Ekko is a burst assassin much like Diana or LeBlanc and while relatively easy to play, has a high skill cap. You must be able to position yourself and manage your cool downs properly to ensure success in lane.

Farming with Ekko is easy. Simply use your Q for the dual purpose of poking the enemy laner, and to hit as many minions you can on the way out and in, this will apply two stacks of your Z-drive, which then coupled with one auto should make short work of most minions. I like to save my E as an escape or to trade with my opponent and try to avoid using it to farm.

Playing as Ekko can be a ton of fun 1v1 in lane, but when you go into team-fights things can get hectic. Ekko needs to dance on the edge of battle poking with his Q until an engager on your team takes the initiative and goes in. Once the fight is engage you want to drop your W where most of the enemy champions are located and then E to that location to stun as many of the enemy as you can and to gain a shield. Lastly, try and make sure that your ult is located amongst some of the enemy before you use it, to maximize the heal you'll gain as well as the damage output. At the end of the day, it comes down to how well positioned you are at the start of the fight and how well you can get your ult positioned before you need to pop it.

For those of you who plan to jungle with Ekko, if you've played Diana, its similar to that. His early game is slow, but once you hit level 4 you'll be fine. Start off with your W on the camp, then Q and E in, by then the stun/shield will have applied and the mob should be close to dead.
