Why does Ekko have that stun?

I don't care about him having that burst ON TOP of his mobility/get out of fail free ult/free MS/free shield/Slow with a clear/whatever else

Why in gods name does Ekko have an ult level kind of stun not on an ult? Its fucking better than Amumu's ult, Galio's ult, anyone else s on a ridiculously low CD.

Those are all instant CC, this is a situational one with a 3 second cast time

Because it is incredibly obviously where he is going to shoot it?

People keep saying that it has a 3 second cast time. But the enemy does not get 3 seconds to see. The ghost can be cast in brush so then all you see is the circle for .5 sec. It's FAR stronger than Veigar's.

I also don't understand why his huge AoE Stun gives him a shield with a good AP Ratio for an assassin.

I completely agree with OP. The damage, mobility, survivability I can deal with. But his stun is better than all of these AoE game changes:

Amumu Chogath Galio Swain Veigar

Partly because he wasn't supposed to have the amount of burst he has. Riot done goofed, he was supposed to be centered around utility (like slows and his stun, as well as mobility and safety) but they ended up way overturning his numbers so that he has crazy burst on top of the utility.

Because he deserves to have it, stop crying and l2p man, Ekko is balanced.

Veigar, Viktor, Jax, Gnar, Anivia, Swain, Zac, Alistar, Zyra, Yasuo, Vel'Koz, Rek'Sai, Nami, Kennen, Annie, Karthus, Heimerdinger, Janna, Jarvan IV, Diana, Cho'Gath, Aatrox, and Ekko

So 20% of the champions in the game are the most overpowered champions according to your post, which ironically most of these champions are low played champions.

imo riot should make his stun scale with ap. only start with 1second. and scale 1sec more, every 200ap.

These qq threads are getting as old as Zed whining threads.

It's okay. Just combine Ekko's stun with the wombo combo above so the enemy team is crowd controlled for the entire duration of the fight.

They even released Bard so you can do this shit better!

50.57% win rate overall and 49.22% win rate in ranked matches. Sounds fine to me.
