@Meddler why overnerfing Ekko but Zed no

Greetings sir, first i wanna say that the number of Ekko lovers not as huge as the number of Zed lovers and that does not mean you nerf Ekko to the ground. Balancing should be based on the power of a champion not about the number of people who love him. I believe ekko got nerfed to the ground not because he was op but because alot of people were crying and complaining to you because they dont know how to play against him. Now its very clear that Ekko is balanced atm, you can see that in the LCK and LPL, hes not a priority pick anymore as he was, most of the games ekko is not banned or even picked, while zed is very broken and banned in every game but u nerf ekko to the ground (6.11) and just revert zed's nerfs.. I remember u said in 6.8 that ur fine with tank Ekko shining in specific situations and its all about tradeoffs.. Now tank ekko almost deals no damage but u still nerfing his Q and R base damage which will insanely destroy ap Ekko in the lane and jg espicially early game..you said u wanted to nerf tank Ekko but these nerfs will kill both AP and Tank Ekk! Plz do what u say! I hope u balance champions correctly depending on their power not on how many people love them.. Ekko had his Q,E,R,Passive and W( 2 times) nerfed, this is too much on ekko,,, these nerfs enough to delete him. Please consider taking a look again on these huge nerfs and plz balance Op champions regardless how many people love them. thats totally unfair for ekko, ekko received four nerfs (Q,R,W and passive) in one patch (6.11) after receiving previously two nerfs (Q,E) in one patch (6.8) .. i think its totally too many nerfs on ekko which are enough to kill him and put him in jail again.. his mid lane and jungle win rate was not good and still not good. please consider looking back at these huge nerfs because theyre totally unfair for Ekko lovers. not because his lovers not as many as Zed's you nerf him to the ground.

Because as an assassin giving up damage for durability, he shouldn't be doing damage.

The only thing Ekko needs at the moment is that ridiculous wave clear that needs a nerf. Other than that he's fine.

edit: I mean the timewinder, its damage values are too high they need to be lowered a tiny bit then he's balanced.

yet yasuo can get nerfed into the ground from his release state and receive like 5 base armor as compensation yet no one says anything. These nerfs are fine. You say tank ekko doesn't do damage, but then you have to think "hmm a tank who's only cc is a very obvious very avoidable stationary circle" there has to be some reason to pick him and that reason is that he is tanky and can still hurt a considerable amount.

Ekko was hardly over nerfed at all. You just have to actually build AP items now to do damage. Ekko is easily the safest champ in the game, he shouldn't really be building tank or bruiser at all.
