To many ekkos

Seeing to many ekkos today and reminded me why this champion even exists. Hes terrible in lane and you can obliterate him with ease mid game rolls around and he just mashes r to save his life ever 2 milliseconds. Can we have a change to his r to make it as long as shens? Saves should be a sparing ultimate not something you just mash every teamfight with basically 0 cd.

Get good scrub.

His kit can be pretty hard to deal with if you haven't memorized it. He does have many windows of opportunity for you to destroy him. Good luck on the rift friend!

Again the issue is I completely obliterate him. He stands 0 chance in lane agaisnt me but the issue comes from teamplay when he deals so much damage with his mobility then when he gets in danger unless you hard cc lock him for 5 seconds he can just press r and be completely safe and his team generally wins the fight. They need to take away his ult and give him something else that isn't a fee pass on any death he would get.

Sounds like you're wasting your cc (should be saved for when he is at half health or below so he cannot ult), using your cc far too early, have no grievous wounds (noticeably hurts his healing), or are not paying attention to where his ult is. If you're beating him in late there is absolutely no reason you shouldn't be able to kill him in teamfights. He needs items just like any other champ to do damage, and if he gets his items he WILL do damage regardless of how well you did in lane. Of course that's applicable to any champion in the game, more so for champs who scale decently. Also Ekko is not the only assassin/mage with an invulnerability frame ultimate that can save him as well as mobility Lissandra Zed KaynFizz (his being on his E which is spammable). There is a hefty list of champions that are more problematic to deal with before Ekko is worth a thread. Sorry.

Ya but heres the big difference with most of those characters. Their save doesn't also heal them and have as much versatility. Fizz generaly only e to get away. Kayn's ult is honestly terrible and everyone knows it. Zed is bs and liss is just bad. Ekkos can be used as an escape and a heal then can also be used as an engage. Even then the heal lets him rengage. Also I can't really waiste cc as an ahri main. I eitehr catch him out to start when he tries to kill the adc or he kills the adc ults back and they win for free. Remove his ult or remove the 3 hit passive. Together they are just to busted.

Ah that makes sense then, Ekko is one of the few champs who can stick to Ahri with her 3 dash ult. Good Luck on the rift.

I don't think you listen. I've had no issues with him personally. Its the issue that he kills my team and his hp is so high as well as his sustain by just mashing R I can' burst him out before he kills the adc or escapes. And I can't just dash in kill their adc and get out with a free heal.
