A shot at a healthy Bruiser Ekko
So since Ekko seems to be in a state where people REFUSE to play him as "intended", why not just balance him around his popular playstyle? Big changes would have to be made.
The two biggest changes I would roll out first are
- Stun on W is now a root. This would be a healthier take on the ability as it would allow you to react to Ekko even as he's beating your face in.
- Remove the missing health on hit, move it to passive, replacing the base damage of the passive with "On the third proc the enemy champion takes 10% of your bonus health as magic damage". To offset this becoming too powerful, you could limit the ability by making it so only Autos proc your passive now (which still allows your E to get off a proc), or you could give a global cooldown to the ability, making it so you can't use it more than once per cooldown
Thoughts? What would you change about Ekko to fit his bruiser style without breaking him?
Edit: Sorry if the second change isn't clear, I mean to say the on hit missing health damage is gone entirely from the kit
