I know someone's going to bring up it, so here it is. Of course we still have to wait for the PBE.

There are going to be complaints about everything, what's the point.

"He's too mobile" "He does too much damage" "His CC is ridiculous" "His ult is OP" "He's impossible to gank" "He does too little damage" "His CC is too unreliable" "His ult should go back farther"

There, I just summed up the next week of these boards. About a week from now everyone will lock onto a single topic and ram their face into it for another week or two, at which point Riot will probably make an educated change to balance him that doesn't even involve what people were talking about.

Wait, you forgot to QQ about his itemization, base stats, range, how weak/strong his counters are, and his personality.

I'm surprised he is AP, since he looked like a melee AD assassin what with all his blade work. Otherwise, he looks fun to play as and actually somewhat fun to play against. It'll be nice to see what an assassin that probably can't 100-0 plays and feels like.

His passive would work much better if he was AD, or at least hybrid.

Nothing, people will complain about any champion on release.

"wah it says he has a high AP ratio on X skill so op wooooow this champ gonna get nerfed" summoner 3

Either that or "waaah, I can't one-shot everybody with one skill, he does no damage, buff everything"

Everything! He's overpowered, he's too strong, he has no counterplay, he's too powerful, he has no weaknessses...

Just when people thought they got free of Zed after the last nerf to his ult, they release Ekko's ult. Lmao Riotroll.

Well, people are already complaining that his ultimate isn't consistent with the video (because a cinematic trailer is totally the same thing as a gameplay trailer, apparently).
