DISCLAIMER If this post looks familiar that because i ended up typing this exact rant on a post currently on the boards(4/28). I got a lil carried away so i decided to make an actual thread.

Ekko is op.

You know it. I know it. I'm gonna complain like everyone else, but i'll use reason

Ekko has alway been my least favorite champion since his release. He has to many ways to one shot you when he's ap, he's always mobile, a percent health heal as a tank, a lot of damage and cc on all his abilities (passive proc on abilities), and the famous, whoops i fucked up button. or the woops your entire team fucked up button. Ever since he's popular again i've haven't gone many games without saying "Fuck Ekko"

Now they've even buffed ap Ekko. IMO tank Ekko is more bearable than that broken mess. I remember asking a diamond Ekko one trick, "why is Ekko receiving all these small buffs? wasn't he powerful without them" and he took about a minute to answer with the most general statement ever: "Yea, ekko deserved all of the buffs he got... blah blah some bs irrelevant reason" before those small buffs, ekko wasn't popular because he's a lil difficult do his his kit being based on the concept of outplaying. But the tactics he has are simple, yet overloaded with unneeded aspects. He has a huge ass shield, heal, and stun on an assassin, two of those aspects belong to the same ability (the same one that makes you invulernable and does the most damage in the entire game). Now that riot is going to continue to do what they did to yi, try to make tank ekko less appealing by giving ap ekko an unnecessary amount of scaling buffs while only reducing the base damages by a little bit at a time until the climax.

Yes people. Another Kassadin.

remember when they reworked kassadin trying to nerf him? He ended up being more broken as they increased his overall damage at the cost of his base damages. Hopefully riot will learn from they're previous mistakes and immediately go to the gutting stage (when they make the rift walk a rift step). I'm not sure what they can do besides reducing his scalings, and base values, but they need to do something before we have another kassadin.

If you look at ekko and kass though they're pretty similar, however kass is in a healthy state. Both hella bursty, insanely mobile, shields, added ap damage (two kinds) to aa's, and both at one time were perma-banned in ranked (ekko due to his current tank build, kass was busted as hell with his silence->ridiculous mobility/damage output). So riot, stop ekko before it's too late, use your prior knowledge. Nerf tank ekko, nerf ap ekko. Rework this kid .-.

TL:DR Riot needs to nerf ekko before it's too late.
