i've been thinking, riot should make ekko's shadow (the one from his r) always visible instead of only being visible when he has it. i mean when your r is on cd, it's literally screaming to the enemy team that you don't have it and you can be dove easily. players should count the enemy's abilities cd themselves, not be told to them.
Deνiruchi7 votesConsidering you basically have to kill him twice, it's fair enemies can see it when it's up. Also considering going back does dmg on that area, it would not have counterplay if your eyes are not on him 24/7, having to count every path he takes and the seconds he rewinds to.
Ratatouka3 votesi think you did not understand my post, i did not say make it invisible, i said make it always visible even when his r is not up. edit: can those people upvoting this comment and downvoting my post also read my post carefully?
JuiceBoxP2 votesBottom line it's fair that you can see he doesn't have it because his ult pretty much makes or breaks him. it is a game changing ability and it would be too difficult to fight him if you wouldn't know if he got it or not.
You would not go in on him knowing he has ult, but you otherwise will if you know for sure he doesn't.
Ratatouka2 votesyou also don't know if zilean r is up, so when he uses it this fight, you count its cd. i mean zil's r is basically a ga but you don't get a visual indicator screaming 'MY R IS NOT UP, PLEASE FUCK ME'
JuiceBoxP1 votesBut you can see when zilean's ult is used and the teammate gets a revive. In ekko's case, you just die and he heals back to full
LordGeovanni1 votesid you playing a squishy and hes playing an assassin thats gameplay. the same way mages want to burst 80% of a tanks hp or adcs want to kill them in 2.5 seconds
Ekko isnt full killing anyone unless he lands 2 q's which you can dodge and an E Super late game and that person is Squishy like an adc mage or fighter or one E and an ult.
Ekko's Ult has been hard nerfed years ago. its not healing him to full anymore and even still it only significantly heals him from burst damage if you dps he doesnt heal much at all. His ult heal when he has 20% is pretty much equal to Sylas' W if sylas has 40% hp if sylas is lower he has a better heal. on a basic ability.
Deνiruchi1 votesZilean's ult doesn't move you back, you stand still and get camped and most likely killed after. Zilean's ult can be casted on allies so it would be confusing if Zilean had R up but you don't know on what champion he's gonna use it on. I'm all for giving Zilean an R indicator other than when it's casted, but that still doesn't compare it to Ekko's ult, which not only heals him back and makes you have kill him twice (if you catch him), he can use it to dive escape and dodge abilities as he gets untargeteable during the cast to safety.
LordGeovanni1 votesLike its too difficult to fight any adc or mage when their ult is up but you cant see if its up or not. I can totally burst this adc before they kill me Auto auto R you dead 'wait didnt he just use that' . I can totally kill lux before she kills me Q R auto you dead E 3 people dead. good thing such a powerful kit and ultimate ability is on a long cooldown so she cant continiously do it over and over. Nope.
JuiceBoxP2 votesIt's pointless trying to explain to you this, because i guess you really don't understand how powerful his ult is.
Go on and downvote all my comments. Does it make you right? no. it doesn't.
LordGeovanni1 votesNo whats pointless is being vauge and not putting anything that means any thing down. talking about how you get instagibbed by the ult while he heals when you have to run your character into his ult for that to happen or you have to stand there long after his stun wore off for it to even hit you. ekkos ult is much less powerful than suer long ranged damage ults you only have to put your mouse over the enemy to hit because the do a ton of damage have much less cooldown and can be used more often and have much much less of a delay. to activate. If and ranged champion had to aim a spell 4 seconds ahead of when they want it to hit no matter the range they would cry and call the spell unuseable. No ekko player wants to only use their Ult to heal but thats how he has to use it because damage being so high he is almost dead by time he reaches his target. Id chose Extra 300 range over ekkos entire ult on any character any day because thats much stronger than his ult. By that logic your Comments arent right either whether they get downvoted upvoted or stay the same. which makes it null for you to point it out or insecure for you to point it out take your pick
Deνiruchi1 votesYou want enemies to not be able to tell when his R is up or not by always being visible, and I said it's only fair that enemies know when his R is up or not, because you have to basically kill him twice.
Zlera2 votesHow about instead he just has his ult always up? How about instead he has four Ults?
xDogMeatx1 votesif thats true if riot did that either permaban him or forget he exists in teamfights if hes effectively immortal maybe thanos will make him dissappear i you believe hard enough.
LordGeovanni1 votesDo you guys read?
xDogMeatx1 votesactually i did im just replying to someone elses post but for the OP (original poster), i believe its a bug his ult clone shouldnt be functional/visible during CD.
edit: wait why i read the title again the OP wants to buff ekko to decieve the enemy even though its on cd thats pretty OP in itself the clone offers counterplay but if its on cd its not disabled thats pretty cheating deception. why the hell would he want a ekko buff???
LordGeovanni1 votesThe clone offers counter play by telling you not to stand there (even though you can obviously see where ekko has been in the past 4 seconds) The buff pretty much places him in the same place as every other champion in the game where you dont know if the ult is on cooldown on not.

Please people tell me Ekko's ult is more powerful than Nasus ult. People only feel bad because it heal him but never give a thought that it also feels bad to be instagibbed by over 300 range when you never even had a chance to touch them.
xDogMeatx1 votesekkos ult is situational vs nasus but nasus ends up winning usually if he builds tenacity/spirit visage. different ults have different purposes. nasus (example) is made for straight up dueling or objective breaking or stacking quicker, while ekkos ult is MANY things at once and even be used to proc (zhonyas procs it too) his W.
LordGeovanni1 votesNot versus Nasus, In general. Its a bad habit (that the boards community has) to put champion A versus champion B and say look champion B's ult is obviously more useful versus champion A if champion A plays directly into it, thus applicable in all situations. Dueling or in a team fight no one is gonna walk into ekko's ult
