XinZhao Jax Fiora JarvanIVVladimir Darius Galio Irelia Rumble Teemo . A few more counters are coming as I figure this out since he is still new. Reminds me of Kassadin in the sense that you need a bruiser AD mid to counter him (not adc type). Stop complaining about him already please. Just try to play him more top lane than mid lane to figure out his counters since he loses to alot of top laners. Just take the top laners to mid instead of having the traditional mid laners. As for his ult, IT'S SUPER UNRELIABLE because even a second might affect his position and he can either damage you with his ult or escape from you. He can't do both. As for most of his damage, Try to dodge as it's pretty easy. The standard combo is E+Q which is very easy to dodge. Try to learn him so you can understand his weaknesses rather than jumping on the "op" hype train.

Let me get this straight. The fact that he has counters invalidates the point that he is over-powered? Is that seriously what you're trying to say?

Looks like everyone should think that LeBlanc is weak right now because Galio completely shuts her down boys. You heard it here first.

His Q moves at the speed of a turtle, his W has a 3 second delay, and you know where hes going to ult no matter what because you can see it!

I think you are missing the point. Almost all those champions listed are top lane champions. Any champion designed to go mid but invalidates the majority of midlaners has a serious design problem. The majority of midlane champions perform poorly against Ekko.

Ive never lost to an ekko while playing Yasuo Also Zed does really well against him pre 6.

I dunno about counter, but I gave an Ekko a really hard time as Malzahar and won lane.

He's weak to poke... anyone who can outrange his poke should be in the clear.

I've beaten mid Ekko with Diana , Lux , and Ziggs .

Lissandra literally destroys him.

since he loses to alot of top laners

What assassin doesn't lose to bruisers that can tank their damage while dishing out equal damage early-mid game?

inb4 Zed because Zed's laning phase is great, even for a melee assassin

akali deals with Ekko quite well I've been told.

All you have to do is watch the ult and not pull a Prometheus when he uses his q and run in a line away from it.

Ahri beats Ekko mid rather easily. I've seen Viktor manhandle Ekko Diana Is similar in engage and naturally tankier then Ekko, and I'd argue does more damage. Xerath wins by virtue of poke, just dont get close to him like a tard, easy lane to control Lissandra Plays very strong against him

Counters are there. He is granted a strong champ, people are just idiots and ignore his counterplay/counter champs, and would rather he be gutted then learning to play against him.

He's an assassin with all the strengths and none of the weaknesses. Was very interesting hearing Faker break Ekko down in that youtube video Riot hyped yesterday. Still think he needs a little tuning to be in the right place balance-wise, counters or not.

Yah I don't understand the hate on his damage and ult, it's all skill shots Except for E. Even then, his E puts you in melee position in a team fight which anyone can CC you or Exhaust you. If someone CC's you, your ult shadow starts coming closer to you and if you ult in that instance, you can't really escape anymore. I also noticed how most of the complaints come from people that don't even play him. League of legends Boards isn't any different from GD to be honest.

I saw a nasus do really well against an ekko

here's the match if anyone cares http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1846126586/40196668?tab=overview

I've done well as Ahri. Pre 6 he dashes in just charm him, post 6 just dance around him taunting while he tries in vain to hit you.

I've seen some Chogath s really take it to an Ekko

I've shit faced Ekko with Morgana Annie Zyra mid lane lol

Azir Really good counter to Ekko as he can zone with soldiers and he can place his soldiers inside Ekko's W if Ekko gets too close.

Kayle and Varus I've seen both do well against Ekko.

StevieSenpai6/5/2015, 1:20:03 AM1 votes

This guy Yasuo counters this guy Ekko pretty darn well. I'd put Yasuo in the top 3 counters for Ekko.
