Tips Against Ekko in the Jungle Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
77th.MysteryHeart says “he is better at ganking than you but you can speed clear jungle so focus farm and counter ganks”
Fyrrnix says “Don't let his Q or W hit you, that way he can't proc his passive nor stun you with his W.
Do your best to proc his R before he forces you to proc yours”
Reprobatus says “He farms slow early, requires snowballing to get going. Focus JG fundamentals and don't let him pop off. You can e him while he is trying to (E) [[phase dive]] into his (W) [[Parallel Convergence]] to stop him from hitting the [[crowd control]] or at the very least you [[crowd control]] each other and its a wash. He is usually fairly low during his first clear and it's possible for and early invade.”
goose.mp4 says “Not as threatening as Diana but much harder to kill. You usually will not be able to kill him but you can get him low enough where he can't really do anything. You should prioritize counter-ganking him rather than fighting him directly since he's just as mobile as you. Beware his [[parallel convergence]] & [[chronobreak]] on objectives, it's no joke and a very large threat!”
SelfLOL says “Root when low so he cant R. Serpents can be good. Can buy zhonya's zzz. Can oneshot with e root most of the time. Can invade early. Watch r clone and see where he can r to. can be strong with lead. ”
friendlyfarmer123 says “Can steal your objectives with E/passive + smite and get out for free. Can also do unexpected large amounts of damage to you. A bit annoying but you out scale him hard.”
Jackiewawa says “I don't see Ekko much anymore but he's only hard if he snowballs and can one shot you with his AP burst. You outscale him, you can space your W to avoid getting stunned by his and use E to dodge his Q. Be careful flipping objectives against him as he does insane burst with his Q + E combo.”
DoxxTheLeague says “similar to rengar he can completely counter you with his r but at least its r for r what makes him scary is his passive giving him insane movespeed and making him able to have similar movespeed to you”
Kuro_Usagi says “Lots of %MaxHP damage and quite slippery. If he doesn't have ult you'll be fine IF you counter his W's 3-rd damage with your W. If you have the Item advantage you should be fine in a fresh 1v1.”
ScytherKhaZix says “the basic thing is not to get stunned, if you don't get into his stun you will probably win most of the fights, especially when it comes to early game
”
Nyxxx says “He hurts quite a bit and is a damn hard champ to kill due to his R. Try not to use your R till he uses his. You can solo kill him most of the time.”
orka4.sandraj says “His CC can be easily countered by your E, but he can dodge your Q with his E (many ekkos build hextech rocket belt for extra mobility). Dont R him if he has his R available, because he can use it to get out of yours. It may be easier to just Q + W him from afar if your team is nearby to help you secure the kill.”
Neekster says “This champion clears the same time as you. You would probably want to look for kill opportunities in the early game. Be wary of his [R] ability, Use your [E] first before casting your [R] to ensure his catch. You are dead set once he is far ahead or able to one shot you and other carries.”
Yomu says “You body him a ton, you can E important parts of his combo and heal up from his burst BUT if he ignores you and goes for your team, not much you can do but prayge”
DarkMareOfficial says “Careful how you Q. Had plenty of times where this kid just teleported himself through my Q not taking stun due to how his E works.”
Maciejson says “When facing this champion, you typically win fights but may not secure kills as he can escape with his passive. Focus on farming faster to reach level 6 as soon as possible. Be cautious when ulting, as you will follow him if he ults; however, you should still be able to beat him. As Rhaast, you can knock him up if he tries to dash onto you and win 1v1s as long as you dodge his W stun. With Maw of Malmortius, it's a guaranteed kill unless he's fed. In a Shadow Assassin (SA) matchup, it's an assassin vs. assassin scenario where the one who gets the jump first will secure the kill.”
huncho1v9 says “Medium matchup. Ekko has a window to invade you level 3, though it isn’t that strong, he might flip it and ruin your game. Ekko relies on snowballing heavily, so if he doesn’t get ahead you just win and outscale him. Use your W to either dodge his Q, or to tank his burst damage combo with the increases resistances.”
L0ganJG says “Ekko is a VERY TOUGH MATCHUP! But it's all about how skilled the Ekko is. He has very high passive damage when he hits multiple spells so try to E during his burst. It's very smart to use your Q to stop him for ultimating! But remember, if he uses his E (the dash and auto) you can predict it and use your E to put him into the wall. Try to minimize early game mistakes because he snow balls very HARD. ”
huncho1v9 says “- Relatively easy matchup. Ekko plays for 3 camp reset/full clear, as long as he doesn’t get ahead you can snowball easily. Phase rush is usually best in this matchup but it depends on enemy comp. Try to stop Ekko from snowballing and you win.
”
Mignognium says “Ekko est un problème à cause de son R, si il esquive le votre vous avez perdu. Tenter de toucher votre combo de base ; [E] > [Z] > auto [AA] > [A/Q] > auto [AA], il devrais prendre peur et ult puis tuer le avec le votre. Quand vous le posséder avec votre passif, lancer directement son [Z] sinon vous aurez pas le temps de profiter de ces facultés pleinement. Attention au Zoniah après avoir forcer son R !”
xTechikaze says “Extremely strong right now with stormsurge. Between him and lillia right now i would ban either. He is hard to hold down or kill with his R and chasing him is a waste of time since he slows you and dashes away anyway. do your best to avoid his q as that is a huge reason people get bursted so fast against him. Your W will help with that.”
Fessor ivern twitch says “ENG:
EKKO YOU MUST BE CAREFUL WITH HIM, HE MOVES VERY FAST AROUND THE MAP, AND CAN EASILY JUMP ON YOU AND FINISH YOU.
______________________________________________________
PT:
EKKO VOCÊ DEVE TOMAR CUIDADO COM ELE, ELE SE MOVIMENTA MUITO RÁPIDO PELO MAPA, E PODE FACILMENTE PULAR EM VOCÊ E TE FINALIZAR.”
X3mHills says “Don't be afraid to utter in an incomprehensible situation, perhaps this will save you from Ekko's W. Never fight in an enclosed space, try to keep E-R combos to avoid important Ekko skills.”
Mabujo says “Rito's attempt at representing the hood.
Very high damage, a stun (interupts) and focused damage with a slow.
Fear and run or trade at your own peril.”
astral 1v9 says “insanely cancer, u cant reset R against this champ hes too fast, has a get out of jail free card, hard to invade since he can W and has mobility. ”
HawkSP says “Ivern can neutralize Ekko’s assassination attempts with timely shielding. Keep track of his ultimate to ensure your team can secure kills without him turning the fight around.”
Jhingle says “He is okay,mb even easy in early, in mid game you should give him all cc u have if u wanna one shot him.In late game ur a better teamfighter,1 v 1 u will kill him only if u land ur ult from no vision.Oh, he can one shot u with 3-4 slots.”
X3mHills says “His passive provides him with movement speed, so play the game cautiously and avoid getting caught without the use of your W and R abilities. He is a challenging opponent, and even with good playing skills, it can be difficult to win against him. Consider buying items like Force of Nature, Zhonya's Hourglass, or Banshee's Veil to help you in this matchup.”
oneshotudyr says “You waste your Q2 for him to waste his ult. Skill matchup, but he can out run you and stun you if he's better. If you're better, you'll save your E2 to dodge his stun and catch him, or use your Q2 to kill him before he can ult.”
Tortizzy says “I don't think you'll have much problems against Ekko unless you do a mistake, his only way to kill you is if he lands his stun, so just avoid that.”
kcjackal__ says “Will 1 tap your entire team then rewind back to full hp. Need to end games fast when playing vs ekko as not even nunu can outsmite him later in the game.”
jajkopajko says “Similar to diana, pre 6 you win, after 6 he will run you down. Be careful with turret dives, his ult gives him easy escape so dont stay low under turret for too long if you really dont have to.”
Kazuo Murasaki says “Treat him like Eve you constantly invade him pre 6 and you will have no issues. later in game make sure you respect his w and if you can, just take him out of the fight all together.”
garbocan says “Doesn't have the CC or damage to deal with Daisy, so he never wins 1v1 against Ivern post 6 unless very ahead.
Ekko is also an AP assassin, meaning that he can't buy serpents. This makes him very easy to neutralize with shields.”
Clasher2124 says “He has very good damage. If he is ahead he can even burst you through your E. He can always nope out with his R, make sure to not follow it with Q and avoid being in his R in general. He can dodge your E fear with his R.”
OakIgu says “Different from AD assassins AP assassins are much easier to deal with Udyr, beware early invades on your first clear and you will be allright but like all assassins if he gets fed it will be very hard to deal with him. Same for Elise and Evelynn.”
Zasrana Hyenaa says “Ekko: Is kinda op lately.. If he is good he can carry almost any game
How to play vs: Dont get baited into his W.. dont overchase him.. and be aware of his passive in team fight so you dont get ulted into void”
SYROBE says “MORE SKILL MATCHUPS. As briar you MUST save your E to buffer Ekkos W stun. If you can do this you will likely win every fight beause your E cant be stopped by CC. He can burst Briar and is hard to kill with his ultimate up which makes this a skill matchup”
Zero macro says “Briar has a really hard time into Ekko, due to Ekko his melee output stats on W and R combined with Ekko his burst damage and %HP execute. —> Briar Berserking / R will lead her into Ekko W stun and Ekko R easily. Be aware of this!!!
Briar has a way stronger early game stat check than Ekko, which will fade away around Ekko R and Ekko first item / second item.
”
Coccaa says “Just don't walk into his bubble and you should be good to go. No matter what build you go you will always have a good amount of MR so this shouldn't be that hard of a matchup.”
MusicJG says “Only a threat if he snowballs.
He needs to level 3 gank and get a kill or he's useless.
Can level 1/2 invade him since he usually starts W.”
Clolas says “He is not to big of a threat. But when chasing down on him and he has R, don't use w, ghost than slow him with q, he will use r, and clean and smooth follow up with your w. Guaranteed kill. ”
EagleXs says “Mostly a skill matchup. Make sure if you do go in on him, that you use E to keep out of his W, and make sure Q2 lands, because it will heal you.”
Turnupthetoaster says “Ekko may be weak at first, but if he gets ahead or has time to scale he can become a major problem. Make to invade him as much as possible, and try to shut him down early while snagging a lead of your own.”
waterA says “You are better mid champion then him. Dodge his skills and follow his passive with phase rush. Be careful for W and Don't think he has no ult in level 6 he is just trying to bait you for late giving up for no shadow ult.”
Zero macro says “Ekko is one of the weaker early game junglers. Nidalee should take advantage of the early game into Ekko, invade and fore fights a lot, due to the easy statcheck. Thereby Nidalee becomes a strong assassin that can deal well with Ekko R. Be aware and pay respect of Ekko R and W placed in melee range.
”
Zero macro says “Zed should take advantage of Ekko's bad early, combined with pre 6 ability. Ekko has a better trade pattern into Zed, and he can rewind his R into Zed R. Ekko thereby can also force Zed to stand in his R. Be careful of Ekko E dragg with Zed teleportation. Getting (slightly)Behind forces Shred Zed to buy Maw of Malmortius.”
NegativePhoenix says “I don't see Ekko much of the time and when I do, not as a threat. If he misses his Q or he uses up his passive and does not enough damage he's pretty easy to deter away if you're smart enough with your damage. Later in the game he can one shot you if you went full AP, but as a Hybrid/Tank he has a right to be afraid of you seeing as how he can't do much to you if he isn't getting help”
metalhydra273 says “Ekko is a fast or famine kind of champ, but Skarner has ways to shut him down if he can get around the w zone. The idea behind fighting Ekko is to pick him off before he can ult back to safety. If you're ahead, you win 1v1. If you're behind, he's bursting you and running you down easily. Limit his burst, and focus him down in fights if feasible. Ekko is more likely to fish for objective steals than others thanks to his ult, so put pressure on objectives and focus on stopping him with your team.”
BigodeOfLegends says “Ekko é um caso a se tratar, o gank dele é muito mais forte e rápido do que da Rell, jogue no counter gank contra ele, fora isso é um campeão fácil de se lidar caso esteja fraco, um ekko forte é um problema para qualquer jungle e qualquer time.”
MrFerrot says “This guy scales hard. He is also very fast if he procs his 3-hit move speed bonus. Try to counter gank him and fight the 2v2s and 3v3s. Keep track of his ult at all times. Try to save sleep for after he uses it.”
Ezikko says “You win every 1v1 with him unless he outplays you with his W, watch if he uses W while youre on E cuz it might just be a free 2.25 second stun for him, if not theres not much he can do ”
shacolovesyou says “his pre6 is weak so invade him, he outscales you so destroy him in early, consider buying the collector to surprise him, fight him while his abilities are in cooldown”
Apari1010 says “Ekko isn't too much of an issue for Rhaast and if he becomes an issue you just build force of nature or spirit visage. Early on it's a very even matchup, probably Kayn's most even matchup. But once you get form I'd say it's Rhaast favoured.”
BradJr says “Skill matchup. Whoever is more fed will kill the other. He is slightly better early game and you are slightly better late game. (clone rating 8/10)”
ttvRegedice says “Ekko is weak early and only becomes a real threat if he gets fed. Outsmart him when you can and this guy is typically not a problem when it comes to carrying versus him. Play for root as he cant R when rooted and no matter what avoid his W. Sometimes you have to backup from his W and avoid fights or you can fight in and cleanse CC with empW but it's all relative to whether or not you have lethal dmg or if his team is nearby. Play smart and this guy shouldn't be a big problem. If he gets fed it's a matter of timing with your W to heal his entire dmg but buy mercs if he's turbo fed as he can straight 1 tap you from full hp. Quick tip: his damage is from his auto attacks, so steelcaps passive still blocks that damage despite it being AP.”
Borinn says “He is pretty weak early game but he outscales you hard. He is pretty hard to kill thanks to his r but you can catch up to him. Be careful of his w in team fights.
You can go either AD or tank.”
ShinyEmo says “Dodge his W with your Q or by walking. His Ult is annoying so play carefully. You can use Meditate if he has 2 passive stacks on you so you can reduce the damage significantly. Play very careful. ”
Intropingman says “If he is fed he kills you with his high ap damage, can catch you with his W aoe cc and escape with R + steal easily objectives, try to taunt him when he is low so he can't R in time and dies before using it.”
Zoose says “Only real chance to win this lane is hard poke and harass before he reaches lvl 6. If Ekko makes to lvl 6 safely, he has essentially won the lane. He can go for hard trades on you whenever his W is up, or choose to simply push the wave with his Q. Hard to kill him with his ult up.”
Majd1 says “This matchup is easy in the early game due to Ekko being a squishy champion dealing low amounts of damage and his limited mobility. If you can take advantage of this and dominate the early game, you have the potential to take over the game. Ekko only has his short range E for mobility, so take advantage of this by pathing into him and punishing him in his jungle or on scuttler crab. However, ifEkko is able to scale, he will be able to oneshot you and it will be easy to deal with him and shut him down because of his ultimate, so it is very important that you accumulate a lead in the early game against him.”
1Strike says “Not really an issue unless he snowballs. You take a maw if he's slightly strong and it should nullify him. However, if he is fed it is completely unplayable for you. But more often than not...the prince of zaun can't do much to el graves”
Narcissisticdude says “Ekko is frustrating to play against as his burst is so high, his passive grants him ridiculous move speed and past level 11 he can play incredibly aggressive and get away with his r, try to permanently punish his first and second clear so that he falls behind or you will get outscaled very quickly.
Mechanical Tips:
1. Ignite before his R, it will reduce his healing
2. Situationally you can choose to eat his E, then Q into your team to force him out of position
3. You can R all of his spells except E, and his R has a LONG wind-up so do not hesitate to stand on his ghost if you think you can bait him.”
Degryh says “Fácil de matar si lo revientas antes de level 6. no tengáis miedo de invadirle.
Recomendable jugar con items que te ayuden a agentar ataques potentes.
”
Dabgren says “Good early matchup, makes you feel happy about playing Lee Sin early, the best way possible to kill Ekko is Q1, put all your burst at once, R and Q2 so he can't ult In between. ”
checca says “Playing against Ekko as Zac can be one of the most difficult matchups. Not only do you have to time his W correctly, but his R makes it almost impossible to hit any CC, which leaves you vulnerable to his powerful one-shot potential. Furthermore, AP junglers in general are not favorable for Zac. When Ekko is building up his mandatory 10 Dark Seal stacks, it is best to switch to another lane and stay away from him. (and probably ff)”
basrty1p says “His skill is quite a lot of damage as he looks. Even if you try to cast E on him, he can just press R and leaves you.
So you should play around his R to makes him unplayable.”
Astalfo says “He can and WILL play with you like its all fun and games for him, try to bait his R, keep your volume up so you can hear the 'ding' when he activates his W, when you hear that, try to move in an unpredictable way as you don't know where he's placed the stun zone.”
lovicoaching says “Likely to lose vs this. Really unfun design, obnoxious gameplay. You can't really punish his early game so you hope he doesn't get going before you do. If you snowball first you can suppress him and it's fine. If he also snowballs he often 1 shots you faster than you 1 shot him.
Put him behind early or snowball first on level 6 and you free win.”
Davecraft16 says “One of the few champ who can kill you late game. You have a big advantage early, try to use him. You need to get ahead of him so he will be useless for the rest of the game. Try to countergank when possible and invade him every time you have prio.”
Heca diffs says “[12.23] You fist him early game, If he gets fed he'll kill you. He scales about as well as you do so you really don't want to fall behind.”
BeanybumBag says “You can beat him late game if you're ahead, but his ult makes it very difficult to 1v1 because he'll just get a 2nd health bar after you've exhausted all you got.”
Kukiziuu_ says “Avoid him when hes feed, but u with some fundamentals about the game u can easily outscale him. Build on 3rd-4th item serpent to deal more dmg to him. If you get ahead u easily win 1v1 with him. Do objectives. Remember u have a lot faster clear than him. Simple, hes a skill matchup. If you know your maximums u easly shoud win against him.”
Bhyure33 says “You beat him in 1v1's early, and you scale better. Try your best to be more fed than him, and if he gets fed, try to kill him as long as you aren't behind.”
Lasine says “Skill matchup. After 6 he becomes much difficult to kill due to obvious reasons. Try to invade him pre 6. If you can track him and you make an invade before 6 once you have serrated dirk it will be a free kill.”
another player says “Ekko, Diana, Amumu, Master Yi are all massive counter on Rat. They all have level 3 spike, huge gap closer and high burst dmg. Avoid them!!!”
RedNBlue says “Watch out for is early skirmishes, he won't be able to really beat you 1 v 1, but its a thing that Ekko will get help from personal experience. Try not to get stunned twice in his W as if that happens you have lost.
Don't let Ekko get fed, he will kill you fast, no matter how tanky you have built yourself, and he will be able to cream your teammates leaving you with no damage.
He is very mobile, remember that when you are choose to either feed him doing something stupid, or not. ”
MythicalMinute says “This matchup is more skillbased, if you can lead him into your boxes, he cant do anything but if you mess up or mistime anything, he will delete you. You want to invade him on his second buff.
AP is good here since he cant build good MR.”
spuki97 says “Invade him a lot before level 6 but make sure to dodge his W. If he gets a lot of health from his ult just run, don't be a hero. Best build: Regular Assassin/Chinese Strat”
Kao_Oak says “Not that much of a threat by himself in a 1v1, but you must use all of your resources if you want to 1v1 this guy, just to see this guy uses his R and resetting the fight, leaving you harmed and without CD. His ultimate counters your reset concept really hard.”
MaximusWillCarry says “Never had any problems with Ekko just build MR and its like a child trying to beat up an adult. the adult karate chops them with E and the child runs home crying with his R. Find him at his ult location and E him + W him again and he is toast. He can dodge your E with his E though so careful.”
Doubtfull says “Ekko is annoying but he shouldnt have the damage to kill you, and with your shields it will be difficult for him to assassinate anyone. Care not to get caught by his w.”
Eagzey says “Ekko mid is annoying, but I find this free in the jungle. He is so weak early game so we can pressure him for everything (especially if we have strong lanes). If you 1v1 try to hold R (and R combo/damage) until he R's.”
Rifu says “Try to invade he in early because if you don't snowball he ill scale you. If he build zhonya's try to bait the zhonya's and kill Ekko after he uses. In late game be careful in fogs, if he are fast and have Ultimate just don't try to kill him”
YuzukiJG says “Minor threat early game. The only champion that can snowball the entire game off of a good fight. There is no way you can beat him if he gets to 3/4 items. Keep your distance and make sure to not get stunned. Dodge his Q when he does his E Q combo and you should have time to escape or force his ults. I prefer going burst to one shot him when he goes in. Punish him early as much as you can and do not let him scale.”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “Ekkos main source of damage comes from his Passive. Avoid letting him stack his Passive by dodging his Timewinder(Q) and standing outside his Phase Dive(E) range. Ekko will look to set up a Parallel Convergence(W) stun by walking out of vision. Be cautious of this and wait a few seconds after he appears again before trading with him. Ekko will look to constantly push the wave with his Q. Punish him whenever he uses it for waveclear by engaging in trades.”
Yuki H. says “He is a hyper-scaling champion which inevitably means his early game is not that oppressive. He cannot one rotation you in the early-mid game and keep an eye out for his W. Preferably play to counter-gank as Ekko without W is nothing to you.”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “When invading Ekko, try to wait inside a bush for him to use his Parallel Convergence(W) and wait for it to expire, before going on to him. When his shield is down, he is much weaker and easier to kill. Try and place vision inside the river and around his jungle entrances. This will make it harder for him to gank successfully if you always know his approximate location. Having vision in lane bushes will also help prevent ganks as you can spot him setting up his W. Ekko doesn’t have the healthiest of clears even with his W.”
Saltu says “Only rush and kill him before lv6, then focus on farming or try killing him if and only if he has no ult remember that he can wait to level up his ult so he gets one instant activation right where he is so watch out at lv6, usually a good ban. you can normally escape unless he is very fed. Always dodge W stun with your high speed.
”
Hazardist says “Time your CC chain correctly to prevent the enemy Ekko from using his R and surviving your burst. He doesn't have the damage to deal with you at pretty much any point in the game if you build properly, so just protect your carries from him and he won't be able to achieve much in the game.”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “When invading Ekko, try to wait inside a bush for him to use his Parallel Convergence(W) and wait for it to expire, before going on to him.

