Champion Reveal: Ekko, the Boy Who Shattered Time

Ekko seems well, different... I want to discus him. He seems like a high skill cap champ with a potential to confuse the shit out of his enemies and and has mobility in a way different than one might expect. So if you want to say something about Ekko just post what you want below.

P.S. I am going to do this with every new champ and champ rework.

His kit looks more and more insane. He has as much utility as a support and as much damage as a carry.

His kit is seriously the most overloaded kit ever made for a non-support.

Awesome Champ Idea. WORST BALANCE EVER.

If you really think about it, hes a really buffed up version of diana, look at the move set up, think about the armor, the passive, and so forth, look at dianas ult and then ekkos e, diana e to ekkos w and the q, im actually upset with ekko becoming a champ, the move set basically makes him just a bad ass version of diana, thats op as fuck......im very disappointed especially since im a huge fan of diana, and main with her.

He reminds me of Gnars kit lol. He has an AOE stun, he has a projectile that slows and returns to him, he also has a passive where every third auto he gains movement speed and deals extra damage. Also a re positioning tool. In retrospect they wont interact the same ingame but, just reminds me of Gnar.

Sounds like he will be a tough champion to balance..

He reminds me of Zed

Penguin Eclipse5/14/2015, 2:36:57 AM4 votes

On paper he is extremely broken. 3 slows, a stun, a shield, a heal, 2 mobility spells, reasonable mana costs, and an abundance of damage.

Time will tell he how actually performs.

I just got out of a PBE match where I was nearly killing an ADC in one hit. His passive with Nashors dealt nearly 1,000 bonus damage. Plus his E's bonus damage, they got deleted.

Riot u done fucked up that champ is soo dumb he has cc tons of dmg a shield a heal and escape

Lugg5/29/2015, 5:52:27 AM3 votes

I have to be completely honest here. Ekko is so incredibly broken that Riot needs to remove him from the game and literally start from scratch. The counterplay against this guy is probably the lowest in the history of league. He has been released ONE DAY and bronze 5 guys are stomping people like they are Faker.

Thank You all who read this.

He's something new. And I like it. He's not some washed up thing. He has a unique niche role, or, at least, I FEEL, he'll have niche role.

Orangutanguin5/14/2015, 4:06:42 AM2 votes

Looks like faceless void I.M.O.

I'm betting he'll be played the same, too.

Razgriz9905/14/2015, 2:50:27 AM1 votes

I actually have some questions.... Like how does flash interact with his ult? Does he get a reverse flash for sure? What about thresh's lantern? With the right team comp he can be seriously annoying. Thresh lantern to a heal, then ult back to kill whoever was chasing. Ermergerd the plays!!

albertdurer6/13/2015, 9:05:39 AM1 votes

Can you please reduce the time of ekko's parallel convergence as it takes too long a time to use and the enemy champs spot it and run away quickly.

Senpho6/2/2015, 2:16:26 AM1 votes

I think everyone is wrong ... Ekko doesnt need a Buff or a nerf... He need balancing to his spell. By balancing i dont mean nerfing because its too high our buffing because it's to low. I mean his ult does too much damage BUT it's too hard to land so i would work on this, but it would be hard to make the ult more easy to land so in this case we just let this like that and let's go to the w. The W as a big big shield you can use pretty badly (1 sec ?) and it's very hard to use the w slow or stun properly BUT the stun is too big. So i would reduce the cast time to 1.5 or 2 and reduce a bit the shied i would up the shield time to 2 sec and reduce the stun to 2 or 1.75. Now the q, it is a very good spell to help you prox your passive BUT the damage is 35%/65% wich is not that good becauyse the 1st is easy to land but the second is very very hard so u need to be very good. So just put it 50/50 would be better and make the q come back a bit faster. Ekko also need a bit more of attack speed for his passive late game but he need less movement because with is core item he get 436 + alacrity 450 + 3rd Drag 460 it's too much. i think it would help. But even if i did play him so many games even if im being nrutral to this champ even if im trying to help everyone would say he needs nerf because he is new and they dont know how to play against him ... just play annie or leblanc and GG ... ekko is a risky poc -- some champ cant do shit vs him but some will destroy him even if he is better than the other (silver/platinum) .... please take in consideratuon my post --

MrBuffington5/14/2015, 2:28:16 AM1 votes

He definitely has a high skill cap with some of the ways you can combo his abilities, and just generally the dynamics of his positioning with all of his skills, though I kind of think his skill floor is low enough for him to be accessible enough to average players; he's kind of only really got 1 skillshot (his W is a pretty large area and E is part targeted), and his R can function as a get-out-of-jail-free card. I like how his Q works, especially that he has strong mobility; it feels like how they were hoping Ahri's Q would work when they gave her the MS boost, the way they can make plays by positioning themselves well before the spell rebounds, but Ahri doesn't have as much time (heh) to reposition herself.

Ekko seems to be a step in the right direction for champion design, but unbalances the game in a negative way. Its not just his numbers that are out of wack its his over all fit in the game. From a theme perspective he looks great and fits the art style league has been reworking into the game recently. Mechanicly he is to advanced for the earlier simpler champs to contend with. Newer champs that have been released prove to have the capacity in some ways to deal with this new style of carry but the older one? they are left in the dust. even if the champ is strong and popular in the meta right now. ( like Tallon/ Urgot) they just don't have the tools necessary to deal with every thing Ekko brings to the lain. Overall i love the champ design and his kit. The old champs are just going to have to catch up some how be it kit or numbers. Like Ashe did.

I feel like all the people complaining are the people who aren't good at league and just blame riot for making champs too op.

Untapped Power6/6/2015, 1:09:45 AM1 votes

I'm not saying I'm faker or anything but I honestly have only seen 1 or 2 fed Ekkos and they are only op when they are fed, which goes for any champion. His stun is the easiest thing to dodge. It takes 3 seconds to do anything. His Q is pretty slow and easy to dodge. His blink/dash is the only thing that i think needs damage reduction. Lastly, his ultimate is practically useless in lane, the damage is too hard to hit and is really only good for a heal.

DeynaTaggerung6/6/2015, 2:59:25 AM1 votes

I feel that his kit is pretty cool but there are two areas that seem overpowered.

--First is his ult's damage, I think they should drop the damage down and buff the heal a bit to highlight it as a way to confuse/bait your enemies and not a face-smashing technique.

-Secondly his W doesn't need that passive, the percent health damage to low health targets is unnecessary and has nothing to do with that ability anyways.

Sw Kiwi Kun6/7/2015, 6:01:34 AM1 votes

gap close + instant aoe cc + invulnerability + self-healing + high burst + high basic stats = ekko vegiar before remake = broken ekko = fair champ the logic makes me laugh please rito

SlampieceHawke6/8/2015, 5:25:47 AM1 votes

he's like a 2nd Zed. A very comprehensive champ that requires comprehensive monitoring. And let me say that facing up against both of them is a nightmare. I know firsthand. :( ....Well honestly, Zed isn't as bad.

NERF HIM! im tired of getting into a game and almost killing him then his health bar is 3/4 of the way full thats ridiculous he gains way too much health back. he is seriously the most OP champ i have ever faced and it just makes every match against him sooooo irritating and boring

Raxistaicho5/14/2015, 5:24:59 AM1 votes

His ult looks overtuned.
