Why not Let ekko ult through cc?

MunchCrunchLunch··1 votes·1,485 views

I mean thats really the main reason why people build him as a tank and not ap. its because one cc. and you die. last game i even went with some hp. and an armor item and rest is ap. and i died in 0.8 seconds on this champion. i had no time to ult though cc. please consider making him ult through cc. what i see on the pbe. is pretty lame. its not gonna change the fact that ap ekko is absolute shit. infact hes losing late game damage on passive for what. 10% ap ratio increase on Q. lol. and the slow removal basically makes him way worse in lane. as if he isn't bullied by pretty much every single mid laner. I don't know how will you fix him. but delayed damage assassin? no. hes basically a super squishy fighter. consider making his W shield last. significantly longer and give him some resistances based on ap. or people will still build him as tank. even after the slow removal. he will still be built as a tank i can guarntee you that

i mean ekko is achampion i enjoy. but i can't play him right now because hes terrible. i used to have close to 70% wr on him and after the multiple nerfs not even ap ekko is bearable anymore. i used to go ap too but hes too damn weak. way too weak.

every time I play this champion. i either ult too early before i get anything out of it. or die, rengar is getting a QSS on a basic ability that has a heal similar to ekko's ult but ekko can't go through cc. c'mon now.

Why not Let REWORKED ekko ult through cc?

Big Lincoln4 votes

yeah that's what we need

land your CC on a highly mobile assassin and get outplayed because his R frees him through cc

how do you get outplayed if hes gonna R to safety? zed and fizz have invulnerability. and ekko has less damage than both of them.

i know people here hate ekko but lets be reasonable hes fucking awful.

Do your posts just get worse with time passing? His ult recovers his health, deals damage, and transports him somewhere else. If it couldn't be cc'd it would b e broken as shit. If kat got immunity when she ulted, that would be stupid. And to add on, yes its an escape like ahri's but ahri sint recovering health.

his Ult already is a free escape, so no.

free escape? how does he escape if he gets cced? hes predictable. and its his ULTIMATE. its not a basic ability. if i can't use it 9/10 times. its absolute shit.

how many champions have a free escape on a basic ability? ahri has 3 free escapes with that logic.

Ahris Ult doesn't teleport her 1000 meters away and heal her on top on that. Also it's also countered by cc.

Literally the only way to counterplay his escape is cc. It's your fault when you don't time your engage correctly and get hit. You have your first and 2nd E to dodge on top on that.

Why should you let him get out of literally every engage no matter how stupid it was with the simple press of 1 Button.

If you only get to use Ekko's ult 9/10 times you arn't League of Legending properly.

I understand that actual AP Ekko is in a bad state right now but having his ultimate go through CC is no way to fix him, Ekko is an opportunist, he dances on the edge of fight till he finds the right time to engage procking his passive and repositioning away to proc it again once his abilities are up, that design is inherently weaker than any true assassin like Zed or Talon who need to engage only once to blow up a squishy, Ekko makes up for the the damage he's not dealing with the utility on his Q and W to assisst his team. Ekko isn't about going ham and getting hit by CC, he's about repositioning him self away from it and using the most of his short lived shield when he dives. By making his ult go through CC you deny him one of the most crucial gamplay aspects and ruin his playstyle.

Primarily, people build him tank because mathematically he deals more damage and serves as a tank for your team, your reason could be a secondary factor to why hp over ap. People who are able to successfully dodge cc with his ult should be rewarded by getting away, as supposed to tanking a huge cc from the enemy team just to ult away. It wouldn't be fair to the enemy to finally land a hook on you only for you to get away.

finally? how hard is it to cc ekko that just Es into your face in melee range and your a mage?. its 100% guarnteed. he has low damage for an assassin.

Ok, if Ekko decides to go ham by dashing and blinking. It's his responsibility to dodge all cc and spells the enemy he is fighting throws at him. It's his responsibility to not die when going ham. If he screws up and gets hit by cc, he should've done a better job dodging. It isn't fair for Ekko to constantly make misplays and have a get outta jail for free card. Yes I know his ult isn't spammable, but if I was that Ekko I'd build 40% cdr, and go ham every time I had ult on. If I fuck up and get cced, I can get away all the time. Imagine how broken that would be.

they should just let tank ekko continue to be a thing. I mean he was fine where he was after a few nerfs. no need to gut tank ekko all together and make him useless AP ekko. I guess he can be used as an AP jungler after the rework, i dunno, time will tell. but sux nonetheless

Chalizard1 votes

Hahaha, Oh, you're serious. Well I have planty reasons and one of them is that tank ekko would be even stronger and another is that ap ekko would be too strong too. Well actually I have only those 2 arguments but I guess it is enough.

I don't know, maybe not go in when it's the bad time would help you?
