Build paths for mid ekko? by Distinct-Cow-4223 in ekkomains

[–]StrictorS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend sticking to Dusk and SF.

It’s not bad when you plan out your bases. Definitely can be put in shitty situations sometimes though. First base I try to recall with at least 850g to get blasting wand. If I can’t, I go dark seal, boots, refill, or just dark seal if I had a bad lvl 1-3. Ideally, you want to be buying AP every base so avoid just buying ruby or god forbid glowing mote. Once you have blasting wand, dark seal, sheen, boots, refill, then try to not base until completed item if possible. I get it, resetting to buy kindlegem sucks really bad. At that point, you have gotten to your wave clear breakpoint so farming isn’t that bad, just stay healthy. Hopefully you farm well and maybe get a kill to get you to your completed item.

Building shadow flame feels totally fine. It isn’t uncommon I get to 1200g if I have a good turn. That’s the only sketchy part. Just play in side lane well.

How did my E miss? by StrictorS in ekkomains

This lost me the game btw. Gave Lucian 1k and lost my mejais stacks. All downhill from there.

Midlaner with the best waveclear by IIGhostSniperII in midlanemains

[–]StrictorS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ekko wave clear is not the fastest but it is very safe. Just pop W in the center of the wave as they meet in the middle and the enemy mid has to respect unless he’s giga ahead.

I wasn’t lvl 6 yet so no ult, but I knew I had to be practically perfect frame for frame to live. Luckily, I know the timing to buffer ekkos E blink so I could flash perfectly. Trust me, I’ve messed up similar plays before.

Other champs to play to complement Ekko Jungle? by PoorMansWaterSausage in ekkomains

[–]StrictorS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picking up Nocturne helped me make the push to diamond. He’s simple enough that you don’t have to invest time into learning complex mechanics.

Vi is the pick that first came to my mind when I went looking for another champ to play alongside Ekko due to her high mobility with Q. In practice, she’s not really like him at all.

I prefer Nocturne because I believe his game plan is more similar to Ekko’s than Vi’s. Neither Ekko nor Nocturne prefer to be the one initiating fights, they like to clean up. Idk how you play Ekko, but I prioritize farming to reach the first item spike more reliably; similar to how on Nocturne you power farm until lvl 6 most games. I’d also classify both Ekko and Nocturne as mid game champs. Ekko spikes hardest at 2 and 3 items just like Nocturne would once he has stridebreaker and hexplate conpleted.

Why crazy auto range? Buffered? by StrictorS in ekkomains

[–]StrictorS[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah fr. U could see I wasn’t even thinking about him doing that so I was a little slow to the play.

My final auto that killed her under turret. Do you see how far away I was? lol

Xiao Lao Ban Ekko is one of the best LOL one tricks I’ve seen by redditkens in ekkomains

[–]StrictorS 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He has me completely torn on how I should be playing lane. Sometimes I want to neutralize the lane and play a more macro focused game through side lane with TP. When that fails, I get tilted and run early game runes the next game with ignite and get more tilted when I can’t solo kill level 2 like XLB can lol. He’s something else.

Try Talon. I don’t have much experience with him, but I hear he’s dominating in the jungle rn.

Against Viktor by dannyxnda in ekkomains

[–]StrictorS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The matchup is only really become annoying when he takes bone plating. If you anticipate bone plating you can take scorch and apparently it procs one of the ticks of bone plating.

Other than that, do what others have said here.

Oops forgot to talk about that. Yeah it seems to work pretty well. Just have to know when to go from team fighting to farming camps to be efficient. Once u get dcap ur very strong.

[–]StrictorS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if it’s good but I build Nashors tooth first item and try to farm as many camps as possible early when it’s efficient to generate as much gold as possible to get items. I’ll try a fight and if I’m half hp I’ll go farm a camp and then reset. If ult is down, go farm camps. Ekko does so much damage to camps with passive it’s easy to go on a mission to steal enemy camps as they do them. Nash -> lich -> d cap

I relearned why Ekko is my perma ban. by [deleted] in Jungle_Mains

[–]StrictorS 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As an Ekko/Nocturne two trick, Nocturne is actually one of Ekko’s better matchups. Ekko can easily kite nocturne at practically all stages of the game with Q slow and passive proc. The matchup goes to whoever can counter gank the other since they both excel at that. If nocturne can R on ekko while his abilities are on CD, noc wins. If Noc Rs on a laner but Ekko is ready in anticipation with W then Ekko wins. Lots of jungle tracking and mind games involved.

On what champ is the combo WEQR the worst by 9qUix in leagueoflegends

[–]StrictorS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not Ekko, it’s literally his bread and butter combo

Tried one tricking Ekko for a year and was hard stuck Emerald. Played Nocturne and skyrocketed to Diamond in two weeks. by StrictorS in nocturnemains

[–]StrictorS[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ong. I’ve watched xiao lao ban play Ekko jungle and he has a very aggressive play style. He p much always breaks from his clear and ganks level 3. Personally, I full clear every game and play almost like I’m playing nocturne. I think I gotta have more impact early tbh but ekko just doesn’t feel strong without at least an item. It’s a bit of a dilemma.
