Whoever thought that putting a 2.25 second AOE STUN on an ASSASSIN was a good idea

Please, re-evaluate your life choices

That would be like if we gave a tank a 500+ base AOE damage regular skill just because it's "hard to land" Difficult to land abilities should not equal an instant kill on a target, specially when it's not that hard to land when casting it outside of the targets vision range Even a champion who has the "I have a hard to hit skillshot but it has a high kill potential" like Blitzcrank has his ENTIRE KIT REVOLVE AROUND IT

Is this about Annie or ekko . ekkos stun has like a 2 sec cast time if you get stunned you deserve to get stunned. Plus he has to step in the circle in order for the stun to hsppen

As a sona player, can I have 2.25 seconds on my stun too? And make it half a lane width? I know it's instant instead of delayed, but it's balanced by sheer virtue of having the kill power of sona vs the kill power of an assassin.

Good luck landing flash five man creshendos on a 3second delay. Anyone seeing the differece? Ekko is a graceful fighter. Not so much an assassin.

Fine lower it to 2.15 seconds

That's harsh. Definitely would go for a 2.18 second stun, though. That's fair.

That being said his stun is not as easy to land as people seem to complain about. It's all about how well you plan/predict where you need to be in the next few moments to land your stun. It's not an instakill. It's not an instant "I WIN" button. Now, if you want to be a squishy and you get jumped on by a fed Ekko, I am not going to feel bad for you. Know your kit, as well as his, and be prepared for what he wants to do to you.
