Can you pls buff Ekko

Sankura87·Jan 31, 2016·3 votes·975 views

Hes a squishy that has to to get in melee range to kill and if his passive doesnt kill them he has no real escape .(HES NOT AKALI) because his shield and stun that he has to be in takes 3 seconds to go off and is on a long cd

Why do I have to position myself at the right moment for when my q comes back to me to get that 2nd hit and then e to the opposing champion to get my passive.

What is he suppose to do in the mean time in between time when his passive is on cd . His q does not do enough damage unless its returning to you which people can easily avoid . Maybe make it come out faster or have longer range.

I keep hearing people say he has a huge kit . His slow from his q that is very ineffective, his situational long activation shield and stun. Only thing I can kind of see a argument with is his ult which gives im a 2nd life

From what I deciphered from your post is...

You do not know how to use Ekko properly.

Sankura87Jan 31, 20161 votes

PLS enlighten me with your argument instead of a baseless comment with no examples

His q only does real damage when coming back to you

For example you press q , it lands on the opposing champion . You try and line up with your q so it hits him on the way back, so you can E him for your passive

Does his w not have a long cd and activation ? Is it not easy to avoid his q on the return? when he e's to kill does it not put him in melee range?

"Oh but his q slows" What is the point of this if I'm so far away . Also his q should not stall on hit, it should come right back on contact with the champion. Id rather have no slow at all for a trade off for this.

Have you tried to EQ AA and use passive to back off?

It puts me in melee range and depending on who im against I have to factor in slows and stuns. Sometimes when I have done that just right before I can get the aa off they will be out of range before i can get my passive off unless i put a lot of as runes on but then i have to sacrifice ap , penetration or movement speed runes

You kinda have to get in melee range. He's kind of a melee champion.

I don't see how you can't get an AA off. E is an auto attack ,throw Q at the them then your AA should be off CD, Q slows them so you should be able to reach out and touch them. You proc passive for da damage and back off with the move speed.

And just to add you can use your W for zone control to get the enemy laner to back off or to escape ganks if your top lane. To escape the gank you have to judge where the enemy will contact you, towards your turret somewhere. If you time it right you will get a shield and the jg/top lane will get stunned for easy escape. Or you can turn and burn if you got the damage.

If hes a melee champion why is his q range?

E in to him thats 1 hit, now hes running from me and I have to make sure I'm moving fast enough and have enough Aspeed to get the AA off then I could q him which makes 3 hits total(my passive) . If he outdamages me im stuck in melee range but yea I could could use my q to back out . I just dont thinks thats a fair trade or that Ekko should have to do all that while having low Hp, putting himself in melee range . Is he suppose to be a range or melee champion because if hes melee they need to buff his hp and survivability .

He has his ult and w , which to me is not sufficient

I could put red attack speed runes , get movement speed quints ,while having ap blues ,and yellow hplvl runes but I still feel his current state is bad. They nerfed base attack speed , movement, ap ratio they completetly gutted him and then when people found away around the nerfs to make him tanky they took that away.

"e in to him thats 1 hit, now he's running". at this point you q. 2nd hit. he's slowed. auto, slowed even more, passive procs and you either back off, or keep going in. since he's been slowed twice at this point, your return q hits him (unless they flash or blink.) It is a fair trade because of ekko's ult. That is his survivability. His ult and his w. those are sufficient. if they're still fighting you in melee range throw your w on top of you. if they stay to fight, you get a stun and if they don't you get a shield. if things go wrong ult. his q is ranged so he can have some poke in lane and not get destroyed by any ranged champions. He's supposed to be melee and he is. lots of melee champions have ranged abilities, have you not been playing this game for long? he hasn't been gutted at all. He's fun to play and one of my go-to's for jungle and mid.

Lol at his w a timed stun that I have to be inside that also takes 3 seconds to activate and his ult which should be used offensivley imo as his survivability

LIke i said above. If you can't land the w (plan it out ahead of time and land it) or his q, and you can't use his ult properly...you are a bad ekko and need to learn how to actually play him. I'm sorry that you're so blind that you can't accept the help that people have tried to give you. If you don't accept any help, you are beyond help.

Riot needs to fix this its beyond help he should not have to do all those things to play properly how can you not see this.

Most overly complex champ thats demands so much for something so simple I have ever played. Theres a reason why you dont see him played in korea e championships

BladeSteelJan 31, 20163 votes

Then don't play him. They will not change it, and honestly, many people have immense success with him. YOU are beyond help. and looking at your match history...you haven't even played ekko. The only champion you've played on that account is ryze. So maybe actually play him before you say he's crap.

Most overly complexed champion that requires so much for the simplest of things I have ever played. I am not satisfied with a lower cd at the lower lvls it is not enough

These are the players who RIOT balances champions around. Highly skilled players who know what they are doing.

You summed up quite perfectly everything that's wrong with this cancerous, broken champ. Every time I play vs Ekko, I swear I get sick. I hope Riot can pay my medical bills. [slayer-jinx-wink]

"Does his w not have a long cd and activation ? Is it not easy to avoid his q on the return? when he e's to kill does it not put him in melee range?" all these things separate the good ekkos from the bad ones. if you can land those w's and q's and know when to go in you're a good ekko. if not..you're bad and need to practice and get better. You shouldn't expect to land every single q perfectly every time, but most of the time you will if you play him properly.

You mention he got a buff then tell me to look it up? Are u mad? Anyway where do go to see , I'm not familiar with PBE

Oh a lower q cd at earlier stages well that could help a little . I still think his q should return immediately when it hits another champion instead of stalling for a slow. Ty Google

Sankura87Jan 31, 20161 votes

Riot change his Q so that when it hits a enemy champion it comes right back on contact and lower his W cd and activation pretty simple fixes
