Can we stop saying if something was strong once it shouldn't be viable at all.

This kind of mentality of "well this X is strong so FUCK THEM and lets NERF THEM INTO THE GROUND AND NEVER BE GOOD FOR MONTHS" is the stupidest thing I see. What about those mains?

Was it really fair to Jax mains for Jax to be completely gutted just because "he was strong at time." (48% winrate top lane, 52% jungle. I'm talking pre-mage update.) What about Ekko mains? You think it's fair to Ekko mains to nerf him trying to keep his passive slow then remove his passive slow making him terrible? No it's not. What about everyone who used Fervor of Battle? Was it really ok to remove ability stacking and nerf it into AD that only ADCs can use effectively? No it's not.

Just because something was strong once doesn't mean it shouldn't ever be strong again, or even viable.

i really like the Ekko changes as a level 6 ekko (officially i'm level 5, i have the two level 6 tokens but no blue essence LUL) yeah no slow sucks but it really helps against tank ekko and making ap a lot better, riot could have very easily nerfed ekko to the ground by reducing damage and taking his healing from his ult entirely, however when they did lower his damage on his abilities they vamped the ap ratios, again, making you think twice before building tank

also i find the new healing on his ult not only buffing it for ap ekko but shitting on tank ekko at the same time, instead of a percentage of damage taken in the last 4 seconds which tank ekko abused, it is now gets stronger for each percent of health ekko has lost in the last 4 seconds

i really like this, overall this to me seems like a nice buff for ekko, fixing the problems of being too squishy but targeting tank ekko as well

also the +1 mana regen is nice too :)
