Hey friends,
my name is S4mst4r - My friends call me Sammy.
I'm a small german streamer... and a small person - Well FCK ME!
Atm i have 1,174,641 Points on Ekko and tried him even on AD - IT WAS FUNNY...but yeah...not good xD
I just wanted to share my experiences and my - right now - best Builds on Ekko.

Ye that's my Twitch-Link would be really cool to meet you - maybe we can learn from each other^^

In my opinion Ekko has a hard time in early Laning-Phase (at least in "higher" elo), because Mages that need to scale at least outrange you and Fighters/Assassins got a better Earlygame.
So take a step back and just wait for good opportunities, because your time will come - EKKO SCALES REALLY WELL!

My basic pattern to Oneshot enemies after I got some items is E-AA + Q + Rocketbelt + AA
--- If u want use Q during E (I use my Q most times after I blinked to the Enemy with E-AA because the Slow-Field spawns right inside the enemy and slows him longer & if he Flashes during E+Q your Q will miss)

I would recommend to use your Ultimate after a successful Assassin-Play if u think that you might get in trouble, before you stall. Because than your clone is closer to enemies and you get instead engaged afterwards.
But if you can manage to play around and hit enemies with R you played perfect :D

Thank you a lot for reading - Wish you a nice day CYAAAAA ^^

I recommend to go for Flash-Ignite in 99% of matchups unless u dont feel confident enough at the moment and just want to go for 0/0
Then take exhaust/teleport instead of ignite

It's fine if u don't want to take ignite in early stages of practise so don't feel bad - YOU GOT THIS!!!

I start every game with Corrupting Potion - It gives me really much Mana + HP and enables me to take good trades.
Use Potion, if you are full HP and low on Mana (happens in early stages of clearing waves with Q) and go for a fast trade with ur passive, so the HP regen isn't wasted + you get more Mana-Regen with Pressence of Mind
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GETTING THESE ITEMS UNTIL LVL 8 !!!!!

It seems wierd - YES - I know!

If u get this Items until level 8 - Should be easy possible through solid CS-ing (and u maybe get a Plating or a Kill - but not even needed) you can clear a normal minion wave with 1 Q and 3 AAs (one AA for every Melee-Minion to prock Passive)
This leads to an Insane spike you can use to apply pressure on the Map (Roams / Vision Control / Interruption Enemy Jungler)
You can deal an huge amount of Damage with this Items+Ignite you can use to get many Kills in this stage of the Game.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I recommend to complete this Items by buying their AP parts first (Amplifying Tomes > Ruby Crystal)
Mejays works really well with Rocketbelt -> Secures you free Assists or even Kills

If enemy Mid is dead/recalled/on roam and you push for the Tower and the Enemy Jungle approaches, just stand still and use W on yourself and Push for the Tower.
1.
W lands and you go out with shield
2.
If he attacks you and gets stunned by W - Use everything you got (Q+E+R+Ignite)on him and run out with passive... If he's not a Tank he will die to it.
Works really often most Junglers wont expect it.