This will make it harder for him to gank successfully if you always know his approximate location. Having vision in lane bushes will also help prevent ganks as you can spot him setting up his W. Ekko doesn’t have the healthiest of clears even with his W.”
lumihehe says “he sort of has a similar playstyle to you, where he just wants to farm and then win late. the turns table in this matchup, and you're gonna be the one bullying him early. (if you can do so without losing a cs or level lead, that is the most important thing here after all)
try to E out of his W before the stun comes down, and if you do that, then you typically beat him 1v1.”
Xelikari says “You beat him pretty good, just try to avoid his Q’s and look to trade any time he uses an ability on the wave. Be really careful of his W’s (the big circle) and try to mind game him. Like most matchups, Comet for lane or Electrocute for more skirmish/2v2/3v3 fights.
Start Doran’s Ring and Q generally, I would also build an Oblivion Orb or even go straight for Morello since most Ekko’s will just try to ult when they’re low and you’ll negate a lot of healing. Don’t get hit by a full combo, you win this lane pretty easy. ”
Salmon Kid says “Ekko is one of the few champs that can match Lillia's speed on the condition that he can proc passive. Besides that, his cc is almost impossible to lane on Lillia, but he does scale in a similar fashion.”
Lawiss1 says “De la même manière que Kayn, Ekko est très simple à jouer.
C'est en late game que Ekko deviens un cauchemar pour Evelynn.
Ekko va rundown Eve en permanence pour trade ult sauf que l'ultimate de Evelynn à un cd plus long et est beaucoup plus important que le cd de Ekko.”
LoLDragowski says “You can win vs an ekko but it is more of a skill matchup than anything. It depends on who gets more fed and snowballs the game better.”
Dojyaan says “You could kill him early but other than that you will probably go 1 for 1 later into the game assuming he doesn't have R. You lose instantly if he gets W on you.”
rhvse says “You dominate him before 6, after he get his ult, i don't recommend going all in into him. Buy magic resistance and get Maw of Malmortius. After that you can kill him, but if Ekko is good he can outplay you.”
Nik7857 says “If he snowballs out of controll this matchup is doomed. His early game is pretty weak and so you should have the upper advantage for a while.”
ItsAydam says “Minor threat early game. The only champion that can snowball the entire game off of a good fight. There is no way you can beat him if he gets to 3/4 items. Keep your distance and make sure to not get stunned. Dodge his Q when he does his E Q combo and you should have time to escape or force his ults. I prefer going burst to one shot him when he goes in. Punish him early as much as you can and do not let him scale.”
NegativePhoenix says “Skill based. He has a ton of burst power that can be scary if done right and if you're caught off guard. Early game it will vary on who's smarter and if you have your ult form up. If you don't have it yet, don't engage. Late game will be iffy on who has better reaction time. Bait out his ult by bursting him with your AD, and if he tries to fight again you'll win if you kept your E.”
resetwice says “His wave push is bad, you can start with Q and meleeQ him and do crit damage. His CC is not that hard but he has dashes. Don’t full combo his R.
BEST RUNES TO GO: ELECTROCUTE”
OfficerVi says “Not a horrible matchup. You should at least be able to burn his ult if not kill him. Be very careful about using R on him while his R is up. It will cancel the ult and put it on full cooldown.”
NegativePhoenix says “Early game matchup is his. If you can get him off guard and burst him before he ults you'll usually win since he's squishy. Just depends who can find who easier.”
Fappitchedd says “ekko can only get to you if you dont manage your own range against him, but his damage is really busted. just keep your distance and poke him down (would recomend the attack speed build against him)”
Sammystinky says “Fairly slippery. If he E's you may be able to E him, but he could just ult. If he is fed it is hard to stop him from killing carries, but otherwise not too bad. ”
duowithdeath says “For five season this was the go to high elo pick into Karthus with near Evelynn levels of no counter play. However, the Q buffs of 12.11 changed much and so he can no longer keep up with your clearspeed/tempo. If played correctly u can avoid him, just beware he can perma invade and live because of R, also scales insanely well too so do not allow him to get fed or stack his Dseal.”
Cpt. Maelstrom says “Not much threat in early game. W from bush can make your midlane's life into a nightmare. Unless you perfectly chain your CC, you cant burst him before he ult. As an assassin, he is a big late game threat for your carries”
IamFafa says “Not that strong, just make sure to take phase rush so you can catch him when he tries to run away after using his passive. Make sure to use R before he ults to kill him before he heals”
evil in says “Ekko is a 50/50 matchup thankfully he cannot invade you and your clear is much faster than his in teamfights u should try to charm him so he cannot fully commit in fights”
TimothyFly says “His ultimate is very annoying since u are trying to 1 shot people as quick as possible so try and chain cc him with ur team. He is pretty weak early just dodge his w and you should win every 1v1. Late game he does disgusting amounts of damage so just either one shot him with ur team or just try and kill the rest of his team.”
Majd1 says “Very weak in the earlier stages of the game. If you can bully himin the early game you should be able to snowball off of that and take over the game. Keep in mind that Ekko is very squishy and only has his E which is short range as mobility. Path into him and when he oversteps for scuttle you have a window to kill him or force his flash. However, if he gets items for free you will get oneshot all the time and he will be very hard to shutdown because of his ult, so make sure to be proactive and bully himin the early game.”
DarkMareOfficial says “As Wukong you should be able to use Decoy in your advantage to go in and out of Ekkos W and to dodge his abilities while dashing away or juking him while your CDs reset. Wukong is a stronger fighter so there should be no doubts that you should win any trades with him if played well. ”
Dannala says “LANE: Ekko is not a fun match up. When laning his highly mobile kit and decent AoE makes quick work of your spiderlings from a safe distance. His all in will destroy you and slow you so you can't escape even with Rappel. Even though he's Melee it's difficult to poke him when his spells aren't on Cooldown. JUNGLE: He has the upper hand in invades, if he misses his Q you can retaliate somewhat. Keep your jungle warded as he can jump most walls to gank you mid clear, if caught you will not be able to handle him very well on your own. LATE: The same but harder, faster and way more frequent.”
TheKingUltra says “Same as fizz, he will play only aggressive in the few first level and everytime he has ult up, as soon as his ult is down, you can try to catch him or relay and farm, while he just watches. ”
ioprocessing says “As with most assassin junglers, he will not be able to kill you pretty much ever if you build enough tank stats. Your CC means that you can lock him down in a fight, especially if you can prevent him from ulting. Skarner beats most assassin junglers through merit of CC and tankiness, but some of them can still make plays that you have to be cautious of (Diana R, Qiyana R)”
YoungTact says “Can W the first part of his E but he can still outplay you with his W, 2nd part of his E, passive movement speed and ultimate. You clear faster, healthier and have better early game ganks so just be wary of the mid game skirmishes where he has more room to deal with you. ”
Exiled Heretic says “Most ekko's don't know Diana's damage so you can easily win fights against him before he ults if you get your 3rd auto up before you burst him. never all in him when he has full health he will ult away last second and you will have nothing left. The only exception would be if you are really fed and just want to scare him off. But do not waste your second dash, as it has a high cool down.”
Xyllow says “It is really hard for warwick to punish ekko, since he can just instantly ult after your ult, and then be more useful than you afterwards. Pray he doesn't snowball more than you, and care his potential to catch you in the jungle with his laners early. ”
Asternova says “RUNES: Dark Harvest. Phase Rush if his team is annoying.
ITEMS: Banshee's Veil if you're against a lot of AP. Mercury's Treads if his team is full of AP or CC. Morellonomicon if his team has a lot of healing.
GAMEPLAY SUMMARY: Not a lot of champions have the same advantage that Ekko has of being EXTREMELY hard to catch or get away from, he has slows, a dash, a blink, and a movement speed burst, while also having high damage and a free second life. Your best bet of dealing with him is to never get caught by his stun and dodging his second Q. His main and only weakness is CC, so your ultimate is a strong tool against him, even if he ults before the sleep hits, he will still be asleep when he arrives, take advantage of that.”
Hienaa says “All easy for being melee champs, not on tier 2 because they can all build seekers, and viego is just broken so it’s a little tricky to play vs him sometimes.”
Ducati says “I would say it's a skill match up, but it's more like a who gets more fed match up. But since Ekko is a better ganker than Malphite, I would say this is a tough but winnable match up.”
uglyama says “Assassins generally fuck you up, but I find Ekko more predictable. You should combo on top on the personn he's about to dash on, or right where he ults.”
Janooobi says “Difficult to lock down because of his movement speed and his R, you will have to make in game decisions on whether or not you should throw all your CC on him before he presses R or save it for after he presses R”
BreadedBreadCrum says “Ekko is a big threat for Ivern, as his burst and shielding can match Ivern's shielding health and damage. He is also incredible at going in and out, in and out, etc. However, hitting your root and shield means he has a tougher time escaping. Otherwise, he becomes incredibly good against Ivern. I'd reccomend punishing his E engage, rather than using Daisy! to engage on him. He can and will smite + Q Daisy and she will die. Go Aery Domination. For AP, go CotSQ or Everfrost. For Support, go Shurelya's to counter specifically Ekko.”
Zen1tsUchiha says “Hard match-up since he can shield himself and stun you at the same time which gives you a big disadvantage in pre 6 duels. Even after level 6, he will shred your hp with ult so try to dodge it.”
FacetLOL says “Try to kill him at his 2nd, buff after he has used his W and you're done triple camping and ganking. Around 2:45-50~
Can be really hard to kill later in the game, collector can be useful to surprise him.”
Scythe Prince says “Early game you win fights Your clear is faster than his, During mid game you still out-duel him. If he uses his ultimate while you are inside of him you will follow. During the late game Ekko outscales both kayn's forms Try to close out the game before he gets four items.”
Zehmox says “if you lock him down in a Prowler's claw Q bite combo. he always has the time to ult back. combined with his shield + ult makes him pretty safe into you. try to knock him up for your team in teamfights and burst him down so he can't reset with ult/zhonyas.”
blulemon says “Hard to keep tempo with Ekko because he has a strong early game presence while you only come online at lvl 6. Try to track him or counter gank him to negate his early advantage, otherwise he isn't particularly strong against you.”
maydaysLoL says “Ekko has very high mobility and move speed, however, if you can blind before they E you, you can win if you don't get stunned by his W. Losing matchup if you forget these key things.”
MrMeem45 says “He's like if Nunu were an AP assassin. You can beat him early and that's it. His W will turn around any gank if he shows up after you do, and killing him is near impossible with his ultimate. He can also duel you if he takes nashor's, which feels weird but happens sometimes. ”
b0n0 says “A good Ekko is hard to deal with. Generally you will outduel/damage one, but if he gets in your face and invades you and applies a lot of pressure it can be tough. A good ekko is towards major threat but if they are norms then the matchup is skill based IMO or even slightly leaning towards Vi. ”
Elekktro says “Ekko is a pure carry champion and needs to always be considered a threat, however Viego can usually always 1v1 Ekko and has plenty of windows to shut Ekko down. Viego can also very easily itemize against Ekko to win.”
Polartech says “Kayle can't kill Ekko, but even him can't easily kill you if you play safe, dodge his Q and never engage him harsly, he can go back in time regaining his life. Just farm and wait for Team Fights.”
sonminh says “Early game you can beat him as long as you don't get stunned. 2v2 is easy if coordinated correctly. AD is not that good, AP control is probably the best. CC locking him is hard, play front to back or back to front depending on how strong he is.”
J98TheGreat says “A skilled Ekko is by no means weak. With Ekko, one thing that you have on him is clearing faster than him. You want to clear 5 camps (no krugs) and then save smite to knock off the shield of Scuttler and kill it as fast as possible and then prioritize getting the other Scuttler. You should look to gank mid if possible along the way as that would increase the chance of you getting the second Scuttler. This vision can both hurt him and help you early, but you always win the race to it.”
Victim_n says “when he get level 3 he have a lot of shield to reduce damage form you.
and when he got level 6 he can survival form you with ulti if you don't have a lot of damage to kill him
”
King Fidd says “Not as bad as graves since you can beat him early, but he is also a ticking time bomb (no pun intended) and will instakill you once he has 3-4 items.”
OnslaughtOfPwnys says “Not a big deal. He is able to counter gank you easily. Don't use everything on him cuz it's pointless as long as he has his ultimate Abillity. Ignite is a good option in this match-up”
Da Mastah says “Very easy to invade pre 6 or whenever his ult is down. Make sure to counter gank him to delay his powerspikes. Make sure to meditate through his q-auto-q combo. If they are REALLY good they press w and then they use r to prevent you from alpha strike dodging it so you end up stunned with it and take a big burst of damage, better to stay out of his w as whole than to dodge it. He only becomes hard to deal with when he picks up early kills, if he does get wits end, and possibly spirit visage if he gets extremely fed.”
The Elysian1 says “Ekko can be really efficent in late game if he take a big lead. His kit provides him with a lot of damage and escapes routes that Qiyana can't handle. Forcing fights with him in the early game should be fine but only if you have prio on lanes , or he is low hp.
”
KafueLechwe says “Although he can kite your Qs, Sion majorly outscales Ekko. This matchup is very skill oriented, and the better player will likely win.”
Zyvran says “He has a point and click dash, and a lot of burst. Those two things make him a menace. And, post 6, he has his UNO reverse card, so you can never kill him. ”
Pusi Puu says “Pressure him early game, invade him and make sure he falls behind. Once Ekko gets to a certain point he is super annoying to deal with since he can kite you with his passive and just ult your combo. Try to jump over a wall to catch him offguard or fight him in bushes.”
Doubtfull says “Ekko can cancel your ult with his, and he has a lot of ways of sticking on you. Build mercs and try to use your movespeed to prevent him from being able to land his 3 stack passive. don't ult him unless he has no R.”
LambWolf says “Ekko doesn't pose a threat early on. You can try to get pick on him. He mostly does 5 camp clear so you can try to get a cheese pick on his second buff.”
NixLychee says “Similar mobility to you, and slightly less damage, as well as being able to nullify your damage with his get-out-of jail free ultimate. Invade him early, his clear isn't the healthiest. Can't duel you unless you get stunned. Super strong lategame, so try to set him behind early game. ”
LordGrox says “Careful with his W bubble, if it lands he can deny your damage and instead burst you down. Play around his R. Once you are on top of him he should be an easy kill.”
Polarshift says “The thing that makes this match-up tough is that he can just poke and escape because of his passive, then he can wait for his second rotation of spells to go in again. After level 6 he's even harder to catch if he has his ultimate up. No, not even with Phase Rush (if he's good.)”
Veralion says “Does a ton of damage and is extremely sticky. Be very careful in a 1v1 setting early. Would not engage unless you get him in a facecheck. Always assume his ult is up, it has next to no cooldown for how powerful it is. Avoid his shadow like the plague; not only will it full heal him, it will practically one hit you. Leave him alone unless you have a sizeable lead or catch him low; a burst champion like yourself can't cut through two and a half full life bars worth of health. If you go for a kill, stay in motion, darting in and out of range to keep him guessing and not let him land his W or R on you. ”
Goldenstinger says “This is my ban - get this off the table asap especially higher elo. Check the tier list below for more info for threats. Anything S or A tier make sure to control ward your other buff and command your team to help respond to invades”
Doubtfull says “I'm not a huge fan of this match up. Ekko has a lot of tools to take you down and work around your drain. Unless you can 100-0 burst him before he can ult, its a rough match up. If he's smart he will build mercury treads which makes the match up really rough. Try to track him early game to prevent him from snowballing off of your lanes.”
Kocykek says “He's a scaling jungler and his early damage is low. He will go straight onto your carry to burst him down, try to stun him as much as possible. You can W his E roll.”
Arfreezy says “Last Updated: Patch 11.16 //
Jungler Type: Assassin Jungler //
Ekko is a scaling AP assassin similar to Evelynn. The main difference though is Ekko has very weak farm compared to other scaling junglers like Karth, Fiddle, Eve. For this reason, as Graves you can bully him off scuttles and farm well to secure a tempo lead. Ekko also has weak ganks so with good jungle tracking, he shouldn't have too much pressure on the lanes. Aim to take control of the rivers and constantly look for early fights if you have mid prio.
A high burst build like Eclipse Collector DH will really hurt Ekko since it will force him to ult early or die.”
FREAKSTAR says “Not really strong enough early to stop you from scaling up. He is really disgusting late game, but if you out gank him, and take the objectives, there wont be a late game..”
Tormentula says “You beat him early on so long as you either stay out of his W CC, or Rappel to dodge it, however once Ekko gets ult, you basically have to 100-0 him or CC lock him with the team before he ults. He's pretty squishy so its possible when ahead, but Ekko can get really huge basically doing everything Elise does but better past 10 minutes. ”
Doubtfull says “Ekko has a lot of tools to kite you, and can simply ult back to full health after your combo. This is an incredibly annoying match up for rek'sai. Be aware that he can ult your ult.”
IMissedMyQ says “He is very easy to deal with. You can smash him early game since you're stronger at every point (lvl 2, 6, and so on). He scales very well, and he has high impact in mid/late game teamfights, but you should be able to bully him and his lanes early mid game.”
Zekrow says “Strong champ with insane burst, mobility and regen.
Any good Ekko players will destroy you. He dashes out of your W, can stun you, gain a shield, run away with ult. Its just a terrible match-up. Ban every time!”
Insightful says “Ekko doesn't really represent a threat, he farms very slow compared to you, his combo is very straightforward so it's not too hard to hit your Q if you time it perfectly.”
Simple Shawn says “[TL;DR - GANK WHEN USED E, IF JUNGLER THEN FIGHT IF YOU'VE GOT AN ITEM ADVANTAGE EARLY. CARE OF HIS ULT, TANK HIS 3rd PASSIVE PROC WITH W. CARE OF HIS ULT IN TEAMFIGHTS. 1v1 AFTER YOUR FIRST MR ITEM, 125+ MR NEEDED WITHOUT W IF HE HAS VOID STAFF.]
[Ekko is a good champion, he has a ranged skill, a shield + stun, a gap closer that can act as an evade, but most importantly his ult is an AoE that deals quite a lot of damage, it also regenerates a high amount of his health if goodly used. I recommend you not to fight him before something important, he can just get a lot of your HP and regenerate instantly. Counterganks are very easy, an Ekko will almost always use his W and E to start a gank, but those have kind of high cooldown so if you're able to quickly reply, you could get a good turn into the fight. You can't do a lot versus him in a teamfight, just mind about the ADC(s) and the AA champions and everything will be OK.]
[INCONTROLLABLE MAGE-ASSASSIN CHAMPION]”
SaltCat says “Op champ, early game you can win 1v1 if he doesnt land his w, he is stronger midgame , later in the game you can kill him if you charm him so he wont have the ability to ult”
NamaeWaMitsurii says “Watch out for his R. He can outheal you by alot. Build Grievous Wounds and Magic Resist. Simply make yourself strong by ganking your team and making them strong. ”
Farmer Cleetus says “He's in the early a bit stronger than you + make sure you outfarm him and gank more often than him so you have a free dominating lane and he will fall off very easily. I also recommend on visiting his jungle side sometimes to take CS away it will keep your CS upwards and his downwards.”
Karasmai says “Very rough to play against if he snowballs early but he has a very slow clear so by the time you full clear he won't be 5 camps in. Just make sure you or your team wards early for the early ganks if he gets a early gank off he can easily run the game over, I typically only go Rhaast into Ekko and itemize Goredrinker - Manamune - Tabi - Cleaver - Spirit Visage - Chainsword.”
MexBookMaster says “A ekko le duelen mucho los trades largos y es algo que Rhaast domina por excelencia. Kayn limpia más rapido la jungla. Si no lleva electrocutar le ganas el 1v1 en el escarabajo. Con Shadow Assassin (Azul) sin duda lo puedes Oneshotear igual.”
ak521 says “I personally hate ekko. Whenever he makes a mistake he just presses R and he jumps all the way back. He should not be that hard to counter. He has a slow jungle farm so he shouldn't be able to steal your camps if you keep them warded. Just like any other champion. You can't 1v1 him. Deals mediocre damage from range as long as he doesn't detonate his passive late game. CC the hell out of him if he E's in.”
Rhoku says “Ekko is never a threat unless he is 5+ kills ahead. And even then, Sterak's Gage should give you time to stack up on him and kill him. His difficulty comes in the form of him being VERY slippery and difficult to catch. Basically, if you are there, he cannot stand and fight so contest things against him.”
Kayncer says “Annoying, fast, has a lot of healing, try to kill him pre 6, he is easy to invade. but in mid and late game he scales a lot so be careful!”
Polarshift says “Go for the Domination tree. You win against him in the early game. You can invade him at his blue or red buff. When he has his ultimate up, you can root him when you jump; preventing him from ulting while you try to oneshot him.”
Lambda Diana says “You are strong then him early and you have conq so you win the longer fights early on. Get a lead and counter jg him keep him from getting 6 as long as you can. He will out scale you end early. ”
OsakaSatang says “Go electro+sorcery
He is squishy but has high burst damage pre6 like you. You can contest for crab and make sure your team has prio. Crab's not worth dying for and just run to the other crab he is not in.”
ItsSkoob says “Ekko is weaker than you early game so try to abuse that. If you just leave him alone he will outscale you and make everyone chant "Jg Diff" in the chat.”
lightrocket2 says “Ekko jumps to you which is nice but he gains a lot of movement speed so he can kite you. Also can easily steal objectives using E + Smite, nearly impossible to outsmite if timed correctly”
Ellesmere says “Ekko jungle is annoying. Why? Because he's Ekko. He has a lot of cc, plus a ludicrous amount of escape. He can dash over walls or ult away from you, etc. If you want to check out his jungle pre 6 go for it, but typically I would just stick to my side. Once you're farmed up with your bloodrazor/rageblade you should be able to 1v1 him, although beware the ult!”
RedNBlue says “Ekko you can kill really easily early game especially pre-6 post 6 he will just be running from you so he will be missing out of farm and some action.”
SketchtheHunter says “Annoyance. High mobility, a huge as stun/shield with his W, and a get out of jail-free ulti that can also nuke you in extended fights. Bully this one early.”
Soulreaperjin says “His W can be troublesome if you're ambushed by that, but otherwise just keep dodging his Q, so he can't E on you. Also keep him in one place so he can't use his R to yeet away.”
Suseri says “Laning phase is fine but after level 6 he has a 2nd life which makes it hard for you to kill him before your ult runs out. Try to dodge his stun field with your Q after he walked into it.”
Maintained says “It's pretty hard for Ekko to do anything to you. He can't ever solo kill you unless he is fed, especially with phase rush. If you ult him in teamfights when he dives in, he's likely to die before he can use his ult.”
manco1 says “Ekko has a weak early game but still can one shot you all game. He does snowball so if he gets a kill early then you need to watch out. Once he hits level 6 he should be avoided because of his ult. ”
Kayn Mains says “Early game you win fights but you likely won’t actually get to kill him as he can run away with his passive. Your clear is faster than his, so go for a different approach by just speedrunning to level 6.
During mid game you still out-duel him. Once Ekko gets his Chronobreak (R) however, make sure to track his shadow/hologram. If he uses his ultimate while you are inside of him you will follow. Avoid getting ported into a bunch of enemies or ending up in his AoE stun.
When it comes to the late game Ekko outscales both Rhaast and Shadow Assassin. Try to close out the game before he gets four items. If you don't manage to do so make sure to build some magic resist or healing reduction to counter his ultimate.”
LilPaniniUwU says “Similar mobility to you, and slightly less damage, as well as being able to nullify your damage with his get-out-of jail free ultimate. Invade him early, his clear isn't the healthiest. Can't duel you unless you get stunned.
”
metalhydra273 says “His w is annoying, but get around it and he doesn't offer much directly outside of a proc and run. Watch for his ult if you wanna kill him. Either save your ult for after he uses it or ensure his death before he can turn back time.”
mgutis says “Ekko is karthus but better on this patch, as he outscales karthus 1v1, one shots karthus and cant die to karthus R since ekko R is on a lower cooldown, and inherently counters karthus R, I ban ekko now. ”
PulseBeat_02 says “If Ekko tries to use his ultimate or Parallel Convergence on you, black shield so you don't get impacted by the effects. He can easily use his ultimate to also escape your ultimate if necessary. Make sure to look at his shadow/echo.”
KhaZix Mains says “[6/10] Can be easy to burst early on so long as you avoid his AoE stun and maximize your passive autos. Once he gets level 6 it'll be much harder to kill him with his ult available along with his burst potential once he has Mythic item. Later on in the game you can try to bait out his R just be mindful of his ult clone or else you'll get obliterated without magic resist.
Itemization is up to the situation but having Q evolve will allow you to win with much more ease. If you're having trouble with his healing consider picking up an executioner's calling or hexdrinker to prevent him from snowballing.”
Nanelol says “He survives your burst thanks to his ultimate and he's able to follow your ultimate with his dash ability (E). You are an easy target for him.”
Nanelol says “Ekko outscales Elise, and in general is just a better mid game version of her, but Elise is still stronger early and has the tools to counter his kit. When Ekko uses his big AoE W, you can dodge it and stall the shield itself with Rappel. I also like to play fights slower vs. Ekko, using Cocoon as late as possible so that I can kill him before he can press R.”
Heccie says “Pretty simple pre 6 easy invade him apply pressure, after 6 try to kill the squishiest before him since he has two health bars. Stay away from his shadow following him. ( his r)”
Eagzey says “He can't do anything to you but you literally can't do anything to him. Because you don't have that much power early game you can't pressure him like AD Shaco, so he scales for free and will outscale.”
Vispectra says “Some what of an even lane tilting towards your favor. Of course a good Ekko will be slippery and be a pain in the ass really but usually you'll be okay in lane, be mindful of ganks as he sets them up pretty well. Later on he remains a threat I recommend trying to snatch him off guard as this will be a battle of who gets the jump on who.”
BlackFalcon2005 says “Most AP assasins are quite a pain but if Ekko get fed early you are done for. Ekko is a late game hypercarry so try to destroy him early as he is pretty week.”
theceasrsalad says “pretty slippery with his e, rocketbelt, and ult. try to fight him early when hes is weakest because his late game burst is pretty hard to survive unless you itemize correctly.”
PK Noob says “Ekko can easily dodge your abilities and burst you down at any stage of the game. Avoid him at all costs and keep your team in the game so that you can burst him later on.”
RedNBlue says “He is like Kha'Zix as if he gets an early pick on you your toast. Plus Ekko has a lot of sustain and a lot of burst so you will have some big problems killing him late game if you die early to him.”
RedNBlue says “Ekko shouldn't be much of a problem for you as you will be able to tank through his damage and he doesn't have a good cc to stop you from ulting. I know his e stuns but you can pop your ult just before it stuns you really.”
Riyad101 says “I hate Ekko since I think his ultimate is broken. He is killable but also can kill you. You will most likely trade kills with each other early game but if you think you can't kill him then farm. Ignite him at the start of the fight and keep fighting.”
EUWRATS says “Not that strong, just make sure to take phase rush so you can catch him when he tries to run away after using his passive. Make sure to use R before he ults to kill him before he heals”
nZk01 says “ekko has a really shit first clear so you can easily invade him after your fullclear with a laner, otherwise champ is rly bad pre6 so should be free.”
SoSheolH says “Very fast, and he can just W whenever he wants to get you off of him. Wait for him to use his W then go in on him, and with your E+W combo you might just be able to CC him long enough to get him killed, or get his ult at least, which is very helpful too.”
Caled says “Ekko is only strong if he can snowball early. If Ekko does not snowball early, Kayn should have a very easy time playing against Ekko. Take advantage of the fact that Kayn has a much faster and healthier clear, ESPECIALLY in the early/mid game. Prioritize farming early and try invading Ekko whenever you have vision of him on the opposite side of the jungle to set him behind even further. Ideally, Rhaast plays much better into Ekko and fights him with ease mid/late game. If Ekko does snowball early and starts to get really big, play for late game and try to scale as much as you can. Cool interaction to keep in mind, if you use Umbral Tresspass (R) and Ekko uses Chronobreak (R) while you are inside of him, you will be brought back to wherever he ulted.”
Loul_60 says “Ekko has been pretty strong for a while now, and is pretty strong into Kayn too. If he's good he will ult when you exit yours to completely negate the damage. If you're Shadow Assassin, don't fight him in his W or you're dead.”
liserith says “After he gets his Hextech Alternator, he can burst you down in no time. As an assassin, he wins this matchup naturally, but with his ult and his insane damage, he's impossible to duel. His damage is manageable during the early scuttle fights, but do not let him get ahead. ”
Gumipapucs says “You can farm him in the early game as you are much stronger than him especially if you have a red buff, but watch out because he can deal a surprising amount of damage. Somewhat kiteable but he can get on top of you with his E and his Q slow. If he does not kill you during that time, he's pretty much doomed and he definetly can't kill you under that time in the early game if you are at 100% HP. He can only win early if he manages to stun you. Your best bet is to catch him off guard in the jungle as he gets kinda low and you will have a HP advantage. He scales super well into lategame even if he's very behind, also his ult reaches his current position after 4 seconds, the same time as your ultimate, so if he forces you to ult, he can either stun you at the end of your ult and/or deal a huge amount of damage with his own ult which is a guaranteed death for you, so you must jump a wall or flash out. If you engage him later in the game & you have some stacks for the extra attack range he will be forced to ult and/or die, just make sure he can't get to you because he will delete you, also watch out if he builds protobelt and prioritize keeping your distance over dealing damage. Red smiting him means he is unlikely (but still can) to burst you if he manages to get on top of you.”
chevy the sloot says “Tempo match up. You hard out farm him but his ganks are stronger early. You can duel/contest him early if hit your Qs and avoid his W/second Q.”
c0st0m says “if you get hit by his w (stun) you will undoubtedly lose the fight other than that ur 1v1 potential for late game is definitly lillia favored but beware of his ult because ekko can cleanse ur sleep with his ultimate”
Udyr uber says “Esse aqui escala entre o 3-5
Depende muito do seu desempenho no game, geralmente pego conquistador (iniciante) e invado ele direto, rusho Passos de Mercúrio+Sabre de Batalha Encantamento: Guerreiro
”
Raizins says “I have found that Ekko can be a problem for Alistar, especially when you are the primary source of CC on your team. He has enough mobility and dashes that your combo can sometimes whiff, and on top of that his Ulti essentially denies your combo. So be careful to not waste your spells on him unless you are sure you can get the kill.”
Do1HaveTh3Sauce says “His R counter's your R entirely if he uses it at the right time. He can deal massive amounts of burst damage to you and your team. Very squishy so you should take advantage of that.”
Luxon333 says “out scales pretty hard
if he uses his E on you try to E back so that he teleport inside your stun
try to kill pre 6 with jungler
after your 1. item you are stronger for a little while ”
PsiGuard says “He has several ways to break or mitigate the effectiveness of your tether, and he has high burst which makes him hard for you to DPS. If you ult him, make sure you're aware of how many of his mobility options are on cooldown. If you don't get stunned by his W, you can hold your own 1v1 early.”
Lightning_Ranger221100 says “"pls no, don't ult after i have done 7308 dama- oh wait i found where you rewined. Haha, Q go BRRRRRR"
-An udyr main while trying to gank mid”
ChaseMorePlz says “Ekko doesn't provide too much of a threat due to his build path, however can prove to be dominant in long fights and skirmishes. Try to prevent these if possible.”
ChaseMorePlz says “His blinks travel faster than your Q's. Ekko is sort of a different type of Amumu that is faster paced with more attention towards how he positions himself inside of his abilities..”
ChaseMorePlz says “Ekko doesn't provide too much of a threat due to his build path, however can prove to be dominant in long fights and skirmishes. Try to prevent these if possible.”
waayWest says “Easy matchup, he can get on top of you with his burst but right now it's not enough to take you down, you can perma CC with your ult to prevent his to activate.”
sonminh says “Early game you can beat him as long as you don't get stunned. 2v2 is easy if coordinated correctly. AD is not that good, AP control is probably the best. CC locking him is hard, play front to back or back to front depending on how strong he is.”
Wolf Rengar says “Recommended: Electrocute Rune Page/Build.
Tips: Invade in early , force double Crab , when ahead you can jump on him without abilities so he will ult and then burst him.
Ekko is weak right now but he counters your burst with his R so take care of it.”
Get Ricked says “If you play it well you beat Ekko at all stages. If he jumps you suddenly just jump out cause he probably has his W on you. If he doesn't hit his stun you kill him.”
G Spot God says “Ekko is super fun to play, super annoying to play against. This is a fringe hard matchup but I give the edge to skarner because of the tankiness.”
DarkAuraLOL says “Ekko is one of the easiest matchups ever in the jungle. The champion is weak in every single aspect. You can permanently inavade him pre-6, he has a slow and an unhealthy clear where you can just invade him anytime you want. Also you can oneshot him mid/late, force his ult everytime, and with you e and r, you can catch up with his mobility.”
KajiKumihoAkukei says “Ekko deals a decent amount of damage and he has a stun, but it is very telegraphed. If you can dodge his stun it is easy to invade him pre 6 and get him behind.”
Temper77 says “Normally, this should be easy, until your Mid feeds him with a spoon. Try to land your E with your team to try and beat him down until he R's back and kills everyone”
MetaSolaray says “Ekko's potential snowball and his two second timer can lead to a harsh time. With a slight nerf to his jungle clear you can outpace jungle clear to gain early XP. Try to catch him after he's thrown out his W, if you can stop him reaching his shield he's very squishy. Force early objectives and take fights he doesn't see coming to win.”
Sq_09 says “Early Ekko is rather weak and his clear is on the lower end. He will most likely not invade you pre-6 and he can't do much early anyways. Later however he is a great threat in that he can oneshot you with E1-Q-E2-RB-AA without much risk. If he ever jumps onto you, you will need to hit him during E1, since using it after that is really risky (his E2 can blink thought it, Rocketbelt displaces him an may even put him behind you, He gains high MS after hitting his combo). If you miss your E, you are probably dead.”
DarkAuraLOL says “Easy matchup based on my experience. Never struggled with ekko matchup. his early clear is slow, he loses alot of HP , you can most of the time spot him in his jungle low on health without his e, invade him 24/7 , go for his camps, cheese early, and fight him as much as you can, also once you get blue form, you can be fast enough to one shot him without him reacting with R”
C7 Lord Pingu says “This matchup feels almost entirely dependant on avoiding his stun while also landing your own one. He's really hard to deal with early game so try wait for a while before fighting him unless you get lucky and find him low HP. If enemies don't really have tankiness, you'll thoroughly enjoy the Shieldbow build vs this guy.”
lolBlender says “Only ult this guy when you can kill him through ulti. If you have to ult him early you can stand on his ult location and kill him after he presses r.”
AlmostN0Numbers says “Not only can he run you down at any point, but he can negate any succeful attempt to get on top of him. You can outplay him but be cautious”
ANTHONYEVELYNN says “His ultimate has such a low cooldown going down to ridiculous numbers (like 10 seconds) at max rank that he can just go on you, trade his ultimate for yours, but yours will be on cooldown for next fight and his will be back up. Also so easy to play one of my top bans.”
Shukori says “Ekko starts becoming a threat at lvl 3, but you should be able to 1v1 him in case he wants to invade you, just make sure to not get stunned by his W. If he gets ahead he will stomp Karthus easily, he is able to Burst Karthus and get out easily with his Passive and Ult. He is also able to build Zhonyas so he has multiple ways to avoid your Ult Damage. ”
RedNBlue says “Ekko is the bottom of the extreme threats. But, Ekko early game is a lot harder to kill than some other assassin Junglers as he can stun you and dash away from your moves.”
GabrielGames says “You can block his E1 (small dash) with your W but if he's ahead you probably wont be able kill him. In early dont let him stun you and that's an easy kill”
Simon The Shaco Main says “His E can follow your Q. Pre-6, your ganks are stronger and so is your counterjungling so just make sure you abuse him early. Post-6 you never really win fights because of his ult but AP Shaco makes it easier as you can fight him from a distance.”
Schadenfreude says “He will outkite you and he will outscale you. Try and take him down before he hits 6 because unless he is braindead, you're not going to be able to kill him. ”
chevy the sloot says “You clear so much faster than him and can also bully him early. That said he snowballs pretty big. Track him and counter gank him.”
Aurelius2142 says “BURN. BURN IT WITH FIRE. Ekko has the delightful ability to one-shot you at any time (the primary weakness of this build), and if you happen to get him in low in an early post-6 1v1, he can heal it all back anyway. Kill him early, or not at all.”
Karthus man says “An Ekko can wipe the floor with you, or, you can wipe the floor with him. Try to counter gank him and find him while he is vulnerable and kill him to get ahead. ”
Chaddy Chapstick says “Ekko does a lot of damage mid to late abuse him early and put him behind. He is very slippery and can kill you easily if he has ult or is fed enough. ”
ractick says “If he gets ahead of Kayn he will be extremely hard to deal with, with both forms!
Conqueror Kayn wins against him in fights in the early game though.
Blue kayn deals with Ekko better than Red.”
Maile says “This is comes down to which jungler is better. Both champs can clear at a relatively similar pace so it comes down to your mechanics at early skirmishes. ”
McSushi says “unless the player is horrible, you cannot beat him unless you catch him low hp with no spells ready. you HAVE TO either power farm or invade, which both are risky and not optimal.”
Connweasel says “Extremely mobile champion, and deals a ton of damage. You can CC this champion and burst it down quick if you play with your time or get the jump on him. However Ekko has been one of the hardest matchups for me.”
REXAI TurboSmurf says “ekko is not problem until he dont have ultimate, with his R he dodge your R and heal. so, you waste r and your life. and also gives him gold to fck you up again.”
CalicoCactus says “Stupidest champ ever, I personally ban Ekko or Nunu every game. Ekko's insane AP scaling ratios and huge burst leave him stomping most junglers, if you are smart, use grievous, and keep an eye on his R cooldown you can win the fight, you can also save things like your Q and E for when he is low and about to use his ult to stop him in his tracks and let your team take him down.”
Mirarkane says “Survivability, Mobility, Burst, Ekko's too strong for Elise. Killing him early can give you a good head start, but he'll catch up fast and outscale you. Good ban.”
Oddirear says “Not super threatening, but very frustrating for Rek'Sai. Having an AoE stun and the ability to undo her combo can frustrate attempts to gank or jungle against. Do not engage solo if he has ult available unless you're significantly more fed than he his and you're unlikely to encounter his teammates.”
KevinThyAsian says “His E can be problematic if his ahead but you can overcome him if you are even. I suggest aggressively jg vs’ing him as it’ll be unlikely he’ll expect it”
LamentsSong says “Ekko's broken right now. You have range but he has damage. Try to play safe but if this is a good Ekko your lane is going to be rough.”
Minase says “Both champions are looking to power-farm and scale, though you farm faster. If he gets ahead he can one-shot you just as much as you can to him. Look to charm him and kill him within the charm duration so that he can't R your damage away. Typically speaking whoever dies first in this matchup will lose.”
BoyWonder00 says “He has a massive AoE stun that gives him a shield and has great burst damage. He also is very hard to kill once he is level 6. If he doesn't land his stun, however, you can CC him and drain him.”
ACE4291 says “Can beat you 1v1 like most champs pre lvl 6 but the difference is he can ult his health back after 6. Note if you fear him and your team dives him.... he will be dead before he can R. ”
God_Maw Lan says “I personally find ekko quite easy to counter, in any fight ,1v1 or 5v5 as long as you evade his stun ;you literally counter him with your R or E.”
BoyWonder00 says “For both Rhaast and Shadow Assassin he can be a threat. He isn't tanky, so Rhaast doesn't live forever off of him. He also is just as slippery as SA, and his R makes him extremely hard to burst down.”
Frixen says “Ekko has really good waveclear, so it is possible that he pushes you in, however if you play it correctly, you can poke him at all times pre-6 and most of the time he cannot return the damage as he is fairly low range. Don't get into all in short range trades, always keep your distance, be mindful of your autospacing and you should have no issue.”
SkellyBirb says “Ekko can deal a lot of damage in a short time, but as long as you avoid standing in his shield and slow/stun, you can go even in trading.”
metalhydra273 says “Can be a nuisance with his slipperiness, but you can deal with him early game and win the 1v1 unless he pulls ahead or gets a good stun in. You can try to burst him down early by ulting him into your team and ensuring he dies before he gets to ult back.”
SHACO BOLADO says “Você vence lutas antes de 6,Seus ganks são muito mais fortes e o counter gank é muito bom contra ele, depois do nivel 6 vc quase nunca ganha um 1v1 contra ele por causa da ult dele, mas se ele estiver sem ult vc pode tentar matar ele mas cuidade ele tem um otimo burst, em TF tente focar outros alvos se ele estiver com ult ele segue seu Q com o E dele ent cuidado com seu timing, vc pode desviar do dano da ult dele com sua ult, (Shaco AP e Muito melhor contra o ekko jogue ao redor das caixinhas forçando ele a ultar ou ate mesmo matar ele sem chegar perto)”
NixLychee says “Ekko's ability to negate a lot of your burst damage as Kayn is difficult to deal with, and he scales just as hard as you do, so you should try to bait him into using it, so he recovers only a little health and you can burst him down.”
AKScorched says “Ekko isn't really a big threat. If he starts chasing you, wait for him to use his e, then Q him. You can fight him, but you need to avoid his W and R. In mid-late game he wins those fights, so be careful with him.”
NixLychee says “Pre 6, you'll stomp him were you to 1v1 him, but at lvl 6 his ult helps him in a fight, while yours does not, so he'll ult to regain some health and either get away or possibly win the fight.”
Aas112mm says “He is not a big threat for you on 1v1, he can almost never kill you unless if he's fed, but what will effect your game is that he outganks you, out farms you in early game so you will very likely to fall behind and you cannot kill him, unless your team baits his R or if he is just bad then maybe, but overall he is just annoying and facing him will be a huge pain in the ass for both you and your team.”
gurubashi35 says “His entire kit revolves around kiting you with his Q slow and W stun, so only fight him if you're confident you can tank/dodge both. ”
Reason97 says “Ekko can be annoying if he gets ahead, but his setup is predictable, and easy to interrupt. If you see him use his Parallel Convergence (the bubble ability that slows everyone inside), you'll see a shadow of echo appear near his character. This usually means he's going for an all in. Avoid the bubble, either split off to a side or get under tower, and he usually will just back off. Avoid his his Timewinder skillshot, it's fast at first, but stay about a Q's distance away from him, and you'll be outside the fastest part of it. If he uses his Phasedive, save your Q and LET him hit you. trying to Q him to stop the ability will result in you missing most times. but if you let the dive hit, he's RIGHT in your face, making it super easy to Q, back off a ways, and stack your other abilities on him. ”
NixLychee says “He will ult when you ult, and negate most of your damage. You need to be significantly ahead to fight him, and don't stand near him for too long, as he can ult and almost oneshot you.”
KaRMaX says “With recent up, he is OP (lot of dmg,stun for 2,25 seconds and revive)
Really ANNOYING. Has a lot, lot and lot of mouvement speed with his kit and a lot of burst.
Try ta dodge his E (Alpha Strike if it's late to go back from the zone).
Later with mercs, Wit's End and Death Dance, he ain't a problem anymore.
Earlygame try to match him in ganking, play around your team”
chasemyman1 says “Just get ahead early and this is a winning matchup. Its all about doing as much damage to his jungle pre level 6. After that the matchup becomes even if you are not ahead.”
NixLychee says “This champion needs a balance soon. His ability to oneshot people is almost unmatched, save for Veigar, Evelynn and Kha'Zix, and he has so much safety in his shield and Ult, so just try to avoid him, he will destroy anything.”
reganakers says “Ekko is very weak early, and wants to look to not die and scale up by farming his camps. You must try to disrupt him and get a strong enough early lead with objectives to close games before he gets too massive.”
McSushi says “if you don't get ahead of him in levels, he will gank more, farm more, get objectives faster, and scale harder than you can, because of his broken ult and W and passive. so just counter jungle, and use exhaust properly.”
PsiGuard says “This is actually a pretty good matchup despite how strong Ekko can be. Since your charm lasts so long, Ekko can die before he's able to use his ult. Make sure you max W second to give your team a bigger window to burst him before he can ult.”
BrawlerDave says “Hard, but not too hard, can steal objectives, once your get your Aegies, and mercs, it would be alot easier to face this champ, otherwise, I would just evade battling with him”
Aimisenpaii says “Dodge q you win, don't and you hard lose. Try to play around counter ganking and not ganking, him using his W as a entry for his gank is crucial for you having a successful counter gank”
KillyOne says “Early on he is not very strong and in jungle he can get pretty low on health. This makes him relatively easy to invade, but he does scale realy well into mid and late game.”
League Of Cursed says “Haha scarecrow go burrrrr. Honestly, I've never had issues with ekko. Yes, his early game is better than yours. However, he builds so squishy most of the time that once you have items you can kill him before he gets to ult.
”
Dopamine_influx says “You win hard early, just adapt your clear towards fighting on scuttle/double scuttle, invade him when you know where he is, and counter gank every gank.”
Xeldom says “Even match-up.
He has horrible clear for most of early game, find ways to exploit this depending on where he starts and counter gank him or invade Ekko. Once he has 6 he becomes harder to shut down and will eventually be difficult for you to one-shot unless you're super ahead”
AWierdShoe says “You can invade early and force 1v1s to try and grab a lead on him, as Ekko is reliant on items and snowballing to be an effective assassin. If he gets his items, he has the potential to burst you down so be cautious. Ekko is super reliant on his ultimate when fighting, so it's good to fight him when it is down.”
DarkArbalist613 says “A Ekko's Burst can be pretty problematic, and his ult is frustrating, but he is pretty squishy. Overall just watch out if he is ahead and play off his cooldowns.”
Comrade Eshgrim says “He has tons of outplay potential, your reflexes will matter here a lot but this matchup is not in your favor in general. Play it safe.”
MrMoonBird says “Ekko is a close-range champion, so maintaining distance is key. He can slow with his Q and W, but like with Aurelian, you can easily sidestep them. Kite him out with your speed and punish him early.”
nextonetwo says “So Ekko is a semi-aggressive jungler, he can just walk in and steal your stuff, but you can put up a decent fight if you're good, still call for help cuz he's a free kill pre-6. After 6 he can be pretty annoying, just avoid his ult area and you could probably 1 v 1 him. he moves fast though with his passive, so be weary of that. ”

