How to keep AP Ekko alive while Weakening Tank Ekko

Igotlazy··2 votes·792 views

I think an interesting nerf could be to increase the on-target cooldown of his Passive from the current 3 seconds, to maybe 3.5 or even 4 seconds.

Why this will work: -Tank Ekko relies off of the stickiness provided by the Passive and Q (and Iceborn) to stay on Enemies. Over a long period of time (and multiple procs of the Passive), he eventually gets the kill. -AP Ekko relies off of that same stickiness but is able to potentially kill his target incredibly quickly, decreasing the need for further procs (since they're dead).

Result: Increasing the on-target cooldown will nerf Tank Ekko since he requires many Passive procs, but will keep AP Ekko relatively the same since he doesn't need more than one or two.

-From an Ekko main with ~200k Mastery Points on him.

I'm also an Ekko main (here comes the hate) and I think this would be a decent nerf.

Or maybe have the radius of his ult and/or w scale with ap, but have a really low base radius, if that makes sense.

Or

Make the MS scale with AP?

Gives 20% MS + 1% per 10 AP

High AP gives huge MS while low AP it will give minimal MS

At 500 AP it's a 70% MS bonus

The base value is adjustable

The only issue I have with AP scaling utility is that it directs the kit to be more "feast or famine".

How about we not nerf Ekko?

they could do it in a jiffy if they wanted to. all you do is give ekko the kayle treatment job done. she has meh base stats and scales significantly with items.
