Ekko re-work??!

So with Ekko's new re-work does it mean that he pretty much has no passive?! I mean what good is gaining speed after 3 hits if the enemy champ can either A. get away still B. kill you.

Ekko is already incredibly safe with his E and ult. The passive won't matter as much to surviving. The main reason they're changing it is because the ability for him to build tanky and walk people down the lane. If you don't understand that terminology, it just means that he can deal enough damage and stay on top of you regardless of what you do because of movement speed + his E. His kit is too reliable. You have to understand that a champion needs to have inherent weaknesses, and Ekko doesn't really have one. You can build him glass cannon and 1 shot people then safely get out, or you can build tanky and still out damage people with the ability to walk somebody down a lane then get out without an issue.

Comment above said he was too safe and had no weakness my response was to show he did. derp derp

Oh. My mistake.

Though if he's building tank (which this rework is meant to stop) then he isn't really wrong. Tank Ekko (and tank Yasuo) basically remove the dangers of their weakness without sacrificing anything worth while.

AP Ekko does not though.

I main tank Ekko, if i dive in on a lux, morgana, cho-gath, etc and they silence or root me under tower.....dead no matter how tanky I am.

Why the hell would you dive CC heavy champions under their tower? That's one of the worst mistakes to make.

Camil ToeOct 19, 20161 votes

because its against my nature to let a squishy think they are safe standing beside their tower with 50 health.

Well after getting caught you should realize that it was a bad idea.

I have a friend who plays Morg a lot and is always surprised by how many people think they can dive the CC angel.

So kill the tower with E and proceed to kill them.

Almost all champs are weak to Silences and Roots...
