Ekko should have a grey health bar showing how much his ult would heal him for.

Hey, so I don't play Ekko much but I thought this would be a useful tool to know exactly how much you'd be healing for when you have ult up as Ekko. Sorta similar to Rengar when his W is off cooldown. Thoughts? o:

Riot has been asked this before, and iirc the reasoning why not was something along the lines of: "It promotes using it to bitch out" (pardon the paraphrasing)

sorta would lower his skill ceiling because anyone who sees that the ult will him for alot without putting them out of position will ult without any other thought put into it while currently good ekko players pay attention to the damage dealt to them so they know how much they are gonna be healed for

They tried it before. Didn't work out

Additionally, add a grey healthbar if soraka ult is ready. add a red health bar, when garen or karthus ult is ready.

Would not really make sense as well, wouldnt it?

Sounds like a pretty big nerf to my boy, so I'm going to have to say "No". That would be like advertising how much Warwick would heal through suppression.

IIRC, Riot originally intended to give ekko a grey health indicator for how much his ult would heal him, but decided that between that and the shield, his health bar became too busy and scrapped the idea, instead implementing it later with the kench. Also the grey health portion would be there at all times that his ult was off of cooldown, which would take up a big chunk of the room on his health bar (especially on a squishy ekko -- which is how he was intended to be), which leads to visual clutter and lack of clarity, unlike TK, who simply swaps out red/blue for grey without having to compress his existing health bar.

Any buff to Ekko is a buff I will not support until his laning phase is changed.
