Hi, im Korstus. a Charcoal 4 Ekko Midlane main. Of course, i know im definitely not the best. But i want to help people out.

Well, Ekko is a wonderful Midlane Utility Assasin. Hr has an amazing Clear Post 9, and even Pre 9 if you have Wand and Wisp. He Roams Great, and is generally a fun Champ to play. He can blow enemies up, and run away like Speedy Gonzales. His R is especially Fun. And Midlane lets Ekko have the most fun because Midlane is home to scaling Mages, which Ekko loves.

E1-Q-E2-AA: The bread and Butter combo. This is taught as a commandment to new Ekko players. Its quick, and its a great Burst Engage/Trade because you immediately Proc your Passive.

E1-W-Wait until Bubble forms-E2-Q-AA: Another great Engage with a slight disadvantage. Your Enemy needs to stay inside your W. But otherwise this is a great Animation Cancel.

W-E1-Q-E2-AA: This is the combo you use to engage from the side after coming bacl from a Roam. Very Good.

W-E1-Q-E2-AA until enemy is dead or ur Low-R: This is the tower Dive combo. Ekko is a great Tower Diver, just make sure to W the enemy UNDER Tower to get ur shield and Stun to Attack a little longer.

Basic Quick facts:

E is a great Animation Cancel. You can also E1-R for a Animation cancel on R.

If you R, and then Trail goes through W, W will proc.

When running Away, W in front of you a few units away. At Worst, itll slow. At best, itll stun and u can Engage them for Passive Proc to run away Faster.

Because Nashors is PROPAGANDA. Its not Good on Ekko. Yes, it has decent stats for Ekko but its Passive is just not good. When they buff Mashors Passive AP scaling, then use it on Ekko. But at the moment of this Guide, its Trash.

It benefits your Ukt greatly. The additional Heal or Damage may seem like nothing, but it isnt. And it reduces your Ult CD on Takedown, not Elim. So getting Assist still reduces your Ukt Cooldown by 7 Procent.

I personally Permaban Akali when i play Ekko. She is just a better Assasin no questions Asked. But i would recommend to Ban whomever you have problems with. Ekko, as great and wonderful as he is, has a lot of potential counters. I recommend to learn another Midlaner alongside Ekko, so you dont get cucked.

Pros:
Amazing Burst
W is a great Tool in Teamfights
Amazing Early and Late Game
R is a great Tool.
Has lots of CC in form of Slows and W
You become more Attractive when playing Ekko.

Cons:
Hatd CC=Death
Midgame is significantly Weaker
Mana Hungry Early Game
Damage Reliant, so if ur behind, thats where you stay.
W has a long Cooldown.
Gets countered easily.

As Ekko you want to go for quick Burst Trades. Ur Powerspikes are as Follows.
2-3-6-9-11-16
First Item- Second Item

Pre 6 you want to harass. Engage on Lvl 2 and 3 to force them out of lane Wave. At Level 9 Your Waveclear is Good, but as stated before you can achieve the same level of Waveclear at Level 7 if you have Starwand and Wisp.

After 6, you Shove and Roam. Dont force a Roam though, make sure there is good opportunity, because you dont want to waste your Time spectating Botlane, hoping the Support will overextend while your Enemy Laner gets Free hits on your Tower.

Wards: I personally Start the game off by Warding somewhere in the Enemy Jungle. Most of the time i War Red Buff or in front of Raptors. After that, Ward Drake and your Bushes to the side. You vould Also Ward your Junglers Opposite Buff (The one they arent starting off with). It may seem like a waste, but its better to know for sure the Enemy isnt somewhere than guess.

Thanks for reading this Guide. It may be ****.

And remember, Nashors Tooth isnt real. Its propaganda.
