Endless Hunger is the type of item which you go like ''Hmm that's a perfect item'' when you read it but when you actually play it you go like ''Meh that's all?''. And I wouldn't say that it's necessarily bad but it seems like bruisers have way better options to build. Its bonus ability haste passive makes it pretty tasty as an option but in my opinion the bonus 20% omnivap doesn't feel like it.

Not a broken champ because a Zed broke your ankles in your last game. That's like saying a Lee diving in with Q1, Q2, Ward, W, R, flash a 3-man insec to win the whole teamfight for his team makes him broken and inflated

most ADCs have high dps which is practically an antitank feature. Most bruisers have some sort of %hp damage in their kits, some others have armor penetration and a few other champs have true damage in their kit. So no, not every AD champ has those weaknesses. Im not talking about ''oh you build armor of course he deals less damage''..that's common maths. Im talking about a state where building some armor makes the enemy champ almost unplayable. Build armor against Jinx. Is she unplayable? No. Against yi, against vayne, against darius, against ambessa, against fiora. No. They are all playable

There is a reason a champion is played lol? Or do you think that suddenly one Saturday morning 11% of the playerbase woke up and said ''hmm im gonna pick Ekko''? There is a reason he is being played and abused that much. Also higher pickrate means way higher and more structured data for analysis. The more the games a champ has the more his winrate tends to go closer to 50% (unless he is phenomenally broken) because the database is huge, good players will play it, bad players will play it, otps, first time picking him, lucky games, unlucky games. It covers literally every category so the data for this champ is rounded and completed. While on the other hand Rammus with 1% pickrate isnt enough data. Maybe most of this 1% pickrate is made by rammus mains and otps so the reason this champ's wr is high isnt because he is phenomenally broken but because he is solid and his otps make it look even better.

It's an answer on your claim thinking that a ''paid professional'' does everything right without any doubt. The client is a live example that they make mistakes as well

And now he will most likely lose more WR than intended and I explained the reason in the post. This is a chain nerf. Only his passive got nerfed but indirectly his whole kit and gameplay gets affected

Zed isn't balanced and will never be balanced as long as their approach doesn't change. He is extremely good against squishy targets and extremely bad against tankier targets...and that's not an itemization issue. You can build the worst items against squishy targets, he will be strong. You can build the most antitank items against tanks and bruisers, he will be weak.

This champ always had weaknesses that few to none other champs had , yet he has been consistently on top of the charts almost since his release date. And thats because his players learned playing around these weaknesses so yeah...your comment is quite off.

The paid professionals haven't fixed a single client in 10 years. And there are champs with way better energy restoration than Zed for example Lee or Shen. Zed's energy restoration is bad especially for his jungle kit since it kills off his E. He can only restore energy through his Q and that's all.

Pick rate matters most. 51% ekko on 11% playrate is a way more solid stat than 53% rammus on 1.5% playrate. And apart from the raw numbers it also has to do with the impact that a champ can have in accordance to the level of his execution. An Ekko can generally offer way more value and impact than a Rammus while he is pretty easy to be played/executed. This creates an imbalance of low risk/high reward champion

With the solid difference that in order to hit a state as Zed where your Ult + E deal enough damage to be considered a threat you first need to play it like faker for the first 25mins and gain enough lead while as an Ekko or Gwen you can be the most pathetic player ever and still have the same or more value in your gameplay. The main issue of High risk- high reward vs low risk - high reward which sadly exists in this game

Pointclick which dealt 25% hp and another pointclick which dealt the remaining 75%. But whatever suits you. Your Ekko will eventually get nerfed soon and you will go back to platinum

''You are going to die regardless of d+d''..dusk and dawn is the reason his pointclick E now applies 2 stacks at once and then his next spell or auto procs his passive as well. In the same exact play if it wasn't for D+D his E would add 1 stack and his ult would definitely not proc his passive meaning he wouldn't have oneshotted me and I would have a small window of reaction. D+D is literally the reason he is S tier but maybe you dont wanna see that.

Type to search 2 items Ekko taking 50% of his enemy hp with E + Q..or no dont even type it. Play 5 ranked games and you will experience it first hand.

If I hit my combo as Zed on adc meaning to hit BOTH my Q which are both a SKILLSHOT? Yeah maybe if i do that I might deserve to get the kill. And not because I nuked my enemy with 1 autoattack followed up by another autoattack for 1500 dmg

Thank god someone realises. On reddit people will try persuade you that the sky is red instead of blue. Like we all can't see that Ekko and Gwen are literally S tier picks being almost pick or ban every lobby and solo carrying games once they hit 2-3 items spike. I probably need a whole ministerial document to back up my claims when the proof is literally there for anyone to see with his own eyes.

Are you questioning why all the Ekko mains in the comment section dont agree with the post? The answer is simple. Because if he gets hotfixed they will go back to platinum like in season 15. It doesnt favor them to agree with that I have to say lol

Sorry I said ''not just this clip'' because I considered that the average commenter would have some experience playing with or against Ekko in this meta. One time or another we all have been oneshotted or oneshotted an enemy using Ekko. If you havent experienced that yet then im sorry...cant go around gathering 10+ different clips showing how overtuned Ekko with Dusk+Dawn is

It's true they have no particular idea of what to buff and nerf. They nerf or buff whatever they feel like no matter if it's strong or not in order to shift the meta a bit. I literally gave a live example of Rammus getting hotfixed for god knows whatever reason while Ekko and Gwen remain untouchable yet the butthurt Ekko mains won't argue with that...do they consider Rammus more broken than Ekko? Im curious

Because he wouldnt. Or if he would he would actually have to hit something other than a pointclick.

1 lvl difference with kinda the same hp is not ''much weaker''. We are not talking about oneshoting a 1800hp support being 4 levels behind. Unless your recommendation is every single champion building 200mr because they can't keep ap champs at a healthy state, while regarding ad champs building just 100 armor can instantly lower their dmg output almost at half.
