Remove damage on Ekko ult but have it reset cooldowns instead?

I think it would fit his lore better, as well as help establish him as an assassin and not a mobile fighter who can nuke an entire team. It fits the whole redo theme a lot better. It would still give him really high damage, but add some counterplay as he still has to re-land his skillshots to kill you, and a team can still turn around and kill him before he gets off his abilities.

While it sounds good in theory, I think that it'd harm his kit. That's just my opinion.

I was wondering why they wouldnt do that. In the "seconds" video he was just going back in time with new knowledge and ready to fight one while still slightly injured, he wasnt coming back in a huge magic explosion that destroyed everything.
It's a time device not a suicide bomber type thing :O

I actually like the idea, it would lead to some cool escapes while also allowing enemies to chase him without getting ulted and dying instantly. Would it still give him back health?

Then his ult pretty much just becomes an escape. Hard to justify ulting into the enemy team when there is no damage

It fits the lore they setup with him.

Removes the retarded amount of power he shouldn't have.

I actually would be alright with Ekko if this occurred

are you nuts ? that has the potential to chain AoE CC for 4.5 seconds off of ONE champion. It also contributes to mobility creep much more, I rather he has commitment and damage instead of being another Leblanc /Zed

Yeah let's give him another chance to stun and slow because we were too stupid to walk around his after image.

I've seen Rewind in HoTS. I'll pass.

lDontLiftIcarry6/3/2015, 7:38:12 PM2 votes

rewind is broken. lol thats even worse than his ult doing damage. The fact is that his ult has invul timer.

There should ve a .5-1 second cast delay on his ult. And no invul timer. that simple. and half the scaling/base of his shield on W.

His Ultimate needs either: a.) Higher cooldown. b.) Less damage or no damage. c.) Mana Cost.

Seriously, look at what his Ultimate does. Given that everything else on his kit deals high damage and some form of CC, why does his ultimate get to be a Get Out of Jail Free Card AND decent damage? Why is that okay?

I would rather have it be a really short cooldown (10 seconds?) then I think he would be even more fun to play. He wouldn't need to regenerate health (he doesn't seem to do that in the video) but it could restore his cooldowns. A ramping mana cost would be good for a change like this too. Right now he doesnt feel like a timetraveler, he just feels like this kid that randomly teleports somewhere every 60 seconds.

he wouldnt be an assassin anymore.. he would lose alot of kill potential... he would be similar to diana.. just way harder to play with way less reward.

REVERSING POLARITY thread. Ekko is balanced compared to all other assassins.

Caytheles9/9/2015, 7:03:44 AM1 votes

Ekko seems fine how he is, I dont play him alot, but he does seem to fit in a pretty good place of Balance. Vs him, as him, and with him.
