A little speculation on Ekko

So, for those who have seen the new teaser for Ekko we can clearly see he can manipulate time. But has any noticed the fact that he returns in the same position as always? Yanking that chord for his timey-wimey device.

So why does he always return to that exact position every time he pushes back through time? My theory is that at the very beginning of his Fights with the pseudo-urgot creature (MEANING NOT URGOT) before he started his rewinding tricks, he yanked that chord before the fight even began.

Now what does this mean exactly? My theory is that this will transfer over into his PBE trials, where before he can revert time, he will have to mark a point where he will time-warp back into.

For example: X = Ekko o = distance moved U = Point marked T = Point time warp was used

When he marks his position:-----U-X

When he moves away from position:------ U-o-o-o-o-o-X

When he time-warps back:------X-o-o-o-o-o-T

This seems like it is going to have a mechanic like Zed's Shadow Switch, where he will revert back to where he has marked. The only concern about this idea, is that it seems just like a dash-less version of LeBlanc's W, minus the damage.

I hope that they will add maybe a mechanic so when you revert time your abilities will be up for a short while before going back into their CD, so being able to plan battles to make the best of your abilities Cd-reduc, would allow some interesting fights.

This could also lead to people being able to drag fights away from his spot, so if they do use it, they wont be able to take use of his abilities temporary up-time.

Bonus round: Also note how Ekko's foe, Psuedo-Urgot, was always undamaged when he pulled his chord. This could mean that Ekko himself cannot be healed by his timewarp, but his opponents might.

actually if you believe the leak and look at the trailer,then he might actually revert everyone on the whole map.

The leak has been confirmed to be false, though.

Are you sure?The guy predicted that the next champ would be ekko,that he is a black kid with white hair and that he has time travel powers.

And even if the info about the ability was made up,then it still looks like he reverts everything except for his physical condition.

There was also info about his first skin being Chosen Ekko, Star Wars force user themed skin same as Master Yi and Jayce. Hope its true, it kind fits him.

Also, from what I've heard, the guy who leaked the kit even admitted on making the skills up.

ah ok thank you. But looking at his trailer it is quite likely that his ult will reset time in some way.
