When they made Ekko? I truly don't believe we've ever had a champion come out that is -that- devastating no matter how underfed they are. It's just ridiculous. I mean if you think about it? He cannot be countered. Having more escape mechanisms than any champion with that much burst and utility is ridiculous.
They were thinking about
BEANS
BEANS THE MAGICAL FRUIT
Be glad that he wasn't designed by CertainlyT.
shudders at the thought of ekko being designed by him
Ekko IS easily countered. You have no idea how badly Leblanc and Fizz will shit on him. He did have some ridiculous stats when he first came out but there are very clear weaknesses. First, he's very mana hungry, throughout most of the game, especially now that his ult actually uses mana. His Q can be easily sidestepped and you can work around getting stunned by his W. Most people just need to use high mobility champs against him (or, as some like to call it, broken vs broken) and have a decent knowledge of his abilities. You can avoid receiving damage from his ult by knowing where his little ghost thing is (I don't remember what its called lol srry) and keeping distance from it. Also, he has fairly long cooldowns which can be easily abused and used against him in the laning phase, as well as the fact that he's melee so you can zone him away from your minions and if he uses his Q to farm, he will be oom very quickly.
All his skills are telegraphed, he needs to outplay you to deal any damage. He can't just walk in and kill you like say Talon. I have absolutely 0 issues against him as Viktor, just drop the gravity field on yourself when you see him dash, then Q him for the speed boost for an easy escape.
Really? Your really think ekko is the most broken champ on release xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD, thats some funny stuff man, leblanc on release had to be HOTFIXED because of how overpowered she was, and she wasn't even the worst.

What was riot thinking? Nerfing a champ to a 42% winrate so that your teammates will pick him!
