Interesting, I figured his style to be more AD based from his video, but I guess an AP build path fits his kit better. (I'm just guessing he's meant to scale on AP because of the released voiceovers having special interactions with Rabadon's and Nashor's, I would've expected a Zhonya's interaction even if he didn't scale with AP at all)
And I've gotta say, I love the voiceover. So sassy!
Commit Sudoku1 votesHe is like Diana he will able to abuse the new Abyssal I am so glad he is AP tbh.
Them voice over quotes got me hyped.
Deathcap: I'm not much of a hat guy but this is awesome. Rabadon must have been a cool dude.
Zhonya's or Luden's: Why wouldn't I get this it was made for me.
Nashor's: That's a big tooth.

blacktornado211 votesI would like him to be hybrid.
XinZhao2WinNhao1 votesI would like him to be hybrid.
there havent been a lot of new hybrid champions since 2013 because honestly they're quite hard to balance
the problem with hybrid champions is that you will seldom get to use all your abilities to their full potential, you have to choose which abilities you rather scale
ƒoes1 votesEDIT: Actually, I just remembered that Ekko had a sword in his hand in his teaser video. So is he like Kassadin, an AP melee? I feel like he would be. Or some interesting mechanic where he does magic damage that scales off of his attack damage, who knows?
blacktornado211 votesI was thinking Ekko was going to be hybrid, as well, sort of like Ezreal, where he can be played as a viable ADC/Hybrid carry. However, I don't think this is going to be the case and Ekko will most likely be played in mid-lane or support (but rarely so). Anybody else have ideas on what lane he'd be most viable for? I plan on getting Ekko when he comes out if I like his kit enough, so feedback and insight on what lane you think this champion should go would be much appreciated.

They probably will pull a kassadin on this one. If he's not a hybrid bruiser his kit screams kassadino assassino. However, support isn't likely. He has the utility, but doesn't seem like the kinda champ who would be stuck babysitting his adc.

As much as I hate 
I think an Ekko+Kalista lane would be terrifying.
Just terrifying.
Variks the Loyal1 votesThey may expect him to be a bit of a hybrid, he has shop quotes for Trinity Force and Hextech Gunblade.
Pæan1 votesIf you look at abilities alone then Ekko is an AP champ, but so would Shaco be an AP champ. Shaco has 1:1 ratio on E and R and a good ratio on W-boxes. Only AD type ability shaco has is the crit attached to his Q-deceive. I could see you building him AD w/ hydra and maybe some crit like shaco, or AD bruiser like an evelynn build.