Zailent says “Rhaast is the best way to beat him. His stun will make your shadow assasin form useless since he will burst you down as soon as you try bursting him (uno reverse card in less words). As Rhaast youre gonna have the sustain to withstand his dmg, and you can heal with your R a bunch.”
DarkPit59 says “Malgré un early compliqué en jungle, Ekko peut aisément vous tenir tête dès qu'il obtient son niveau 6 et ses premiers objets. Prenez garde à son ultime et trackez son délai de récupération, celui-ci étant court, vous n'aurez pas beaucoup d'opportunités.”
Vodka4Gaben says “You will always beat him 1v1, but he snowballs super hard and I would recommend you always ban him. You might be able to win against him, but your team won't. So this is my perma banned champion.”
SapphireLoL says “Ekko can slow with his Q and W, which while isn't as much of a threat as Kindred/ Graves, can still prevent you getting to him as quickly as needed.”
TheRabidRabbitX says “Ekko is a pain because he has the ability to directly counter your burst. Akali's strongest strength lies in her burst potential but Ekko can reverse all of that. You have to be really careful and either poke him down or burst him when his abilities are burned.”
WickedPoppet says “Haha scarecrow go burrrrr. Honestly, I've never had issues with ekko. Yes, his early game is better than yours. However, he builds so squishy most of the time that once you have items you can kill him before he gets to ult.”
D3str00 says “Small threat, however you can't underestimate him. His E dash can easily make you miss Q and lose trade with him. And most probably his ult with make you angry, when he will survive on 50hp and use it for safety.”
agarandom says “- Ekko cannot use his R if you root him. Therefore, use your empowered E (root) to root him and burst him afterwards.
- Try to hit your E on him. Ekko is really good at running away, so hitting your E is very important.
- Go Edge of Night so that you don't get stunned from his W, since an Ekko would usually stand inside his W (because he thinks he is safer there).
- Make sure to play around your bushes. If he uses E, you are able to jump on him, making him unable to kite you (with his passive/E).
Usually against Ekko, you want to invade his Red. I will talk about this later.”
JccmSaysNom says “Ekko has a much better burst than AP Ashe aswell as good kiteability with his kit, his biggest flaw is that he is melee, abuse this, when he tries to last hit W and AA him.
Make sure he doesn't get his passive on you, and dont get hit by his Q on the way back since it deals more damage and he can E - AA you for the passive damage.”
Sorrowful Prince says “The king of the fiesta. His clear isn't that much better than yours but he is even stronger in skirmishes which makes him really hard to face. He can easily dodge your hookshot so don't even try hitting him as long as he has e up. You can lock him inside your ultimate later so he can't r away if you catch him.”
TrevorJayce says “Ekko is pretty easy to play into. His kit is hard countered by you as if he stuns you and procs his passive on you, you can double W the damage away and he essentially just healed you. Don't give him a lead and it's an easy W.”
Honey_drops says “Not that bad but can be very annoying. You can kill him in 1 combo unless he builds a lot of MR. Be careful of his ult since the cooldown is much lower than yours. ”
Fabosch is Love says “Actually OP in jungle. You have better early game but Ekko is hard to catch because of his mobility in fight. His late game is stronger than you.”
Morzanoth says “Ekko is a tough match up regardless of how he builds. A tank Ekko will out scale you since he can deal a good amount of damage and still be really tanky. An AP Ekko can actually burst you very well so it is equally strong. Ekko can avoid all damage from your Ult and he will heal back some Health so you may be left in a tight spot. Ideally you want to use your E as soon as he jumps to you to avoid the follow up damage from timewinder and then slow him with the second part of your E. This is a very tough skill match up and depends on how much you can get done before Ekko starts getting stronger.”
Loki029 says “Use Ignite for his Ultimate, Silence him if you want too Ult him before he can Ult, Free from his Q slow with your Q, avoid his 3rd empowerd AA or use W for it.”
jsmolik says “its easy match-up if you know how to play it . dont fight him solo . when you are with team ult him on half HP after he cant use his R so he cant save himself . ”
PrettyPinkPutin says “He slows hard, runs fast, deals a lot of damage and you generally need to kill him twice, you can easily R his W stun and that's about it. Avoid his return Q if possible, his R when used in your R will deal damage in it's original location but he will end up in your arena so it's pretty neat.”
Ryttar says “Your CCs will be very important against him but be careful, if he's fed he'll burst you like crazy. Always care about his ult and never underestimate him.”
lheisse says “While his cc is very predicable, he has substantial burst damage. You will need to make sure he does not get on top of you. he is melee so as long as you keep him away he cannot burst you. Keep an eye on his ulti echo so if he ults you can land a quick skillshot. ”
KajiKumihoAkukei says “Ekko deals a decent amount of damage and he has a stun, but it is very telegraphed. If you can dodge his stun it is easy to invade him pre 6 and get him behind.”
briguy1109 says “Ekko is an interesting matchup, and the interactions with his abilities are somewhat inconsistent. You can Q the stun easily, and alpha when low to follow him in his R, but the rest of your team probably will not be able to handle him without. you there.”
VekkyBoi says “Ekko is decently strong right now in the meta. Bursting down an Ekko is hard later as he just presses his R button. Can outduel you early game, only if you fight him. You can disengage from Ekko well.”
Soulreaperjin says “His W can be troublesome if you're ambushed by that, but otherwise just keep dodging his Q, so he can't E on you.
Also keep him in one place so he can't use his R to yeet away.”
BlindKidNoThumbs says “Easy matchup especially before Ekko is 6. Make sure to invade him and pressure him and gank early.You also have great lockdown fairly easy matchup.”
MannerlessNG says “A fairly average challenge unless handled by a professional. Most of the time you make him obsolete by 15 mins as you outscale him badly. He is most threatening at the early stages so guard your lanes.”
Fabosch is Love says “You have a better early game. The problem is : he has more mobility and his ult to escape. Really hard to denie. He also has a better scaling. Just get a Maw against him.”
The Top Bear says “JUNGLE: Ekko jungle is one of those niche picks that people think isn't that viable until they get smacked by it. He is very strong early and will likely win in any 1v1. The best thing to do however is to try to control scuttles, as your clear should be slightly better. then track and countergank him.
MID and TOP: This man is a difficult lane opponent, and can smack you around pretty much all game. The best plan is to poke him down as best you can, and try to bait him into fights under your tower. Once he uses his ulti, you can reset with your E heal, and then 1v1 him.”
PrideHunter says “You win early fights as long as you dodge his stun which is quite easy with rappel. At level 6 you will be fine as long as you are even.”
urrb says “This champ deals some pretty heavy damage while also being able to hard cc you and your team in an aoe. You can go for an early cheese at one of his buffs if you can catch him with his abilities on cooldown, but otherwise respect him when you come across him. He's very strong with teammates that can follow up on his w stun. If you dodge his q and don't get stunned by his W you can win, but many times he will get away anyways. Try to focus on ganking to get a lead and taking his camps when you can.”
Goku SSJ sensed your ener says “Ignore unless he's alone, attack other targets but if he is a damage threat then force his r and go for another person.”
OGPOTATOJEFFSHACO says “Weak early game. Should not lose unless you are retarded. Invade, counter jungle, gank the possibilities are endless. Your R can counter many of his abilities. 1v1 shouldn't be too much of a problem.”
Aizenvolt says “Ekko is generally easy keep the poke with q and e and w also avoid his disk when it returns. When he uses disk use your q to cancel damage. After 6 keep an eye on his shadow. Dont get near that or he will ult and kill you in an instant. Also dont underestimate his heal from his ult. It can give him the fight, so be sure that you have the upper hand when you engage.”
Grap3fest says “Ekko is tough- he can reset the whole duel with you and is running dark harvest as a main keystone. We like being a low health so we dont like this :)”
HalcyonFox says “Due to Ekko's 3 hit passive, massive shield from W, his E to close a gap and his R to jump away and regain health, Ekko can be tricky. Highly mobile, highly damaging.
Post level 6, you may not have many issues dealing with him provided you can land your fully charged W for the charm and MR shred, mostly one shotting him with your Q and E.
Pre 6 however, it's best to try and avoid early fights until you have your Sheen or a laner around to aid you, should you need it. Don't take extended trades with this one for a Skuttle Crab, he usually wins.”
matg8 says “Ekko is a pain early, but as long as he isn't fed you should be fine. If he is, then he's more like a 5 on this list bc he can still shred you anyway. BUILD AGAINST HIM (AP resist).”
eastya says “Pretty weak until he hits 6. You pop him early with your true damage. In team fights if he tries to assassinate your carries simply deny him and knock him up.”
jaybae says “One of the strongest junglers atm. A load of dmg as well as a shield/stun and a dash. Avoid dueling Ekko early levels but feel free to fight him post-6 if you can avoid his skillshots.”
Mkcls says “A bit ekko favored. He's (Just like you) really squishy, so its possible to win 1vs1. Keep in mind his ult cooldown and avoid getting stunned by all cost! You should consider buying GA if he's fed.”
HackedAccountlol says “2 Second stun on his W. Passive is bonkers for securing objectives ( 2 passive stack+ auto+ smite). You can't really kill him until you get form.”
today ill feed enemy team says “He is one of the champions can 1v1 you fairly in level 6, before it, just try do don't get cheesed by his abilities and you can kill him easy peasy lemon squeezy.”
radecki says “At this moment hes one of the best junglers, so thats not that easy. You have to be careful with his W, that can stun you. His ult counters yours, but when you hit your W on him there shouldnt be problem to kill him.”
GROFITEER says “AP breaks this build, even with all of your damage. avoid AP. not only that, but with cc, slows, and an ulti that can save him from your onslaught he is a force to be reckoned.”
SirZeros says “He has too much outplay potential for you, but he can't really deny you from farming if you won't get poked down, so just farm safely, and it'll be pretty easy to get to late game.”
Yuki H. says “Whoever gets the jump on first will most likely win the duel, decided mostly by whether or not Ekko lands his W to stun you. Since he is AP, your dueling potential is not helped much with your E. However, his early clear is not the best, which means you are capable of invading if your lanes have priority, securing an advantage by counterjungling or killing him in his jungle.”
TheFalco62 says “Skill matchup. He will be trying to Q spam your minion wave lvl 1 in order to shove it in, and get safe CS. This makes it hard to harass him with Q, so you can try push the wave as fast as you can. If you are experienced in this matchup, you will have a feeling of when ekko will use his Q(Or when he decides to animation cancel it) on you. If you manage to dodge it, you can fight him(GO HAM)! Just be aware when he goes out of vision, as most Ekko players will be looking to land a W(stun) on you.”
Xavier Senori says “Ekko is annoying to play against during lane, as his MS makes it hard to land Qs, his shield makes it impossible to make your damage stick, and his ult makes all the harass you put into him obsolete. His early pushing power is weak, so push him into tower to force him to lose CS and deny him the ability to roam. ”
pixelhidef says “Ekko isn't picked as jungler often, but he can dominate you at nearly every stage of the game. I wouldn't ban him for it though, just play with your team and you should win overall. Don't duel.”
The Jhin Cena says “Ekko is a super cancer champ that you will likely hate when facing with Fizz. Whether they're a good Ekko or mediocre, facing one can be triggering. The main reason Ekko is so cancer is because of his ult. A scenario where you're 1v1ing Ekko could vary. A good Ekko would wait until you blew all your CDs, and then Ult to heal himself to full health instantly, whilst doing half your health, and leaving you with no E to get away from combat with. A trash Ekko might Ult prematurely, yet at the same time his slippery Ekko behavior could cause you to screw up the aim of your ult on him. Facing an Ekko is tricky, and with my experience against one, you don't necessarily lose the lane, but Ekko's ult can prevent you from ever getting as fed as you'd hope. Not only is his Ult annoying, but early game he will throw his Q at you over and over which will be tiring to dodge and force you to passively CS. Additionally, if Ekko E's on you right as you Ult, he'll ruin the damage + slow since he teleports right next to you. I can't recommend any sort of advanced strategy when fighting an Ekko, just use your combo on him and hope for the best. Also take note of when he Ults, if you see he has Ulted recently, then take advantage of that and engage before he has it up again. Ekko without his Ult is a pretty easy matchup that can be dealt with just like most other squishies.”
hipstersora says “Melee! Launch those Ws. When he's low and running, try to bait him into ulting back. E out of his ult's AoE range, and kill him.
If ahead though he'll have a shield the size of your healthbar and can kill you in 3 autos. Just try to not let that happen. Use your E after he's on top of you, not a second sooner.”
AgreeableOtter says “In this matchup you have to rely on his mistakes.
Do not take any trades with him, let him start the trades. When he E's on you, just place W behind yourself and Q E him. He loses every trade that way.”
Shderen says “Me being an Ekko main, I can comfortably say that any decent Ekko will obliterate a Soraka, seeing that he is incredibly useful against immobile mages. His combo will often find a way to be used before your silence - all you've really got is the fact he nearly always pushes up and is susceptible to ganks from good junglers. Every Ekko is on the lookout for the Q that they've used for waveclear also nicking you and leaving two stacks of his passive. If that does happen, they will literally FIEND for an E. Acknowledge this and walk away. Also, every Ekko thinks they're slick with casting a W from fog of war. Ward bushes, and be wary - it will hurt.”
Ethereal Ezio says “Ekko's cc, poke and ult make him difficult to fight and kill. He can dash to you as well, so be safe and avoid in teamfights. Remember to W if he tries to Ult on top of you.”
NocUout says “This ends up becoming a skill matchup, just poke and play safe, and for all ins ignite before he ults so he gets reduced healing from ult. ”
LePlay says “"Hey, his E is a dash and can be blocked, so he should be easy to play against, right?" Wrong! His Q slow can keep you entirely from reaching him, his W stuns you completely and his R deals ridiculous amounts of damage. The only way to effectively combat him is to avoid his passive´s stacks and to stun him for as long as possible, since he his unable to use his R in that time”
drunken hunter says “Ekko got some nice dmg but he cant really trade with Rengar because of the battle roar (W) that gives you health back. Try dodge his (Q), do the early poke and engage. If he is lvl 6, dont kill him too fast and watch ou for his stun area. You got to kill him (after lvl 6) slowly... ”
onetrick zed 11111 says “dodge his Q shove in waves wait till he has no mana bait his R before you R also if you ignite before he uses R he doesn't heal as much. depending on the ekko skill this match up can get hard.”
Optimal Pancake says “Can zone with his Q and W, escape with his E and R. Passive gives him burst, which can potentially screw up when you decide to ult. Play this carefully.”
Violzandre says “Again, like almost every champ, you only need to get the advantage farming.
If you don't avoid his stun or his R, you can be in problems.
But it's not THAT difficult!! just do it, simple.”
TricolorStar says “If you're caught by Ekko, the fight is not in your favor. You can peel yourself by using Allure, but extended fights with him will always end in your death unless you can surprise him with an Allure > Empowered Whiplash combo.”
Prenora says “Ekko is in the same boat as Ahri, keep him wasting his mana, and at a distance, try to force him under tower as he has a hard time farming there. Keep him at a distance because, allowing him to get too close can end up in his favor not yours”
Prenora says “Ekko similar to talon but his shield ability has a pretty high CD, if you aren't caught in the shield stun, let ekko go in, then once he tries to run, counter with your own combo, you'll win the trade.
”
undeadsoldiers says “Avoid his Q in lane.
Other than his Q poke you can bully him quite a bit, but be careful of a level 2 or 3 engage with Q, E, and Ignite.
If he Es to you, you can put him to sleep.
You can also try to predict his R with a bubble, but try not to chase after him when he has his R because he can just warp right back to you and combo you.
Suggested: Exhaust if you feel you need it”
macspam says “Be very cautious of Ekko's level 2 or 3 combo and keep your distance even in the early game. He's very slippery and mobile and if you get a lucky stun on him. blow your full combo without question.”
Salmon Kid says “Ekko has very similar MS to Lillia throughout all phases of the game which sucks in terms of fighting him, but he cannot farm nearly as fast and gets outscaled in late fights.”
Hazardist says “Ekko is very mobile, tough to burst down without Crowd Control and his burst damage can be surprisingly high sometimes. This matchup revolves around not engaging first and letting him burn his cooldowns, after which he won't be a treat to you and you can zone him off or force him to retreat with his ultimate ability.
Runeset to take: Conqueror.”
MannerlessNG says “Dangerous.
If you W, he'll just drop his stun right on your head and destroy you. If you roll him, he'll just ult and run away or destroy you now that you have no CD's.
He's fantastic at chasing and an excellent ganker at all times in the game.
If you can hold off using W until after he uses his, then you'll win if he isn't too fed.
Use your E to get rid of him if he's doing the stun combo and definitely try dodge it all together with W if its possible.
He's just an overall menace and rapidly feeds on your team.”

