Ekko q slow changes reverted... Why ?

why is AP ekko's winrate still at 48% despite getting buffed 4 times in a row? what do think if this ap ekko buff goes through and his winrate is still 48%.

Thank you for at least testing the chipping away of some of his overloaded kit. Maybe he'll have a healthy one some day.

any concern with the scaling slow of it becoming a root with heavy ap builds specifically with fire dragon, baron and other late game ap modifiers?

so there is a chance it might come back? good i loved the idea.

he'd still have his speed boost right, so he'd have to auto twice, e behind them and q their face for combo poke?

We're still considering changing Ekko's Q slow to scale with AP instead of rank. We also want to test out removing the slow from his passive however instead, so we're trying that instead of the Q changes right now. Work in progress change list basically.

1 year ago, many people say he was overloaded with his kit. You should dig those comments again.

Rioter response WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

As an Ekko main who only likes playing AP Ekko I personally like the removal of the slow from his passive more than the scaling Q, mostly because that strong slow on his Q is one of the only ways to really get that second hit off with his Q since it is pretty easy to dodge that second hit if you aren't slowed as hard as you get after it has been upgraded a bit. Also the slow on his passive is the main reason he is so oppressive as tank Ekko because it is an easy to confirm strong slow unlike his Q and W which are much harder to land which makes getting that strong CC from them fair in my opinion.

Please man dont remove slow on passive just make Q slow scale with Ap, but removing his passive slow will completely kill AP Ekko too, just dont kill a champion bec ppl are crying to you man about him.. i believe the base damage nerfs for all his abilities including Q and R and q slow scaling with AP are enough to kill tank ekko without destroying AP ekko with him,

The Q slow scaling with AP is a nerf to tank ekko without affecting AP ekko negatively but removing slow on passive is a huge nerf to AP Ekko and will kill him.. and i figured out from your posts guys that u want to nerf tank ekko without affecting AP Ekko negatively, so i dont understnad why removing his passive slow instead of making his q slow scale with ap??

Ekko has already been killed off tbh I feel you're just basing what to do with him off player frustration. I've encountered many problems with recent patches with what's too strong and difficult to play against and Ekko was never one of the cases, His kit offers so much counterplay it's high risk low reward. If anything he deserves a few buffs to bring Ap Ekko back to being a assassin.
