How do you think Ekko looks as a Jungler so far? Promising?
He needs a nerf. :| Lol, he's really incredible. I'll go over what I learned about him thus far watching PBE test footage.
1.) Low health. He doesn't have as much HP as the other junglers, so if he doesn't get a really good leash at the beginning, you may feel pain.
2.) Going off of 1, you want to get your Q first since that is your skill shot and it hits 2. It'll do the damage. Once you level up, put your next point into your W. Once it pops after 3 seconds, it'll give you a nice shield to soak up damage.
3.) Going off the W, it actually stuns anybody in the AoE affect as long as you stepped into it. With that said, no need for shield cause they're stunned for a good while, so that'll stop some of the incoming damage.
4.) To help clear camps to alleviate damage and to speed through, you want the trailblazer. Smiting a jungle camp will do a small AoE hitting the other monsters near your target. You will also want Magus because it gives you magic damage on hit with each and every large or epic monster you kill.
5.) His ganks are good because as long as you PLAN AHEAD (you must plan ahead because it's not a reactionary tool), you can send out your W to where you believe the enemy will end up, then you charge in. His E has a double dash. Press it once to tumble roll in one direction, then right click the target within your area of effect, and you'll blink straight towards them for a melee auto. If you use your W right, you would have baited them into your AoE, possibly dodged a skillshot, gap-closed onto them (possibly twice if you tumbled straight at them), stunned them, gain a shield for any enemy that was not in the AoE, and beat the crap out of them until they die.
6.) If, by chance you find your self in a tough spot, you can Ult to where you were 4 seconds ago to heal damage taken and escape. This can be used to allow you to dive the enemy and soak up turret aggro before ulting to disengage. Because it's for 4 seconds ago, if you're fast enough, you can recall, buy any items you need, then ult RIGHT back into jungle. He only needs a second (2...3...4?) to do what he needs. Also, if you play your cards right, you can bait the enemy. Have them chase you, blow their ults spells, blah blah, on you, then ult away as your team comes in to destroy the enemy. So...yeah!
7.) His passive works as an execute. When planning how to take out an enemy think "Finish off" rather than "Obliterate". He mops up low health targets. He can't really "100-0" (unless you're that good)
TLDR;
Very promising