Tips Against Ekko in Mid Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
22automail says “simple matchup, destroy him pre 6 and you're good. Only reason it isnt a tiny threat is because hes quite fast and can run quickly and when he is 6 hes quite hard to kill. Dodge his Q and dont let him proc his passive, or catch him when his Q is on CD and nuke him.
You destroy him in a side lane if played well.”
Aresia says “He will most likely make his move on you when your out of mega, be careful when little gnar as he will attempt to poke you, you will outpoke him with your Q if you aim it right which will prevent engagements.”
Skill enjoyer says “Riot decides the outcome of the match before the game even starts, so you don't really have any influence on the game because Riot won't let you win anyway if you have a similar relationship with Riot as I do.
”
KomariLoL says “Block his Q with Wind Wall and don't let him proc his 3 hit passive, and you should auto win this matchup.
Just be careful not to get stunned by his W because that is a free full combo for him. Sometimes what Ekko players do is they walk into fog of war to hide their W animation, so be careful whenever they step out of vision in lane.”
Gabbyzin says “Por que é counter?
Te bursta e depois ulta pra curar tudo
Esquiva fácil de Tibbers com dash ou ult
Como lidar?
Abusa do seu poke antes dele fechar o primeiro item
Bota MR + Zhonya, sempre guarda o stun
Se ele ultar, recua e reengaja com Tibbers depois”

Event Horizon says “Really hard lane, almost impossible to trade with Ekko. Hail of blades Ekko with his passive movespeed makes him the Garen of midlane with the non-interactive playstyle. Be respectful and back off if you hear him use W. I recommend a defensive summoner instead of TP in this lane. Be careful with Zhonya against Ekko as it can set up his W or R. Ekko also scales quite well for an assassin making this harder than most assassin matchups.”
Zewrocktumbler says “kinda even if hes good he will level up ult last second and kill you if your not careful enough if his mediocre then you can hide yourself so he couldnt get 3 stacks of his he eats mana early game so try to punish that or any other mistake”
Divine Azir says “Ekko has vey high enagge range with E, and will ty to all in you early with flash + ignite. Always dodge his Qs, especially the return, and punish his cooldowns. Save your E for his W. It takes a while to activate, so you will always have time to W E out. After level 6, keep track of his echo. If he tries to get on you, you can ult him into turret to force out his ultimate.”
AuroraAddict says “Ekko is not hard to play against in lane just be carefull of level 1 trade with hail of blades level 2 and 3 are good for you cause you can outrade him just try to not get catched by he's w and you will be good (be carefull he might do it out of vision), electrocute and teleport are
good against ekko.”
BesXbola says “A good Ekko player will try to bait you in his W when he engages you. If he Es you just empowered W him and walk away.
If he happens to hit you twice with his Q or E + auto just walk off, you dont want him to proc his passive otherwise you will most likely lose the trade.”
TheRealYashas says “skill based matchup, if he fights you inside the wave, itll be difficult to trade back effectively since you need to land W to trade combos.”
GAMING ACADEMY says “This matchup isn't as difficult as it seems; you can bully him throughout the lane. However, be cautious not to waste your stun. The key to handling this is using your ultimate for poke, so he can't negate the damage with his own ult. Phase Rush is also quite effective in this matchup.”
v0ltage38 says “Bone plating + scaling HP. You out waveclear, out poke, and out scale. As with most melees, EQ wave when he goes in for farm. If you react fast enough, EW his dash before he blinks and you can dump spells on him. Once he hit lvls 8-9 his roam is very dangerous so keep your team aware with pings. Another spike would be Rocketbelt if he builds it. Be wary of his range. ”
Cepatrol says “if he has ignite have to be careful of his lethal, take earlygame runes such as aery and electro, have to pool before his E magnetizes on you, try slowpush waves and harass”
Tamikaze says “I would put Ekko in even matchup, but his noncommittal trades make the lane quite difficult. E + Auto + Q and out (with his passive move speed). If you can, play outside the range of his dash. If he can not dash on you, he can't proc the passive on you. Be wary of his dive potential. He can take a very unfavorable trade, but then ult out immediately to turn it into a favorable trade. Additionally, if he roams be careful about his W stun. It is a 2.25 sec stun and almost always guarantees a kill on you. If you think it's going to stun, just immediately dash out of it or flash if needed. It's not worth dropping a kill for eating his stun. ”
j4ss says “Assassins are tricky but he can't do much against your poke. Go comet, max W, and rush your AD Items, you can even go Opportunity + Berserker's to crush him in lane and make him useless.”
Tatsurion says “A GOOD ekko will give you a run for your money.
RARELY will you see one and RARELY will it be on midlane, this is one of the rare instances where taking conq is a bad idea, since he is beyond fast and mobile, and likes to farm with his Q.
A harsh lane. But lategame is yours.”
MachineHeraldTTV says “Runes: [Aery][Scorch/Gathering](Boneplating)(ShieldBash)
Summs: [Flash][Teleport]
Counter with: [Verdant Barrier]
*play with poke when he tries to cs, if he goes in for a trade you kite back and hit back. shouldn't be a problem. once he gets enough ap to oneshot you get [Verdant Barrier]*”
Vladmidir says “Be careful of his lvl 3 damage, but as long as you have minion advantage you hard win trades. Make sure to ping his roams and take platings when he does. You don't outroam him so don't try to. Sit mid and play consistent. Pool when he gets on top of you”
GreenReapers says “Any page viable. If you want to fight aggressively don't go first strike.
He has lots of pressure on you, especially when he takes HoB.
When he procs his passive he get's a massive movement speed boost and wins trades more reliably so try to let him get that as little as possible!
If you play around his W and do your best not to let him proc his passive you should be able to outtrade him.”
Fessor ivern twitch says “ENG:
EKKO YOU MUST BE CAREFUL WITH HIM, HE MOVES VERY FAST AROUND THE MAP, AND CAN EASILY JUMP ON YOU AND FINISH YOU.

BrMario1011 says “if he tries to go on to you, just explode him lol, you outdamage and sustain him, and you can camp him very easily, also late game you can kill him very easily and force his ult lol”
TwTv Akai_Tv says “[PTA] play PTA + Boneplate and dont let his Q proc your boneplate, if he ever goes in while Boneplate is up he should lose the trade. Try to harass him for every CS he shouldnt be able to do anything until he has enough points in Q to oneshot your wave.”
sick204 says “When facing Ekko as Yasuo, certain strategies can help you navigate the matchup more effectively. Respect Ekko's burst potential and mobility with his abilities, especially his E and ultimate. Use Yasuo's E to dodge Ekko's skill shots and minimize damage taken. Be cautious of Ekko's W , which provides a stun and shield, making it dangerous for Yasuo to engage recklessly. Utilize Wind Wall to block Ekko's Q in trades and team fights to reduce his poke and damage output. Engage on Ekko when his abilities are on cooldown or when he's low on health, as he relies on his cooldowns for both damage and survivability. Consider building items like Hexdrinker or Maw of Malmortius to mitigate Ekko's burst damage and magic output.”
SkandalloTV says “Very skill based. Hard to kill. However, you can farm pretty safe and you have as much good wave clear as him to roam. Focus on playing team fights instead of 1v1 him, just cause he can easily dodge stuff with his E and negate your damage with his ult.”
otaliz says “Ekko has better push than Twisted Fate, which is rare. But you still have your ultimate to follow him when he roams. Try to poke him in the early levels, especially pre-level 3. If you use W on the wave, he will have the opportunity to trade in lane, be careful. Be aware that Ekko can do a lot of damage when he has 3 points on Q, so be careful with his possible level 5 and 6 all-ins. ”
PhantasmEUW says “[PTA] play PTA + Boneplate and dont let his Q proc your boneplate, if he ever goes in while Boneplate is up he should lose the trade. Try to harass him for every CS he shouldnt be able to do anything until he has enough points in Q to oneshot your wave.”
michaliis says “Go Dorans Blade. Skill Match up. Its really not bad but really annoying ult. Go all in when he doesnt have his ult. If he has it, dont go you will do nothing.”
Laimaudeja says “I would use the Summon Aery page in this lane, and start Doran's Ring.
An Ekko with Electrocute is much more manageable, especially since he's more likely to start with Q, making his Level 1 much weaker and letting you play more aggressively. Apply the advice mentioned above.”
Yannou-Ari says “Flash - TP - Flat HP.
Start Q. Be careful he took hail of blade runes, because he will most likely start E and try to chunk you lvl 1. His damage can be surprisingly high early on if he reaches you with his E. Later in the game he has a very fast waveclear with his Q, which is bad for you until you get 5 points in E. After 6, if you ever hit a Q on him, don't hesitate to ult to chunk him, if he ults to regen, you're winning because your ulti has a lower cd than his.”
ShokLoL says “unishing cooldowns is very important against Ekko in the early game. His only trading tool is also his only waveclear tool so you should make him choose between clearing the wave or trading with you by positioning correctly. If you are playing against hail of blades Ekko, be careful of his level 1 cheese with e start. Your goal is to get to level 6 without falling too far behind then you should be able to ult him into tower and trade ultis with him.”
ShokLoL says “Punishing cooldowns is very important against Ekko in the early game. His only trading tool is also his only waveclear tool so you should make him choose between clearing the wave or trading with you by positioning correctly. If you are playing against hail of blades Ekko, be careful of his level 1 cheese with e start. Boneplating can help you against this if you want to take it. He will have a stronger lane but won’t scale as well overall. Phase rush is very useful for disengaging from trades or for chasing down with auto attacks.

Against Ekko you can bring either Conqueror or First Strike depending on how aggressive you want to be in the early game. You can also consider Phase Rush if he has a strong ganking jungle or support.
”
Soft Headpats says “> Take E at level 1 or 2. Ekko is an annoying matchup later on but is fairly manageable in lane. The main issue with Ekko is his E. Even if you EQ him as he jumps on you, his E can still go through depending on the timing since there's a slight delay before he blinks. As long as you properly EQ him after he's blinked, he won't be able to proc his passive, allowing you to trade back and at least go even. Oftentimes, you can even win the trade this way.
> He is extremely dangerous with Hail of Blades since he can simply E at you off CD (Ekko E is 9 sec at rank 1) and quickly proc his passive.
> He has a ton of waveclear with his Q, so you need to force him to use it on you or make sure you match his waveclear so that he can't roam freely.
> Keep track of his CDs, and beware of W's from fog. Even if his W doesn't land on you, it lingers for some time which he can use to shield himself and trade with you. A single bad trade can leave you vulnerable to dives with his ult.
> Ekko players sometimes delay putting a point into their ult until right before they need to use it, masking the location of their ult indicator and catching people off guard. Keep track of this once he hits 6.”
blacklikeblack says “Use q if he jumps onto you to win trades. Pretty good Matchup overall, because you will trades if he engages onto you. Electrocute is a good rune against him because he has to engage onto you.”
ShokLoL says “Punishing cooldowns is very important against Ekko in the early game. His only trading tool is also his only waveclear tool so you should make him choose between clearing the wave or trading with you by positioning outside of the wave and look to move forward when his Q is on CD. You can hold E defensively as well so he can't E onto you freely.”
SoyCleric says “If you fail to kill him with your R, he will Ult and heal all the damage you just did. Also he can use his shield/stun ability when you go all in.”

”
Deceiver_euw says “Pretty easy matchup for LeBlanc. Only time he can conest LeBlanc is if he goes HoB and looks to E you lvl1 and cheese you. Your response to this should be starting E lvl1 and you will end up winning the trade if you hit the E and fight him in your minion wave.”

