Everyone was so distracted by tank Ekko

...that everyone forgot how broken and overloaded AP Ekko is, too.

He's frustrating to play against, forces you to burn all your important cooldowns and presses R, so he negates all your damage and can go in again before you can fight back, or you save them and try to kite (LOL) and get AAed to death by his passive and insane stickiness.

He is easily able to farm the whole wave with Qs withou running out of mana (people are going to try to convince you otherwise) and if anything goes bad, BOOM, R safe button. Impossible to punish.

Is that enough? No, because his E just needs to proc on hit on top of it being a low CD dash + blink, the way he doesn't loose a pushing power.

I say, give his ult at least a half second cast time before the invulnerability triggers so we can interrupt it with CC or just remove the on-hit part of his E, it's so damn frustrating to be oneshot by a targeted double-mobility spell.

Yeah, but, Tank ekko was pretty ridiculous.

Agreed. id rather be able to burst ekko by stunning him before he ults and killing him than hitting tank ekko for years and dying to ridiculous base damages

If one thing is broken more than the other, it doesn't mean the other is not broken, too.

But there is clear counterplay to ap ekko the fact that he trades damage for being able to live much longer is balanced imo

You mean he needs his ult damage to oneshot someone? Lol...

yes and maybe if you didnt stand on his "ghost" that CLEARLY shows where he will ult then you wont get oneshot. Im an adc main and i hate assassins because they oneshot me but i very rarely get one shot by ekko unless i stand in his ult. Does his passive make him stick on to you? yes but at least it only can proc on you once and its not like ekko wants to stick on you because if he doesnt one hit you hes as good as dead because he will just die instantly because he is super squishy

Ekko is clearly easily counterable
