Poppy

Poppy is a Tank with a good early game. Thereby she has good anti melee engage with W and a strong knockaway that stuns when nearby walls. Ekko relies a lot on being melee to deal damage, and is vunerable against crowd control combos while being in a teamfight. Poppy has all the tools that Ekko doesnt want to deal with.

Lillia

Fast clear speed / Strong early with massive movement speed. ( She can litteraly walk outside our Q and W whenever she wants on full stacks and still reach us. (Breaker of our Disengage).

Kha'Zix

Recommended to get horizon focus later in the game. Stealth gap closers. Ekko can overcome Kha'Zix easily with his W and R lockdown and value.

Elise

Agressive early game jungler that can bully us to death and even dive with her kit. We suffer from a weak early game and should always try to avoid events. At the same time we should try to countergank her dives.

Rengar

Rengar has an Anti - Assasin kit with his W. Even when he tanks our combo early/mid game we will still lose it. Try to avoid him, focus on farming, counterganking and gank. once reaching ur first item combined with R, Rengar becomes less of a threat.

Kindred

Rlly strong early with good movement on the map. Care for early invades and jungle camp swaps.

Graves

Rlly strong early with good movement on the map. Try to avoid his counterjungling style. many jungle camp swaps will happen in this matchup depended on allied and enemy teams that help him invade level 1.

Nidalee

Rlly strong early with good movement on the map. Care for early invades and jungle camp swaps.

Fiddlesticks

Fiddlesticks and Ekko both have a slow phased early game, thereby Ekko becomes stronger in dueling, but weaker in teamfights. Tenacity rune or/and boots are recommended into Fiddlesticks. Ekko W zone is a strong tool as counter engage or Fiddlesticks W removal.

Qiyana

Insane Burst inside a Crowd Controle opener. Try to avoid this to pre R the combo. Only if you will die from the entire combo. We have better clear than her and can match her if played correctly at all times of the game.

Rek'Sai

Rlly strong early presence / damage. Try to nullifië his early game. If we did so its really easy matchup. Ekko R is strong into Rek'sai R and his CC will always happen in the start, which means we get full value and receive no cc before we die for R.

Kayn

Rlly fast clear speed and aoe counterjungling.
Ekko R strong into Kayn R.

Skarner

Big Supression Crowd Controle tool. Only Qss can help this problem.
Overal general matchup that both can win. As Ekko recommended to go riftmaker / lethal or conq.

Diana

Diana jungle clear speed combined with early strength can be hard to deal with, but due to Ekko his mobility and W zone he can manage to overcome the early game. Whenever Diana or Ekko fall behind in this match up ---> they both will snowball very well.

Bel'Veth

Bel'Veth is a strong bruiser with a strong jungle scaling clear that excells even better on early herald fights. Ekko has the tools to match her once reaching level 6, thereby it depends on whom dodges Ekko W / R and Belveth W. Ekko R/W are good stat checks against Bel'Veth E and thereby Ekko can take over the game easily when ahead.

Gragas

Udyr

Evelynn

Hecarim

Good clear and strong into us. Try to avoid being killed in his Crowd Control.

Xin Zhao

strong into our early. But with our disengage tools we can manage and keep up on Skirmishes. first item nashors tooth combined with melee forced W and R are easy stat checks into Xin Zhao eventually.

Lee Sin

Rlly strong early with good movement on the map.

Ivern

Prevents our execute damage on W passive. Jungle bully and can trade into our early.

Zed

Zed jungle clear speed is way better than Ekko. Thereby Ekko has to be careful of level 6 Zed into Ekko encounter. Ekko has a strong follow up and mitigation to counter Zed once reached lvl 6. Thereby Ekko can match Zed dueling with good W placement.

Amumu

Amumu allows Ekko to safely enter the early game. Thereby Ekko his W and R value are easy to gain into Amumu. The only threat for Ekko is the Amumu Crowd Control that can lead Ekko into instant death to deny Ekko R.

Shen

Shen Solotarget jungle clear is really strong, try to clear solotarget camps so he will struggle, this will force him top clear aoe camps instead of invade. Ekko should try to sneak in an autohit before shen can block his, thereby Ekko can finish his Passive on Shen with x2 Q + 1 autohit. Main priority becomes dodging Shen E as well.

Viego

Volibear

Karthus

Karthus allows Ekko to safely enter the early game, thereby Ekko becomes a fast threat dive in for Karthus combined with high mobility as well. Ekko R denies Karthus his R as well.
