So why is Ekko still in his current state?

TheDarkinLegend··1 votes·597 views

His kit is BS overloaded--it does too much too well...

Who's fragile little ego at Riot is stopping them from fixing an utterly retarded champion design that makes the game UN-fun to play?

This amateurs have such a hard time admitting to mistakes.

Riot, what's it like to have so many of your customers hate you so much?

Level 24 complaining about balance.

Now you try to say that you're smurfing, and that you're really a masters player, lel.

Its a new account, just leveling it up. I hated him in my other account in ranked just a much. But thank you for dismissing the post and concentrating on trying to discredit the author of the post. You are a prince among men.

lol trust me... the only reason people say champs need nerfs are bcuz they faced a super fed one and didnt like it so the only solution is to make it weak af

i play agaainst ekko alot and i can still do fine becuase i dont feed it so many kills

ekko is an assassin/mage so duh hes gonna snowball. items make him op and his base damage on his ulti (i think)

Dude, look at his kit. He has 2 slows, huge AP scaling, tons of mobility, a self heal with his ult....he has too many escapes....OH and he does bonus magic damage with basic attacks and %of missing health AND a shield that enjoys scaling with 150% AP.

He is a total bullshit champion. He makes fizz and LB seem easy and tame.

Agreed he is a bs champ, He needs nerfed. My first time i played him i got fed and did well,It was a ranked match so i know i got countered...He needs nerfed, stop saying he doesn't yolo.... He does.He has a pretty high ban rate, Why? Because he's op....

TheDarkinLegend1 votes

Exactly, but Riot can't ever admit to mistakes with pet favorite champions.

maxaroni1181 votes

omg two slows SOOOO op srsly

the two slows are simple enough to dodge... and also u just need to deny him kills. play malz or veigar!

whats he gonna do? if he even tries to jump you, just one shot him or full combo him

Shut your filthy mouth. That logic is basally the same thing as saying "play better".

Go back to putting your head in a hole and ignoring reality. Don't even comment on my posts.

maxaroni1181 votes

wow i didnt know toxic levels go that high...

ekko is not broken... trust me i have played many games against him and he is not broken

i played against a normal assassin ekko, and tank ekko and none of them were allowed to snowball so they did nothing

all u need to do is make sure the ekko isnt legendary or godlike. Ekko cant do much if he dont have the items

also MR!!! build that shit. my logic is basically "get better" cuz ekko is not broken.

Yeah, no one agrees with you. Enjoy going through life completely delusional.

That is wrong as hell. If a champion is broken, they will get fed in a large variety of games, not just one game. This leads to a high winrate, which riot will see to nerf. You can keep telling yourself that a champion that is broken is not, but eventually you'll realize thats not the case and the champion is busted. We've all been there.

i play agaainst ekko alot and i can still do fine becuase i dont feed it so many kills

You didnt give any insight to how you dont feed it so many kills. Thats like telling your 0/3 support to stop dying or your top lane to stop getting ganked

ekko is an assassin/mage so duh hes gonna snowball. items make him op and his base damage on his ulti (i think)

Thats not even the entire problem. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/AKriA6N2-i-will-just-say-it-ekko-is-borderline-broken-his-kit-is-completely-overloaded

While ekko might be a problematic champ you have no rights to call riot "amateurs". We all reach that point where we scream that rioters are just idiotic monkeys (or something like that) who don't know anything about the game, but in the end they made the game you are playing and the game is going on since 2009 so it's 7 years old and it's getting always bigger, so they sure as hell aren't amateurs and take theyr job seriously, they do make mistakes and have a long history of not acknowledging them only to make things worse but that doesn't make them amateurs. That said: Ekko is problematic since he's an assassins with the tools of a tank so while his design is not flawed per se, he is incredibly hard to balance: give him too high bases and he can just play tanky, give him too high scaling and he can just melt people with nothing they can do about it, but if you give him both extremely high scaling but too low bases then he becomes too weak. Also they are working on changes that would force ekko into the assassin position withouth making him too strong so it's not like they're just leaving him like he is or even buffing him, they are trying to do something about him, and they really don't deserve to be treated in such a rude way.

I honestly do believe they deserved to be treated this way. I always assume the best in people and in companies--I never assume someone is up to no good or a company is run shittily.....it takes a lot for me to view Riot in such a negative way.

Do you realize how many changes are done every patch? Its like...the game is so far out of balance that crap loads much change every patch. Dragon MUST be changed 5 times a year apparently too.

I think their company has bad leadership. I think that each Riot employee is probably very good at what they do but their opinions, analysis and ideas are often stifled due to higher ups pushing an agenda or change that they want to see happen, despite the problems with it. Ive seen this happen internally in many companies, and all the patterns are there to make me pretty sure that's what it is---bad, probably egotistical, leadership.

Valexfor1 votes

Yeah, the last 2-3 seasons have been one bad call after the other, you are right, I completely agree with you on that but it's still no reason to be so rude towards them. Even if it's like you said and riot's employees are just subjected to bad leadership and are forced to push these bad changes on the game, you are moslty bashing at those people who have theyr hands tied behind theyr backs, which isn't right. That said: riot is working on changes to ekko to make his assassin build more appealing than his tank build so lets just bear with the abomination that is tank ekko for a little while longer.

Kinda like Riven except Ekko is limited by mana.

TheDarkinLegend1 votes

Riven can certainly be annoying, but I have no problem beating her enough. Ekko is nearly always cancer in the game.

Id rather face a team of 5 Ekkos than a Riven, at least Ekko's skillshots are easy to dodge and he is limited by mana.

Only thing that needs to be changed about ekko:

Either 2 of his slows need removing Or completely reworking his w

An assassin shouldn't have multiple or reliable CC and 2+ low cd/reliable slows is near perma-slow which I count as a hard CC, combine that with the stun of his W and that's way too much CC on an assassin.

I have no ideas if they were to rework W but I feel that would be the better choice in the matter.
