Why the hell did Ekko get buffed?

He needs major nerfs.

Like where?

His ultimate is too hard to use for a nuke.

His W requires exceptionally good prediction, idiot melee champs and/or the enemy team having no mobility whatsoever (no Flash)

His Q has a whopping .1 AP ratio first hit. Don't even get me started on trying to land the 2nd part without being in their face.

All that's left is his passive and E. E is mediocre mobility spell and his passive requires 3 procs, and you definitely need to be in melee to fulfill that.

Yeah man, he's so OP that he manages to be the most banned mid laner and the lowest win rate mid laner at the same time. We can do better. 80% ban rate and 40% win rate is the goal boys!

It only takes a half decent opponent to defeat an ekko.

I'm being serious. I've played against half decent opponents.

Because he's terribad right now? It's too bad Riot made him so broken, Leblanc 2.0

Hey, I really don't like to play against Ekko but let's be honest he is garbage. If you're not Faker on him, I would not be pleasured to see him in my team.

People ban annoying champs. like Ekko or LB but they are in fact fairly weak outside of niche cases. For example, Ekko barely qualifies as viable outside of the JG. They are frustrating but not OP and sport some of the lowest winrates in the game. People just ban champions that are unpredictable/have high burst but stuff like Runeglaive Ezreal doesn't actually perform that well.

To sum up, Ekko is highly overrated and not a great choice in most situations. Those who complain about him now do so through a narrow and unobjective lens.

I don't really have a problem playing aganist Ekko, but holy shit, how frustrating that maggot is...
