Hello! Very well-made guide, my friend!
I have some things that I would like to ask:
1) Into squishy enemy team comps, would it be better to run Presence of Mind and something else from Precision?
2)Why do we need zhonya's hourglass on Ekko? Doesn't his ultimate already do all of that? Wouldn't it be better to opt for a different Armor focused item? I'm thinking maybe Dead Mans's Plate?

Let me know what you think!

Hi, thank you for liking the guide.

For 1) I would say no, because Ekko scales well enough with Items so more resources (permanent mana+regen, ability haste) are more useful and simultaneously increase his overall DPS. Though if you prefer the precision tree options you could do that.

As for 2) Zhonyas is a great pick on Ekko since his ultimate is what allows him to dive into the enemy team and onto carrys and Zhonyas is a useful tool to prolong having your ultimate up since you can just Zhonyas instead of instantly ulting out after jumping the backline.
I would not recommend to opt for any tank items (besides Abyssal Mask at best) because AP is crucial to Ekko since he has lower base damage and higher AP scalings on his abilities after his infamous tank ekko nerfs. Building tank therefore only weaken you as Ult+Zhonyas gives you very good survivability already.

Hey just a quick question man, what about CD-R, this build gives him 20 but only until his last item, or does ekko not really need CD-R and is aiming to OS the back like with the EQ combo with gun blade?

Hi, I liked the guide and wanted to one more tip by taking teleport as ekko, when you do teleport when you’re level 6 and some champion like Kayn would ult you, if you time it good then you can use your R to go back to the base and then you will kill him instantly in the spawn

My build is just one of many on Ekko; Zhonyas and Ludens are of course also really good items on Ekko aswell, so if you feel like you are more comfortable with Zhonyas as for example with Abyssal Mask, utility-wise, you can change and experiment with items and find out what you like the best.

Nice guide man, thanks for taking the time! My question is, wouldn't the new Dark Harvest be better than ignite? I'm FAR from an assassin player so i thought i'd ask as i literally have no idea

Ekko Rush B Guides (4) | November 24, 2018 8:20am
I appreciate the comment, but to be honest i don't understand the question. I mean you can take both Ignite and the new Dark Harvest...

Ekko Rush B Guides (4) | November 22, 2018 8:04am
Thank you for the comment!

So since teleport got nerfed, i think it more comes down to personal preferance.
Ignite gives you kill pressure, take it when you wanna play aggressively.
Additionally, not only you can secure kills with it but also deal with enemy healing too because it applies grievous wounds.

Teleport on the other hand gives you so many different options.
It allows you to trade much in lane, recall and teleport back to lane without missing experience and farm. You can use it to roam anywhere on the map, help teammates or teleport to a teamfight when you, for example, splitpush. Or you use it to defend or steal an objective.
It's an overall really versatile summoner spell which is why i prefer it over ignite.

This guide was one of the best guides I have ever read like seriously! My only question is that I have heard people saying I should zhonya for my clone to come close to me then r? Is that right or wrong and how could I use my r as a combo? ty in advance ;) really good guide!

Ekko Rush B Guides (4) | November 4, 2018 8:27am
Thank you for the nice feedback! :)
The Zhonyas Combo is pretty neat when you get chased, especially when you are low on health, because people will most likely gather around you to finish you off, so you can ult them right after exiting zhonyas.
But to be honest more high elo players won't always fall for this, which is why the Trick is so inconsistent.

You can combo your R in many ways. Not only for damaging, but for example also for repositioning, such as ulting back after you got knocked backed by Azir's R.
Also you can W the line between you and your ghost. Your ult is able to proc your W, so you can actually get the shield from your W when ulting, which is pretty useful in teamfights.

I really, really love the art for this guide. It's overall greatly done, despite it not being overly complex, so kudos for you.

One thing that I missed in your guide is that you did not mention that Parallel Convergence also has a sound effect that might indicate the skill was cast to the enemy (in addition to the visual cue). This might seem like a minor thing, but I frequently guide myself via the sound of the skill rather than its sight - so this could perhaps be another reason why casting the skill in a place where the enemy can't view you is important.

I have no other comments, especially so because you've been precise with regards to the Akali match-up. Great work!
