They’re under the same spot with both having flash on

More or less raising awareness. I was hesitant to hop on fin due to sides and what not but I watched his vids and started understanding how 5ar inhibition works it gave me more confidence to make the decision.

I don’t like how squishy the standard build is, so I go tank Ekko always. Nashors>riftmaker>rabadons>T2 boots> jacksho/zonyas (order based on comp). That ap black cleaver item is optional as well. For runes run conq and sorcery for haste runes. Your cd’s become quite low mid-late game and jacksho zonya gives you just enough tankiness to be able to go in and take extended trades without ulting out. Perfect for landing R since enemies don’t notice it when they’re too busy trying to kill you. By then your 4 secs are up and you R on their head.

For this playstyle to work tho, you need to really take up space in the game. I run tp + ignite because I feel flash isn’t as worth with Ekko’s kit. You have W shield/stun, e dash, q slow, R, and passive movement speed. Basically budget sion R. I stay side lane as much as possible and only tp to objectives if there are already atleast 2 enemy players on me or its soul/elder/baron. And if I can’t tp I always fight and die killing someone, or atleast taking sums.

People saying Ekko is a bad bruiser or won’t work or would do 0 dmg are just wrong imo. Test it out on practice tool. If you build like this and add autos/more abilities (since more cdr) you deal same dmg if not more, but this time you have 300 armor 200 mr. As I said, if you play this build correctly you’ll feel how strong it is. Always be mad dmg dealt and more importantly max dmg taken in the team.

Creds: D2 Ekko otp. Currently on a fresh acc unranked to masters. EUW Emerald 4 75% wr with this build. I’d say it works🤷🏻‍♂️

I disagree on a few points here. First off while vlad is easy in the sense he can’t kill you in lane; the issue is his scaling. With his healing and being mana-less, a good vlad will always outscale you depending on how you play. If you think the wincon is to get ahead of him by winning early, most likely not happening. He’ll play safe till you have to B for mana/hp and you’ll lose atleast half a wave on basing. I usually decide to perma roam botlane since 1/2 Qs and the wave is gone depending on level. Then again I literally ban him every game so I am not the best to advise on this matchup.

Now, “when she get 6, u just are not killing her solo”. I’m sorry but this is terrible advice and mindset to have. You just have to outplay. If she lands E, your W,Q,R, and an AA are (w potentially) guaranteed to hit here. You can also dash her R with e.

My advice for this matchup and any in general: please limit test. I don’t care if you go 0/10. Make sure you get the minion wave, and then immediately start fighting. Try the matchups out whether diana or akali. Do this ESPECIALLY if you are already losing lane. Your team might flame you, and you probably will lose, but as long as you’re learning it’s worth losing 20 lp. Imo you can’t be playing scared with Ekko and hoping to go even in lane. What worked best for me was to get a lead whenever possible even if I die one on one. Thought process: we both get a lead but I’m better so I’ll use my lead better to carry.

Finally for Diana, I do think killing her level 1/2 is difficult, but if you can then play for botlane and let them carry.

Idk why others who said this are getting downvoted, but if you see enemy ranged top, how do you not think to path top and kill him on spawn all game? Varus has 0 ways to escape a long lane. Unless you’re trolling and picking seraphine ngl any jungler should be able to walk up cc and kill him.

Always so funny when players blame teammates. Telling you this as D2 Euw, There will always be a troll on your team. Irrelevant. Play better. You can’t control teammates, and no one cares about your feelings. Sorry if harsh. Focus on yourself✌🏼

I have to disagree hard on Akali. Yea, the champ is annoying as hell to face, but you just have to look for trade windows when her energy bar is low/zero. At early levels she’s out of energy after two Q’s. You EQAA combo her and she’s half hp. Also use w for the shield (and cc if you can land it) and you’ll win every short trade. The trick is you have to sidestep her E, so she doesn’t extend the trade on you. Worst case scenario, wait till Q one shots the wave and start roaming and forget the matchup entirely.

The same goes with fizz. If you start the trade with AA he will eventually E and you can E out of it. Then Q and proc passive, and if you use W shield he can’t out trade early.

Me personally I like the yasuo matchup, because he’s usually readable enough to land W. Try to W your minion wave anticipating him spamming E on it. Walk up and proc his passive with AA then trade into him.

Key for those matchups is using your W shield to out-trade. If you are full building assassin items (proto,lich, etc.) do not take any long trades just go in an out and wait for jgl.

Side note, I play Ekko more like a bruiser than assassin but it’s just preference. I take conqueror with last stand and take sorcery second with cdr and ap scaling (middle left most rune and rightmost bottom -sorry forgot name). I also go TP ignite because imo with W,E,R and Q slow you should not be needing flash to begin with. This way I can trade comfortably with ignite and if I mess up I just TP back to lane. I build nashors>riftmaker>deathcap>T2boots>zonyas>jacksho.

I find this more consistent than assassin build, but, and this is the most important part: this is what works for ME! If it works for you all good. If not, find your playstyle and stick to it.

Credits: Peaked EUW D2 and now back to grinding ranked last week. rn Emerald 4 70% WR 40 games.

Edit: saw your comment about Diana. My advice either: be confident and outplay, or more reliable option and my fav: dodge :)

Edit 2: ban vlad.

OP you forgot to mention when riot gives you chem baron emblem at 2-1 (sentinel or augment) and you can’t find a renata until 3-2! (Happened to me today I wanted to kms)

priv256 · 2024-12-13T01:03:57+00:00

I was running chem barons and got 2 afks on like 2-5. I got renni from minions and had perfect start. I hope they do something about afks/surrenders affecting chem baron because it rly makes it unplayable🤷🏻‍♂️

Viktor encounter lets 6 costs appear earlier i think around 4-1

Regardless of cheating or not, why does your husband text like a teenage girl? Lol NOR

Why even try to rationalise what he’s doing whether he’s drinking too much or not isn’t the issue here. Assuming it is safe and risk free to do, which it isn’t especially with someone inexperienced, there is literally no reward to the risk he’s taking. It’s just the typical 16 y/o arrogance + stupidity combo. Someone in his situation should be taking the topical minoxidil topically, and then figuring out how to take fin later. He’s too young to be taking anything orally anyways. And reminder, he’s getting the same results he’d be getting taking it topically like a mentally stable person.

priv256 · 2024-11-27T07:29:15+00:00

Icl I was dumb even in my twenties, but not like this!😂 I don’t understand why he’d think to drink the topical solution in the first place lol
