What is with the recent Ekko bans?

Alright so in the last 10 normal games ive played ekko has been banned, even when I ask him to not be since I play him and enjoy doing so. What is causing people to want to ban him all of a sudden? Other than the trolls who think its funny when in reality it can and will impact the game but oh well. He's not broken by an means, landing his w and ulti are a pain sometimes, he has really good ganks and an AP/Tank build suits him well. Is it his recent action in worlds? It's literally just been within the last week that he's started getting banned consistently

LOL I can't imagine people banning Ekko now and days unless you know the other player and know their best champ is Ekko.

question 1: what rank are you?

question 2: how many games do you see that have unusual bans?(besides ekko)

question 3: if there has ever been and ekko in the game did he carry the game?

possible answer 1: maybe the people that are banning him are playing champion that has a hard time against an ekko?

possible answer 2: maybe you just ran into an unlucky assortment of matches where someone previously played against an ekko and thought the ban was necessary

possible answer 3: maybe trolling/too low too understand ekko's mechs? this answer will be marked out if your a high enough rank

It's Ekko free week and people are more likely to run into Ekko. There are people who hate playing against Ekko.

After his free week is over you'll see less bans.
