Diamond Assassin main perspective: How you ruined Ekko riot =\

Arsames··3 votes·933 views

I am an Assassin main since I started playing this game (right before Zed was released, my favourite champion). Before Ekko was released, I knew he would become one of the most hated Assassins, because of his high burst heal and AoE stun, which no other Assassin had. I knew a lot of low elo players would cry about Ekko, like they do with most other Assassins. I was prepared for Ekko nerfs to his heal, to his stun, to his damage, to his mana etc. I was willing to accept nerfs and still play Ekko and master him, but 1 nerf totally ruined him for me. I didn't have the chance to play much Ekko and right when I did, after a couple of days, you nerfed his ULTIMATE DAMAGE RADIUS, which was already hard to hit. Nobody with a brain at decent Elo (no bronze/silver/gold) will get hit by the ghost placement, unless you get lucky in the heat of combat.

Ekko already had a hard to control and execute ult and you nerf it for no reason, making it harder to hit than ever before. After this, I didn't even bother, I just ignored Ekko, and that is saying something for an Assassin main.

Now you are buffing Ekko in other areas? Don't make me laugh, if you want Ekko to be viable, then restore his ULT radius, not these nonsense buffs to his CD and mana costs.

His ult never bothered me because I play him like he is. Reactive. He doesn't think about something until it's already happened. So that's how I play him.

Example: Enemy jungler comes in to gank me. Takes away all my health and flash. I think to myself damn if I had more health I can kill them both. (I w where I stand and flash away to safety). As soon as my w lands (which is most likely where the jungler and mid laner are cuz they are pushing me in to kill me). I go back in time 4 seconds to try again, but this time I have more health a shield and they are stunned and they are hurt.

I just feel like he is reactive champion with the same mechanics kinda like zed but I don't play zed reactively. I plan everything out before I go in on zed

His ult already makes him insane at escaping. Ok, let's fight. Oh no, I can't kill him! R! see ya later! This is what assassin should not have. Insane safety. Look at Talon: He can't kill anyone without ult, so he uses it to kill ppl, or to escape. Ekko can kill people without ult, or if he messes up - escape with it. There is no need for any additional buffs. His kit is overloaded as it is.

If Ekko kills you without using ult, you are terrible.

Said the unranked fr00b? rofl. There is a reason I am diamond ;) Ekko has extremely low damage, avoid third strike from passive, side step Q, he has no damage. Even if he lands all that, he still has low damage. Ekko can't burst anything down without ult, gitgud.

I don't play ranked. You have a problem with that? I don't see the difference between ranked and unranked, so I play blind pick, where I can pick champions I want.

See? Proof that even high elo players can be dumb as the rest of us.

Nothing I said is dumb, you don't understand the game at diamond level, I do.
