Isn't Ekko overpowered ?

  1. I feel like he deals way too much damage, is way too safe for what he does. I mean take a look at Diana or Lissandra, both of them have a all-in skill and can't go back, and once there will try to deal as much damage as possible with their combos. Ekko on the other hand has a lot of safety, first comes his dash, then his shield + 2seconds stun + his "oh shit" R button. I mean his passive itself is like 60% of the damage in his kit, and is available from level 1, and allows him to burst at level 2. Just my thoughts, I just feel it frustrating to face an Ekko because you can't all-in him, he'll press R and run away, but if you get all-in by him, you got near to no chance to escape

Ekko main here so lets talk. So lets see your gripes about Ekko Look at my games with him and look when I play against him. He is very easy to abuse early in lane as his CDs early are tough and Using your Q to farm can accidentally push the lane if not done right and using 50 mana to get 1 minion is also rough. But overall his "oh shit" button yes he can use it for defense and offense but it is a huge amount of damage or you just save your own life sometimes at least.

Ekko is currently sitting at a 50.8% win rate which is good not insane and in fact He is ranked 45th in terms of Winrate with Urgot right above him (never thought I'd see the day). I have almost a 55% win rate with him, but I also have over 800 games on this champ.

Escaping isnt that bad anymore when Ekko was first released his Passive slowed enemies and gave him speed. That was broken as shit I will admit, but now only Q slows.

His W is best for defensive plays as offensively it is hard to predict where to drop it, but if I get a gank from a jungle I time it so by the time the jungler or laner get to me it pops. Otherwise it is a very Long CD even rank 5 and 40% CD.

Please do not call my Main OP He is in a good spot barely in the top 50.

He's a bit like Riven in that he's extremely easy to fuck up on and extremely rewarding when mained

His "oh shit button" is more than that. That's what bad ekkos will use it for. It's only an "oh shit" button in the worst scenarios, like a jungler coming out of nowhere when you thought you were clear to dive. My favorite use for it is coming out of zh and blowing up everyone around me

U can't really compare ekko to lissandra. she's a straight up mage, an anti assassin mage infact. Diana and ekko is more comparable... however her damage is all upfront, a large amount of ekko's damage is backloaded. The shield to use to max effect (the stun) is hard to land. Using his ult as a "get out" button denies a helluva lot of damage so is kinda fair. Most of his abilities are skillshots and extremely telegraphed, if you have cc, save it for when he e's on you.

I actually agree with this because he's just overloaded as heck. He has waveclear in the form of high base damage on his Q, a lot of survivability due to his rather tanky buildpaths, large W shield and ultimate, and has quite a bit of mobility. All of this plus the damage of an assassin makes him a bit too strong imo.

Considering this game is League of Assassins currently in the mid lane, I doubt he'll ever see any nerfs.

Yeah, it is, but not so much people play him

It's like Wukong. Did u see anyone complaining him before this patch? He was that op since some time ago, but nobody cared

Also, I see closer a buff to Ekko than a nerf, knowing how Riot works

The same can be said for multiple champions in regards to avoiding all ins, as for diana and liss, diana can make up for he lack of escape by just flat out nuking the before they can react, basically destroying an ekko unless he is spamming that R, dunno about liss damage but her R is a huge CC or anti CC that heals, that also craps on ekko, or at least gives you a wider window to kill him. those champs are meant to all in and and stay in as hey have kits that are designed for it, Ekko's is not, his whole shtick is to weave in and out of the fight avoiding everything he can and ulting when he is low.

The thing about ekko right now is he is a bit like yasuo, he is only good if the person using him is good. though his turret dives are absurd they are well telegraphed and easily avoidable unless he is fed to high heaven and can just run you down through 2 turrets after walking through his W
