Nerf his base damages and buff AP ratios, and Full AP Ekko becomes stupidly OP and it encourages him to build one or two AP items for crazy damage. Nerf AP ratios and buff bases, and he goes full tank or ap tank. He has too much utility for an assassin, which predisposes him to going tanky simply because he has a slow, an aoe stun, another slow, a speed boost, an AOE burst even when not full AP, and stupid chase potential.
AlwaysByMySide1 votesThe solution is simple: make him a tank.
Hethalean1 votesYeah, that was one of my worries when they spoiled his kit. I thought to myself "Why is so much CC, mobility, and surviveability loaded onto this assassin kit?"
LoLKiru1 votesWould simply lowering his bases while keeping his scaling the same shove him into unviability? Genuinely asking here.
His scaling seems to be pretty good compared to most AP users (he gets a 300% total ratio out of a single rotation), but his higher than average bases seem to be a part of the issue here since they let him do solid damage, without really building for it.
