Fixing Ekko's Q bug made his Win Rate drop like a rock - Any plans to help him out?

Shadow Assassin··1 votes·745 views

Now, I totally understand that unintended bugs are not a nice thing to play against, but after it's removal, I can personally feel Ekko being weaker in lane, because it becomes much harder for him to pressure the enemy champion, since they can easily move out of his Q.

HOWEVER, I didn't think this would be such an issue. Surely, you simply E onto them, then use the Q and ya know, do Assassin things. But apparently I was wrong, because this patch, Mid and Top Ekko, which were previously hovering around 50 and 51 % respectively, are now both sitting on a 47 % win rate.

Maybe something else happened, maybe I am missing something, but I feel like this bug kept Ekko afloat, and with its removal he fell hard.

I implore you Riot, please, find a way to make AP Assassin Ekko decently viable in Mid and Jungle. I'd like to feel comfortable picking my favorite champion, but right now it feels like a gamble.

I'd be fine with his win rate dropping to ryze levels and never seeing another one in game.

The bug was that Ekko's Q would momentarily increase in radius once it hit max distance and started the snap back to him.

I never debated that. I was explaining to the other guy what the bug was since the OP didn't actually tell people what it was.

If you are soo good at Ekko just make him go back in time before the change. Then you will have nothing to complain about.

As a fellow AP Assassin Ekko JGer, I agree with this.

I'd rather not have to switch mains just because he gets nerfs due to people building triforce.
