Does everybody have to dodge because they didn't get Ekko?

Seriously, what the fuck. At least 15 matches Today players dodged just cause they didn't get Ekko. -_-

He's not only brand new, but insanely OP. Teambuilder games are having a hard time forming because no one wants to play an ADC.

i think new champ should cost more ip. i suggest riot to make 20Kip the first week or 3000RP.

It's new champ syndrome, everyone wants to play them so you have 5 people fighting over that lock in. And when they don't they decide to dodge until they think they can get him.

Hate it, but that is the way it is.

Welcome to the League of Legends, filled with more whiney, entitled babies than all billionaire nurseries combined.

Honestly i am gonna take a week off because this champ pretty much has the ability to 1 shot lvl 1 and i dont wanna be in the game now

Yup. I'm guessing they are the ones that are too unintelligent to realize there is a que where they can select exactly who and where they want to play.

This is why riot should of brought in All-For-One instead of Hexakill.

No one wants to play against a champion that is OP as hell is why.

You must be new here.

This is called "New Champ Syndrome."

NCS is a devastating recurring condition of League of Legends where players are overcome by the crippling uncontrollable urge to play the new champion AT ANY COST! It also has a secondary condition that causes League to explode with QQs about the new champ because they don't know how to play against him yet and an extensive history of this behavior goes forgotten with EVERY NEW CHAMP RELEASE.

There is no known cure... I'm sorry.

For additional information please also refer to the section on "The Cycle of Stupid" otherwise known as Buff/Nerf Player Opinion Cycle.

Just play ranked and ask fp to ban the stupid thing lol. People dodge less in ranked bc of LP loss so you get to play a game. Other wise yeah, new champ week is legit just "learn/play the new champ" week if you own it.

cause the way i see it is. Rito decided to take longer to release champions, then when one gets released everyone wants to play him/her and everyone knows it will be awhile before a new flavor of the month comes out. Aka new champion. I been here since season one when we would get 3 champions a month, we all knew this type of front loading couldn't go on forever so now we are left with OP champions on release everyone wants to play him/her because everyone is tired of the same old boring champions.

yeah, that's what we had to deal with on the pbe

In Team Builder, I dodge every team which includes an Ekko, cz it pretty much guarantees that he will do nothing but feed for the first week or two.

Meanie405/29/2015, 3:38:08 AM1 votes

Yes. It happens every release day on a champion that's even marginally powerful.

NinjaFifer5/29/2015, 3:46:22 AM1 votes

And that's why teambuilder exists...

Aerothal5/29/2015, 3:17:44 PM1 votes

been playing since Season 2 and that's just how it is when a champ gets released. you can do a couple things. play teambuilder and enjoy ekko mirrormatches all day. play draft and dodge 1k times or get raged at when you ban ekko. play ranked where he is permabanned because a) he is new and b) he is fckn OP. cheers

I think it's pretty funny that before people be like "release more mid lane/assassin champs!" But, this is what happens when they make new mid laners because so many people play mid.

Either way, people who want to play Ekko, but don't pick him fast enough: this is your chance to figure out how to counter him in other roles! :D
