He is blind pickable as hell as he is a flex pick, but also there are not really any team comps that counter him. When you lock in Ekko, the enemy team does not know if it's an Ekko mid or an Ekko jungle. You snowball super hard, with insane scaling and you're also one of the safest champs to buy Mejai's Soulstealer on which lets you snowball even harder. Once you get fed you have the mobility to kill everyone, as well as you being extremely hard to kill. With his Q wave clear makes it super easy to pick up a lot of farm and get fed solely off minions, which you will see if you ever check my stream where I almost every game end up with around 10 cs/min. Ekko is a super unique champion and also super rewarding to learn properly.Įkko is also extremely easy to carry with. He requires a ton of match up knowledge, things like Parallel Convergence placement, Chronobreak usage, learning to not skill R until you use it, general comboing, how to play the map, how to play side lane etc. Ekko mid is one of the hardest champions in the game, he's not that hard to play, but his skill ceiling is soooo high. Any match up is playable as long as you know how to play it. Ekko steamrolls these champs and gets free scaling, and you also have the potential to impact the game early in these match ups, as well as many other match ups.Įkko is a super flexible champ. You also have to remember that a LOT of control mage players ban Kassadin, so he will often not even be an option. But even if Talon gets ahead, you usually end up beating him after 2-3 items.Įkko is the go-to pick if you wanna beat control mages consistently. But Qiyana falls off super fast if her first roams don't work, the only roaming match up that's hard is Talon. Not Kassadin levels of scaling but he still becomes a monster on 3-4 items and level 16.Įkko is not an optimal pick into heavy roam champs as he doesn't really have the mana or wave clear early to match champs like Qiyana and Talon. Ekko can struggle as well but he can ALWAYS survive and he scales super well. Kassadin surely is good into these champs, so why wouldn't you just pick Kassadin into them? What if your jungler wants to play the game early? What if the enemy jungler is a Rek'Sai and your jungler is a Karthus? These situations will happen in Soloq, and what are you going to do when you reach a level where the enemy mid pushes 3 waves into a cheater recall into a freeze and your jungler doesn't understand how to help you, or maybe he's not even able to? As Kassadin you are doomed in this situation and then the game is no longer in your hands. Ekko absolutely smashes champs like Xerath, Vel'Koz, Taliyah, AP Kog'Maw, does super well into Azir, Syndra, Viktor, Corki (ad control mage), and also does well into Orianna, a champ that barely has any bad match ups.Ī lot of Ekko's bad match ups are melee APs like Sylas, Diana, Kassadin and Akali, but as long as you ban Kassadin these are all playable. Why would you pick Ekko into control mages? Control mages are extremely easy and often unfair match ups. Ekko can also later easily outscale and beat most assassins in side lane. A well played Ekko can beat almost any assassin, Akali and LeBlanc are the two hardest assassin match ups ( Kassadin is the hardest match up but not really an assassin imo). Why would you pick Ekko into assassins? Ekko is one of the AP champs with the best match up into champs like Zed and Qiyana without even needing to get early armor (even though it's extremely helpful). Why should you pick Ekko into different champs when you can play something else? Why would you play Ekko into assassins? Control mages? Roamers? Some of you might already be Ekko mains, but some of you might question why you should pick Ekko. This is the OPGG link to the accounts I play on I've beaten a lot of pro players with my Ekko, here's a clip of me solo killing Faker during Worlds last year. I really love Ekko so I'm super hyped about this guide! I also stream regularly over on Twitch as I said, where you can watch me live or watch my VODs to see exactly how I play! I will also answer every single question you guys have during my streams. Then I hit Challenger again in Season 9 and I'm currently around 900 LP Challenger on EUW. I hit Challenger by one tricking him for the first time in Season 8. I have played Ekko since his release in Season 5. Hello my friends! I am HawHawNeverLucky, a Challenger Ekko mid lane OTP. To stay updated check out my stream! I have VODs enabled so you can check out exactly what I am building and taking as my runes and how I play etc. Things are changing very fast in the preseason as we are figuring out new builds, runes etc.
