So, let's speak about how to play Ekko. I don't like is kit "theme" too, i find it less "time theme" and more oriented to the lol meta. And that blabla stuff. (Also don't like is design, feel like some cheap manga hero)

Although, i think he can be downright strong as a jungler/mid assassin. I actually think that he have a chance as a support, even if he feel as a weaker version of leona Leona (she is more tanky and survive more when she use her E+Q combo).

As an assassin jungler/mid, in the other hand, he can be downright strong. He have lot of slow and gap closer, to get near that damn long range opponent (Annie) and get a kill. That work well as a jungler too, it's not like slow on jungler never worked to begin whit (Sejuani). My question is about how much AP his kit absorb, I could find only that his ult have a strong AP contribution (1.1, like garen E but for an AP user). His ultimate, also, for me can work best only as a jungler, if he can control it and decide for himself when to pop back (if it have a tot second that are fixxed and he can't interact whit, it is hand down UP and none will EVER use it) he can use it for strong gank. he will just gank from behind the team, pop ult, slow, and if enemy team back-down to the tower, pop it for a ton of damage. He can also use it as an "escape button from duel i'm losing", BUT if used that way, u can miss a ton of kill if it the ult pop before u get the kill (think at all that time the opponent escape under tower... than think that u magically warp back before casting your ranged ability. I know i would ragequit the game.)

Also, his kit feel really good for team fight, like sej or vel (Velkoz). Lot of AOE damage whit slow and stun? How could that go wrong? Just splash everything on the middle, and u get a quadrakill. Especially if he have low cool-down.

He can also build a bit tanky while still building a lot of damage. Unlike AD champion, that don't have a AD/armor item, AP can build item 3001 item 3060 item 3025 item 3157 , letting him stac defensive stat (he may need them, as a melee champ) and damage together. I don't say it's a good build, i say it is a possible one. having them on top of a warmong and a guardian angel could work.

I would explore such possibility myself if i was on the PBE, to be franc. Someone have more complex idea/information on how to exploit is kit?
