giving a mana cost to ekko's ult, really?

you know what, im fine with the fact that his ult will have a mana cost. what im NOT fine with is the REASON you are giving him a mana cost.

That said, from a design standpoint I do agree that there is something to the idea of "he's been spamming spells and is out of mana, now is my chance to strike." His ult not having a cost directly avoids the minor gameplay idea of "characters are weak when they're OOM."

this is bull shit because Leblanc also doesnt have a mana cost on her ult and she practically does the same thing WITH MORE BURST. the only difference is she doesnt get the heal that ekko gets. so why doesnt LB have a mana cost on her ult yet? what about all of the MANALESS champions you keep throwing at the game? and dont give me that crap about "manaless champions are weak" because Katarina Yasuo andGnar has something to say about that.

you guys can give in to the ekko QQ all you want when he is actually not that strong, i dont care really. but dont give bull shit excuses like this to people when you give into the "this assassin is too bursty and kills my 2k ADC with no resistences omgawdplsnerfQQ" complaints.

"characters are weak when OOM". what a ridiculous statement indeed. mean while Katarina RekSai Yasuo Vladimir Gnar Garen Shyvana is just laughing it up. whats funny is you are also increasing his mana cost on his other skills, so ekko will soon be in the same boat as any other mana mage/assassin that goes up againsn a MANALESS mage/assassin. his low mana cost was actually nice to combat these manaless champs, but not anymore. say good bye to that when ekko is forced to buy an athenes just to sustain mana in lane.

LB should have all her mana costs doubled, and 300 Mana cost added to her R.

Then she can be a tricky explosive bitch, but she only gets to try once unless she invests in mana for real.

My problem with Ekko is the speed buff on his passive and heal on his ult. In the video, every injury sustained was never healed; this made players think that when he does "re-wind" in the game its just to re-position or escape. His q is to help him farm and poke, his w is his means of locking down enemies and shouldn't provide him with a shield since he has a powerful stun tied to it. His e is a very useful dash he can use to avoid skillshots while he closes the distance at the same time. His ult shouldn't heal and the ap ratio needs to be decrease.
