Ekko Ekko Ekko Ekko Ekko Ekko Ekko Ekko Ekko Ekko Ekko Ekko Ekko Ekko Ekko OK so for anyone who doesn't know ekko's q is when he throws out a skill shot which deals damage on the way out, slows down at max range or upon hitting a champion slowing all enemies its touching, and then it returns to ekko dealing the same base damage but 6 times the AP scaling.

So you would think that if you hit an enemy champion face first with this ability and they ran with it during the slow portion before it zips back to you that you are guaranteed the second portion of the damage on them.

YOU WOULD BE WRONG BECAUSE IT GOES SOOOO SLOWLY THAT A CHAMPION AFFECTED BY ITS SLOW CAN STILL OUTRUN IT

riot games please address this issue

It deals increased base and scaling damage at all ranks except rank 1.

It's also fine as is. You're supposed to be setting up the return by re-positioning with the movement speed from your passive, or your e. It'd be broken as a guaranteed hit.

You can almost guarantee the return hit by animation-cancelling the auto-attack portion of e with your q, letting your get two stacks almost instantly and then auto'ing for the third. The slow on your passive alone is enough to ascertain the 3rd proc unless they dash, and you can use the movespeed equivalent of your passive to follow them.

Sincerely, an Ekko main.
