Ekko Yasou or Kindred

Trying to decided which to buy. Ekko is an assasin which is good and i play Teemo a lot so he would suit my play style. Yasou is damage heavy but i have heard he is less powerful later in the game. I killed him with Teemo at least 5 times in one match. then the new boys, the Kindred. I heard they are junglers but i don't jungle much. However they can deal tons of damage and can heal to sustain themselves in the jungle, however if they have used there healing move they are not great at team fights. let me know who i should buy and thanks in advance. Also I apologize for the awful spelling.

It depends on what you want.

With Ekko, the playstyle is pretty fun, you just have to be good at predicting the flow of the fight and timing your skills.

With Yasuo, he does technically have a weaker late-game than the other melee carries, but he has the most powerful mid-game spike in the game right now. Kinda broken, really, seeing as he can fall horribly behind, spend 6k gold and suddenly wreck shit.

With Kindred, they're actually the easiest jungler I've ever played. Seriously, once you hit level 2, unless you seriously screw up or get counter-jungled hard, you don't need to recall until you can upgrade and enchant your Machete.

I'd say Kindred, because the less Yasuo and Ekko players in the world, the better.

OperationDEEZ1 you'd probably say that if kindred came before XD

My main concern with Kindred is she will be nerfed. and her hit points. im the kinda guy who needs hit points to stay alive for more then a few seconds.

You should buy the champion you like to play more.

Otherwise, you are just buying someone else's favorite champion and they aren't you. I could tell you "Don't buy Echo" because I got to try him in One-for-All and saw that he was dumb, but you aren't me. As it sounds like you have not played any of them, and thus do not know how they play or whether you find that playstyle fun, the correct answer is "Buy none of them."

All anyone can usefully tell you based on what we know about what you like is that "none of them are like Teemo".

Well the champion i want to play is ekko so i will go with that. thanks for the advice. I know none are like teemo but ekko is closest out of the 3 and also i really like his trapping and teleporting abilities. thank you. (also i don't think any are going to be out on free week anytime soon, kindred and ekko are too new)

Ekko is my favorite champion.

Yasuo is quickly becoming my 2nd favorite as I just started playing him and mastered him. High noon Yasuo for the win!

I'd say get Yasuo just cause his champ selection intro is so smooth and cool "Death is like the wind, always by my side". I wished to god Riot would some day make high noon Yasuo the main default skin as it is so fitting if you ask me.

Anyhow, in terms of gameplay, they both take lots of skill, probably more so Ekko once you mastered them cause a mastered Yasuo can still flow smooth, but Ekko struggles, and needs to predict as Yasuo is generally safe with his passive and wind wall.

But yeah, get Yasuo. Play some music.

Also Ekko uses mana, and that can suck when you go against a Zed who will destroy your ass and probably 1 shot you at level 1 since Ekko is pretty squishy as fuck if you take him lane.

Yasuo is more safe.

EDIT So what I was saying is if you master both Yasuo, and Ekko to the best you can, Ekko would be harder to use cause he's simply squishy in lane, you can't just go all in on someone, you gotta predict where the enemy will be as all your skills can be avoided with ease.

Regardless, get one of the two, they both got so much outplay potential, Ekko gots tools to deal with every champion, Yasuo doesn't.

yasuo he is HELLA fun, he is a pretty strong pick againts skill shot mages, and his skill cap is pretty high so u never really get bored with him
