I played two Ekko games, and I have to say this champion is so counterintuitive not just for my opponents, but for me as well. I think if I spend more time I'll get better at him; that being said, seeing all the competitive usage of him already, I think he is just going to get nerfed even more - I don't really see the point of playing him in solo Q.
One thing I don't quite understand is why people keep building so much damage on him. As far as I can tell, he got a lot of damage already - thus tankiness is more important.
You have accidentally pointed out why he is OP, because usually on an Ekko-like champion you would go 1-2 offensive items into tank (Jax/Irelia) but because of his shield and invulnerability frames that is not necessary.

what are you guys banning now? I'm basically banning jungles and ryze.

Jinx because shes a fucking nuisance. if She goes unbanned I play with or against her every game. Then Ryze and a tank jungler
|
I personally hate Kalista with a passion and will always ban her. Then I guess Ryze and ekko/Rek'sai

Ban annie because loli is crime and she is such a pain midlane.

Haven't seen an Ekko warranting a ban yet, and I let the "heavy duty" to the other team if possible (Gragas, Sej, Ryze, but I generally have to ban Ryze myself).
Leftover bans go to Rengar (didn't, but after getting one 4 times in 5-6 games and being remembered how he kills a squishy with 2 items even in the lategame if you're not playing support and sitting on top of them with exhaust), Vladimir (because cancerous and I can't lane against him if he's not utter trash) and Thresh (because too much of a nuisance for too many of my picks).
Ekko doesn't go in then stay there manfighting 1v5, you're doing it wrong if you feel like you need the tankiness.
Just use Q and autos to trigger your passive, and if you can kill someone auto a bit, if you're being targeted walk/E away then go back in once Q or W is available again.
You stay in and auto people to death once your main threats are either sub-30% so you'll kill them, or already dead.

Personally ban ekko because if I don't, and the other team picks him, my team will tilt, and it's a free loss. Then just junglers and ryze if the other team doesn't ban him.

ekko, ryze, kalista
don't really care about the junglers bans, they're not op enough to make a diference from other jungle picks in soloqueue imo. kalista and ryze straight up hard counter half the champion roster, and ekko because otherwise ppl cry about why is he not banned
|
I ban cho ryze Kalista and if someone on my team asks me not to ban Nasus or vayne I ban them cuz I don't want them on my team.
|
if someone needs to ask to not ban nasus or vayne they clearly dont even play this game lol
|
Ryze, Kalista and Shaco. If enemy bans some of them I just ask my team for what they want for the last slot(s). To hell with the meta, just ban champions you hate playing with or against.
Shaco is the ultimate "if on your team he sucks, on the enemy team he is a god" champion.

I'm sort of glad I don't have internet at my house right now, otherwise I would have to deal with this ryze bullshit in yolo queue

Is it reasonably in the realm of the possible that you switched from being a Fizz picker to a Ryze picker, Neo?
Not that it changes so much in the end. Still a blue-coloured champion played off lane in competitive and drawing Cheep's ire.

No, if anything, I play Fizz Top and Mid now. Top is usually Cinderhulk. Mid is AP still.
Ryze is too much skill for me. Faceroll how?

So I played a few games of Leblanc, W just feels really unsatisfying to use and it's pretty easy to get it interrupted now.
I would prefer they revert speed and just nerf her damage/cd... it's not like people couldn't dodge/interrupt it before anyway but now it's so slow and it becomes easy to lose your damage from it.

it's a .087 second difference

Which is like 25% slower, it feels pretty different from before especially when using double w.
