how tho..when you 1v1 him, even one that isn't fed he just ults when he's about to die and then continues attacking you.

Lol. I play ekko and have sense his release and he is fun. To help you understand how ekko works and his weaknesses it is usually better to play him then you would have better understanding. But basically is pokes and better at out playing him and making sure you have the ability to fully commit when going in and either a escape or enough damage and health left to counter his ult. If ekko ults that's the best time to capitalize on him. There are harder champs then ekko to try to counter. He has been knocked down a peg or 2 in recent patches.

He's different from your regular assassin. When you try to burst him down he ults and now all your skills are on cooldown.

Considering you can counter his E blink auto with cassiopeia's W grounding poison. Wonder if the same would apply to his ultimate? Because if that happens since technically it does make him do a flash/dash/etc. whatever you call it type of movement. Very least if it does work, then that means Ekko could be shut down long enough especially with the slow on a fully ranked up W to grant enough time to blast him hard with E, to likely make him take alot more damage before he can get out of the poison to R escape, which might simply result in him placing himself back in the poison so if the duration on it still exists, it will let you land a Q and some more Es on to him.

Course lets have a interesting idea, Likely wouldnt work but it would be pretty interesting if because Ekko's R target was standing in Cassiopeia's grounding poison field, he could not ultimate because he would technically be dashing into poison itself.

Never did test what happens if someone dashes mid way into cassio'peia's grounding poison if it would mid'way negate the dash or not. :/

Be some ridiculous fun plays with that mechanic at least and grant Cassio'peia even more viability thanks to that grounding mechanic. Makes me kinda wish we could see a few more champions (NOT ONES WHO COULD EXPLOIT IT HARD), that could make use of it. But once again, not champions like Miss fortune or Varus. ))
