Why do we ignore Ekko?

PhearBunny··5 votes·486 views

His kit is so outrageously overloaded. He is the only champ in the game that does EVERYTHING. And not only does he do EVERYTHING, he does it all at a highly effective level.

Engage? yep. Disengage? yep. Burst? yep. Sustained damage? yep. Mobility? Tons of it. Heals? A full on mongoloidian reset. Tanky? Basically. Pick potential? Yep. Able to be picked? No, not really under realistic cicumstances.

Why do we ignore Ekko?

Cause his attack patterns are extremely predictable. People only complain about him when A. he's cheesing some really tanky build that makes him both a damage threat and unkillable. B. mage mains are triggered that he has waveclear.

no ekko actually has minimal counterplay because he can do everything (I also play him myself occassionaly,not a salty mage main )

yeah coming from someone with zed in their name lets face it if a zed ults an ekko it usually backfires by ekko ulting back and watching as the zed scrambles away to safety or either dying

thats why i said i play him myself, he takes little to no skill to play and is extremely effective

yeah it seems like riot has forgotten about him, kassadin and vel'koz in terms of how unbalanced they are

EXTREME DELAY AND UNRELIABILITY ON EVERYTHING TO THE POINT WHERE HE IS TROLL PICK? yep.

Ekko is an attempt at something called a spellblade. He does everything but he does nothing well. Other champions do absolutely everything better than him.

Your statements are true, he does all that but not to the level other champions can.

It is okay, Riot is buffing him next patch(if it goes through)

What's the buff

200% damage to monsters and minions on his passive.

That's already on live, but its nowhere near as influential as you think, its a very light buff to his early clear, and good midgame clears, which is at the point jg assassins are strongest usually. esp in lower div's where people don't often want to group (mine included) against assassins and make them not as useful.

Oh its live okay. Every little buff even if it is small is still a buff.

Because then they would have to take a look at Lee Sin and Riot doesn't want to touch the golden boy.

Because all of the things you listed; "Oh I dodged his really telegraphed W. Now he has to ult or he dies."

If you're getting smashed by an ekko, he's just better than you, either mechanically or intellectually
