The reason EKKO is INSANELY OP is because BARD DIDN'T MAKE ENOUGH MONEY FOR RIOT.

See ole Bardcakes didn't get anyone a Ferrari or sweet house in Laguna beach. In fact almost everyone I know refunded him and anything that had to do with him.

INT. RIOT OFFICES SANTA MONICA

"This Bard thing really screwed us Riot Bros."

"So what will we do guyz!?"

"I KNOW! WE'LL DOUBLE DOWN ON THE OP CHEESE FEST NEXT CHAMP!"

"HURRHEUERHHRURUE! GOOD CALL BRUH! WE'LL PACK MORE CHEESE INTO HIM THAN AN EXTRA LARGE STUFF CRUST!"

Back slapping circle jerking fools dance around the meeting table, flipping over office chairs and laughing uproariously before congo lining out of the room.

2 PATCHES LATER

INT. RIOT OFFICES SANTA MONICA

"BROOOOO! WERE RENTING DISNEY LAND FOR CORPORATE NIGHT! I'm going to eat this bag of Moon Shrooms I had brought back from space with my EKKO money!"

"FUCK YEAH!!! I just bought facebook from zuckerberg with my EKKO money! Let's check in at Disney shrooming our balls off before drive home in our porches!"

"So it's time to pull the plug right?"

"Yep!"

They get on their space age communicator wrist watches they got with money from rubes who bought Ekko and his skin.

"Execute Ekko 66!"

New patch notes drop gutting echo into crap mode.

RINSE

REPEAT

It's an endless cycle.

It's so obvious it's dumb.

Ekko was being designed far before Bards release, they don't MAKE the new champion in between releases, they start long before.

feel like i should add to this but riot has stated several new champs are always being worked on the ones we see riot sees more potential and are finished but sometimes they tease or announce them when they think the buns its ready then abort because reasons azir was teased back in like 2012 or something and came out late 2014 and ao shin is still on hiatus point is ekko just got completed idea wise first then they worked on numbers and put him in and whoever comes after ekko is being worked on since before bard was announced at least maybe even longer who knows

I don't care about the context, I would apply for a job at Riot if this actually happened on a regular basis.

What the heck is a bard? Some sort of minstrel poet?

Well for your information the moment a champion comes out almost no one knows how to fight him/her. Right now if you play BARD and practice him he is extremely OP. A champion will be OP if you want/make it!
