As title says, what is people's thoughts on him so far? I have only had one experience with him so far and suffice to say I got wtfowned. He is very brutal it seems. Anyone have any tips on how to fight against him or play as him? Think he is too weak or strong? Talk about it. I am curious to see people's view on him.
I just saw someone compare his q to Lux's e and I decided to look at the numbers and I'm actually kind of annoyed. Ekko's Q costs 30 less mana at max rank, has a 3 second shorter cooldown at max rank, deals 40 (20% AP) more damage, and slows for 24% more. Lux's e only gets 25 additional range.
Not even counting his 2.25 second stun/blinks/ridiculous ult ratios (130% AP Ratio? Really???), how did he get put through? It doesn't seem very fair that he has about the same range as Lux(Just an example) but deals incredibly more damage.
The thing is that melee champs CAN'T even chase him after a good trade. (Which is hard since of that dang shield and poke) That hologram trails behind him while he flees and it would heal him a enormous amount while doing nuke damage. It totally denies a kill for melees.
I've only went up against one of them so far because if I'm in charge of banning, he will never be in a game. (For now at least)
The one I went up against wasn't difficult and we walked all over him. He's squishy, so focusing him or the ADC will usually win the team fight straight up.
He's got interesting skills and I can see how (once mastered) he has potential to be a serious problem in games.
His Q is very nice, mana cost will probably go up His W is the biggest worry, early game it takes much skill to land, but late game in big team fights it's easy to miss, but really, that's your fault not his :P E is very nice, though often the range is confusing, (same with W) it feels like you're in range when you're not, especially with E and speed boost, it's weird when you "can't" catch a slower opponent with a double dash, but that's probably cause I'm just new to him
His R, this is where a nerf is most likely incoming. The idea of using it to escape or do damage is why it has such high ratios, and since he's a fighter, many will cross build him with AS and/or armour + hp. But if you full AP him, and watch your positioning, he wrecks team fights with Yasuo level Jukes. I have engaged, almost died, flashed out to run away then ulti back in for easy triple kill i think 3 / 4 games. (only played him 4 times) The damage on his ulti late game is too much, I love it, but I know it'll get reduced (or they will add some other weakness)
My Build so far:
Core:
Main
/
(depending on ahead or behind)
As you can see, not much magic pen or CDR, cause of his high scaling, deathcap should be in there, but his HP is SO low as a trade off. Looking at using Ludens Echo OR Lichbane, though they work very well together
Want to make room for:
and for tank builds 
I think if I don't use abyssal (or when it's changed) I'll work in 
to help with his engages, and or 
and
Once I am happy with a combination, I'll try him in ranked
31 minutes wait time in team builder. Those are my thoughts right now....
Not going into discussion about his balance (I'm not knowledgable for stuff like that), I wonder why they made the choice that enemies can't see his W indicator until it's about to go off. I guess it was TOO blatant or something?
Speaking of which, if he uses his W in a bush, would it reveal him to the enemy?
He is weak vs other burst dmg dealers, also ult reliant to deal massive damage (unless super ahead)
He can jungle.
I am happy I can use an AP jungler.
