Everything i hate about Ekko
-
I hate his "title" of "boy who shattered time". Most horrible name you could ever think of, in all honesty i think riot was completely lazy on that one.
-
I hate his stupid overloaded kit, and how riot didn't give two shits about the actual balance of their game. Hes essentially the "lee sin" of midlane now. His stupidly overloaded kit is supplemented by the fact that AP itemization is 2-3x order of magnitude better than AD itemization. This means that although an AD assassin may have a predictable, optimal build path, EKKo doesn't necessarily have one which makes him far more versatile.
-
His Lore doesn't make sense, especially when combined with his name. So, he can rewind time or something. But the ingame use of his ability doesn't make sense. In game, it seems like Ekko is a transdimensional being that can alter and warp the space around him to do damage, produce copies or clones of himself, and to reverse damage done to himself by switching with his clone (or something like that). In his lore video, Ekko is made out to be a person that can reverse time and replay events until he gets a favorable outcome.
-
From this aspect imo, a transdimensional being is far cooler than someone who can just simply reverse time.
im really dissapointed with this champ. He feels completely half-assed. Although the concept is good, and it seems like it had alot of thought put in, and the actual in-game effects are fantastic, the actual product as a whole seems like it is lacking unity. There seems to have been a HUGE disconnect between the lore team (if riot even still has one) and the gameplay/visuals team (or whatever it was called).
