Should I learn GP or Ekko

DragonManSquid··1 votes·987 views

Which one of these champions is most rewarding to master? Is one more fun than the other at a high skill cap? Is Ekko's skill cap high enough to warrant "mastering"? Lemme know what you guys think in the poll.Ekko Gangplank FIGHT!

P.S. I mostly play top lane

Ekko top is generally better than gp top even though they both function best mid.

It depends what build you go on ekko for toplane, gp's build is pretty... static and very bland once you get to that point with him, ekko you have a ton more options as he's not Pidgeon holed into one set buildpath.

Meh, you can build a bunch of things on GP item 3078 is the item you'll always rush. After that you can build a bunch of stuff like item 3142 or item 3031 second item 3086 or item 3814 Third. You can even get aitem 3053 second to deal with burst, or a situational item 3036 or item 3812 if we're going into the really cheesy builds.

Wut. Gangplank is a way better top laner than mid laner and can have pretty diverse builds.

I'd honestly say GP he is always a powerhouse and always relevant when played well, with a global ultimate to help your team or cut a tank path off, he's scary to face if you have good mechanics with him.

Ekko goes in and out, es generally good since his inclusion but does fall off where GP just gets increasingly suppressive, you land a barrel or two late game, half HP obliterated, string them in baron pit? GG your baron.

I'd say GP probably has the higher skill ceiling, but he's a really bad champion to blindpick and is not easy to be consistant with. He also doesn't really have a proper way to respond to getting camped, you'll have multiple games where you just got tower dove over and over.

If you're planning to onetrick a champion and just pick it every game, I'd say learn Ekko. If you have a back up pick incase you're first pick/ playing it into a bad matchup, GP is a ton of fun and carries hard if he gets to scale.

GP is early farm and late game damage - boring as fck Play ekko he remains relevant throughout the game and has more outplay potential due to his kit

If you get good with gangplank you can hard carry games. Even if you struggle early game you scale like a god. He is alot of fun aswell
