Ekko was intentionally overbuffed because he sucks as an assassin and Riot wanted him to be played as one. | ||

His kit just isn't that stable at the moment because he loses his major defensive steroid to do damage and has no hard CC. I don't see him liking most of the meta items so probably not OP anyways. | ||

Fire drake and Water drake seems OP as shit. Get those and hard snowball game. If it Air / Earth drake, cool, but meh. Well... Earth drake is nice in pro play I guess. Air drake is good just... meh. I guess it depends on numbers though. | ||

We are right about these things far more often than riot is, to be honest. Here's a list of quotes from after Duskblade was fully revealed (indeed, some after the item went live), with names redacted. You're telling me that the game would be better if these guys were in charge of balance? it doesn't *really* matter that this item is "ad" themed. you can build it on ap champs as well, because it's still 90 + 25% missing hp. less efficient since you the stats don't add to your combo buuuuuuut if you're a champ that autos with some frequency or has an aa reset maybe? Duskblade on EZ will be hilarious. now he just pokes harder. regardless of how good or bad this item is (hint its really good) This will be one of those troll patches like league of cleavers or 420 weedwick that you look back at later and shake your head. its going to be a shitty 2 weeks of league with everything I have read about this item it's gonna be like a hotfix type of issue. Got to say I'm pretty interested I'm probably gonna skip to much work for league tomorrow =-( You guys looking forward to lux Viktor 45 mins 0 action crapfests every pro game for the next month with a sum total of 4 ADCs? I know I am. How could I not be after 4 weeks of it already? You'd think Rito learns from their mistakes, and release brand new items a bit underpowered, rather than overpowered. At least it's been a while that they released a new champion in such a broken state as Diana was. So is the overall consensus that Duskblade is OPieOP and if you aren't playing an AD melee assassin, you're doing it wrong? an item that encourages poke even more in a defensive meta, and in its intended use makes champs even more binary? k. hahah. i can't believe they went live with duskblade | ||

So everytime you hit E+W+Q combo on an enemy you gain 3 AP? Veigar support, HERE I COME again ~~ ![[image loading]](https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tu-FDUOEWO8/VxaZ_6wPz7I/AAAAAAAANz4/PXtZWWZh3vca4Hs6MRNufGefkxjcQ9H8wCLcB/s400/lost%2Bchapter.jpg) This also looks awesome for AP/mana hungry supports. | ||

Will prob see more offtank AP ekko builds RoA->IBG->abyssal/zhonya types Yea I think Ekko might still be ridiculously strong since he's gotten a ton of incremental buffs to push AP Ekko over Tank Ekko. But all of the incremental nerfs are pretty big when put together, for example Nautilus is down ~15-20% of his overall dps with the Grasp, IBG, and his earlier E nerf. In terms of flat burst it's also ~350 dmg before resists which means now as an ADC instead of getting destroyed while CC-locked you live with a little more and can start lifestealing and kiting out of the fight. I think this is a lot better than last season when they would just gut any champion that was dominant, but all of the attempts to nudge things into balance might go out the window in the new patch (or we might just see a million bruiser APs in top and mid again). | ||
