So, How do you deal with a Tank Ekko?

Elindiir··1 votes·437 views

Ekko is an annoying champ that has an answer to everything... He has dashes, a slow, an AOE stun, and an ult that makes it so that all that damage you did to him is denied, you get hit with a lot of damage and then he goes back to a safe place... Riot admits that his outplay potential in in his squishiness, but when someone builds him tank, he still hits like a truck and you can't kill him....

So, how do you deal with this?

If he builds tank, his damage is negligible. Peel him as necessary, but focus on his teammates instead.

So, what do you do if you are playing one of the many midlaners that has no disengage like Diana Akali

Often I see him also rush item 3001 first item

The same thing you do with champs with no disengage in every scenario......

Since when Akali lacks a disengage ? She has her invisibility and her ult (to a minion) to escape. Diana isn't really meant to disengage, but you can use your slow and ult to escape.

In addition, you can build item 3100 and item 3285 for mobility, and generally try to avoid engagements you don't think you'll win.

Ekko isn't usually used in mid lane, (where diana and akali are seen), but both Akali and Diana are assasins, which are supposed to be countered by tanks.

"Ekko isn't usually used in mid lane"

Never thought I would ever read that..... I see him more mid than anywhere else though...

It is still a hell of a lane... only having 20 CS at lv 6

I tend to see Ekko mostly top lane and in the jungle, honestly

the same way to deal with other tanks.

better than laning against yasuo.

I'd rather lane against Yasuo...

Yasuo keeps me from starting my combos... Ekko lets my combos happen, and then cancels out the result and dealing a (comparable) ton of damage in the process.

I rarely run into Ekko, but I find lanning against him pretty easily, his Q slows down once it hits a minion making it simple to dodge. You can back off if he yells meaning he's gonna use his W.

As for killing tank Ekko I have no idea. As you said he is super slippery with a ranged slow and a dash gap closer that allows him to go through walls.

Maybe you can tell your team kill him first before starting a teamfight. I know how you feel though, when he's tanky in a team fight and stuns 3-5 members of your team, it's pretty ugly