InTaggar says “ENG: Ekko is a rare matchup, normally played on JG but u can see on mid too, he just always win and a good player of ekko usually is a cheater with the fog of war.
Try not to get hit with his E, have a good vision for the rotates and when u evolve your E, push him to gain priority. Poke him to death.
Runes: if u feel confident go with Aery + Inspiration, if u didnt go Aery with Resolve.
Spells: TP/Barrier.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
ESP: Ekko es un enfrentamiento poco común, normalmente se juega en JG, pero también se puede ver en mid, él siempre gana y un buen jugador de ekko generalmente es un tramposo con la niebla de la guerra.
Intenta no ser golpeado con su E, ten una buena visión para las rotaciones que él haga (sobretodo para que no te de con su W) y cuando evoluciones tu E, empújalo para que gane prioridad. Pockealo lo máximo posible.
Runas: Si te sentís confite andá con Aery + Inspiración, sinó andá con Aery + Valor.
Spells: TP/Barrier.”
MasaruYoni says “If you are against a Ekko play safe against 3 cause he will try to do E+Q+AA to activate passive and Electrocute making you take a lot of dmg, if he use E on you, spare some dmg with W and use E on side to try to dodge his Q return”
Kikife says “As an AP burst mage, ekko is hard to deal with in lane. Once he uses his W, make sure that you run to either side of the lane and E back to tower, or predict where it'll land using your lane position. If you over extend too far and he hits a Q, you're most likely going to die to his E combo or take too much HP damage to stay in lane and lose plates / farm.”
gaarrett says “Don't stand in his W and this should be a free lane. You get outscaled because Ekko spikes harder with items, but your early pressure is much better. [5/5] ultimate, provides an extra layer of security when you take risky plays. Remember to cast it before you get CC'd otherwise you'll die and your teammates will spam ping your ult. ”
MukiiBaa says “If you let him E Q you you will lose but if you fight him when these abilities are on cooldown you will beat him pre 6 hard. Post 6 he is annoying to deal with but ryalais will help your team to lock him down faster”
149Gray says “Just perma trade with him and don't let him hit the wave lvl 1, pool his passive proc if needed, and respect his E when your pool is on cd.”
ImVoxxX says “Don't get poked too much by his Q and bait his R after lvl 6.
Don't waste your R before him unless you actually need it.
You can easily kill him before 6.”
ExodusBlue says “Farm w WE>QE>EE(Drag in). If he dashes into you w/o his W down you can EQ>QQ his face. If he dashes into w his W down WQ/WW get to a better position and look for EE/EQ>QQ/QE. Do not push to his side it makes it very easy for his W to land”
Axsanea says “[EN]
Uff, tricky but easy if you know how, he shouldn't be able to kill you if you play properly, try to avoid taking dmg without trading back, cause' if you get to low in early then he will ignite you + all-in and you won't be able to heal back ending up killing you, after level 6 try to use your "E" when he is low to avoid using his "R"
[ES]
No deberia de poder matarte si lo juegas de manera correcta, trata la manera de evitar estar bajo de vida, porque de ser asi, si intentas sorprender con tu ignite + "W" no te curaras nada y terminaras muriendo por ello. Luego de nivel 6 simplemente, trata de utilizar tu "E" cuando este bajo de vida asi puedes matarle y no dejar que utilize su "R". ”
wundrew says “Set up daggers on the ground with Q and jump on them when Ekko Q's the wave. Don't let him get 3 passive hits, you can jump away with shunpo if needed.”
SurferKiller says “I ban him if Sylas was already banned. Dodge this matchup if you can. There's not much you can do vs Ekko besides trying your best to survive. Avoid fighting him unless he has used his ult, he's still unlikely to kill, but you have a bigger shot at it.”
CulturalYokai says “his ultimate is just annoying, you can beat him 1v1 but he will comeback like nothing, dont let this discourage you thought, just try to not push vs ekko jg, ekko mid/top try killing pre 6 you should be strong enough to do that, late game dont push without vision”
KazunaSan says “Peu tanky en early, il ne peut pas vous trade car vous avez un E pour le cancel, très squishy, il vous suffit de mettre un full combo pour le OS en lane attention à ne pas trop le laisser roam et esquivez son W et ça sera free”
FrostbiteMW says “Pretty easy lane, just harass him when he is coming for his minions. He does not have high kill threat, so just relax. When stunned he can not ult so try to burst him quickly.”
OwnerofHappiness says “A smart Ekko will E on you to trade in lane. Once he has ult, play defensive, farm, wait for teamfights. If his ult is down, you should be safe to ult him under your tower”
Shinbae says “Никогда не пытайся кидать в упор сон, когда он прокнул перекат от ешки, он её спокойно доджит, замедление от кушки также является большой угрозой для Зои..
Тут поможет умение читать его вешку(поле) и наносить урона больше, чем он тебе за то же время”
Austinluv says “Ekko has always been a pop goes the weasel champion, he can go in and go out and if the Ekko knows what he's doing he can easily dodge or just ignore your charm and kill you within a few seconds. And with Ekkos ability to easily tower dive your not always very safe”
Wizboy73 says “Very rough matchup, take defensive runes and care for his E, if he wastes it, punish him for it, play around it cause its how he can win the matchup. ”
Hexeria says “[Pretty easy, dont get hit by his Q, watch out for his W cast and cast your W if he does manages to get you with all 3 stacks of his passive, to reduce the burst damage.] [Use all your Stuns if he gets low, so he cant cast his Ult.]”
Xoe_LOLTH says “I give him EVEN-Threat because he is not strong like a past when he use E we need to keep Sleep ( E ) wait Ekko hit us and use E to him even he using R he still sleep at his clone
If we using Sleep ( E ) before he hit us the Sleep will floating past him
*** Ward the bush maybe he will hide and using W to kill you”
Halkem says “He has insane wave clear to match yours, but you counter him a lot as a champion and in fights. For laning just care lv1, he can E start and jump at your over and over again, so you have to respect. If he starts Q it's fine just space away from it. Care to not R in his W, unless you can kill him before his stun connects.”
liqulabouse says “This matchup is hard mainly because of the clear abilty of ekko with is Q and the fact that is E can go throught your R if he cast him at the good time. Also he can follow you easily. Good to know that his E can go through your R.”
TrueGIXERJ says “freebie matchup, you can happily dodge every Q he throws and not get stunned by standing AFK in his W - avoid ganks because his setup is pretty good but you win most trades against him - and pretty much every fight, try and bait R before using your own for optimal winning.”
The Milelator says “Early game you have better wave clear and you can trade him pretty fairly, if you hit your Q stun. He will never kill you, unless you mess up. He will try to push waves with his Q once he has enough ap and roam. Either take wave, roam too or alert your teammates and take towers (ofc not when your team fights in a 5v5 drake/herald/baron).”
Hikkinnado says “Rly game bully, keep weave under tower and hope jg permaganks you till he get 6. Afterwards, look out to deny his roams, and oneshot him when he doesnt have r.”
WarwicksSimp says “Fuck this champion lol
Dodge or ban it, Ekko is broken and there's nothing you can do about it. You can cc chain him though in teamfights and go tank peel build for team if your team comp allows for it and you won't have an issue. Try your best not to feed him early or mid game. Play smart.”
Anth0ny_Azir says “Skill Matchup. Haven't played against this much. Low kill potential because of his R. Gotta poke him down for an all-in so he doesn't regain his entire HP bar. Biggest piece of advice is that spacing is your best friend, because the way ekko does all of his dmg is by getting on top of you with his E, so if you space well it will be a very easy matchup.”
FrostbiteMW says “You can punish him early game, since he isnt that strong in that phase. Try to be careful with your Q tho, since he can jump in when you miss it. He cant touch you tho, because if he jumps in you can just Q him.”
Tokiyami says “Very easy lane for Akali, always go for early game trades try to abuse him as much as possible because all he wants to do is just farm and scale for mid late game. If he does try to hit you with his E you can time his E with your E and hit him as he dashes to you.”
Yannik123 says “If you dont go melee you win early trades. You can oneshot him if nobody wakes him up. If he ults you know his next position so you can try to throw your e there.”
Lindroganti says “As long as you block something, you win. His poke is stronger level 1, but if you take W you can actually win with ignite in an all in. Ignite him before he ults, and block in his direction to block his Q.”
support_diff says “Don't let Ekko farm and control the lane, your ult basically ruins his game as his combos won't do any damage. If you don't get caught in his W you should be fine”
Fuzzmonkey says “Avoid getting poked by his q and avoid his w stun. overall you will win an all in, just make sure not to be in his blast radius of his ult after 6.”
Shark of Void says “You duel him, so you're free to counter-jangle. The main thing is that he does not evade your Q with the help of R, and then you will win.”
craciant says “Ekko's mobility and ability to reverse time in the middle of your combo makes him a challenge. All the ability haste in this build will allow you to stand a chance.”
sullyyylol says “This champion is just not balaned. This lane is Ekko favored but you can win early if you avoid passive procs. At 6 he just gets a free second chance and becomes fairly impossible to solo. ”
N1comagno03 says “You should be fine against him, but if he succesfully hides his stun it could be a tricky lane for you.
His mobility with e is also a threat.”
Ankha Yuumi says “Just like with Diana, keep your distance and don't get hit by his Q, and you should be fine. If he decides to engage on you without landing his Q, using only his three autos, use W in the direction he'll retreat, while continuously hitting him with Q.”
tangerrine says “A decently even matchup, I recommend Comet and just trying to poke him out early game, as you can do more damage than him. Counter his E with your EQ and try to W out of his W or Q. Play safe after level 6 because his ult can just heal your whole combo and ping his roams. Just take plates when he does roam and make more pressure on him. ”
RIZENIXv14 says “Realy hard matchup on mid his passive is very strong against sett pick E then W and you should kill him maybe. try to use e after he gets his passive on you.”
Zero macro says “Ekko the melee assassin is an easy matchup for Caitlyn. Whenever Ekko decides to engage with his E, Caitlyn should respond in time with Caitlyn E to stop Ekko his Passive. When this occurs Caitlyn has control over the fight. Thereby Caitlyn has a strong early into Ekko his weak early. Falling behind in this matchup will make things way harder, whenever ekko gains access on protobelt !!!”
BigFatCat909 says “Though Ekko's ultimate completely negates Zed's, without either of them using Ult Zed is stronger throughout laning phase making this matchup not as hard as same may assume.”
1st fizz on mars says “50 50 mathcup all depends how u play i like this matchup and good it it , dodge his passive and e
dont go in just fish wait he r and then full cast or combo e with your r knock up so he cant ult if he is smart and high elo can be problems ”
Zero macro says “Ekko has a strong trading pattern with his Passive + E + Q combined with a movement speed buff finishing the Passive. This should be denied while being in lane with him by Kog'Maw. Thereby Kog'Maw will gain more range into the dangerious assassin Ekko style of gameplay.”
AngeReaper says “Playstyle like an Assassin, and stick on him, take your Grasp as a mini Electrocute with 4 sec CD and give you sustain but stay healthy until lvl 3 ”
Braimyy says “Need to play this match up more but this match up is mostly about vision control. Similar to the vlad match up he isn't super hard but if he gets a lead it is pretty un playable as he can dive you without much issue.”
Hot Eboy Xerath says “Ekko is soo boring. So most high elo Ekko just perma farm with Q and roam and never even try to fight you. But if you find a aggresive one its fairly simple. If he E towards you should be really ez to stun and walk away. Don't get hit by his q in lane should be really ez to dodge. Be outside the wave so he has to decide on Qing you or the wave. ”
Wizardd says “He has a lot of wave clear. But yours is better early game. Look to get poke while you clear the minions if the opportunity arises. He might try to go in front of the minions to stop you from clearing if he does this use the e and just poke him. He can't do this for long and will have no choice but to back off. Be patient it's okay to miss some minions if he does this. Don't trade your hp for minions.”
IggyBoom says “When Ekko engages on you with his E, you can surely knock him up with a self W, also your CC can make his ult useless if you have enough burst.”
freuio123 says “Ich hasse das Matchup. Seine E ist ein Teleport, kann also nich abgebrochen werden, seine early push ist tatsächlich besser als deins, er kann gut mit roamen und outscaled irgendwann.
Ist trotzdem kein sooooo großer Threat wenn du das respektierst. Am Ende ist es ein Melee Champ, den man mit Jungler punishen sollte.”
uwuimsocute says “Kinda weird Matchup, if you play LT the matchup in lane is even since he can easily proc electrocute and run away - if you take HoB the matchup is easier since the trades are better for you.
Just play for scaling, he cannot do anything in lane against you except you are getting catched by one of his Ws.”
qkthr1 says “post lvl 6 is hard for you but before it should be even. i never see ekko mid anymore. get your jungler to camp your lane to get you ahead and you win”
Anguish333 says “- Dodge both of his Qs, and be careful of his E when his Q comesback (he will try Procing 2 stacks of his passive at the same time by dashing to you with E and Q
- Make sure you time your E right, he can blink on you dodging it
- Don't trade when he casts W ( he will get huge shield, you can go Shadowflame vs him)
- Use ignite when you think he will Ult to reduce heal from it”
Painters says “Skill match up. Watch and respect his ult trail. Often times they will throw their W from out of vision, so keep good vision and be aware of potential stuns.”
Y0rhm says “Highy mobile with his E dash and blink + R rewind mechanic. His W shield and R rewind make it hard to oneshot him. (Will roam and farm your botlane on repeat, no matter how much you ping them)”
Cryniu says “Keep your distance and poke him in key moments. Remember dodge his shield-camp and use your ultimate when he is about to kill you or your allies. Mercury's treads could help you if you are having problems but I recommend to play to damage him.”
Wraithlander says “Try to not let him get his passive off and you will win early trades. You beat him at all stage of the game until super late when he can one shot you. You are essentially a better version of Ekko with his ult.”
WelcomeToLosersQ says “Utilize Neeko's E (Tangle-Barbs): Ekko's mobility comes from his E (Phase Dive). Try to predict his dashes and root him with your E, setting up for your combos or trading favorably.
Jungle Assistance and Vision: Coordinate with your jungler for assistance. Neeko's crowd control can set up ganks effectively. Maintain vision to prevent ganks and track Ekko's movements.”
TB Azir says “Kolay matchup fakat eğer gerçekten biliyorsa Q'larının etrafında oynayıp sizi zonelayarak lane'i ittirmeye çalışıp sağa sola movelamayı deneyecektir. Asla E açısı vermeyin ve Q'ları yemeyip paso dürtün. 6 levelden sonra base atıp ultisiyle lane'e geri gelebiliyor bu ufak trick'i de unutmayın🤙🏻
Rün: PTA”
South Z says “90% of Ekko's damage comes from his E, and you can block it, like against Hecarim. Getting his passive proc will be a hassle for him because of this, and you can stun -> HoB him to prevent him from ulting.”
kaiba77 says “Very easy matchup if played correctly, considered a hard Ekko counter. If youre going to get stunned by his W, just shroud. If he hits you with his E auto, e him and force the trade. Use ignite before he ults. Take Bone Plating and avoid standing in your minions.”
ardizzle says “You're blind can make his passive not proc.
Ekko's like to hide on the side of the lanes to get a surprise stun off. If it works, you usually die. If it fails, you have some time for a good trade, just watch out for his Q.”
Edwwardo says “There's little he can do against you except for suprise you with a rewirnd if you're not paying attention and go all in. Don't let him bait you and you should be fine.”
Nooldles says “Ekko needs to farm with his Q against Sylas, since he can't walk up to aa them. If he uses Q, it will be pushing automatically to you, which is what you want in melee vs melee matchups. Also he used his main damage and trading spell on the wave so now you can zone him off with your superior trading and damage. Rinse and repeat (essentially perma freeze).”
AnxialSociety says “Electrocute impact eyeball choice. Absolute gathering.
You can R his e.
You can't kill him in his ult, and he just shoves you in and tries to get the jump on you.
Deal with him pre-6 and play to scale.
Consider banshees.”
Deru says “Easy stomp lane, he's very weak early on so abuse that. Your w stops his e and ult so later in mid/late game keep an eye on using w on him to burst ekko with your team since he can't ult out.”
Deru says “Easy stomp lane, he's very weak early on so abuse that. Your W stops his E and ult so later in mid/late game keep an eye on using W on him to burst Ekko with your team since he can't ult out.”
MiniLuxi1 says “Makes a roll, and then through AA can teleport to you (E), save your Q, for control, it's better to move away right away because his W, gives him a shield and stuns enemies in its radius, also it may not be noticeable from the first seconds, but it is audible. Keep your distance. After 6, you are unlikely to be able to kill him, because he regenerates health and becomes elusive for a long time, and also deals damage on return to his hologram.”
StralekS says “Not Kat Favored but Can win: Conqueror/ Resolve: vs Assassins, Ignite + Flash, Doran Shield/ Long Sword start. Play lane safely, farm, and when he wastes ability, punish him with all in combo. Full AP for higher win chances. Recommended BOTRK on start and then full AP or Sunderer rush.”
Samikin says “Minor-Threat
Ekko isn't an actual threat until his first item (Hextech Rocketbelt). Hold your E for when he ever tries to E into you, or you can try to E him and back off until it comes back up. continuously poke him with Q's until he's forced to back. If he ignores you and pushes the wave with multiple Q's, make sure you push him all the way back if you can after he uses Q or try to regain wave control by continuously thinning his wave with Q's and AA's.
Recommendation:
Aery (+ Ingenious Hunter) rune page
Crown of the Shattered Queen + Lich Bane OR Standard Luden's One-Shot Build”
rachichu says “Can all in you, but you can easily poke him down and trade ultimates.
JUNGLE: Being in the jungle removes the period of time that you beat him. Becomes a major threat.”
YourDreamWaifuu says “[Runes: Conqueror or Electrocute]
[Item: Long Sword]
[Mythic: Prowler or Eclipse]
[you must have lvl 6 first anyways you lost] [Dont ult him when he have R] [Try to poke him as much as possible so he dont get much XP]”
MetalK1d says “Ekko has big damage and can easily out trade you if you step into his W but you can easily fight back just combo him when he goes on you.”
hesentorki says “Usually way easier but he is just strong in the meta right now, deals so much damage for no reason. Careful for early trades and you win with items. Always windwall his Q either when he throws it or when it comes back”
Demonsedge90 says “Our time bender has tricks up his sleeve that we need to respect. Therefore only trigger scatter the weak sparingly as he's got so many ways to keep up with us. His q is an effective slow/gap-closer, and if he pairs an e & w combo, you'll be stunned and potentially be killed or forced to back out of the lane. Also, be mindful of committing to an all-in fight when he has an ult available, as it could negate your damage entirely. This matchup requires you to poke and stay away from him until your jungle can assist you in dealing with him.”
TwitchTv Kibbylol says “Hard in lane until you are good at vlad then its even. Ekko is a dogshit laner unless he can spam e in lane without getting destroyed and vlad is too weak to punish it in this case. Take w level 2 to pool before he procs passive, and play towards whatever playstyle your rune and summs setup can support best. He outscales on side but as expected you outscale on 5v5.”
Simelodeon says “I: Ludens/Crown/Everfrost
R: Standard/Defensiv
S: Barrier
Everfrost kann ihn davon abhalten mit Ult zurückzuspringen bevor deine W ihn stunnt.
Lass ihn nicht snowballen. Wenn er dich mit E engaged kannst du einfach deine W unter dich stellen und rauslaufen. Die meisten Ekkos haben nur ein Playpattern: 1. Wave mit Q clearen. 2. Außerhalb der Vision W nutzen um einen surprise stun into kill zu bekommen. 3. Roamen wenn das nicht klappt.
Deshalb push ihn einfach dauerhaft ein, bleib beim Tower wenn du ihn nicht siehst und warde ausreichend.”
Lucid Walking says “SAFE LANE: A midrange matchup where Soraka excels in if played correctly. Once you see him casting his Dash and you know you're about to get hit with it, preemptively cast Starcall on your own hitbox to guarantee hitting him.
(tip: if you can predict him using his Chronobeak, consider preemptively silencing him to shut him down)”
Mrobby says “Ekko is actually kind of easy to deal with on graves, just dodge his W, if he E's you he just put himself on your passives highest damage zone. and if you go hex drinker he has low chance of killing you even at low health.”
AriFr0mThe3nd says “Meh. He can become quite a big problem to you, but as long as you manage to dodge his Qs and charm him to burst the time-boy in the right situations, he won't be too dangerous. Be careful to not feed him though (Duhh.), because he can get super annoying, especially with his slows and the reverse ability.”
Balinthun873 says “One of Zed's biggest counters, cant really all in or poke him because of his E and R. Try outplaying him with your W since his E is kinda predictable.”
Spoomk says “His ultimate can be annoying, but you can emergency W out of his stun if necessary and engages on him can kill if you jump in when he's low. He can chase you well after an engage, so just make sure he's dead or you are very healthy before you fully commit.”
RuchaczSzmat69 says “He can destroy your barrel easily but it wastes his E, so you can just passive auto Q him and win every trade. Buy hexdrinker if he is causing problems.”
sapphire__lol says “Very easy matchup. You do the classic Zac melee trade. Walk up, use e in melee to hit for sure use q aa w and he is already outtraded. With this you also win push into him and later youre a big peeling machine against him. ”
Mvrshy says “[MID] Easy matchup, back off whenever he walks in a bush, farm till 6. when he hits 6 all ekko players like to towerdive for a free kill, you want to ult him and put your w on him and it stops all of his dashes including being able to press his R, simple matchup just dont be stupid
”
J.A.K.I.E. says “Weird champ who can poke you but is also an all in character???? Skill matchup honestly but I think the Vs all in route is best here. Dodge his q and W and wait for him to rush you.”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “Ekkos main source of damage comes from his Passive. Avoid letting him stack his Passive by dodging his Timewinder(Q) and standing outside his Phase Dive(E) range. Ekko will look to set up a Parallel Convergence(W) stun by walking out of vision. Be cautious of this and wait a few seconds after he appears again before trading with him. Ekko will look to constantly push the wave with his Q. Punish him whenever he uses it for waveclear by engaging in trades.”
Adamonias says “Very difficult lane; good gapclose and strong burst damage, he can dive you for free @6.
Try to avoid Q and freeze, he will have prio but at least you wont feed him.
Keep bushes warded and watch for cheeky W from bush. Like all assassins never follow blindly
Just try not to feed him, and poke him when it doesnt cost you any farm.”

SKYTOP. says “Take AP Burst Page.
Champ is Surprisingly Outplayable. You Win any sort of extended trade early as his passive doesn't do too much, but he can and probably will one shot you late game. However, it goes both ways, and a well timed and placed barrel on his ult location will remove him. A skill matchup that favors you early”

SkyBanana says “Though annoying, he can be punished if he dives on you. Echo E into Q and auto notes will let you out trade him if he missed his shield stun. Always know in lane he is looking for a pick so try not to make it so obvious where you are going. If needed, ask for help.”

NegativePhoenix says “Easy way to get into your face and all in you if you let him, which is mostly whenever he wants to engage you for poking him. Later in the game his damage is gonna mess you up so just be safe in lane phase and poke him when you know if he tries to E in on you it'll screw him over.”
Lightning_Ranger221100 says “he's hard to catch and can be very strong but he isn't the worst matchup. Wait for him to waste mana on using combos then poke him little by little. Only ult him if you know he used ult”
AkiraHopeXDDDD says “Ekko is a easy match up, If you can play it right use your W and try to pull it back when Ekko E's to dodge the 2nd W (most Ekko mains don't even do that) dodge his Q if possible.
also don't fight him during during his shield.
Healing reduction and Serpents can be a good item to buy.”
Body Those Fools says “Abuse your range because he's melee. Do your best to dodge his Q so he can't proc his passive; it does a LOT of damage and the slow is very annoying. He's very vulnerable after he uses his Q or E to farm so use that time to harass and zone him off cs. Ekko players will hide in the bush and try to W you in lane; just watch out for it or you will take a lot of damage, have to flash, or die. At level 6, Ekko will look to all-in you and you can just Ult him under your tower to trade Ults.”
Bughans says “CAN be majorly difficult, but can also get oneshot by you. If you land your full cc combo (r-w-aa-q) lategame, he WILL die. But if you don't finish him, you'll probably be the one to die. ”
lumihehe says “he sort of has a similar playstyle to you, where he just wants to farm and then win late. the turns table in this matchup, and you're gonna be the one bullying him early. (if you can do so without losing a cs or level lead, that is the most important thing here after all)
try to E out of his W before the stun comes down, and if you do that, then you typically beat him 1v1.”
Edex_StarsUpYourASol says “Early Game:
Laning phase should be a breeze as Ekko relies heavily on waveclearing asap with his 1st ability. Stay aside from the wave and poke him whenever he tries to clear.
You also shove harder than Ekko so Ekko struggles to roam without you following him.
When roaming, he will try to follow you so always gtfo after 10 seconds into the gank
Mid/Late Game:
Ekko is coinflippy as with Katarina, where he could either be a useless champion or snowball into one shotting everyone. Be the champion that prevents him from ever getting fed as you have many methods of keeping Ekko at bay in teamfights.”
KayyeN says “Not a great matchup for you. His damage output is constantly high and he is hard to get away from. Additionally, after Level 6, you can almost never finish him because of his R.”
L9 zangetsu says “very easy just dont get hit by stun and dont all in him while he has ult up just go for his adc or support and you'll usually come out on top of the fight ”
Errevandare says “Для кила ему надо много раз нажать прокаст в вас на линии, но сам прокаст легко предсказывается и доджиться. Если он не расфижен, то не представляет опасности на любой стадии игры. ”
ze kraken says “Not a biggie, as long as you dodge his ability. If he engages you can always disengage with your E and double Q him. You should win this lane. A lot of times Ekko's won't be able to ult due to the stun of your Q.”
Super08131208 says “Don't get stunned. If Ekko tries to E onto you, respond with your E. His R is the only problem as he can survive your all-ins and possibly turn the fight.
”
Zoose says “He will push hard early, so aim to push waves as well. As long as he doesn't land his W stun, you should come out ahead or even in trades. Watch out when he appears off screen or comes from a brush as he may be charging his W stun field. Avoid his 3 stack passive damage during trades. The first part of his E is a dash, the 2nd part is a blink. At lv 6, even if you land a full combo, he can negate your damage and then counter you. After 6, look to push waves and roam.”
CaptainBattlaxe says “Always stand on a barrel, poke with Q. If he jumps you, break barrel and auto + q him for passive damage. Ignite before he ults to reduce healing. Orange the stun or for healing.”
V1kt0r555 says “[Rune Keystone: Aftershock or Phase Rush]
[Summoner Spell: Teleport or Exhaust]
[Starting Item: Doran's Ring or Corrupting Potion]
[Trade him whenever he wants to trade you]
[Don't let him free roam]”
basrty1p says “His skill is quite a lot of damage as he looks. Even if you try to cast E on him, he can just press R and leaves you.
So you should play around his R to makes him unplayable.”
lolzayno says “Has insane wave clear and will push you in to gain full control of the lane. Don't let him shove lane 24/7 because then he will get opportunities to surprise you with his W.”
Azurio says “Really weak in lane, you can abuse him with ignite. Just care about his protobelt burst and dodge his W. Smoke him when he E and keep an eye on his ult position.”
ddieguito_es says “Look Diana in major counters. Same for Ekko, except that he's a bit easier to beat and you NEVER need exhaust vs him. His dash and W is predictable, and you can R before he predicts his R (it's an execute!)”
beansoce says “Harrass him early, don't let him walk up early to clear waves. If he ults before your ult goes off the damage still goes through, also ignite him this will reduce the healing from his ult and get you a kill.”
Bunny Kata says “Not much of a threat, just know that he can burst you if you're not careful. If you can build some MR, he will do nothing against you.
Ignite-TP + Doran's Blade”
Billbo Dabbins says “Second highest winrate into Ziggs behind Neeko. Seen more in the jungle than midlane nowadays but still someone to be careful of with his gap close abilities.”
Berdasco9 says “Skill matchup, aun así esta un poco mas inclinado hacía Ekko tiene muchas herramientas para mitigar todo el daño que le puedas hacer en un all in y la velocidad de movimiento que le da su pasiva al prockear las 3 cargas le permite esquivar tus dagas o salirse fácilmente del rango de tu ulti, no hay una forma concreta de vencerle mas allá de outplayearle.”
Dazzther says “Your Q is faster than his, and he can't land his W, since you've gotten yours. When he E in, E out, and then fly back in. He is not able to play the lane, at all.”
V1kt0r555 says “[Rune Keystone: Summon Aery]
[Summoner Spell: Teleport or Exhaust or Barrier]
[Starting Item: Doran's Ring or Corrupting Potion]
[Dodge his Q]
[If he jumps on you, punish him back]”
donidaking says “swag boy!
He s melee you are ranged(POKE POKE POKE POKE AND MORE POKE), go electrocute into him and don t let him farm for free when he steps up just poke him.
If he has teleport poking him out can force his tp and result in him losing it with bad back since he doesn t have much gold.
What you need to be careful is if he goes electro level 3 his trade might actually hurt if he hits Q>E and passive on you.
Also watch out when he goes out of vision he might W and catch you out in it besides that if you play properly you beat him constantly.”
KyogoEntity says “Ekko is generally weak the first levels and it's very hard for him to trade into you because of Windwall and Lethal tempo. Avoid getting stunned by his W out of vision and trade with boneplating/passive up for more favorable trades. ”
Kato Taosaku says “Personally a matchup that I find very difficult because it is basically impossible to kill him if he's smart and waits to 6 before fighting. To play against Ekko you must punish him as much as you can from level's 1-5. If possible ask for ganks or try to find solo kill opportunities because once he's 6 he's basically invincible unless you have a lead.”
Aut0Lycus says “Unlike others, ekko is a surprisingly simple matchup to win against a diver. Save your Q and when he runs towards you throw him away, Watch for his W animation and don't get hit by it. ”
TheKingUltra says “Same as fizz, he will play only aggressive in the few first level and everytime he has ult up, as soon as his ult is down, you can try to catch him or relay and farm, while he just watches. ”
Whitelies says “Buy Chempunk Chainsword to counter his ult heal. And keep an eye out for Ekko's action. You can tell he set up his W on a specified location if you see him going towards you as if it's nothing.”
xIXWrathXIx says “Ekko has a decent early trade and gank setup. Make sure to keep poking him back when you can. and when he tries to get a trade-off or all in, to W him so you can get the R-Q-AA combo off effectivly.”
The_Unf0rgiv3n says “Ekko has a high burst damage, especially on level 2 and he will try to rush it before you, so make sure you harass him level 1, sit back level 2 and try to harass as much as possible after lvl 3. If you dont miss your Q's after his dash on you, you'll never lose a trade.”
Ahri Simplord says “Really fast champ,he'll look to shove the wave all the time with his Q and then surprise you on the next wave by throwing his W on top of your caster minnions and showing himself when you step up. Another corrupting potion+ TP champion. You should just look to take good backs and not lose any CS.”
DaffeLaffe says “Never all in him when he has full health he will ult away last second and you will have nothing left. The only exception would be if you are really fed and just want to scare him off. ”
Dustyacer says “you can prob just go on him lvl 1 with w. careful his e/passive spd/r can get behind e. His damage is weak early. He out scales though. Be careful of him placing w before u w, it might stun u after u engage, u should just respect it a bit. if u are still in his w range and about to be stunned, can immediately e (but don't do it when he has e).
Try not to jump on him when he has his q out unless u can block his q2 with e (face him, not the q).
Post 6, try to bait r out before committing or just oneshotting, if his r is in a bad location, could just ignite and all out anyways
Back off if you get hit by q1,q2. He can e to proc passive and then run. You could try to bait by immediately shielding and cancelling and w'ing onto him.”
m0rfeazz says “avoid his level 2 and then u can easily win him, take his ult before he uses his, if you time correctly you will get 0 damage by it, you outscale him. But be aware of his early damage can kill you.”
Mordryn says “Watch out for W from Bush, and look to make trades around his abilities. You can outplay if you ignite his R, but the odds are against you. ”
Bundif says “The Ekko Matchup is fun! It can be hard BUT if you master the backwards W -> E -> Q combo, you'll always catch them off guard and win trades. Never let him get the 3rd hit passive on you and you win. BUT REMEMBER
⭐Basically any champ that buys Seeker's Armguard into Zhonya's Hourglass can give you trouble. ”
Haydoslang says “pressure early, hard to keep up if he gets his waveclear too early, should be able to force him out of lane with an ult combo and roam”
EclipseMints says “He can throw his stun(w) towards you and kill you while you are ulting. If you try and ult him while he has his chronobreak(r) he can avoid all your attacks.
p.s go in for the kill when he doesn't have his trail.”
V1kt0r555 says “[Rune Keystone: First Strike]
[Summoner Spell: Teleport or Barrier or Exhaust]
[Starting Item: Doran's ring]
[Stay out of his range and farm as much as possible]
[Buy Banshee's Veil]”
soulentt says “Ekko can be pretty annoying, he can get easily close to you and in that moment you are dead. Same as Diana, poke him with E but don't let him poke you.”
DabiDabi says “Don't get stunned. If Ekko tries to E onto you, respond with your E. His R is the only problem as he can survive your all-ins and possibly turn the fight.”
V1kt0r555 says “[Rune Keystone: First Strike or Summon Aery]

