A look at Ekko

So this is one of the lores which I honestly found to be the worse(exclusion to Skarner's and Rammus' which is pretty much just "WIP"). Basically: Ekko has a machine that can reverse time One day his friend dies His machine breaks and he cannot travel back to save him

Now there are a few details that make this lore pretty bad. First off Riot from what I remember in their AMA claimed Ekko was suppose to stand on the more good/heroic side for Zaunite characters. Yet after finding out his friend got shot because he tried robbing a man he decides to go on and attack the killer himself. That really isn't a heroic/good thing at all, and although I dislike the term "victim blaming" that was pretty much what his lore was.

Also he blatantly discriminates against people from Piltover, for what seems to be no good reason at all other than Piltover is way better and more civil than Zaun.

Yes, because people often think rationally during catastrophic events.

Or, you know, because a Pilty killed his friends, and he thinks they're a bunch of snobs who look down upon Zaunites?

Everything is relative. Compared to the likes to Mundo and Singed, I'd say he's pretty damn 'good'.

Ekko didn't kill the Piltovian and honestly,I doubt that the piltovian was telling the truth. ajuna didn't even saw the guy,only remembering the whistling.

The piltovian being like "he tried to steal THIS" is a pretty damm generic trick to surprise someone with an attack and even then,shooting a kid,that tried something to steal from you is still quite extreme.

Him discriminating against piltover most likely comes from piltover discriminating against zaun,he is pretty much the first champ to emphasize the rivalry between piltover and zaun(until now all we've got were the rivalries between jinx&VI and Jayce&Viktor,but those are more personal conflicts)
