Why should Ekko EVEN get a shield in his stun?

Bellows·May 18, 2016·10 votes·1,555 views

Its the same issue with Yasuo's old kit...

Completely overloaded and broken. They took his shield off when ulting cause you dont need it if they cant fight back. Did wonders.

Ekko needs to have his shield removed. BTW, EKKO SHOULDNT NEED IT TO DIVE INTO THE TEAM SAFELY. Hes an assassin, not a mage. Hes not supposed to dive first. He needs to paly like an assassin. I mean after he goes in, he does so much damage to a target, THEN his passive gives him a huge speed boost to gtfo. Overloaded kit, not satisfied with these nerfs. Remove shield. nerf base damages, dont give him compensation ANYTHING.

Thank you. (He was SUPPOSED to be a difficult champion to learn and use when he came out, NOPE lol.)

So that even when you fck up your stun and misplay hard you don't get punished too hard.

And when you are actually able to fck up that too, np, you still have your ult.

I honestly don't know if riots balance team are even playing their own game.

IKR, he needs skill to play, you miss your stun? Sucks for you, better afk.

Fine, but then they should remove the enemy's ability to track his ult and w. He is the most telegraphed champion in the game, if you get hit by his abilities, you deserve the punishment that follows.

Actually, in the current role of Ekko I'm inclined to agree with OP. When he came out it was expected he would be AP and pretty squish so it made sense.

Riot should probably mini rework this champ. Sadly too, because he is super fun as AP and super good as tank, but pretty overloaded as tank and there isn't really a fine balance.

Make his shield scale with AP problem solved.

It already does

It has 150% AP scaling already.

Then that's fair. If he builds tank his shield isn't as strong.

Yes dumbass, his kit has had a few changes after release. You cant call his kit on release and his curret kit the same at all. Ekko needs this treatment.

released yasuo and current yasuo isnt old xD

Because Ekko does pay quite a hefty price to get the shield/stun. Theres a massive wind up animation before it lands, and he also needs to be in the area at the same time.

I agree its overloaded, but he does pay for it in some way. Removing the shield would mean he would also get it buffed in another way.

It lasts as long as the Stun does. I don't disagree with you, but it doesn't last very long. Problem is, if they get rid of the shield we definitely won't see tank Ekko go away any time soon.

I think his stun should not be 2.5 seconds, and I think it would be okay if they made his shield much weaker than it is, but maybe scale up with how many people you stun. Make it 4 people stunned the shield is as strong as current shield. I'd be okay if they made it last longer than it does if they made it weaker too, but having a huge shield and a huge stun all in one ability is lame. I don't think removing it would fix the current problems with Ekko however.
