When the assassin goes tank and wins. #1 assassin in game

Why is an assassin withen the top 5 best tanks on the game. Possibly the very best tank? Because he does mega damage without items that cause damage. He has to much health so tanking up is extremely easy. I am not sure if any champions can really solo Ekko right now exepct things like Veigar so you can just 1 hit him and be done with it.

Ekko has become ridiculously broken. Its a combination of everything I guess. His range OP for the tanking he does. Ekko is like a armor artillery that can go for cqc and still win.

Ekko is an assassin right?? Well please explain why he are going full tank and carrying the game.

Best mobility in the game. Possibly the very best tank in the game since he heals more than even TahmKench can heal or Aatrox . Auto attacks without 1 single item that does base damage (full tank) deal more damage than Volibear Ultimate.

Excuse me why is an assassin a better tank than Volibear ????? Excuse me why does Ekko do more damage than Evelynn when he builds full tank?????? I saw you guys at riot where talking about people losing their trust in you. Well things like this is why. You don't know how to balance a game that has been out for like 10 years.

There is no more thought process needed to play this champion. You can troll way to easy. Yes and Assassin going full tank is troll. But then it carries the game anyways. This has been going on for months and I figured you guys would do something about it. Please fix this Broken assassin that is withen the top 5 of the games very best tanks. Very possibly the #1 tank in the game.

Give me his build. I will tell you if it's full tank or if it's just AP bruiser.

First off, don't even mention that "The game has been out for 10 years, it should be balanced by now!" No. The game has been out 10 years, but Ekko has only been out a little over 1 year, and the first tank build for him was only out for about a month before it got gutted. And then they came up with a new tank Ekko build that hasn't been gutted. Game balance is something that's constantly changing, and with the addition of every new champion, every new item, every change, every rework, the entire game's balance potentially shifts. Ekko will likely be getting some decently-sized changes in the assassin update to make sure that Ekko stays an assassin. This will probably include an increase in his AP ratios and the removal of his W passive, which makes him deal bonus damage to enemies below 30% of their max health. It will also probably see a decrease in his base AD, since Trinity Force is what he's relying on for a lot of his damage now.

Ekko would be a better tank than Volibear before:

  1. Ekko has multiple forms of CC to inhibit the enemy team
  2. Volibear isn't a tank; he is a fighter

Besides, I'm sure the 23/8/7 Leblanc had no influence on your loss whatsoever, no sir.

Nor the fact that the enemy team had three very durable champions (Ekko, Udyr, Bard) and your Jinx didn't itemize armor penetration.

Nor the fact that you seem to have picked Nunu support and didn't build a gold generation item or Sightstone.

Because he's not an assassin,he's a utility fighter
