Ekko is ruining league

There are many reason why I think Ekko is an unfair champion, but the ones that bother me the most in no specific order are the following:

The passive on his w gives bonus damage on a percentage basis for people below 30% health, and it can scale well above the flat 8% blade of the ruined king gives.. i saw someone at 12% bonus.. people build a whole item for a lesser powerful version of his passive

His ult basically ruins team fighting for two reasons

He can either completely escape an otherwise well-executed attack or gank (which I think is fair maybe because that's his whole thing)

But more likely, he'll just run in circles IN a team fight and when he gets low he'll activate it and blow up for 1000+ damage, because it has over a 1.0 AP scaling, so he hits everyone around him for a ton... and if that wasnt bad enough he gets healed for A TON of health. I find this ridiculous because Ekko players dont have to use meaningful decision making when ulting.. it's either the best defensive ability in the game or an extremely overpowered offensive nuke.

Not to mention he doesnt even have to plan it.. it's just always following him so at any point in time he could use it. I think the only way this ult could be fair is if it did no damage at all.. because it is an escape after all, and you had to activate it before going into a fight, because as it is the ability requires no skill or thought at all.

His shield, although not lasting very long scales way too well also.

And lastly, if you throw the stun field right in front of yourself before going into a fight, you stun your opponent without the potential of counterplay.

The most recent Ekko I spectated had 350 AP and was hitting the following

1000+ for his ult Stunning for 2.25 seconds Shield for 700+ He stuns, he slows, he heals, he has an escape, he has a dash, Botrk passive, his normal passive increases autos scaling with AP,

in my opinion riot must nerf Ekko or the game will be ruined.

I am thinking about leaving league and move back when this champ is fixed, riot please balance a champion before releasing it, if the strategy of riot is to release an overpowered champion just to make its sale, its ruining the game for the rest of us

I don't understand why people are constantly bitching on this board. Riot delivers a new champion and everyone whines and complains.

He was JUST released YESTERDAY. He will be refined for live soon enough. And people are acting like he's the most broken shit leauge has ever seen.

Kalista RekSai were op AF when they launched and no one knew how to play against em either. This ain't new son.

Me, personally, am glad to see a new champ I actually like. I started when kalista came out. And since then I haven't liked any of the releases.

{quoted} 1000+ for his ult Stunning for 2.25 seconds Shield for 700+

1000+ damage on people who don't realize that stepping away from the "shadow" will keep his ult from doing damage (the aoe is not that big). The stun does seem to last a little long but it's a good thing you have 3 seconds to react to it. Yeah a 700+ shield is nice, but like you said it doesn't last very long and it has a 3 second wind up before he gets the shield. If he doesn't have it you can practically breathe on him and he dies.

Is he really that strong? I've lost almost every game hes been on my team guess people haven't figured them out yet.
