What makes Ekko dangerous
Ekko slows and stuns with his Q and W, dashes with his E, and his ultimate rewinds him a few seconds back to a shadow — healing him and dealing a huge burst. If he plays aggressively and it goes wrong, his ult undoes it, making him very forgiving and slippery.
How to play against Ekko
- 1Bait out his ultimate — after he uses it he has no escape or reset for a while. Punish him hard in that window.
- 2Dodge his W (a delayed stun zone) — it's the setup for his all-in. Move out of the circle before it detonates.
- 3He's cooldown-reliant and squishy. Hard CC before he can E away catches him mid-combo.
- 4Track his roams — Ekko's speed and mobility let him gank other lanes. Ward and follow, and MR survives his burst.
Weaknesses to exploit
- ✓Punishable window after his ultimate is used.
- ✓W stun is a dodgeable delayed zone.
- ✓Squishy — hard CC and burst delete him.
- ✓Weak early before he snowballs and gets items.
Abilities & how to counter them
What each of Ekko's abilities does — and how to play around it.
P
Risonanza del Motore-ZOgni terzo attacco o abilità che infligge danni allo stesso bersaglio infligge danni magici bonus e conferisce a Ekko un aumento della velocità se il bersaglio è un campione.
Q
CronodiscoEkko lancia una granata temporale che esplode, creando un campo di distorsione temporale se colpisce un campione nemico, rallentando e danneggiando tutte le unità nemiche al suo interno. Dopo un periodo di tempo la granata si riavvolge e torna da Ekko, infliggendo danni lungo il percorso.
W
Convergenza parallelaGli attacchi base di Ekko infliggono danni magici bonus ai nemici con poca salute. Ekko può lanciare Convergenza parallela per dividere la linea temporale, creando un'anomalia dopo pochi secondi che rallenta i nemici al suo interno. Se Ekko entra nell'anomalia, ottiene uno scudo e stordisce i nemici sospendendoli nel tempo.
Strong: a delayed zone that stuns — the setup for his all-in. Weak: move out of the circle before it detonates and his combo has no lockdown.
E
Salto fasicoEkko esegue una manovra evasiva mentre carica il suo Motore-Z. Il suo prossimo attacco infligge danni bonus e distorce la realtà, teletrasportandolo verso il suo bersaglio.
R
Frattura temporaleEkko distrugge la sua linea temporale, diventando non bersagliabile e tornando indietro nel tempo in un momento più favorevole. Ritorna dove si trovava pochi secondi prima, guarisce di una percentuale dei danni ricevuti in quel periodo e infligge danni ingenti ai nemici nella sua zona di arrivo.
Strong: rewinds him to a shadow, healing and dealing huge burst — undoes a bad dive. Weak: after it he has no escape or reset — bait it out, then punish him hard.
Itemization
Ekko is AP burst. Magic resist (Mercury's Treads, an MR item) and a Zhonya's/Banshee's answer him, and baiting his ultimate removes his safety. Track his roams with vision.
