Can we talk about Ekko for a second.

I don't know if this is a bug or its intended (because my teammates said it was added in the new patch, but I don't see anything related to Ekko in the patch notes).

So Ekko's W, that stupid slow and shield thing. Yeah, that.

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE RANGE OF IT WHEN HE CASTS IT, RIGHT? LIKE, SO YOU CAN SEE WHERE IT'S GOING TO BE SO YOU CAN DODGE IT, RIGHT? LIKE THE GREEN RINGS THAT TELL YOU WHERE IT'S GOING TO BE--THAT'S A THING STILL, RIGHT?????

Because I just played a game against Ekko, and the single most frustrating thing was that he kept throwing out his W, and I could hear it, but I could not see it ANYWHERE until it was about to go off--giving me roughly 0.5 seconds to get the hell out of the thing because it literally just APPEARED out of NO WHERE on my face.

I kept telling my teammates I couldn't see it, and they just said that that was a new thing added in the patch notes. I thought I was crazy, but there's nothing in the patch notes and the video of Ekko's abilities still has the indicator of where the ability is going to land.

WHAT IS THIS. I LOST A GAME BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE WHERE THIS SHIT WAS GOING AND GOT CAUGHT IN IT EVERY TIME.

(I'm so mad, can't you tell?)

Riot, please.

His W isn't seeable until .5 seconds when the sphere appears. Play in the Ekkos shoes for a moment. Think about how horrible his W would be if you could see it the entire time. How would you ever hit a 2 second delay shot like that? .5 seconds is enough time to react, and also if you hear the audio que how about you just back off for a moment until you can see it?

I was backing off when I heard it, but I was still caught in it because he put it right on top of me. Like, I could not see it at all until it went off, and I'm pretty sure there's a longer animation to it because you're supposed to see the 3 second charge up of where it's going to go....righhhht? And then it goes off in like another second or so.

No, my point is you are not supposed to see it. You see it .5 seconds before it lands, not 3 seconds before.