lolzed5 says “Ekko is a very minor threat, just make sure to utilize your w backward to trade when he dashes up, he should never be able to proc his passive. make sure to ignite before he ults. ”
keneki ken says “very little trouble most of the times aslong as you block his q before it hits you so he cant proc his passive fast and jst run away ”
ChrisWasTaken says “Ekko usually dishes in their full combo then look to run away, fight them til the end. you can catch up to them with your slows. Starting the trade can be better too. Lethal Tempo. Late game ekko outscales you so you have to realyl either stomp the lane or look for plays.”
ThePieBeam says “Incredible pain. This champ can tear you open and do with you as he pleases if you don't have basically perfect positioning. However; he's still just an assassin into Anivia. Watch out for his dash over wall. Watch out for his AOE from out of your vision, and be weary of his ult. If you're careful you should be fine.”
LBDB says “He will beat you in three hit trades always, and his 6 is alot more potent than yours. Rely on your jungler and try to bait out is E and W before ganks.”
Callmebee says “Child-prodigy Ekko is incredibly strong and while you can kill him early, after he gets his Protobelt, he will just be too tanky and bursty for you. He has insane mobility, high damage and if he gets MR boots, you are just screwed. Try killing him early if you know the matchup or poking with E+AA and after, play for farm and teamfights. Take barrier.”
TcKatfish says “[Press The Attack Runes / Long Sword and Refillable Pots start.] Ekko has scary burst but after his passive he has nothing. Do not be intimidated by his initial damage and take a solid trade back. When Ekko uses his Q on you his character is in an unmovable state while it locks onto you. Use this against him and throw your Q at him from whichever direction he is coming from and wait to grapple until after he gets his passive. Post R he becomes hard to kill but so long as you keep a good trade and delay going all in until after his ult is off cooldown you will be okay.”
lonestar1870 says “I usually ban Ekko, his whole kit counters you.
Never waste your E, he will be able to take advantage of you big time. It can be extra hard to land because of his E and his MS burst, just be careful using it.
You can see his W animation start, so play back when he does it and don't waste mana on a trade if his shield is up. He will often cast his W from fog of war. If he steps out of vision assume it is to use W so don't get baited.
You win the lane early on since you control the wave, just play/position smart and don't let him catch you out in the river. You probably can't kill him after 6 without a gank.
Ekko will likely just Q the wave and roam once his Q oneshots the wave, don't facecheck him in the river if you decide to follow.
Late game you want to split stun, R->E, or use the stun after someone has already stunned him.
Phase rush makes it so he can't hit his 3 spell passive/electrocute as easily, but Electrocute gives you a bit more kill pressure and reduces the heal from his ult.
Ignite is good to cut his healing, but I prefer teleport for a safer playstyle.”
itakute says “Windwall his Q, always pay attention to his body language so you never get stunned by his W or suprised. Don't let him proc passive for free always all in him if he tries to fish Q>E>auto..”
RIPStollie says “Good ekko players will make you unable to play the game in lane, this is my personal ban because of his extreme mobility. Try to abuse the fact that he is melee and force him to last hit with his q, and run teleport so you can have an impact elsewhere if you cannot kill him.”
KafueLechwe says “Although he can kite your Qs, Sion majorly outscales Ekko. This matchup is very skill oriented, and the better player will likely win.”
Rhybeaux says “Ekko is more of a problem for you if he plays jg. He can dive you and escape with his R all day. Pretty hard champ to kill and escape, so just make sure you don't go anywhere blind.”
ShokLoL says “Pretty easy overall, Ekko needs to use his Q to clear waves so if you E max with ignite and go in whenever he Q's the wave you should have no troubles. Rushing a Wit's End can be good here but you don't have to.”
iZianni says “Turns out W is just a hard counter to every melee champ in the game. You destroy this guy in laning phase and can one shot him before he can press R with fear.
Very easy match up.”
pwins says “Ekko gets DESTROYED by Zoe, bar-none. Catch him out of his positioning and deal the pain! They will regret picking Ekko in the first place. ”
livikattt says “Be mindful of his W stun and remember that he can get on top of you faster than you'd expect. For the most part, you shouldn't be afraid of him killing you, and worry instead about how to kill him when his ult is up and if your team is going to feed him.”
Juplicate says “You can trade with him early but he will try to poke you with q. His damage is poor before level 6, but after level 6 keep track of his ultimate and don't walk on it or he can burst you. ”
BigChingas says “Ekko is a little bit annoying as he has a lot of wave clear, a lot of damage, and a counter to your ult. Killing him is easy before 6 but after that you might as well focus on roaming or farming.”
Miscake says “O mesmo problema da Leblanc pelas trocas muito rápidas, um Ekko bom vai procar a passiva + Eletrocutar em pouquíssimo tempo sem que você consiga reagir repetidamente até conseguir te deixar em range de kill no lvl 6. Apenas give o push da wave e jogue ao redor de conseguir visão, já que um Ekko que não consegue te matar vai tentar dar roaming.
Não é injogável e nem precisa de runas específicas, respeite os cooldowns dele na lane e jogue pelo scaling.”
WayOfTheTempesst says “This lane is pretty easy. He will always E out of your Q3 nado and just get a massive trade on you. He's very mobile so try to catch him off guard when he's going for cs. Always pay attention to his Ult shadow and his W or you will die. Always be aware of the audio cue. Windwall his Q so it can never hit you twice. You can easily get out of his W by E'ing out.”
WayOfTheTempesst says “This lane is pretty easy. He will always E out of your Q3 and just get a massive trade on you. He's
very mobile so try to catch him off guard when he's going for a cs. Always pay attention to his ult shadow and
his W or you will die. Always be aware of the audio cue.”
Katawina52 says “You lose a lot of kill presure after lvl 6, his R can not only deny a kill but also your resets in fights. Play agressive pre 6, but make sure you wait until he used his Q on a wave which he will likely always do. Tell your jungler to play agressive aswell to abuse the pre 6 2v2. After level 6 you should avoid focussing him a majority of the time so he doesn't deny your reset while you waste spells on him. For example, in a 2v2 at 6 you would always want to focus the jungler no matter who it is. Mercs good into ekko if more cc.”
eiensiei says “When he goes out of vision, he's probably trying to hide his W cast animation and sound to surprise you with a stun, so I'll walk further away until he shows up again. Unless his stun hits, his Q is easily dodgeable so I try to take as many early trades as I can or just straight up take advantage of my range and poke with with AA's. Lux's Q doesn't let him R.”
Drewmatth Taliyah says “MELEE = PUSH EARLY (LEVELS 1-2) - CARE FOR GANKS! (SPAM Q'S TILL 50-60% MANA) - if he's good he will Q the waves early on - match his push with yours because yours is stronger.
Ring + 2 Pots if you struggle or Corrupting if you are okay with it. Some Ekkos play with TP and Corrupting will help you with that. You can kill him early and you can make him dash through your E.
Versus Ekko the main thing you have to do besides dodging Q and R is to stay away from his stuns and you are good to go. You can also roam first. This matchup is only relatively difficult if he gets kills on you/somewhere else - because after that he becomes a really hard to kill / hard to shutdown champ compared to others.
Fight him but be careful of his stuns and gank setups for their junglers. I usually go Ignite against Ekko.”
xblademojo says “Melee matchup that you win insanely hard, but please respect his early go-ins on you. Starting from the riftwalk it will get better and better.”
Polarshift says “Has a pretty strong level 2. If he isn't aggressive just keep poking him since he's still melee. Ekko will shield himself, poke you for half your health and escape almost unscathed. He also has decent waveclear and rushes protobelt. Be careful of him using his stun (W) out of vision, because if he hits it he either kills you or you get a lot of damage. If you root him (e.g. when he's low) he cannot use his ultimate so you counter him pretty well in teamfights since he will probably get oneshot by your team if he doesn't have Zhonya's. Learn important ability cooldowns through an external website and fight enemies when their abilities are on cooldown.”
Hullos says “While he is a pain, the one up side is his stun is easy to play around. And as long as you don't get hit by it, you should be fine. His dash is not great, so an all in is possible. Watch out post six though as it become much harder.”
AP WormMaW Mid says “In here, it's not too hard to lane against him, though it is just crucial to avoid him being able to jump on you, so keep on distance. Another thing you should be careful about is his AoE stun - you need to expect that sometimes when new minion wave arrives, he might try to stand behind wall, trying to engage on you with his stun. Last thing is his ult - he might go all in, then he has nothing anymore and you survive, so you start going aggro on him with W - don't forget that he can still turn on you with his ult!! Though generally it's not that hard lane if you are paying attention on what he is doing and what is he cappable of.”
Vicksay says “Waveclear? Check. Mobility? Check. One shot potential? Check. Ability to avoid your combo? Check. Ekko in the hands of a good player is an almost impossible match-up, if he mains Ekko he will know how easily he can make your life a living hell with constant tower diving and unmatched roaming. Very important match-up to not feed early game as once he gets a small lead on you it's easy pickings for him.”
Avucado says “Start E and look to get an early trade with it but wait for him to use Q before you do. Q->E or looking to engage with E will not work because he can E out. If the Ekko does not seem too good, then you can go for a reaction test when you are both 6 and just try to R him while his is still up, but it's not recommended and should only be done if he is about to escape while you can execute (don't do it at all past gold elo). If he reacts once don't do it for the rest of the game. (And NEVER do it if a fight even has a chance of breaking out) ”
RezoneVerified says “Punish early game with constant auto attack and double beam from easy grenades. With him being melee you should win the lane pre 6 easily. Build aggressive.”
LunarVortex says “His rather high cooldowns at the start of the game make him an easy lane opponent for you. Spellshield his stun and save your Q for when he uses E on you during the early levels. Try to match his push by putting your W down often because Morgana sucks at lasthitting under tower. In teamfights, shield whoever he is trying to burst and then Q him before he can ult out so your team can burst him down.”
Yeager says “Be aware when he's out of vision as he will most likely look to land a stun on you.
When he engages, sidestep immediately so you can dodge his Q. If you dodge that, you can win every trade. ”
Fuzzmonkey says “Ekko is pretty easy for Leblanc. Just make sure you don't get caught in his W stun and you should come out better in all your trades. Locking him down with chains at level 6 will also stop him from being able to use his ult too. ”
Xelikari says “You beat him pretty good, just try to avoid his Q’s and look to trade any time he uses an ability on the wave. Be really careful of his W’s (the big circle) and try to mind game him. Like most matchups, Comet for lane or Electrocute for more skirmish/2v2/3v3 fights.
Start Doran’s Ring and Q generally, I would also build an Oblivion Orb or even go straight for Morello since most Ekko’s will just try to ult when they’re low and you’ll negate a lot of healing. Don’t get hit by a full combo, you win this lane pretty easy. ”
Yeager says “He's slippery so he can be hard to hit with a full combo. He also specializes in diving with his W stun field. Laning phase is quite easy as long as you watch out for his W (parallel convergence) when he's out of vision. Whenever he engages on someone, he wants to proc his passive by getting 3 hits with a combination of autos and abilities. His best way of doing that is using E (engage) and Q(Skillshot) in order to execute his combo super fast, and back off with bonus movement speed once his passive is procced. If you learn to time it right, sidestepping the moment he uses E, will make him miss his Q skillshot, making him unable to proc his passive in time, and get any damage off on you. That's when you can trade back and punish him severely. ”
Urpog says “Jungle: Ekko will play to basically not be anywhere around you, Urgot is favoured in the skirmish against Ekko purely because he can't use his E (his dash) whenever you're around since if he uses it on you, he's set himself up to be oneshot combo'd. He has good clear and is very mobile however so matching his pacing is pretty tough, look for skirmishes where you can, focus around drake playstyle, force teamfights as you should be coming out ahead against him, play to peel your teammates rather than engage because remember, he shouldn't be able to use his e2 around you, it's a guaranteed location where he will be, if he uses it on an ally just e infront of them and you'll catch out Ekko.
Midlane: Pretty easy matchup, again Ekko can never use one of his core abilities around you, I would place him into the minor-even tiers purely based if his jungle plays for midlane or not, if ekko gets ahead you still have oneshot combo potential on him before he's able to use his ultimate based on item advantages and etc but this matchup can get out of hand if you allow it to, rush the cull on the 3 wave shove recall and then contain him in lane with you, if ekko can't roam or kill you that's great since you outscale and outbrawl him!”
Fuzzmonkey says “Same as Fizz, can dash through your E to get to you. Uses his ult to negate your ult, very hard match up, would also recommend asking your jungler for a gank as early as possible. ”
XayLies says “Block Q and dodge W's zone. He got high damage and 99% of times he will only fight with his R ready. Try to engage on him instead of countering his own while his R is on cooldown.”
Aegox says “Just poke him down a ton, while he does have good CC, his power spike is usually at level 6, so just stop him from getting CS and dodge his R with your R.”
iZianni says “I hate this champion with a passion, your damage will never stick because of corrupting potion and his ultimate makes yours irrelevant.
Just don't even bother trying to poke him out early because you'll run out of mana leaving you useless for early game jungle plays.
Play around manaflow band, avoid the temporal field and look to have more impact in team fights or early game rotations. ”
Folver says “Fleet/lethal tempo
If you want to have the biggest advantage, you have to kill him to level 6.
Then it will get worse.
I recommend Doran Shield”
Goldenstinger says “He has great wave clear - play the lane depending on the player. If he is hard shoving with his Q, make sure you are hard shoving back (use your q and AA's) as best as you can to mitigate the push. Again you are just trying to survive till 6 to help your team out so play accordingly. ”
MikeVix says “Ekko is an easy kill before 6. You casn poke him pretty easily bait him with W so he uses E to dodge your combo. Then use EQ to finish the combo. After 6 do the same thing and after 400 HP all in him. Make sure you watch his R trail.”
wDesired says “Comet or Electrocute is good into this matchup
Bait the ekko by getting hit with Q then use WQ AA to trade with electrocute
(All runes are good)”
ShokLoL says “This is pretty good for Zoe overall but you do need to be careful not to waste your E. If you hold your E for when he jumps on you he pretty much has no choice but to just get poked for free without giving him a window.”
angeLoon says “lethal Dblade. In Resolve Bone Plating and overgrowth.
ekko will try to harass you with his Q try to stay away from your minions when he have Q.
don't stand on his W and try to block his Q”
Kords says “Ekko is considered hard because of his kit. He is quite formidable because his Q slows you, then he blinks forward with his E, followed by his move speed bonus which allows him to get away with a free trade. Trades with him become difficult because of his passive more than any other of his abilities. If he is at critical health he can just R, BUT WATCH HIS TRAIL, he will look to use it to all in you again... He can dodge all your abilities or dive you with his R. At level 7 he can shove waves way better than Sol, so use the time before this to shove him in and roam. He can counter your ganks with a well timed TP (he normally takes this) so be prepared for him to react to you top or bot. His main goal will be to split push, so look for teamfights where he can't join and you should be fine. ”
TheoRut says “Don't let him Q + E + basic attack you or you will lose your lane super easily.
If you manage to stun him you should apply ignite on him and make him use his ult since ignite will make him not heal as much from his ult as he usually does. after he has used ult you should be able to kill him easily. Electrocute is suggested.”
ShokLoL says “Not as hard as people think, you can bully him really hard all throughout lane. Be really careful not to waste stun. The key to this matchup is to just use your ult for poke so that he won't ult the damage. Phase rush is also quite useful for this matchup.”
WildeBob says “Really difficult matchup. You cannot really ever kill him in lane so you need to just outscale. He can dive you really easily with ult so make sure to not take trades with him because you want to stay as high HP as possible to prevent dives.”
ShokLoL says “Pretty easy matchup if you save E. Just QW onto him and if he follows you back then you can chain him and do tons of damage to him. He does have high amounts of waveclear so try threaten him off the wave.”
Yasukeh says “ You can always win trade with him provided he doesn't hit stun and you don't let him get his passive off for free and run away from it. For Ekko to farm from range he pratically has to push the entire wave, and he can't control his pushing very well. you can use this to freeze on him and force a situation where you can run him down the lane. This matchup is much more free if you learn to freeze so you can deny him. ”
Elite500 says “It's ESSENTIAL you don't let him Q the wave lvl 1, just walk up like the angriest player on the planet and procc electro and walk away, repeat.”
Dr Eggmund says “Ekko is very annoying, however he is a melee champion so poke him as much as possible with your Q's and Auto Attacks. His E (dash) is concerning and allows him to pull off a Passive combo allowing him to deal damage and escape. His Ultimate at level 6 is huge for him, believe me you won't be able to kill him when it's up. Try poking him and bating out his ultimate so you can take advantage of him while it's down.”
iZianni says “This champion never dies, takes 0 damage due to sustain and then proceeds to one shot you. If you're in range to Q/W, you're in range to die.
Haha
Avoid stuns from fog of war and hope you're not forced to side lane into him.”
Ambitieux says “Ekko is easily poked out with autos and Q in lane. Try to keep him pushed and save charm for his engage. You can use W if you think you can get multiple autos off for free damage, But save charm for if he tries to engage. Than charm and walk away. Although obvious if he walks out of Fog Of War. He might try to use his W and all in you.”
iZianni says “i don't even care if this is wrong, I hate this champion and I hate you if you play this.
Ekko goes C pot, Ekko clicks Q clears wave for 1/3rd of the mana cost of Lux wave clear.
He presses E, you lose 50% of health.
Much love, double health bar.
Avoid combat, ecksdee.”
kindo says “Ekko has really nothing he can do in laning phase vs. Kindred - if he engages and tries to run away with his movement speed you can drop E and chase him down. All he can do is sit back and push waves with his Q - if he does then push and zone him off exp while his Q is on CD.
He'll likely give up CS for rotations, so try to always rotate first - it won't matter much either way. If he snowballs it might suck a bit, but he isn't that oppressive unless he gets like 10 kills.
Once he gets 1 item + boots, he'll be able to engage and disengage with his passive MS - just be aware. His combo can only 1 shot when ahead or a few items without any MR - Shieldbow negates this and pretty much denies him from going all in then ulting out. ”
Candyness says “The main issue is his recall ultimate. Once he regains his health back, there's not much you can do. He also has a mild slow and excels at poking.”
Baion says “Before level 6, he is an "Even", because you can trade with him without get punished. But, after that, you unfortunately can't hit an ult on him and his passive will scale a lot. ”
Coldsong says “Ekko is pretty annoying to fight, but is still an easier matchup due to his weaker laning phase. If he E's away from your second W, flash in his direction so your second W still hits for a free passive proc. Also if you see him W, he may be receiving a gank so back off from him.”
Shikikashi says “Outscales Zed and pretty much beats him in almost all stages of the game if ahead. Try to play safe in the early game and reach level 6 as soon as possible, then shut him down early.”
resetwice says “His wave push is bad, you can start with Q and meleeQ him and do crit damage. His CC is not that hard but he has dashes. Don’t full combo his R.
BEST RUNES TO GO: ELECTROCUTE”
Kessi says “V.S. Ekko you usually win trades, obviously if you don't get hit by every single ability, which is hard to do since you should be using bush. Ignite might help for his ult, since Ekko has the ability
to just escape a fight without any harm. I suggest not wasting ult when he has R up unless you know you're gonna oneshot. (You can try and ult+ignite if his ult is nearby)
Use your W/E to dodge and go Mercury Treads.”
Sylvan Lore says “Ekko is a strong threat to Orianna that can make very aggresive plays on you with little room for punishment. He has a strong push in early levels with his Q so make sure you push the wave hard as well to not be under turret. Care his lvl 2 as he cant get an easy 3 hit proc with an E->Q combo and then run away with his passive before you can trade back. If he plays poorly you win trades before level 6, but after that its really hard to win an even trade again. It is also even harder since he will buy merc treads every game making your damage less. You can kill him in lane if his ult is somehow down but mostly you just want to farm. With team coordination you can burst him out and out-teamfight him but it is not easy. Morellonomicon is actually really strong against him since it will decrease the amount of health he comes back with after ulting. Other than that standard builds, TP or Barrier, and try to play around your team when you can. ”
Wholesomefrog says “One of the weirder matchups, if he comes up close with his dash you should E away bacause otherwise he is going to kill you everytime he gets too close. Poke him early.”
TheDisconnectEUW says “FOR MIDLANE
Ekko can shove the wave level 1 before you have killed a single minion. Similar to Viktor in the way you just cannot win lane against this guy. Not unplayable, just super annoying and you start on the backfoot.”
Saddest says “Pretty even. If he's smart, he will E on you first and then Q you. If he does not E you first and misses his Q or uses it on the wave, trade him and you might be able to pick up a kill. Post 6, keep track of his little clone trailing behind him when you're fighting him. Not picking up daggers/holding R in anticipation of his R is always a good idea.”
Yumi Project says “Pressure him pre 6. Then try to move around the mid to deal him some dmg. Everytime you wanna all-in him, just try to stay away from her ghost, bcs he want to ult you in the last moment.”
Kune ML says “Skill matchup . Destroy him before lv6 and you're good to go . If you can't do that the going for Poke With Q + passive to lower his HP . Then pretend like you're going to all-in making him using his ULT . Killing him after this is kinda easy if you're skilled ”
Impossible2Gank says “Pretty even matchup just avoid his passive proc or he'll run circles around you. You're able to lure him back onto boxes with your Q when he E's you but it's a short window and can be hard to pull off.”
Mylan2122 says “He dodges all of your spells, you never win this lane. Its kinda unplayable since ekko's E has the same CD as your W and he can thus always dodge it. Also, you can't poke him down with his naturally tanky stats and his ult as an escape tool. He can easily dive you since you are immobile and vulnerable up close. ”
duhnx says “You have to play the matchup a lot more different than others. You should try to trade but never all in after level 6 unless you are able to stun him before he can ult. Just be careful of his roams because of his significantly better waveclear.”
Grayified says “[MID] Any Rune (not DH) - Corrupting Potion or Cull - Any Spell | Careful of his powerful all-in, as long as you don't get stunned you should be able to survive. Once his R is down, you have a good chance to win all-in.”
richardlized says “Ekko is not as hard as before into Zed after seekers nerf. Ekko was permabanned by Laceration/Zed99 for quite a bit but it is easier to win now. In this matchup you have to use the backwards weq trick. Place a W behind you, wait for ekko to E you and immediately QE swap to W2. Ekko would never be able to get to proc passive on you. The matchup becomes tough at level 6, since he would have ult. If he has lower health, you can auto him to force him to use R or ult him - ignite - AA - E (wait for his R) and kill him with WQ. You can also abuse Ekko E buffer, once he buffers his E he is going to follow. (Eclipse Conq)
”
Katasandra says “[1] If he uses W (or vanishes for a second and then returns), back off/put distance between you and him so you don't get stunned.
[2] Poke him with Q's/autoattacks. If he E's. W and walk away so he can't proc passive.
[3] Can chain CC him to prevent him from ulting.”
Thresh Mid says “Ekko's early game gets decimated by your basic trading pattern, only issue Ekko poses is late game. Otherwise his early game is free picking but be careful of his damage from normal combo of Phase Dive (E) into Timewinder (Q) and passive 3rd hit.”
xMetix says “He has wave control due to his Q but if he wastes it on minions you can attempt to start a trade. His ult will save him any time he uses it since you will lack damage to continue the fight. Try to make sure you can burst him before he uses the Chronobreak otherwise just go for a short trade.”
Hienaa says “All easy for being melee champs, not on tier 2 because they can all build seekers, and viego is just broken so it’s a little tricky to play vs him sometimes.”
Marky 2 Butts says “In lane it is fine to sit back and let Ekko push. When you hit 6 you can only really have kill pressure if Ekko doesn't have ult up. Unless the jungler or someone else can blow Ekko up in the time before he can ult then you are mostly unless. So in that situation just don't ult Ekko and look to ult squishy targets in team fights. ”
DabiDabi says “Most bad Ekko's will start Q. So I also recommend starting Q for this matchup. I don't know why but Ekko players just suck against Talon. Only thing you have to worry about is getting ganked. If you throw your W and Ekko tries to dash away, follow with your Q for Flash to pull your second W and proc passive on him. Only at lvl 6 is when it's harder to kill Ekko. But if you trade with him, just play slow until he uses Ult and you can kill him.”
nZk01 says “(Mid) Very easy just dodge his W and he cant do anything to you in pretty much any stage of the game, when hes 1 AA away from dying you can just E him and AA while hes knocked away to deny his ult, works sometimes, would recommend Ignite.”
Nanelol says “Most bad Ekko's will start Q. So I also recommend starting Q for this matchup. Hide in the side brush, and walk up to Auto + Melee Q + Auto and proc Electrocute. Keep autoing him until he goes under tower. Wait for Q to come up and Q+ignite him for first blood. Ekko players for some reason do really bad against Talons. If you throw your W and Ekko tries to dash away, follow with your Q to pull your second W and proc passive on him. Only at lvl 6 is when it's harder to kill Ekko. But if you trade with him, just play slow until he uses Ult and you can kill him.”
ok0goi says “Look to avoid his q. When he gets out of vision, it means that he is likely to use his W. You can use your e to get the movement speed to run out of his w.
Take trades with him to make him low. IF before 6, you can win all ins.
However after 6,BE careful of when you ult, he will just be able to ult back and restore all the damage you just did to him.
Use your ulti after he ults.

tozosi says “Ekko players will usually dodge your W by using his E to the side of wherever you aimed it. When this happens, just back off to avoid taking a bad trade. Whenever you want to go in on him post-6, make sure you ignite him before he ults to reduce the health he gains back.”
3Riptide3 says “Has good waveclear early and can easily punish positioning mistakes. Play very safe as they like to use lack of vision to W and E you. Take teleport so you can back with a cheater recall.”
Nanelol says “Ekko is a tough lane. He will do 1 of 2 things early shove with Q or Q you. If he Qs the wave punish him he is incredibly dependent on his skills. Take E second and make sure to ignite him before he ultimates to cut healing. Otherwise beware of his one-shot potential. ”
TheEnglishman says “This is honestly a bit of a personal thing. This champ is infuriating with passive ms crazy burst good wave clear and a get out of jail free w, passive, ult, and e. While you can shove into him and he can't farm very well under tower without mana his kill threat and easy roams make up for this and make the lane hard to win.”

