Why I'm never playing Ekko again

I used to main Ekko back before tank ekko was really a thing and he got super op. I started playing him more recently now that he's not permabanned anymore. The reason I'm never touching him again is that his Q hitbox is reaaaally frustrating. When it's far away from you it looks like the animation, no problems there. But when it's close to you, the hitbox is SO small. Any AP Ekko player will know what I'm talking about, you E right on top of someone and Q with your mouse directly on top of them and somehow it misses by a centimeter. It's really not a problem for Tank Ekko players because they get multiple shots at it since they get to stay in the fight forever. However, for AP Ekko (especially late game) if you miss your point blank Q you're probably gonna die, but the hitbox is so friggen small it's really hard to hit when targets are close to you. I can pretty much hit 80% of my long range Qs when you think it would be harder but I probably only hit like 65-70% of the ones that are close to me when you'd think they would be easy to hit.

This probably won't get any upvotes and will probably in fact end negative, because most players that don't play the champ very often will just think I'm trash and the other half think Ekko is cancer and won't upvote anything giving him even the smallest of buff. So yeah. But there's my issue with Ekko, it's just become too frustrating to play anymore.

Legit the only thing i can tell you is "git gud". Learn how to hit a skillshot, it's not all that hard.

At maximum range or upon hitting an enemy champion, the device slows to a stop and expands the device slows to a stop and expands slows to a stop and expands expands

It's really not so bad, his Q legitimately has one of the fattest hitboxes in the game when it is expanded.

This is a stupid post. Actually get good.

You say that the hitbox is smaller the closer to you it is, but that would mean that you're consistently missing Ekko's primary ability, a champion you 'main', at near-point blank range.
