You Won't Guess Which Tank Needs Nothing But Their Abilities To Kill You..

..it's Ekko!! Ekko !! Ekko !! Ekko !! ( sorry for the pun)

Okay, Devourer is shut down for maintenance. And I figured the Jungle would be more fun since instakills are less likely (though still possible). So in a Normals game, the enemy team has an Ekko jungle. This is his build by the end of the match.

item 3725 item 1319 item 3143 item 3083 item 1031 item 1029 item 3361

With around 130 AD and 3500 health, he successfully slaughtered opponents without any AP. None. Zero. Zilch. Somehow killing players with ease. I would imagine its his abilities as stand alone and how big his kit is (by far the biggest kit with versatility in the game) is what caused this to happen. That the abilities natural damage is killing players with high Armor and MR and plenty of health with even higher damage than him, is just ridiculous if true.

I know he was toned down a little bit (not much, but we have to live with it), yet it seems like he is way too strong offensively with no offensive items. Could someone try this type of build in a match and let me know if it was just a "once in a lifetime" game or if it is seriously as unbalanced as it seems? I would love to know if it is too unhealthy for the game or if being built to counter him doesn't really effect him.

I'd love to know if we can make the game more healthy or if there is someway to balance the items.

It's not really a one-time thing. I saw C9 someone(Meteos I think? was duoing with someone.) playing him jungle yesterday. He was like 6-0-4 or so by the time I stopped watching, and he was building full tank.

Dude, you're playing tank Vi. You are part of the problem. People who abuse champion for utility and building for max safety can't complain about anything.

What are you talking about? I built Fighter Vi. I scrapped my tank build in favor of a more aggressive build on her. If Junglers are part of the problem because they are tanky, then this game really needs to change it's name to League of Assassins. LoA!! YOLO!!

Problem is building tank because champion has lots of base damage and/or utility in his kit. If champion wasn't supposed to be tank, but you build him as one then you're a part of the problem, and why we can't have nice things.

actually doing this exposes op champions that have high base damage idk why assassins have high base damages and high scaleings yet

Not all of them have big base damages. But if all of them had weak base damages and very big scaling damage, then assassins would snowball to infinity with 1kill

But that is just it. Building tank isn't the problem. People whining about not being able to instakill everything are the problem.

Oooooor you could.

Actually I couldn't.. Considering I do not own Ekko, nor do I have any desire to own Ekko..

They already nerfed Ekko because the europeans were playing him full tank. AP is much more effective

Damn thought you were going to say Gnar.

I hate laning against that bastard, I have to constantly spend my mana all-inning him in mini form because if he is ever in lane with more than 20% HP then I can't farm.