TheDuskWalker says “All summs work. Electrocute. Conqueror and Summon Aery is a possible choice. You can completely outrade him early game. If he's missing respect the possibility of an engage with his w from fog of war. Good Ekko's will perma push the wave and look for plays in sidelanes so punish him by freezing and by out farming him. ”
Jinx_48 says “Rly nice ult just dont be there where he 4 seconds earlier to tank that match dmg you can took ignite vs him to igntie hijm before ult to heal him less.”
Adamo3012 says “*Generally Even Pre-6
Very Hard To Kill After 6 For Both Of You But He Has The Upper Hand Because You Used Your All-In And He Can Easily Respond After His R”
Sanctuar says “Ekko can deal great amounts of damage, but for that he needs to do his combo all over again: Dash onto the enemy with E, Q immediately and auto-attack for the third stack to proc his passive. Abuse this fact to punish him whenever he goes in for a trade. Dodge his W and ultimate and you'll be safe. Due to his ultimate the killing potential gets reduced a lot, but that should not stop you from pushing up the lane and putting pressure on him whenever his ult is on cooldown.”
fanchessfan says “Take double MR runes and either cleanse or exhaust, dodge his Q with your q. Ekko is very kiteable as he basically only has one small dash in his kit. When he goes in, pop ultimate and kite. Same thing as all other assasin matchups except you can play more agressive. ”
Astalfo says “He can and WILL play with you like its all fun and games for him, try to bait his R, keep your volume up so you can hear the 'ding' when he activates his W, when you hear that, try to move in an unpredictable way as you don't know where he's placed the stun zone.”
StarTundra says “Take phase rush and ekko becomes a joke. Focus on positioning and dodging his projectile, If they engage on you with their Q/dash, you can follow up with Q E AA, then back off and he won't be able to catch you. Theres a chance Ekko won't engage on you until post-6, especially if you've pulled a phase rush combo on them before. The only situations Ekko wins trades are: If he lands a pokes you with a Q you can't really counterpoke, If he lands a stun, you can't run away and he'll combo you before you've recovered, If you blow your Q then he can combo you for free, and lastly if you get ganked. The biggest of these problems is by far his stun and being ganked. Ekko's quite often will place their stun field off-screen/in river and then run back into lane to engage with it, so be wary whenever he leaves lane or comes back, and don't overextend/keep your vision score high as if you're ganked and are forced to blow your Q, you're in a bad spot.
Thanks to Matrixpl for advice on fighting Ekko”
cookanarities says “Ekko has really nothing he can do in laning phase vs. Kindred - if he engages and tries to run away with his movement speed you can drop E and chase him down. All he can do is sit back and push waves with his Q - if he does then push and zone him off exp while his Q is on CD. He'll likely give up CS for rotations, so try to always rotate first - it won't matter much either way. If he snowballs it might suck a bit, but he isn't that oppressive unless he gets like 10 kills. Once he gets 1 item + boots, he'll be able to engage and disengage with his passive MS - just be aware. His combo can only 1 shot when ahead or a few items without any MR - Shieldbow negates this and pretty much denies him from going all in then ulting out.”
TheWerefloof says “Healing, a chonker AoE stun and a dash. His three hit passive does a lot more damage then yours, but he doesn't look nearly as cool as you so abuse the style points. For the most part long as you don't let him hit his Q's for free you should be alright, as with how much movement you have his stun takes too long for him to predict it right.”
luminyan says “Ekko isn't too hard to beat. Dodge his Q, he really has no kill potential. Same thing with Diana, if he dashes to you, punish him with a Q+E combo.”
Aethlo says “Ekko has the wave clear advantage. ||
Ekko wins pre-3. ||
Ekko loses post-6. ||
Annie slightly outscales Ekko. ||
Tip: Early sorc shoes allow you to disengage easier from him, it also allows you in combination with your E - to run away from his W (circle). At post-6 make sure to CC him before killing him so he can't ult. ”
DarDarThePenguin says “Ekko has strong and almost unavoidable all-ins. Shielding yourself as soon as he engages and then trying to retaliate hard will win you the lane. Be sure to try to force him to E onto you in your minion wave as well, since minions provide an invaluable damage boost. Take the Standard page with MR.”
Kirito OTP Xerath says “Con Ekko nos debemos mantener atentos en todo momento, ya sea por su W, o E, con el queremos solo tradeos cortos, de 1 a 3 habilidades, en lo posible hay que llamar a nuestro Jungla.”
Redeemteam says “Skill matchup; you outdamage him early in burst trades but once he gets ult, you can't really ult him until his ult is used and so you need to burst him before.”
TheMockingSnowman says “Bring Ignite. You can win lane however, be wary of his W and ult. Use Ignite during battle where his ult is up to lower his healing from it. ”
Boomblight says “After he rolls on the floor with e, it is important to have a good reaction time and start using e immediately, his next auto is empowered for the next 3 seconds and jax e lasts 2 second + stuns for 1 so if you time perfectly he cant use empowered auto. Or if u good at life just e when he blinks. The reason its important to dodge is because it usually decides the post 1st item 1v1s in this lane. hyperlate game he oneshots you. Early game you can play very aggressive.”
FrostbiteMW says “You can easily poke him early game. Try to get an advantage. Never use your stun tho, unless he jumps in. This way he cant trade back easily. Nothing changes after 6, just hold your range and perma poke. This way you can easily win.”
SpartanDumpster says “I'd say Yone has the advantage earlier in this match up, but Ekko can be seemingly weak at one moment then destroys you the next. You can get a couple kills on him and easily think you can keep beating him, but then he does "Ekko things" and all of a sudden it feels like there's no way for you to beat him.
Be cautious of walking up when he could have his bubble ability ready, you get your real body caught in that and you're easily open not only to him attacking you but to a jungle gank as well.”
FrostbiteMW says “You can easily poke him early game. Try to get an advantage. Never use your stun tho, unless he jumps in. This way he cant trade back easily. Nothing changes after 6, just hold your range and perma poke. This way you can easily win.”
Daers says “Matchup depends on Ekko hitting his stun. Try to get jungler help as much as you can. Perma poke him with your Q and proc electrocute whenever you can. Don't let him proc his. ”
Neekolai says “Pretty free matchup since you have a lot of cc which counters him. You also get free E hits on him when he jump on you. You win trades and kill him easily.”
Little Planet says “Ekko relies on his slow and his passive speed boost to trade in the early game, Sejuani's passive completely nullifies the slow and allows you to get an equally or more devastating trade right back at him.
After lvl 6 you have enough damage that he won't even be able to ult in time.
You can also more than easily match his waveclear.”
Excalibxr says “Ekko can e away from a dagger and his ultimate makes it very hard for you to kill him. Try to bait his e and you can kill him. Force him to use his ult during your ult so you can get the heal reduction on him. ”
Joseph Evanss says “You out trade him if the second part of his q doesn't hit. You also out scale but if he gets fed off you or your bot lane its miserable. Go Bone Plating, Overgrowth + D Blade”
ahspaghetti says “Make sure to always respect his lvl 2, especially when you are still lvl1. he will burst you down even when seemingly you are out of range. but you can try to auto -> e -> auto with long sword to outtrade him. otherwise, play very far back when he is ahead in levels pre 6 is your best time at trying to kill him, his r denys your reset and kill pressure. you want to play more aggressively when he uses q on the wave. look for fights and ganks from your jungle.”
Black Shadow QIYANA says “I think a good Qiyana would not have a problem to beat an ekko at any stage plus you can root him and stun him before he uses his R at lvl 3 you can kill him all in ”
peytonqt says “[HARD/BANNABLE] [Runes: PR/Conqueror/Electrocute] [D Blade/Long Sword/Tear] Ekko will be able to consistently out trade you and you can't E him off of you because he will trade with you through an E Q combo. Do your best to trade with him when his Q is down. However the second he hits level 6, back up. EVEN if you get him in killable range, he will have ult and just obliterate you. You can kill him later in the game, but in laning its really a no go.”
Doctor Yas says “Skill match up. Can swing either way. Take short trades and do not let Ekko get his passive off. Buying early MR can help in this match up. ”
JoshAy says “Don't engage in long fights. His damage comes from his passive (hitting things 3 times will deal more damage). Don't stand in his circle it will stun you. His E1 is a dash and E2 is a blink. Good ult to steal. Skill matchup”
Ryank30 says “Fleet. Ekko will always out damage you in every trade, but if he messes up, his spells will be on a set cooldown, which is very long early on. Play to scale, and go in when he misses his Q and R is on cooldown. Most Ekko's like to W the middle of the wave to zone you off, because you either get stunned in the zone or you have to give up farm and can't poke him because he gets a shield. ”
1 Am Zed says “Never had issues with ekko, either they hard shove the lane and wait for minions or i beat them lane goes even/won (Aslong as there's not big misplays). ”
Mpegial says “Ekko is fairly strong and is quite hard to kill with his Ultimate however he can't really do too much early on to you, if you use your W properly you will out-trade him everytime.”
Tauricus2017 says “Ekko is quite interesting matchup. He is very dangerous at any stage of the game. Push waves and make him waste mana on his Qs. When you know that he doesn't have enough mana to kill you, engage immediately. Pay attention when his ultimate is up as he can freely engage under your turret, kill you and then still survive.”
xoonaka says “He's really squishy and his dash is very short, and usually not enough to escape your all in, his ultimate can be very annoying during dives. Avoid poke before lvl 3 and he should be a free kill.”
Luciiid says “Very easy to out trade at levels 1, 2, & 3. Dodge first part of his q and its a free trade because he just cant out damage you. Try to bait his e then follow with q aa w aa. Free trade, free lane. Watch out for 6. A lot of ekkos don't upgrade r right away to bait you. Try to bait his r by faking an all in without using your own r. Then one shot him with w q r aa. Must take electrocute.”
Noodles912 says “Skill based lane. He denies you pre 6. After level 6, use Q to trade and preserve your HP. After 11, you should win easy. Be careful for his ult.”
mc_jojo3 says “Ekko mid is really overpowered in mid since he can both recover all of your burst damage with his R and his CC and Poke is really good aswell so make sure to stay out of his W and be aware of his Q since it returns to Ekko shortly after cast.”
Noodles912 says “Ekko is pretty easy. Dodge his Q with E, jump onto him, and run if he uses W. At level 6, save your shark for roams, as Ekko has such an annoying ult that makes him invulnerable.”
elnino9 says “Don't allow Ekko to proc his 3rd attack on passive, walk away to avoid this or shunpo out. It's his major tool to out-trade you. Take advantage when his Q is on cooldown. Setup Q dagger on him when he tries to go for CS. After hitting 6, try to force him to use ult by playing aggressive, it's okay to burn your own ulti for his. He'll be far more open for ganks and left far more vulnerable than you without ult.”
PASS10NE says “When trading with Ekko, try to back off before he procs his passive. Do not all in him if he has his R (Ekko will sometimes save his upgrade for his R in order for you to think that his R is not up). Try to force him to use his R first, then all in him.”
NuclearAkali says “Just make sure you are ahead of him and you will be good. Level 3 you can kill him all the way until he has his 6. If you get ahead before that then his 6 will be a useless power spike. ”
Wunsch3957 says “You win extended trades, he wins short ones. Try to stick onto him after he uses E offensively, and trade when he misses Q. Do care about his W and try to back off when you hear its cast sound. Conq.”
AkiraHopeXDDDD says “Some Ekko's will always E your 2nd W but for some reason they always just get hit by the 2nd W and then get out traded due to getting hit by 2nd W. but easy match up.”
Wunsch3957 says “Skill match, can punish you very well with his W as he can cast it onto your body so when you returns with E he stuns you. Try to E in a way that he can't stun you when you go back and take long trades. Conq/red with flash/ignite.”
Twitch.Tv-LimitBreaker88 says “Very rare to face a good Ekko, but he can be extremely annoying, with his push and all ins. Stay at max range and when he goes in dodge his Q. Then you can destroy him. Keep track of his E CD.”
PsykerZeo says “Don't be agressive against this guy, he can burst you in every point of the game, but he can't really do that much when you're ahead, call your jungler and make him out of game.”
GeDBo says “The difficulty playing against an Ekko as Azir is average. Not too hard, not too easy. Ekko is malee AP burst assassin. Your goal here would be to farm and poke. Suggested runes are Electrocute or Hail of Blades. Both of these rune options will win you early trades if used properly. Don't let him get close to you and if he does always ult towards his side of the map. Never use your ultimate to push him under tower, since he will likely escape with either his ultimate or a dash. Remember: Ekko is the most forgiving champion. You can make plenty mistakes and by using his ultimate he will not be punished. Ask your jungler for help if needed. Vision increases the chances of winning the match.”
Modern Giraffe says “My go to ban. I dont want him jungle or mid and it makes the enemy still unsure if its really an eve mid since its a jungle ban. He can ult your damage or just run you down with his e and passive. If you get this lane just try to out roam and dodge his q. Force him to either poke with q or clear the wave with q if you can.”
CrazyyBrrr says “This matchup i recommend to go for fleet
It can be hurt for u to fight this guy lvl 3 and after
Just be carefull to not get stunned by his w and u can win the trade”
Edg3Lord says “Same story as Diana, but you can way easily overpower him, both when poking and when fighting on the lane. Most of the times, make sure you keep your W for his, and try to go all in should he do the same thing.”
lukuluku says “After lv 6 he can't kill you since he can't land stun.
Freeze him of the wave .
Only way he can win is through permaganks and roaming. ”
Coldsong says “Same thing with Zilean, Ekko cannot use his R while stunned. When you see him cast his W, get away from him as we will stun your if you are inside of it.”
Gloglito says “After 6, you have no kill potential on him unless he is not very good. He can deny your r by casting his ult. Aim to get lane shoved in and move.”
SoraSan says “Ekko é um Assassino AP melee(corpo-a-corpo). A dificuldade contra ele é mediana. Seu objetivo é farmar e pokea-lo. Sempre que ele tentar chegar em você, fuja para os lados do mapa. Não tente abater o Ekko após seu nivel 6, ele pode facilmente fugir com seu E ou com sua ultimate.
Recomendo Chuva de Laminas ou Eletrocutar nessa matchup. Uma vez que essas runas vão te fazer ganhar pequenas trocas no começo do jogo.”
Abbyca says “Try not to go in if his ult is up, and bait out his ult and play defensively around his Q's, i recommend baiting out his Ult with normal abilities, and saving your R for when its down.”
BigBushMan says “Not much to say here, just don't let him stun you with his W and you should be able to survive this lane and maybe even look to solo kill him. He will have the waveclear advantage, so look to freeze and call over your jungler. ”
nZk01 says “(Mid) Very easy just dodge his W and he cant do anything to you in pretty much any stage of the game, when hes 1 AA away from dying you can just E him and AA while hes knocked away to deny his ult, works sometimes, would recommend Ignite.”
SamIAm12 says “Echo isn't too hard to counter since you have W which blocks all autos if inside so if you go in on him or he goes in on you just bring your sword to yourself and W and fight back.”
Tizgard says “Same as Diana but slightly harder, still easy to poke down, but he has a better engage on you. Easier to kill him if his Q or E is on CD.”
sashadidntwalk says “Look for all ins pre 6 if he uses his abilities to farm, after 6 you can try to bait his ult or go roam after pushing the wave in.”
BigFatCat909 says “Ekko is similar to the Akali matchup where if one person goes in, the other person decides whether someone actually dies in the fight.”
Hiimkata says “You lose a lot of kill presure after lvl 6, his R can not only deny a kill but also your resets in fights. Play agressive pre 6, but make sure you wait until he used his Q on a wave which he will likely always do. Tell your jungler to play agressive aswell to abuse the pre 6 2v2. After level 6 you should avoid focussing him a majority of the time so he doesn't deny your reset while you waste spells on him. For example, in a 2v2 at 6 you would always want to focus the jungler no matter who it is. Mercs good into ekko if more cc.”
Johan Paracelso says “By laning phase, Ekko can destroy the wave with his Q, then, he'll look for a trade. When Ekko jumps to a side or to the forth, he has a stronger Auto, this Auto do more magic damage and teleports him in front of Yone. Avoid getting hit by the Q at all, since it will give Ekko a mark on his passive, and, if you see him jumping, you probably want to get away from him before he jumps over you, procs passive and run away. You can't beat Ekko on your own, so, wait until the Jungler comes or get Level 6 before he does. Then go in. For Ekko Jungle, he can zone half of the lane with his W, so, when playing aginst one, don't be too agressive against the enemy laner, unless it can give you a great advantage”
mrsuits says “Dealing with Ekko requires careful positioning and awareness of his burst potential. Here are some tips for handling the matchup:
When facing Ekko:
Dodge his skillshots, especially his Q ability, Timewinder. Stay behind minions to minimize the chances of getting hit by it.
Be cautious of Ekko's W ability, Parallel Convergence, which creates a stun zone. Avoid the center of the zone to prevent getting stunned and taking additional damage.
Watch out for Ekko's passive, Z-Drive Resonance, which applies a mark that detonates for bonus damage. Be mindful when the mark is on you and avoid extended trades.
Track Ekko's ultimate cooldown, as it allows him to rewind time, heal, and deal damage. Try to bait out his ultimate before committing to an all-in.
Consider building defensive items like Zhonya's Hourglass to negate his burst damage and buy time for your team to react.
Utilize crowd control effectively to interrupt Ekko's combos and prevent him from utilizing his mobility.
Maintain vision control to avoid getting caught off guard by Ekko's roams or split-pushing attempts.
Coordinate with your team to punish Ekko when his summoner spells, especially Flash, are down.
Respect Ekko's early game power spikes and play defensively until you have the necessary items or assistance from your team.”
ShadowSlayerMain says “Heavy Damage in both Early and Late Game so Malmortius is optional, just last hit minions, force him to cast his R 1st so he can't dodge your Q's after you R him”
Poppi Sama says “Skill based matchup, however in the patch [9.19] Ekko has been over-tuned, and is being abused in this patch. Look for opportunity to poke with your long range Q's or Charms under your turret.”
UnoTrickCho says “Skill matchup, just be weary of him ulting onto you as the damage is disgusting. Try to ignite him just before he ults so the heal is less. ”
KataTocDo says “Skill matchup. Don't let him get proc his passive and don't get hit by W. Do not get baited by his ult.
Runes: Conq or Elec.
Starting Items: D. Blade ”
Jnewbringspain says “Lots of movement speed along with a gap-closer. He has very strong damage too. I hate this matchup, he is often a ban for me. You may have to use Rupture to clear minion waves. Play this one safe.”
Yamikaze says “Skill matchup. He will be trying to Q spam your minion wave lvl 1 in order to shove it in, and get safe CS. This makes it hard to harass him with Q, so you can try push the wave as fast as you can. If you are experienced in this matchup, you will have a feeling of when ekko will use his Q(Or when he decides to animation cancel it) on you. If you manage to dodge it, you can fight him(GO HAM)! Just be aware when he goes out of vision, as most Ekko players will be looking to land a W(stun) on you. ”
1Recycle Bin1 says “another skill matchup, the better the ekko the harder it gets for you to kill him, dont get hit by his q too much and try to dodge his W when possible”
wildersovereign says “Ekko is very manageable so long as he doesn't snowball. Ping missing when he leaves lane to prevent this. His W is very strong, so be sure to shield it. Note that it still provides him with a shield, so you can't just ignore it like you can a lot of singular CC abilities. His ult makes him difficult to kill since it'll allow him to escape your ult a lot of the time. He doesn't have much kill pressure on you either, though, so your main focus against him should be lane priority rather than getting kills. Overall this lane is pretty non-interactive, but your waveclear is WAY better than his, so your roams will be more effective on average.”
SkyBanana says “He has the ability to push waves at level 1 with his Q and passive proc. It is very annoying to deal with. His kit is very forgiving with him having a shield and a potential full heal/nuke with his ultimate makes him a threat once he hits level 6.”
ITSDEBEAR says “Electro or predator only matchup. You need to trade emp qs. If he buys corrupt you are fucked. Early kills make the lane bearable. Id recommend playing safe until you get items.”
rajsovsky says “Not the hardest matchup, but also not the easiest one. Try to read his mind and don't get stunned by his W. His ult is gonna be annoying and for sure he has better wave clear, so he can just push and get some free kills from roams. Personally I don't like this matchup, but you can win it actually if hes stupid.”
invalidd says “Depends on their style, if they are aggressive it's easy to punish them, if they play safe they will be unkillable in lane and outscale you,
his lvl3 is weaker than yours so abuse so, ignite before he ults to reduce the healing, hook or E back after he Es you, E lvl1 is strong here.
Complicated to gank.”
lkycch says “Ekko is the only assassin that is strong early, mid and lategame. Most assassins have to risk themselves in order to waveclear, but Ekko's Q allows him to do that without fear. His ultimate is on a low CD and allows him to escape, whilst dealing damage as well! As Zilean, you need to ult the person he focuses, then Q+W+Q his rewind location to stun him, which is extremely difficult. Not impossible, but all I can say is... try your best! If your team is all squishy, I suggest dodging in champ select.”
Aikairi says “Make sure to dodge his second Q as it comes back. If you dodge it, you win the trade. Also make sure you don't stand inside his W as the stun duration is quite long, and also don't stand in his ult as well. Be careful of the extra burst of movement speed he gets after getting 3 stacks of his passive as it might make you miss daggers.”
lkycch says “Ekko is the only assassin that is strong early, mid and lategame. Most assassins have to risk themselves in order to waveclear, but Ekko's Q allows him to do that without fear.

