Outscales you, basically unkillable after 6. Try to stomp him early, TAKE IGNITE and cheapshot.
Yasuo
Good Yasuo will outpush you and out cs you. Laning is super painful. Tp recommended.
Ryze
Ryze outscales you hard. You have to stomp him early, but thats also pretty hard tbh. Take cheapshot and ignite.
Darius
Counters any melee. Dont risk against him in lane. Would ban him if you are toplane.
Fiora
Big counter, even outside your lane.
Can counter your passive and deals more damage.
Zoe
Not a good matchup, she can poke you out hard. And kill you just with her long cc in teamfights. TP, shove, roam.
Akali
Slippery, hard to combo out. She has a lot of sustain, i usually take tp and i dont fight her.
Diana
Dodge her poke in lane. Wait for her Q and W cooldowns, then you can try to trade.
Fizz
Another slippery *****. Hard to combo out.
Lucian
Basically any ad ranged champion can hard bully you early. Try to set up a gank. Lucian even has mobility.
Tristana
See Lucian. Trist has even more all-in potential.
Cassiopeia
Her grounding is nasty. She is also pokey.
Galio
Counters you in lane and in teamfights. You cant kill him but he surely can kill you. Take tp, make plays elsewhere.
Malzahar
His ult is very dangerous for you in fights.
LeBlanc
Another slippery champ. Hard to combo out. Would suggest shoving and roaming, taking tp also.
Pantheon
Lane counter, can block your passive.
Swain
Tanky and has damage + cc
Thats never good for Ekko.
You have to shove and roam. You can fight him, but only when he doesnt have stun and your chances are better.
Sylas
Anti AP
Steals your Ult.
He outrades you most of the time.
Be careful, shove, roam.
Twisted Fate
Lane isnt a big deal, but the gold card in teamfights is super dangerous for you. Try to flank, after he uses it.
Vladimir
Tanky, healing, a lot of damage, can dodge your passive. Be careful, dont trade after approx. 2 backs unless you stomp him early. Take ignite, cheapshot and build morello after lich bane.
Annie
Good Annie can outpoke you and bully you hard, but she is also very squishy, sou if you play around her stun, you can easily kill her.
Orianna
She was always hard for ekko, but good wave management can f her up.
Zed
Skill matchup, very fun imo.
Ult is important.
Azir
Wierd lane, but basically try not to take free damage, you will have to give up some cs.
Ahri
You cant really engage unless you dodge her E, but you outdamage her well.
Cho'Gath
Annoying matchup, dont risk after 6. Try to make plays elsewhere.
Heimerdinger
Havent seen him in mid for quite a long time, but he is pretty annoying. Dont trade-risk too much, reather try looking only for good trades and all-ins.
Jayce
I dont have too many games against him. I would say its skill based.
Katarina
She is slippery, so dont get cheesed pre 6. Try to shove her so she cant roam. If she does, ping and push, dont follow unless its safe and worth.
Lissandra
Pokey, take tp, shove, roam.
Malphite
Kinda annoying and pokey. You have to react fast when he ults you and ult before he hits you.
Mordekaiser
Skill matchup.
Qiyana
Skill based matchup, watchout for her stuns.
Talon
Skill matchup. Ping his roams.
Corki
idk this champ si kinda dead
can poke you, but you can obviously burst him out if you are dodging.
Lux
If she misses her stun, you can combo her out.
Neeko
Dodge her stun, then combo her out.
Syndra
Watchout for her early poke, and focus on good wave management. You can burst her out when she doesnt have a stun and you can also counter her R with yours.
Pyke
You are much better in lane, ping his roams tho and push him hard.
Viktor
Pokey, you can jump on him.
Shove, roam.
Ziggs
Can be a bit annoying, but you should outdamage him easily.
Anivia
I wouldnt really try to kill her, because of her passive. Just shove and roam.
Aurelion Sol
Can be pokey, but if he uses his stun, just jump on him.
Veigar
Just dance around in his cage. Jump on him afterwards. You can be aggressive but watchout for ganks.
Brand
Just dodge his poke and stun. Then delete him.
Vel'Koz
Dodge practice.
Jump on him whenevere he has spells on cooldowns.
Xerath
Dodge practice. Wait for his cd then jump on him.
Singed
He throws enemies for you to smash them.
Yuumi
Can peel for you in fights. Basically prepares enemies for you.
Kha'Zix
Good snowballing duo, if you win early.
Jarvan IV
Basically any jungler with cc is good with Ekko.
Lee Sin
Can kick people in your W.
Synergies
IdealStrongOkLowNone
Singed
He throws enemies for you to smash them.
Yuumi
Can peel for you in fights. Basically prepares enemies for you.
So as Ekko, you want to ideally: bully your opponent, shove the wave, roam and get kills either for you, or your teammates, then snowball the game out of control.
The weakness of Ekko is obvoiusly in his matchups. As you can see he has a lot of hard matchups and counterpicks - thats just another reason why Ekko jungle is so strong.
The strenght of Ekko is in his skirmishes and teamfights power. Also his damage is busted once you get ahead.
Early game
Be PATIENT. I cant stress this enough. Dont just jump on everyone lv2, most of the time you will get outdamaged. There are some matchups where you have to be more aggro, but most of the time, you should wait for you powerspikes.
Once you get protobelt, take lense and start the shove > roam > shove > roam
Playing Ekko mid is like playing "sekkond" jungler. (haha)
Mid game
Usually go to sidelane if you are ahead and push, look for picks and deep ward.
Watchout for objectives tho as your team will need you, especially if you have most of the kills.
Late game
You will have **** tons of damage now, but wait, you are also squishy. You have to avoid enemy CC, so wait until they use it, but not too long so they dont kill your team and then cc you anyway. It is kinda hard, so good luck.
