What do you guys think about Ekko’s ult trail be invisible to enemy champions? Would it actually be broken?

Ekko has arguably the best smite in the game, but what are exactly the numbers? For example at 3 items (dnd, shadowflame and raba), it's around 2.3k, then at like 2? What's the exact dmg?

Hi everyone, I’ve been playing Ekko in the mid lane since the start of the season. I’m currently Gold 2 (with a peak Elo of Platinum 4), and I’d like to hear your thoughts on my situation. Right now, I have a lot of questions about how I’m playing the lane. I feel like I’m doing something wrong. I feel like I’m weak. I can’t one-shot carries (unless I’m really fed), even though I leave the lane at 3/0 with 10 CS/min, and even with Dusk and SF, I don’t feel like I’m really fed. At the start of the season, I felt like my damage was much higher. I could dive into the back lane. So I’m thinking that my playstyle isn’t working anymore, but in that case, I’m only good for taking out mid-game targets. I don’t know if anyone can help me better understand how to play Ekko in the mid-game and in team fights. I’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance. Sorry if the question is a bit silly or if it’s already been asked somewhere :).

P.S.: Sorry if my English is a bit rough. I’m having a little trouble with it.

I'm a main Ekko jungler on Emerald Island. I've always played that role, but at the beginning of the year I took a break from ranked play.

I even tried to gradually get back into it over the last few months, but I always stopped. And in the last few weeks I've only been playing Ekko mid to learn how to play mid, and because I like Ekko mid's early game.

But sometimes I get jungle matches and I feel really weak, it seems like all the champions are stronger than Ekko in the jungle. I know it's always been like this, but it's never been a problem.

Maybe it's the rank; I reached Emerald right before I stopped playing ranked, I must be just experiencing firsthand what this cursed rank does to people... But I want to know if you guys... Is Ekko really weak in the jungle? Or is Emerald just a cursed elo player?

I'm slowly getting back into ranked play, aiming for Master rank.

Can you tell me about your jungle experience, like the runes and builds you've been using or your gameplay style

I usually do a full clear before anything else, and when I'm fed, I force plays.

Starting ekko in low elo (gold)
I know how this champ works but not sure when i’m suppose to pick him

Pretty sure that it’s good against squishy champs right? Just other than that, is it good for long fights against tanks?

also wanna know a good match up for him

Hi im a very casual emerald 2 mid main, I have a low champ pool (qiyana and hwei two-trick) so im looking to add ekko. Im trying to get him to the same knowledge level as my mains so i have a few questions.

- Why HoB? I see its strengths but I feel like it’s value isn’t consistently usable especially after DnD. Is it viable to main electrocute instead?

- How good is lich bane now for ekko? Surely it has way more burst than Dusk and dawn right? Maybe you take it with electrocute for an assassin snowball build? Dusk and Dawn feels a lot safer but sometimes i want the threat of one-shotting someone from full ya know

- Also is it ever a protobelt angle? It doesnt seem like ekko needs it anymore

- Ive been running manaflow band and scorch secondary; is this the only secondary runes ill need?

- How much of Ekko's skill curve is about using his W effectively? Some fights feel impossible for Ekko and im starting to think all his viability is playing around W and not whiffing it

- What team comps or enemy matchups does Ekko excel in? I want to know when i should be picking hwei vs ekko

-what is the best 2nd item that isnt shadowflame, for when the enemy team is tanky or builds mr early?

- If theres a fed backliner, how does Ekko deal with them? Is he just forced to depend on his team engaging on them first? If your team can't will you just lose to team comp diff? Otherwise all i can seem to do is just trigger my passive and run and wait for cd, but I feel really useless then and fights tend to end too quickly. The same is for really brawly melee comps as well.

I play with a friend who always complains about me always trying to use my ultimate to deal damage (and sometimes mistiming it).I've been an Ekko main for about 3 years and I know my champion's damage output. So I try to make plays and explore ways to use my ultimate to deal damage. That's why he complains, because sometimes I use my ultimate to reposition myself (even when I have full health).

I don't know, I think it's stupid to use the ultimate just to heal or get out of a bad situation, when we can make plays where the enemy stops on top of us and takes the R in the mouth, or to replenish ourselves.

Do you agree with him?

I'm trying to play a little more Ekko. Right now I'm building him this way:

1. Red Jungle Pet
2. Duck and Down
3. Tier 1 boots
4. Rabadon
5. Sorcery Boots
6. ShadowFlame

Is this a good 3-item build or should I change the order?

Thanks!

It doesn't do any damage and I find the stun just ruins my kiting. However, most build sites suggest to take W 2nd before E (even on Jungle), and in-game it suggests to take W first. Is there something I'm missing?

I understand Ekko top hasn’t been a thing since tank Ekko, but if I want to play him mid primary and queue top secondary can I still play him top or am I just better off playing something else (current top pool is Mundo/Morde)?

What build differences would there be? Basic trade pattern things to think about (I get it would be super match dependent)?

Hey all, just picked up Ekko and I'm trying to learn the combo where you E1+Q > E2 and the Q follows you onto your target for an instant passive proc. I've been practicing it in the practice tool and I can't get it to be consistent. Sometimes it works and everything hits at the same time, other times my Q cast goes off and then I E2 separately. Ultimately wanting to learn this so I can pull off the EQ + Flash combo. Thanks.

I'm in like Gold 3, and i've been playing ekko for a while as a main, and overall in almost all games i end up with a very low total damage dealt every game. My corcern is if this is normal or should i be trying to make more damage in some way? I know damage dealt isn't everything you need to win a game but it seems wrong how low my total damage is every game compared to the total damage my teammates do

Hi!

I have been playing Ekko jungle for some time. There is one thing i struggle with. I have been strugggling with it my whole life tbh, which is buying proper items for my champion

I wanted to ask you what items in what order should i be buying on Ekko deppending on match-ups?

Thank you in advance for all the answers <3
