"we nerfed Ekko cuz he could build tank and still do damage"

You see, the problem with Ekko is that he's has an AOE stun, and 3 slows (two of them being AOE slows); (Q and W before stun) and his passive slows enemies and gives him up to 80% movement speed after he procs it.

He can jump over walls with E, and escape fights with ult, while healing back up. He can also dash and then blink with his E, which also applies ON-HIT effects AND SPELL EFFECTS.

He had too much damage, too much utility, too much mobility and too much safety.

Meanwhile Vlad, Darius, Garen, Amumu, and pretty much every fighter just like him ever.

It was that Ekko was nerfed for doing assassin burst damage and still being tanky.

That's not why they nerfed ekko, they nerfed ekko because they couldn't justify having a champion who was that mobile and having that much cc also be too durable to peel off easily.

Vlad pretty dumb right now tho I do agree

eh idk how i feel about the tank ekko nerfs since i dont play him but i do know the Main issue is the tank items being to strong again that lets these assassins build tanky and still do stuff ..personally assassins should be glass cannons...

the only acceptable followup after that title is fizz.

vlad is designed to build tank and do damage. thats his role.

not ekkos, not akalis, and not fizz.

The main problem is that a lot of people don't try to avoid his attacks when his Crimson Rush is ready.
