Ekko Balance (angry vent)

Marshmallow Wolf·Aug 14, 2016·6 votes·688 views

I have 3 questions

Why can ekko build ad and still heal for half his health bar?

Why can he build triforce and be effective

Why does he heal more for the damage dealt to him?

Just really frustrating to play against when he's abused in literally every elo every time a new build comes along. He was designed to be an ability power assassin that does tons of damage at the risk of being a bit squishier, albeit with a good escape tool. Now ekko does tons of damage while tanky with no consequences.

!WARNING! !WARNING! Champion Rage Thread Detected::SITUATION::CRITICAL

Champion requires thought and pro-active learning to beat
Champion is meant to be good at abusing mistakes of players not paying attention.
Players in lower brackets do not seem to ever pay attention OR pro-actively learn from mistakes.
Punishing champions will always do well in lower brackets, some a great deal more than this champion.
Punishing champions also create lots of hate threads, regardless of their actual "fairness" (relative, not in a vacuum...)
Instead of posting hate threads, maybe the most pro-active decision would be to look into effective techniques to deal with said champion. In this case, "dodging" skill shots will make Ekko completely useless, as will warding and paying the fuck attention to not get stunned. If their team stunned you to get stunned by Ekko, 90% chance you would've died anyway to more than half the champions in the game at that point.

the issue here is that he can build trinity force + full defense (ie no AP) and still be extremely effective

I personally think that it might have to do with the fact that I keep seeing assassins building tankier but still hurting, might just be how the items are working out right now.
