Riot just nerfed in a really bad way because now his winrate on every role completely sucks. In Top its even the best still with 49%. But Midlane is 46% which is the lowest of all Midlaners and Jungle its 45% which is the second lowest of all Junglers. I am not sure if this has only to do with the Passive nerfs but I have to say as a guys that played AP for a long time. It feels very clunky with this kind of cooldown. And the Jungle clear just sucks now. I think it would be fine if Riot would revert the changes to the passive and the W and would put the movement speed you get if you get your 3rd stack of down again. Or they remove the slow of the passive. But as of right now he is one of the weakest Champions especially in the Roles Riot that Riot intended to get him in.

They were pretty sure it was going to happen, yeah.

But hey, it hit tank Ekko worse than it hit AP Ekko, and we're finally rid of Tank Ekko.

So all's well that ends well.

Top Ekko is within spitting distance of 50%, like all champs should hopefully be in their main lanes. Looks like the nerf was on point to my eyes; not too much, not too little.

People will probably have to adjust to the nerfs. Though if I remember correctly, mid Ekko was terrible before tank Ekko came back.

I honestly think Ekko works better as an AP bruiser than as an assassin. He seems to work better in longer engagements which are things that most assassins do poorly in.

So maybe we'll see him as a bruiser more in the future.

I feel like Ekko mains need a bit of time to adjust to that new 5 second per target cooldown. I've got 200+ Mastery Points on Ekko and honestly it's odd. Clearing the jungle is especially annoying now. I want to see his winrate next patch, should be a good indicator of how people are adapting.

i tried to jungle on the new ekko. was next to impossible. that passive change screwed him over in every lane but tank ekko feels it the least

this is how you build tank ekko now and still win item 3027 item 3009 item 3152 item 3025 item 3068

then item 3083 or item 3512 or item 3102 item 3001 depending on what your fighing

you get a nice chunk of ap but still a tanky lil bitch

I still go tank Ekko and dominate my lanes. The closest I had in a game in a while was a ryze because of his point and click stun that lasts forever
