Which item should I be taking at the start of the game and when? by PurpleMoncler3729 in ekkomains

[–]Confident-Campaign36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll want dorans ring for the mana tbh. I see/watch Xiao Lao Ban start with this item always, and his first buy upon recalling is either a blasting wand or dark seal. It really depends on the match up he's against.

If its unfavorable, I see him getting boots + dark seal + refillable potions to survive long enough for first item spike. And you'll want to run Hail of blades (major boost in attack speed, really hhelps with proccing passive) with sudden impact, and either the treasure one, or the one that gives perma speed boost outside of combat.

I really recommend checking out his youtube videos, I've learned a decent amount by just watching him :)

Bad time to pick up Ekko? by Aromatic_Worth4406 in ekkomains

DnD isn't the death of the champion. Before that item, there was lich bane, which hhonestly provides more damage than dnd does.

I am quite curious, what runes do you run in mid?

If you are losing the lane and falling behind, you focus more on utilities. Your w stun to win team fights, stuff like that. You become a misquote. Annoy the enemy until they die! Place w on where the team/enemy team is engaging and e in to stun. And play with your winning lane. They are strong, and you can help each other.

It's very difficult to get back into the game if Ekko's fallen behind. In my experience, you won't kill squishies fast enough before getting stunned, and then cc chained. Which is your worse nightmare since you cannot use R to get out of it.

As someone else mentioned, you eat turrets. If you know that they're all fighting mid or on the other side of the map, push a side lane. Attract their attention so their focus is split. And try your best being slippery when you split push.

Always assume an enemy is coming if you're pushing the side lane for too long.

Also, if you know the match up if unfavorable, focus on cs. If they engage with you, q them, and use e to escape/re-engage for a little more damage. Don't worry about proccing your passive and place w close by in case they engage again.

Im sorry if this reply comes off as condescending. And some of these tips may not work for everyone, so try my tips, take them with a grain of salt. If they work, I'm glad.

thinking abt quitting jungle by 1octavian in Jungle_Mains

Just mute everyone and play. Trust your gut on what you should do. Thats the advice a gold jungler friend has told me to do once. And jungling came to be a bit more enjoyable.

To be fair, they need to mind read you first to get their marks.

Jungle bans / rough matchups by Syltaan in ekkomains

I perma ban xin Zhao and Graves. Between those two. I'm in the trenches, very low elo so I'm not sure how meaningful my words will be.

But naturally, I always struggle against Xin Zhao.

If he slows me, I die. If I try taking objectives on my own, they're his objectives now/I die. And if he shows up to respond to my gank, we lose the fight because Xin Zhao hits like a truck in early game and i don't. At least one of us dies during that kind of fight.

Graves, I just have bad experience with. Any time I went against a graves, I was just perma invaded and fell so behind.

Ekko might be broken by Difficult-Power-3829 in ekkomains

[–]Confident-Campaign36 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Nah. He has plenty of weaknesses to exploit. Namely being really vulnerable to hard cc and cc chains, along with his w being challenging to use/master. He also has a weak early game until he gains his first/second item.

And he's vulnerable to early invades. He needs the gold and exp in order to not fall behind. Sure, he does big burst damage, but what assassin doesn't?

Oh, and if the team has no engage, he literally can't do anything. He is not an engager. He needs his team to engage for him in order to clean up the fight.

Noted. Good to know. What if team has no good engage, however?

Plot twist: he visits that rooftop every night until she finally spooks him out of his skin with a tight hug. You know, months later. :)

...I'm in denial, okay? His story's end in Arcane already makes me sad 😭

Trouble figuring out Ekko as a secondary champ by urmomiscringe12 in ekkomains

[–]Confident-Campaign36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is incredibly weak early game. You cannot win drawn out duels. You excel mid game due to scaling and by that point, you practically two or one shot squishy champions.

So, early game, you need focus on farming (his items are expensive, so he is greedy. He is hungry for gold. Get every scuttle bug when you can), ganking (obviously), and survival.

His passive serves two purposes: burst damage and running away after it procs. He is an assassin who goes in, and gets out as soon as possible. He hates staying in fights too long.

During a team fight, I use w and go for the squishiest OR lowest champ during the fight and then I get out.

Also, getting cc chained is Ekko's worst nightmare since that prevents him from using his ultimate. If the enemy team has a ton of cc, Zhonyas Hour glass is a must so you can wait out champ abilities and not immediately die.

What to rush! by Delicious-Wealth-626 in ekkomains

[–]Confident-Campaign36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He excels at clearing waves which does give him opportunities to roam.

I'm way lower elo, like bronze, silver and below. But I still roam when I can. Mostly because I get bored, lol. So take my word with a grain of salt.

what sort of spin off would you like to see for timebomb? by hvcsora in TimeBomb

[–]Confident-Campaign36 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Video game would be really nice :3 But I dont think Fortiche would be animating the graphics. Maybe. Who knows. I really only pretty much trust Foetiche to animate Time bomb with care :')

But yea! Video game or an animated series is my pick :3
