GLP Tank Ekko = New OP?
So I was just having some fun while playing some norms, when I got an idea. After seeing just how disgusting GLP was on Aurelion Sol, and with Protobelt on Ekko already being pretty effective, wouldn't GLP also be extremely strong on Ekko? So, I tested it out, facing a Rammus top and then proceeding to stomp the enemy team off the face of the earth. I know what you're thinking, "Rammus was just bad" which I don't disagree with. He didn't get any mr vs a Ekko and made really dumb decisions, but that doesn't change the fact that this build has the potential to absolutely dominate solo Q just like the old tank Ekko did, but rushing GLP instead of iceborn. Just to test things out, I also purchased Iceborn on top of GLP and the results were terrifying. The slows from your Q, GLP, and Iceborn along with the stun from his w and just everything in Ekko's kit in general just result in a complete monster who can pick and choose his fights as he pleases, diving when he wants to, peeling when he wants to, and deleting the enemies' carries when he wants to. This can potentially be the return of the Tank Ekko Top that we had all grown to know and hate in the past. I finished 10/1/4 that game, and although the argument could be made that the enemy team was just bad in general, and even though that could very well be true, I still believe that this disgusting build will result in the rebirth of Ekko in the meta. I will definitely continue testing this build out and making sure that I just didn't get lucky that game, but I definitely recommend you all trying this build out yourself, and gaining some freelo in the process, before Riot gets out their Nerf guns to shoot this guy down.
This has been Ediarai, and I'm out!
