Hello everyone, i'm Rieeyn and i'm a Ekko main in EUW server, at the moment place in Diamond. Since i love this champion so much, i would share with you my builds/runes/advices, hoping someone else could benefit from them. Let's get started!

Indeed, Ignite and Flash are the 2 commons summoner's spell on Ekko due the recent buff to Ignite & Teleport nerf! Other spells you may take are Exhaust or Cleanse in some specific match ups, but i recommend to use the commons summoners until you didn't truly learn how to play Ekko.

Won't explain the abilities since you can read them by moving mouse over the icon. Will instead give you some tips and tricks.
-Remember Z-Drive Resonance doesn't apply for 5 seconds on the same target, so try to calculate proprietly WHEN hit and when run.
-You max Timewinder first since is Ekko's only ranged spell and hasthe better scaling. You will use it both for push and harass your opponent.
-Remember that early levels your first Timewinder is stronger than when it comes back, but is the exact opposite once you max it.
- Phase Dive allows you to jump through walls with both the dash and the blink, so provide a good vision to maximize this spell chase/escape potential!
-You can make the stun of your Parallel Convergence proc even if you ult inside/outside of your ult.
-Your W shield duration is 2 seconds, but if you stun them they can't move/attack for 1.75 seconds! So unless your opponent used a spell that will hif you even after got casted, or you're affected by a damage over time spell, stunning enemies will make the shield usefull for 0.25 seconds only.

As a common mortal i also read guides/watch pro player streams to learn something, and after trying few rune assets, these are the ones i think are more suitable for Ekko at the very moment! Here's why:
- Electrocute is great for burst, and also now has halved cooldown in early game, so is perfect for trade in lane. Just remeber your Q applies 1 stack of electrocute even if it hits 2 times!
- Sudden Impact if good to penetrate the target magic resistance once you jump in with pahse dive. Due recent nerfs to that mastery, Cheap Shot is a good alternative, but personally i prefer the classic one.
- Eyeball Collection give you up to 20AP. Better than the 10AP max the Ghost Poro grants you, but still that is a good alternative if you do not have a good ward control.
- Ravenous Hunter is the best, even if all 4 hunters are good on Ekko. I prefer this one cause provide a little bit of sustain, so fit my lack of safety.
- Ispiration secondary is good since grants you 20AP instantly and has good runes such as:
- Biscuit Delivery that allows you to hard trade in lane and recover hp (in combo with Corrupting Potion & Dark Seal.
- Time Warp Tonic has "time" on its name so must be choosen! Just kidding, with the combo i quoted above is really great cause extending the duration of potions means more healing, and also gives you a little move speed buff.

Starting with Corrupting Potion helps a lot since it makes easier to recover hp/mana from the trades in lane. Buying Dark Seal at first back will maximize your healing for more trades, and hextech revolver sure helps a lot synergizing with Phase Dive. Hextech Rocketbelt is among the best hextech item to build on Ekko. Why not Hextech Gunblade you say? Well, long story short, Ekko does not required neither the slow from Hextech Gunblade active, neither the ad or heal on spell it grants. He benefits way more from the little dash, the bonus hp and the cooldown reduction provided by Hextech Rocketbelt.
Sheen has great potential with pahse dive and you will likely upgrade it into Lich Bane every game, except vs a full ad comp where Iceborn Gauntlet become the most useful thing in the game. Boots are already commented on the notes so i skip them.
Zhonya's Hourglass is very good on Ekko but not a must, you may play without it. Nashor's Tooth is good vs bruisers/tanks to damage them constantly and gives you a good attack speed to make Parallel Convergence's passive to work better. Banshee's Veil is great vs a comp who engages with hard cc, so you deny them a kill if you get caught, and quickly go back with your ult.

Hope you guys enjoyed this guide and hope it will help you ^^
