This is definitely a healthy and well designed champion.

Ah reading rainbow. The nostalgia.
its funny how he mentions the shield being busted then shows a bunch of clips where he stuns his opponent so the shield literally doesnt matter at all. This is why I dont get ekko complaints. The shield he never got to use got the most complaints...

BROKEN
God damn it magikarp why you gotta break the pattern
Also Blakinola is totally balanced.
Hi, I'm 
You want to know what makes me broken? Is it my double slowing, double stacking, double damage Q? Nah. Is it my large shield giving, 2 second stunning, also slowing, passively dealing % damage W? Nah. Is it my dash, blinking, damaging to everything E? Nah. Is it my health healing, super damaging, untenable ultimate? No. Is it my 3 staking, large damage on my passive. What, why? That's a huge no! So, what is it? Wait, its my base stats. Why didn't I know this before. If my Q were to deal less on its first cast, if my W were to cost more, my E as well, give 100 mana to the ultimate, and lower a lot of what I had in my base stats, then I should be fine, right?
Hi, I'm 
I have 1 damage ability. Say high to my Q. It can deal up to 600 (+180% AP) for the cost of 160 mana. If I land 2, I stun enemies for up to 1.5 seconds. My W only allows my to send out 2 Qs or allow another E. That's it... My E gives some bonus MS for 2.5 seconds. No longer... My R is my pride and joy, it may cost up to 175 mana, but I can revive a champion. My passive also allows for allies to level up 8% faster......... uh...... that's it. No allowed up to 5 seconds of bonus MS. No bonus AS. uh...
Day after watching this video i had my first game as Ekko.
I've built him as a tank. We won Had best score in my team (as my very 1st game with him)
Balanced as fuck.
Well. Are you guys happy now? No longer can Ekko do the stuff that made him a fun champ. I don't see the reasoning in having a 100 mana cost for his ult when his Q by itself reaches that height of cost in the later levels. I see people complaining about his shield and stun, but it seems as though no on knows that you actually have to predict where the enemy is gonna be AND try to lure them into it. There have been no complaints about his E.. for that I'm happy. What it all boils down to is.. no one wants to learn how to fight him. All they want is for him to be nerfed so hard that he becomes another Urgot.. someone who is rarely ever played because of just how much the community loathes him. Is his ulti scaring you? Bait it out. It's not very hard to run up to the clone and run back.. the hitbox for his ult is actually pretty damn small. Tired of his slows? His Q moves about as slow as you do after you get hit by it.. it's not very hard to dodge. Tahm Kench isn't gonna last very long before he's nerfed down to the shadow isles either. Someone is gonna find some way to complain about him, and just like Ekko and Yorick no one will remember his name. My only suggestion for the community is to man up and learn to fight against a champ instead of complaining til he's nerfed away. I know I'm gonna get flamed for this, but good lord.. the community is god awful when it comes to stuff like this. 'Nerf this champ.' 'Nerf that champ' 'Wtf I just got one-shotted because I don't wanna learn how to keep the enemy from getting fed' 'Pfft armor and mr? Who needs that' Get over it people. Riot is the company that makes the game and the champs.. we're the ones playing it. I don't see any of you going through and thinking up a good AP scale for an champ, or exactly how much attack speed they will gain per level. Ekko was pretty balance until you all saw him in game. You go in and it's a bad trade? Ulti out, but you can't do it for a short while and you're vulnerable. Wanna make sure he can't ulti? Stunlock him. Goodness guys..
Well. Are you guys happy now? No longer can Ekko do the stuff that made him a fun champ.
Yes...yes we are. His overloaded kit took some hits to SOME of the things that made him unfun to play against? Good fucking riddance. Hit him again Riot.
So no one decided to take into account that his ridiculous mana hunger was enough to keep him from doing much? If you threw more than four Q's you were close to half mana, and if you were really trying you'd be out of mana by the time someone is lined up for his ult. I'm not against a little toning down of the AP scaling on his ult, but it needs to be high. If someone is enough of a blithering idiot to sit on his clone they deserve to be killed off. But seriously... He's not that hard to play against. If you die to him it's your fault.. God people don't wanna learn how to play around other champs.
I'm not against a little toning down of the AP scaling on his ult, but it needs to be high.
For how much utility he has, there is no reason he should get this much damage. He can keep the damage and sacrifice his utility, or keep the BS sticking power and mobility, but have his damage ran over with a truck.
He can't have both, Riot knows this, but they remain afraid of touching him.
