a wall so extremely situational its throwing yourself into danger to get your job done which is every other assassin job but the heal is a replace for his escape while zed can R back and katarina can E away ekko doesnt have that. Ekkos W is only good if u can hit it and get the shield its usless for bad ekkos and good for good ekkos which is a good system. His mobility coming from procing passive can be a bit frustrating but once again requires you to go in and do the dmg. A defensive ult that stop you from killing him in lane is just part for his kit dont know what to tell you once again there are champs that do it worse like kayle I mean atleast ekko is melee and he can be cc locked out of using it so

If any other complications just send em' hope this wasnt to long and grammatically incorrect hope this helps

Oh okay, makes sense that you are an ekko main saying that. Tell me how do you do so poorly with such a broken champ?
