How exactly is Ekko going to work?

I'm sure we're all well-aware that Riot is releasing a new champion (from the video Seconds that Riot released the other day) that can control time.

However, it's going to be confusing to try to even imagine what this champion can do before they officially announce him. It's also rumored that the champion is going to be named Ekko (also stated in the title of the video found on Youtube) which is most likely derived from the post made by Damaein.

I have some questions about this champion, however. First off, how is Ekko going to change time? Will he work like LeBlanc, where he can set a point in time on the map where it saves all of his stats, buffs (maybe because that would be OP if he could nearly infinitely have Baron buff), health, and all, and then be able to re-cast the ability to "go back in that point of time", (Of course, this isn't exactly like LeBlanc but Ekko would have a marker he can essentially teleport back to) or would he be able to place down some kind of "shrine" or something only he can step on to "load" his previous stats when making the mark? Or will it be just like Damaein said on his post?

Anyways, that's all I really wanted to ask about Ekko. In all, I'm extremely excited for this new champion joining the Rift.

Here's a joke I found on his wiki page: What does Ekko do when he's hungry?

He goes back for seconds!

Plot twist: The new champion is the guy he was fighting

they announced after bard they wouldn't release any new champions. so it's probably a VU for teemo or something.

I was thinking the same exact thing. "Who is that guy in the suit? New Singed skin? Darius?"

To be honest, I can't find any way Ekko would be able to mirror the guy in the video without being totally overpowered, so I think I'd honestly like that other guy in the video anyway....

i mean we are more than likely to get more info or even a reveal some time this week or next, so why exactly try and find out when we will know in time? the only reason why i dislike stuff like this is because people take it too serious to the point where false information gets "released" and everyone jumps on it like its fact. I cannot tell you how many people on different LoL sites who claim to know what his skills, or other information on Ekko and people already saying he is "OP" because of his false skill set. its stupid to assume any information on him till an official release or statement on him is released!

I wanted to know your guys' feedback and what you think about this new champion and possibly speculate what his abilities might be in the meantime, you know, to keep us busy.

Based on the video he looks like a mobile melee attacker with some sort of mechanic that can prevent his death but costs his own health to use.

Since the patch is on Wednesday night, Ekko should be on the PBE during that time

And before Ekko goes on the PBE, Riot will reveal his entire ability list here.

Sooo....give it about 24 hours and your answers shall be answered.
