As an Ekko main, he should get a look at in the upcoming rework
I've played alot of games as Ekko, just recently got Mas 6, but I think the gimmick that should make Ekko an interesting and unique champ has been lost. I had read a similar post talking about why Ekko fails as a champ, which at this point (after thinking about it) I kind of agree with.
I don't think Ekko's kit itself should be edited, besides his passive. He is a Utility Assassin, and I think that at the moment is fine. What should change, first, are his cooldowns, especially on his gap closing E and his Q. These both are good at trading early, which, again, is fine, but mid - late game, it is just so... aggravating. Combined with the passive that needs a nerf imo, it is just a hassle to deal with it, especially if they go tank. Increasing the cooldown makes using these skills matter a bit more.
Oh right, his gimmick. Ekko's thing, if you will, is a matter of making every second count. With the low cooldowns and his ult, however, I don't think it is the case anymore. Anyone who picks up Ekko can literally build a
and/or a
and make all-ins look easy. Combine that with low cooldowns (see the trend?) and Ekko has been watered down to a champ that can just be reckless with no punishment. I don't believe that is what Riot intended him to be.
His passive is a major annoyance to any enemy champion as well. The movement speed should get a slight reduction, but what should get a look at is the time between when an enemy champ can be targeted. I'm pretty sure it's...5? seconds. In lane early, this isn't that big a deal, but mid-late, yeah, no it's a bit unfair.
The last thing I think is that Ekko should be made a bit squishier. Once again, I believe this will make Ekko a champion that needs more planning. Similar to how LB has high mobility and high damage, but if she messes her combo and is caught is highly punished for it. I think that is what needs to happen to Ekko.
Overall I just want Ekko how he should be, a champion that is based on planning ahead, and making every move you make essential to whether you live or die. It is why I liked him when I first played this game, and I don't want him to just become another freelo.
Any thoughts? Agree? Disagree? Discuss pls, I like talking.
on him and boom 30% CD already, get a
or
and theres 40% or just have blue buff or on runes and you'll be good to go. This dilemma would also explain why tank yasuo or fizz have been complained about. I don't think its ekko's kit that is too good as a tank I think its just gives him the tools to make him the monster he was.
