"champions are too simple and binary riot fix them"

releases bard, yasuo, reksai, gnar, kalista WOW RIOT WTF CHAMPIONS ARE TOO OVERLOADED AND YOU'RE TRYING TOO HARD TO COMPLEX

not to mention all of the pre-emptive bitching i've seen about River King so far.

"hurrhurr he gonna have 5 passives 3 knockups, 2 stuns, and a slow hurr hurr i say this in every thread want to be my friend?"

riot obviously doesn't care about your stupid input that has no merit aside from "QQ OP PLS NERF" or "MORE BANS 2 MANY BROKENS"

just take some time, read about their kits, and figure out what they're weak against. then exploit it.

i know for a fact ekko isn't op. know why? because traditional long range mids beat him. bruisers/ap bruisers beat him. sorry if katarina, akali, zed, and extremely short range mages dont beat him. adjust your playstyle.

you wanna know who's really op? (can literally do EVERYTHING) (huge q hitbox, get out of jail free w) (AA cancels, massive ad steroids, resourceless, mobile) (one of the only champions who can go from 1/7 to 10/7 in 2 teamfights. mobile, resourceless, low cooldowns, resets on kill) (stupidly mobile, true damage, nearly impossible to gank) (lane bully to the max/free stats come late game)(olaf r in her e+3 second snare, nope not op)(she farms champions, a terror in botlane and top, meh in mid because counterplay through long range)

but nah. ekko with his extremely telegraphed q, w, and e is op.

the only champion i've seen in the last year that was gamebreakingly op on release is (25% jump back boost was op as fuck)

was balanced on release, but noobs couldn't figure him out, begged for buffs, then screamed for nerfs until he got smashed with the nerf bat, and finally brought to a slightly sub 50 winrate.

is very balanced

was underpowered on release like the community wanted for a champion, and now gets rage from everyone when he gets picked

was kind of overtuned. too much tankiness and damage combined through his w passive. nerfed his base stats in mini and mega, and cooldowns for q based on that. now balanced.

tl;dr there were/still are MUCH worse offenders than ekko when it comes to being OP. he is just permabanned right now due to people not wanting to play against him, and therefore they never actually figure out his patterns because he's NEVER played.