Penpiddin says “Much stronger early game. His Q farms easily and kill ur Pets. His Dash engage and run speed is a pain as pets cant get on him.. Play safe try to avoid trades and farm to 1st time. then you can shove waves and roam to make plays in other lanes. After 2 items u can burst him down. ”
KASSAW1N says “
Kass vs Ekko: Aprovecha tu lvl 1 Con tu W, Mitiga el daño de su E con tu Q, una vez hecho haz tu combo. Ten cuidado por que cuando desaparece de linea puede que este activando su stun para darte ati, lo que tienes que tener en cuenta es que gaste su W que es su fuente de aguante Junto a eso su E (preferiblemente esquivar la W). No te tires del todo por que puede que active ulti. (utiliza el eco de luden o hielo eterno para evitar su escape con la R)”
MisterIncredabel says “He can close gaps. making him an aggressive champion to fight against but eventually in the late game u can combo them dead. My advice if he's very aggressive keep your distance, farm ur passive with q and avoid his q. If you hear his time clock zone move away from where u think it will be if he closes the gap u will be able to punish him for not stunning you because he used his gap closer to attack you.”
YIVENDER says “Skill match up. Can swing either way. Take short trades and do not let Ekko get his passive off. Buying early MR can help in this match up.”
Tortoise_Maniac says “- Match Ekko's waveclear with yours
- If he doesn't Q the wave you can start W (but he will if he's good)
- You outrade him early
- Try to land E's on him, if you miss it isn't the end of the world
- Poke and shove wave with your Q and passive
- Either poke him down to all-in range and go for a kill or shove him in and roam with your jungler ”
BCota says “You can bully tf outta him pre 6 try to dodge Qs so he doesnt get his 3-hit passive. After 6 you can deal with him 2 ways: 1. Fight him wait till he ults then you ult him and all in, 2. All in him and make sure to ignite before he ults to screw his healing then run him down, your ult follow him after he ults
”
ThePandaEvan says “Be careful when Ekko dashes in with his E. Play around Ekko's E +Q+AA combo, but other than that, be aggressive pre-6 since that's when he's weakest. His ult can deny your all in and can turn it around so be cautious after 6. His time-delayed Ekko is a sign where the ult will be so pay attention to that. ”
Chili Dog says “It's ESSENTIAL you don't let him Q the wave lvl 1, just walk up like the angriest player on the planet and proc electro and walk away, repeat. Electrocute recommended.”
poro99 says “I have the hardest time whenever I play against Ekko. This champion is not balanced and it is overtuned. There is no counter play to this champ. You should always ban this champ whenever you play Talon.”
Niqkl says “Ekko isnt much of a threat to you but your team. The same rule of the all- in like with Anivia applies to him as well. Dont all in when he has it! Without it, he is rather squishy.”
Dafioske says “Es relativamente fácil dañarlo y que use su utli antes que te pueda matar pero no te confíes es muy dañados y si se mantiene en buen farm hasta te puede matar o botar de linea”
SkellyBirb says “Ekko is extremely mobile and can survive a lot of your burst with his shield and ultimate. You have to abuse him early game and be safe once he hits level 6 else he can win.”
PROJECT BZ says “Ekko's whole purpose midlane is to permanently shove lane since lvl 1 which is what Zed lacks as a laner. You will never get prio in lane and he is extremely hard to kill as he can itemise damage/armor and has an ult to completely negate Zeds ultimate.”
Snow Day Zoe says “This is one of the champs that are hard to go against if the ekko player is good, but if they are not, just kill them after hitting your e, also he builds first item protobelt, and its another reason for you to one shot, when he uses it.”
vCraze says “Ekko is a very hard matchup, he has pressure on you from very early on. If he goes into fog of war from level 3 on make sure you dont push up as he could be setting up a W from out of vision. You need to stay out of range of Ekko's E otherwise you will not be able to cc him if he gets on top of you. Try to poke him out and scale.”
Sadkid says “Ekko is a tough lane. He will do 1 of 2 things early shove with Q or Q you. If he Qs the wave punish him he is incredibly dependent on his skills. Take E second and make sure to ignite him before he ultis to cut healing. Otherwise beware of his one-shot potential. ”
OxiteoMyst says “Don't let him E you, try to dodge as much Q's as he throws out and oh boy if you get hit by his W...
He out roams you, out damages you, and can remove all the burst you've done to him using his R. DO NOT STEP IN HIS R HOLOGRAM. IF he doesnt play aggro, thank him for being bad.”
SkellyBirb says “Ekko can deal a lot of damage in a short time, but as long as you avoid standing in his shield and slow/stun, you can go even in trading.”
Ezak says “There's not too many large threats since this build is good for sustaining in fights cause of Goredrinker, but Ekko, Veigar, Neeko, and maybe Sylas are annoying”
S4V4 says “What Ekko player is supposed to do? Do a combo on Yasuo, proc his passive and electrocute, and run back until he gets his spells back. How to prevent this? Try not to get hit by his Q in the middle of the lane. If he uses his E to jump on you, make sure to windwall his Q so he has to autoattack you twice after hitting you with his E to proc his passive and electrocute.”
WolfRider01 says “Very skill based matchup. He can all in you and stick to you, so keep that in mind. He can poke with Q as well. Try and dodge his Q, then engage him. Be mindful of his W stun.”
PedrinhoXD says “Ekko and TF have pretty much the same wave clear, but he can trade very well, stay away from the minions to avoid being hit with Q when he is pushing”
Katfire says “You need to be careful with Ekko. You want to try to poke him down with Q and go for short trades. I recommend Electrocute with Boneplating against Ekko. In trades ull want to Q E W to proc electrocute and E away before he gets to proc his passive and his own electrocute. He might E away from your W damage, but that's ok, you are mainly using it here to reset your E fully to get back to safety before he can trade back.
After 6 he becomes more difficult to kill. If you saw him use R at some point and it seems like he still doesn't have it back, but he is playing really aggressive all of the sudden it might be coming back up within a couple of seconds and is trying to take you by surprise. Take care.
If Ekko gets fed he is extremely dangerous since his damage is easy to apply.”
Hqzz says “Ekko can deal a lot of damage to you, it's not always easy to hit your root and his Q makes it hard to get close. He will often try to roam so keep your lane pushed as much as possible. ”
MINISE says “For one Ekko is counterable with Lucian burst and the Collector build, it can shut down the chunkyness of Ekko. Respect his electrocute or phase rush procs and some of his combos post level-5.”
Best Azir Africa says “His engage makes soldier positioning a challenge and getting a kill on him is tough with his ult as using shurima shuffle isn't much of an option. Play passive and don't full engage unless his ult is down and you know you can confirm the kill.
”
MagicalFartz1 says “Aery with ignite. You win early lane, stand outside the wave so he cant poke you with his q. Only E when he E's you or he is not in range to E you. After 6 if your around 50% hp he can dive you. You can waste his ult with one bubble. After he gets 2 items he can 100-0 you if you miss your bubble.”
Zatharah says “MIDs que conseguem chegar e burstar Seraphine muito fácil são seus maiores counters, visto que ela não tem mobilidade e apenas seu W pra segurar o burst.”
Cap Jack says “I think ekko is sleepy busted at the moment, and can be strong against anyone. He wins trades unless your super quick and sneaky. Hes hard to punish for mistakes cause boom r. I suggest playing rumble w electrocute hitting 3 and walking him down with empowered flame thrower imo best way to deal w ekko.”
MartyBG says “An easy matchup for Lux. As long as you hit him with your q he's unable to do anything. While he's rooted he also can't use his root, so its a perfect time to full combo him.”
Papzz says “He has very good burst damage. Many people underestimate him on early and regret it on late. Care always for the position of R. No need to have cleanse, his w is easy to dodge and you have mobility as well. Care for his combo though.”
economistastonks says “Even match up, this is a skill based match up. His ult cancels your ult, but you can try to only use it if he is stunned by your E.
In the lane, dodge his Q and go in for a quick stun, followed by your autos and Q. ”
DrWindwall says “Just dodge his Q and trade him until the 2nd stack of his passsive on you and fall back again then repeat. Careful tho good Ekkos tend to W out of vision.”
Bobbab says “Ekko can be difficult to deal with. But once he has cooldowns he is a sitting duck. Try to bait out or wait out his q or e and all in. When hitting 6 try to roam or fight till he uses ult and then fight him on cooldowns again. his burst does more then yours so extended trades are often better.”
sweodigaming says “Pretty easy lane, just harass him when he is coming for his minions. He does not have high kill threat, so just relax. When stunned he can not ult so try to burst him quickly.”
MetaKnight13373 says “You really cannot solo-kill ekko once he gets his ult, He also has a blink which makes hitting your charm very difficult. However you teamfight much better than Ekko, so as long as you don't put yourself very behind early you should be able to outperform him after 20 minutes. ”
Aukaren says “Play really safe in this matchup as its pretty similar to Akali. Rush Mercury treads and avoid getting caught in his W, if he ever suddenly goes in a bush or lets you push the wave he will 90% be preparing to use his W on you along with his jungler, having flash is no big deal as his e can easily catch up to you, He will constantly Roam , so remember to ping as soon he is missing.”
Midlane God says “Skill matchup
Don't get hit by his W and then trade with him but he deals tons of damage with his passive
His R is also very annoying.”
Magical Rock says “Ekko can be a bit of a problem with his ult. Whenever you go in on him, make sure he is poked down enough so when he comes down after ulting him he is dead.”
TheFwnK says “This champion is very annoying, he will poke you everytime with his drone (or what that thing is). Try to make him use his ult and then you can use yours.”
Grayified says “Ekko is very annoying. He can poke well, he has very good waveclear, he has CC and an amazing escape. If you play correctly you can win the lane, but you should be hoping for an even lane.”
Nazrat says “Similliar to Diana he can run you down , but early on he is still strong enough to outdamage you so pretty much on this matchup all you have to do is control the waves and do not let him freeze you. You have the better wave clear early so use it as your advantage.”
Daeydark says “At level 1, look to push the wave. As you walk up to use W, try moving to the side of the wave first to dodge his Q. Prioritize hitting both passive stacks on him with your W while also hitting the minion wave.”
ZeMoller says “ekko has apparently not had the easiest transition from season 10 to 11, and is very weak at the moment - the only way ekko can trade with you is by proccing his passive with double q and e, or having gotten super fed of roaming and now runs you down.”
TheCatOfCheshire says “He's a hard one. Keep in mind : if you don't have vision on him, he's throwing a W on you. The Q is easy to dodge if he's not engaging, so dodge it. And if he's engaging with e+q you use this combo : charm, R+E BEHIND him to avoid the back of his q, Q ignite (to avoid the heal on of his utlimate) AA then when he uses his ult to run, dash again on him and finish him. Use it if you know that you can kill him. ”
Haywyre says “Super annoying lane but early fights should be in your favor. If you can build a snowfall it'll be really hard for him to get back into the game.”
SkellyBirb says “Ekko's dash and shield can be a huge issue for Bard. Play safe or try to gain your advantage by roaming rather than 1v1ing him. If he charges his dash, try to position yourself in a way where you can stun him with your Q. Play near walls if necessary to avoid getting stunned by him.”
Frixen says “Ekko has really good waveclear, so it is possible that he pushes you in, however if you play it correctly, you can poke him at all times pre-6 and most of the time he cannot return the damage as he is fairly low range. Don't get into all in short range trades, always keep your distance, be mindful of your autospacing and you should have no issue.”
FalleN3 says “Ekko can be a nuisance to lane against but after level 6 he becomes an easier target for you. You need to dodge his (Q) in order to not give him tonnes of free harass. Once level 6 arrives go kill him, just be aware of his Ultimate and don't get trolled into making a silly engage. Ideally your jungler will have some hard CC in order to lock him down during ganks, otherwise he can be quiet slippery.”
Bouhhsolene says “Play comet and start E so you can be sure to poke in the early Levels. Try to hit E when he uses E on you, or when his E is on cooldown. Try to stay out of his Q range, watch out for gank ,play safe post 6 and ping out his roams. If he roams try to take plates or create a CS lead. In teamfight, try to CC him, aim your E at his zone.”
FalleN3 says “Dodge his (Q) and you will make this lane easier for yourself. Try to poke him down a bit before you attempt an all-in. Be aware of his ultimate as he can use this to escape or simply out-trade you. You can (E) out of his (E) if you need to, or you can use your (Q) on a minion/champion either.”
Faithyatta says “One word; Miasma.
You can out kite him, prevent him from dashing, out trade him, etc. by dodging his skillshots, and forcing a zone on him with your miasma. Post-6 you can even miasma to prevent him from ulting!”
Ambience14 says “Similar to Akali, Ekko is difficult to kill but won't have much kill pressure on you if you play smart. Dodge his Q and W and there's nothing he can do. Try to force his ult without using your own whenever you have an advantage. Similar to Mundo, an Ekko without ult can be severely punished. This forces him to play much safer and if he engages again, it's a free kill.”
Reason97 says “His all in can hurt, but it's tricky for him to pop your shield as long as you pay attention. His setup will hurt if he land's it, but it's easy to see coming and avoid as long as you don't take unnecessary risks. ”
Etyrnal says “Ekko has really good Wave Clear that can match us and even be better than us, on top of an Ultimate that can save his life often. I tend to focus my Champion Ban on Ekko”
xAsuta says “Ekko has a lot of damage but not enough to kill you. Pre 6 you should be able to dominate the lane. Lvl 6 is his huge power spike since he literally has 2 lives.”
BloooodTV says “D-Blade. Windwall his Q, deny him getting cs and get him behind in levels/gold, you get your ult first and then just all in. Outscales you. Take Fleet or Conq (Depends on team comp).”
xRumk says “Slightly favoured towards you because he comes close so you can land your e but his mobility is strong enough for him to go 0/2 in lane and still be more proactive on the map than you”
sashadidntwalk says “He could poke you out over and over again in early game and if they are good - kite you to low health. Otherwise, go in for a trade after he Qs so you can poke him down.”
Fadedreformed says “Free lane you outrade , outscale and outroam him. He never wins trades because of your q shield you can actually go after him in his roams and get ahead from them”
DaggerTV_ says “Ekko after 6 can be very anoying.
He will outrade you at lvl 2, but you can beat him if you get lvl 2 or lvl 3 before he does. Be careful of his ult and when he has it up, play acordingly and ult before he ults to reduce his healing by 60%.”
ShockMaster says “Poke him hard in Pre 6 and be carefull with his ult,you can t go all in on him cause he have his ult and you are in this situation a little bit useless,ask your jungler help”
Yuki H. says “Ekko's passive allows for his "hit and run" style of play, but Zed doesn't necessarily encounter that problem since he himself has a lot of mobility as well. Stand behind minions to force Ekko to Q the minion wave early so the wave shoves to you. Until he has a decent amount of AP and points in Q, it will not be enough for him to clear the wave just with one Q, putting him in an awkward position where the minions are low. You can take advantage of this and punish him every time he tries to cs. Try to build a cs lead over him. ”
Proma says “Dshield/Dblade/Sword & pots.
Skill based matchup. Start E lvl 1 and look to chunk him. Post 6 only ult him if he's cc'd otherwise he presses R and get a ton of health back.
Hardest part of the matchup is getting him off you as he gets a movement speed boost.”
Chiefsnake says “This matchup isn't really that bad. just don't get hit by the second half of his Q and you're good. If he engages on you lvl 2 with his E you can just instantly pop your q on him, use a corupting pot and either hit him with your W and auto as he walks back or use the extra MS from your W to kite back then bully him with autos”
Veralion says “A bit tougher than it used to be after a few rounds of frankly unnecessary buffs. W is fast enough to always avoid the recall on his Q, which is where all of his early harass comes from. Most of the time they use Q for lane pressure anyhow, so just don’t hug your creeps and you’ll be fine. You just need to watch out for his stun. Hightail it out of those bubbles when they go down, as it now lasts for an eternity. Never fight into that shield, it's far too big. Pay special attention to your lane position, as his gank assist is ridiculously powerful. If any jungler's CC touches you, you'll get bubble stunned for sure and are probably a very dead dragon. After 6, watch his shadow and do NOT let him ult on you. That shit hurts. Wait for him to use Q on the wave, all in him, do your combo, and move to the side away from the clone. If he immediately retreats, take care you don’t chase him into his ult. You’ll probably have to all in for his ult and then again for the kill later. ”
I1oveZombie says “Its fairly easy to see what he does, and with the poke build you can win it easily id say.
Also if you can double bomb his ghost before he gets back from Ulting that's big.”
Grimkyle says “Ekko is annoying because of his ultimate which if you trade right he should be low and able for you to kill especially if you applied ignite on him you can also simply cancel his e blink on you and it also briefly stuns him because of cast time you can also abuse him early but he will sustain because of corrupting pots and his runes”
RikudouDovahkiin says “Every build of Ekko, mechanic is a not much of a threat to Vladimir since Vlad can easily dodge his stun and escape from his signature combo. Your sustain can help you to win trades more easily since Ekko relies on his leech style gameplay. With PR you can almost negate his slow something like 80%. Be aware of their jungler since Ekko can easily dive Vladimir and get away but you. Your sustain is the keystone in your lane but try to get at least 1-2 scores from him since his tankyness and damage cannot be ignored.”
Silva San says “You are pretty immobile until you have about 3 points in E and some boots so when Ekko leaves vision never stand still don't follow and ward over a wall always listen for the sound q for his W that is vital.”
ai darkfluid says “He should never realistically lose lane. This matchup will consist of you getting one shot, even while ahead while only tickling Ekko. His ultimate can get him out of your stun field (before it can actually stun him), negate all your burst, and he can still run you over without it. Key note: survive for the late game; there is no early game. Play off jungler if they want to make a gank pre-6. There is very little counter play for Viktor.
Preferred rune: Phase Rush/Summon Aery/Comet”
Zoe Sparklepop says “He's a melee mid laner with no early kill pressure so you can just poke him down until he cries and spams /ff
But keep in mind to track his strong ganks, there's a reason this annoying time breaking kid is good in the jungle.”
snukumz says “He's a douche of a champion.
You can try to poke him but if he gets on you at level 2/3 you'll lose 50-75% of your HP.
Be very careful at level 5/6 because he can dive your tower and kill you and get away scott free with his ultimate.
Try to shove waves hard so that he can't roam and kill your team.
You win teamfights.”
1256 says “you outscale him easily, can almost always trade against him but has strong ulti more shove potential and more roam potential+2v2 in his favor so be careful
electro”
LightningTemplar says “He can R your R, or negate a lot of dmg from your R with his W. Yet you should be able to screw him up pre 6. You proc Domination easier than him, so do frequent short trades and don't let him proc his Domination on you and you'll win lane. You can also build Hexdrinker/Maw to remove any kill pressure he has.”
PepeOnDrugs says “Ekko can be a nuisance to lane against but after level 6 he becomes an easier target for you. You need to dodge his (Q) in order to not give him tonnes of free harass. Once level 6 arrives go kill him, just be aware of his Ultimate and don't get trolled into making a silly engage. Ideally your jungler will have some hard CC in order to lock him down during ganks, otherwise he can be quiet slippery.

panger 174 says “otro champ autista, no se que hacer contra el. pega una banda y es bastante tanque. juga a farmear, romear y oneshot al adc
(cometa/elec/dh(”
Debonair Karma says “Skill matchup. Neither of you have any kill potential in this lane, really. Focus on farming and always follow him if he roams. Any summoners work.”
Gageowago says “His q is very similar to Ahri's except that it slows you down a ton if it hits you so try and avoid it. If he hits a q on you he most likely will attempt to e to you and proc his passive and this is typically where you can land an easy charm. Take note of if he has hextech protobelt though, since he can use it to juke your charm at point blank. If you hear him start his w try and get out of where you are and be sure to not go straight backwards (this is also what you should do if he disappears for several seconds). Ekko typically will put it behind you so that you walk into it. Post-6 he will be able to ult away from being one shot so don't commit to an all in unless you know you can kill him twice.”
BigFatCat909 says “Ekko is quite an easy matchup, just remember that you dont always have to wait for his ult before you use your ult. My favourite fight to have against ekko is the ones where he tries to engage with a w stun, ult him to dodge the stun and turn that into an all out brawl.”
KitsyMamori says “Oh lord, this will be hard. Try to knock him away when he engages. He has alot of burst so be careful with a HP-bar lower then 50%. Try to poke and farm a bit, but don't be too aggressive. ”
Kataspina says “Ekko is a easy matchup for kat. Go for Dark harvest and play hard aggro on him. As long as you stack DH alot you should be able to fuck him up and by this point you should showball hard and you will be able to 1v9 easily.”
Lil Tidepod says “Ekko is really mobile. He has a really long stun if he manages to hit it and his ultimate is basically an "oops, I messed up" reset. It's a get out of jail free card that I'll continue to hate until I inevitably stop playing League of Legends. If you're going to trade with him, make sure to dodge his Q. That's his bread and butter ability and he needs it to stack his passive. If you dodge it, root him in place and get that E Q off. It will chunk lots of health. If he uses his E, simply W him before he uses the blink on it.”
Fhizzikx says “This champion has lots of mobility and burst. You will probably get pushed in and he can easily dive you if you're low enough. Try to keep the wave thinned out and prevent it from crashing because if it crashes he will dive you with his w shield e auto and r if he needs to. If you can play this matchup properly you can win pretty easily. Keep in mind where his r is so you don't get caught by his r because that ability CHUNKS. If you do however be prepared to flash out.
Play off of cooldowns as he is also a mage and trade from a distance. ”
Capparelli says “I don't see him often but when I do it sucks, his damage early is way higher then yours don't fight him, if you hit 6 before him somehow engage and blow him up if you don't look to trade safely and roam, if you bait his R hes an easy kill, try to keep canopy ready for if he stuns you or tries to dive on you”
ahrienthusiastmain says “You can perma shove in the wave to avoid trades. A good ekko will always outdamage you if he gets a good angle and dodges your charm. Ekko with first cloud drake is very strong, making it a major threat. He will probably outscale you as well and have high mobility. Thus, you need to build mobility as well. ”
MartinMorningstar says “He wants to fight, he will fight, he will rage when he cant use R due to CC, its cute. Fight him in lane or when you have liandry's and he should be very manageable. Care for his ult and him getting the engage on you. ”
serruh says “although this champ is very unbalanced in the jungle, it's actually very manageable in mid and it just happens that it's been one of the ryze's easiest matchups since forever. early trades are free if you root him since he cant just zoom away with passive and actually takes meaningful damage, your EW just fucks him in general since he cant even ult while he's cced. Can prove to be a threat later on in sidelane, but you have the edge through the majority of the game”
RockitoAhri says “Not that easy, be aware of Ekko throwing W's after backing behind a wall. Don't get hit by the Q. Keep an ultimate charge to catch up on him after he uses his R. ”
coongang says “arrest him he aint no threat. he just a criminal. its just smth about the color of his skin that makes me think that way. not sure doe.”
ER1KLB says “Hard Match-UP. His R is a free "out of jail" and all your effort is in vain ...
He has CC, damage, EVERYTHING.
You'll have to be really skilled if you want to 1v1 him.”
Zontasuna says “You have to destroy him in early, or you will easile get upset when he uses his R and just recovers all hp you have done to him... You end up without your R vs very good champion”
M1keSujeffki says “He has good burst but he is a melee champ with only his E as a gap closer. His W is quite predictable. Q him if he walks towards you to engage, be careful of where his "past self" is. Avoid extended trades as his passive gives him an advantage.”
theboywhodominatedaplat says “he can wave clear better than you pre 3 , try to poke him with your Q and if he trades trade back untill you reach level 4 and bait his shield and then all in him, once he gets to level 6 always harrass him before he uses his ulti so when he R's his HP dont be full ”
Sloyr says “His Passive damage is really high, so you have to dodge his Q and then go for trades, always dodge his W and try to force him to use his R without risking too much. Once he builds Lichbane and Protobelt he will always kill you. In teamfights try to apply your 60% healing reduction with R so that he doesn't heal much from his R.”
G7_Zeke says “He's complete cancer. Honestly, the only thing that makes Ekko so strong is his R. You're gonna all-in him? Well, he's gonna all-in you, and then he's gonna press R, and finish you off. He's pretty much just a press-r champ. (Not trying to insult Ekko mains, just salty over how cheesy you all are.)”
Gogicha55 says “Most Ekko's will dodge your second W With E and try to jump on you, so you just time your Q to leap and pull your second W back to him and proc Your passive, i have never met a good ekko so i can't tell you much here but he can beat you lvl 6 and outscales you so either roam or stomp him in lane and close out the game early”
8wolf says “Good waveclear for an assassin, and good sustain with his shield and ult. Poke him out and if he engages on you ult and dash away. Luckily, he is not that mobile compared to other assassins.”
MrRiots says “Starting Item: Dorans + Potion
This is a hard matchup, hell get close, hell stun you and then rewind time. But not impossible, poke alot and harass early game.”
Tehqo says “He is melee, so it is easy to outpoke him, but once he reaches 6, he's almost unkillable. The worst part is that he can just go through your ult with his blink. Even if you ult him under turret, he just ults himself out. The only times you might be able to ever kill him is when his ult is down. BE WARY OF HIS STUN.”
NebuIa says “Ekko is good into Zoe because he can build merc treads and never die. You can pressure him hard early but he will be very frustrating to deal with after a few items. He just splits and you can't deal with it, so make sure to try and smash him early.”
Je Suis Azir says “Fuck this guy, you are going to have to stay at max range. Just CS perfectly and remain at length to avoid him getting his entire stupid kit on you. Good news is, if you do not get hit by his Q, his kit becomes much less powerful. Be mindful of his cooldowns, and remember he's a dick who can all in for no reason. Awareness is the game, just be aware of his kit and his cooldowns.”
Impswitch says “Dont get stuned and just poke as much as you can. His ult makes it hard to get kill confirms but you should be able to go even pretty easy. what sucks is he can push lane pretty hard making it hard to roam.”
Dgraider says “This matchup is free for Rumble. I'd advise starting Doran's Ring into this one. If Ekko jungle, you can fight the 1v2 as long as you dodge his stun(try to get him and your laner with your ultimate) and have your R”
KingBladePlayZ says “He's border lining even and major threat, the treat of his w can put him in a good spot against a Kat, wait for him to use either w or e then try for a trade but don't over commit as his damage can be quite much.”
ioannissid says “He is the master of baiting people so as long as you fight him without his cooldowns you can win but careful his cooldowns are really small”
DravensBukkake says “Ignite matchup.
Harass him at all costs. Don't let him farm. If he spams Q on your wave, also shove since he's trying to shove and roam, so make the lane even so he can't. Place soldiers ontop of minions when they're low, force him to farm with Q. If he suddenly disappears for a bit, he's walking back to place W, so also walk back. If he's gone for a while, just go back and shove the wave in, as he backed or is roaming. If he manages to E ontop you, E away, pause, AA Q AA him to proc electrocute. Constantly harass, constantly harass, cannot emphasize that enough.”
Mid Win Repeat says “You can solo kill him all day before level 6. What makes him a threat is his one item power spike. Taliyah cannot do much to prevent Ekko from getting fed off of a level 6-7 bot roam on Ekko. The key to this match up is be extremely proactive and aggressive, once hes down keep him down.”
MarkeleleYasuo says “always use w when he casts his e blink at you, if he gets ahead this lane can be a pain in the ass so dont give him many opportunities ”
SupaSnor says “Not to big of a threat just dont underestimate him and punish him if he wastes his abilities. Dont let him proc his passive or his movement speed will allow him to ignore your trade damage and just run away.”
Marumo says “Threat level 9.
Of course Veigar doesn't like to play burst champions, but Ekko is really high on the list of hatred. Ekkos ult can effectively nulify your, preventing you from doing exactly what you want to. Your cc isn't a certain hit, and with the large cooldown you likely won't have it up (in the low levels) either to stop his ultimate.”
YeeDS says “Ekko mid has become popular and with ignite he can be very dangerous. Watchout for his level 3 it can be deadly and if you see his w on you don't be afraid of flashing. You counter him with your E W combo because then he can't ult..”
Rider0 says “his lvl 2 burst is insane with q and e, i'd recommend taking pool 2nd, also cannot one shot him while his ult is up so don't wast your combo on him.
pushes the wave insanely fast early on and last hitting under tower early is rough, try to match his waveclear or force him to throw q's at you and not the minion wave and just outscale. Make sure to ward areas in the river as he will just look to push and roam”
EvilBird090 says “Try to bait out Ekko Q level 1 on yourself so it does not hit the wave and push it. Ekko is very abusable in lane as he is melee. When you Q him he probably wants to E onto you, you can try to pool that but be sure to pool his 3rd stack as it is very most of his burst damage lies. With ignite and ult you can look for a kill even if he has ult available. Most of the time you are just gonna be able to win this matchup because of the ranged vs melee advantage.”
teekayem says “A good Ekko has answers for a lot of your kit, and can deny you kills while keeping you at your tower so you never roam. If you win the lane he's not a problem, but I would say this is one of Diana's harder matchups.”
Cloud375 says “Honestly, Ekko is rather annoying. He can burst you quite easily from level 2 if you do not position correctly. The best thing to do is to let the waves come to you and have your jungler gank as much as possible or damage your way into a kill range.”
Tayna says “Ekko will harass you but you just have to save your Q, everytime he gets close, get him with your Q, put a W, and watch him slowly die lol it's so fun!”
Garybaldo says “Early game he outpushes and outbursts you, he will fall off late game but be careful in teamfights as his stun will be a pain in the ass, stay pasive in lane and wait till you outscale. Use your W to see if he's roaming, spam-ping the hell out of sidelanes when missing, he has great roam potential”
minebaby says “Its hard for u to kill him, so just farm.
Dont focus so much in him, is better for you to help your bot side and win a free ADC kill since that you can one shot EASLY!”
Fairy Tale says “Hard to play against but winnable matchup. Try to poke him early game and make him miss minions. After Ekko reaches lvl 6 gonna be annoying to play against him. Try to build a lead before 6 against him.”
Novok says “Not that easy, be aware of Ekko throwing W's after backing behind a wall. Don't get hit by the Q. Keep an ultimate charge to catch up on him after he uses his R. ”
Flakees says “In this one you both have 3 abilites, since Ekko can just ult when you ult and no one takes damage, BUT, his ult gives him some health back whilst your is just completly removed, so i think you can win vs Ekko, but your snowball potencial is lower compared to other mids.”
Euphoric Toaster says “So long as you dodge his stun, and most of his Qs, this is a very easy lane. Early on, you're able to harass him HEAVILY and set him very far back. If at any point he ever uses his E to jump on you or to last hit a minion, you get a free stun on him when he uses the second part (the blink) meaning unless he can oneshot you or stun you, he should never be able to kill your. If you play correctly, any all-in attempt by him should result in either you bursting him and killing him before he Ults, or just a trade of Ults. He DOES however get to the point where he can pretty quickly push waves with his Q, but you still should be able to match or out-shove him most of the time.”
J Husky says “This guy can't be more easy to win. He is melee so you can harass him with auto attacks and your Q. Everytime he cast his E against you, he will lose the trade because you can hit him with the entire combo and he won't be able to scape. A good ekko will play very safe against you. If he is going to stun you with his W-E , just E and W.”
SeeEl says “He's literally just ASOL but melee. Will try shove you in with Q and roam or go for solo kills if you are gorilla enough to sit there and let him stun you.”
Big Shawn says “A champion who you should win against, but also not under estimate. There are good Ekko players out there, meaning you shouldn't be too confident against one as his Outplay Potential is high.”
Big Shawn says “Kennen vs Ekko. As I main both of these champs, I can confirm that it is disgusting for both sides to meet each other. Ekko's passive allows for the high damage to be triggered on Kennen should Kennen be caught off-guard. From Kennen's perspective, the CC you have available should allow you to win trades against Ekko, especially when stunned.”
Fox1ne says “Take barrier on this one,all you have to do is try to roam. The lane is really hard to win cause of his all in and kill potential on you. And his ulti makes him unkillable laner and impossible to win against.”
DVL CHALLNGR says “You MUST build Hexdrinker in Early Game and don't approach him because his Passive can do much damage that you won't absorb
If you dodge his Q he will struggle doing Passive to you because he will need E
You can dodge his W stun with your R but he can absorb your damage with his shield and can easily dodge your shurikens and Mark with his R”
ZenonZeni says “Ekko is considered an even matchup against ahri. When playing against him try to kill him before level 6 then roam hard. But otherwise, he will become a threat.”
Shwaggy says “He can repeatedly go in on you without much consequence most times with his burst of damage and MS. He is also hard to lockdown with his ult and movement.”
Wizboy73 says “this match is dependand on who is better. You both scale amazing. ekko has his R but cant use it when stunned so focus him if you get him in your R, take barier or TP to get a quick hex core upgrade.”
EvilOranges says “D-Blade. This is easy because he cannot trade with you. Windwall his Q, and watch for his E-Q-Protobelt-AA combo. Stay out of his W stun and you will be fine. He will shove the wave over and over again, but you can too, so follow his roams.”
empoleonz0 says “Like most mobile champions, can easily scooch out of the way of your slow moving Q; watch cooldowns on his E and try to bait him into coming closer before turning on him with a Q+E”
x3SnowyBunny says “You should be able to almost always sidestep his Qs. Watch out for his Ult's shadow as he might try to go all in on you if he manages to land it on you.”
schulti012 says “This matchup can be really snowbally but you can win trades early with Q-W. Trade when his Q/E is down. After 6 you can look for all-ins, you can zone and outroam him.”
Zero Two says “Dodge his Q and play safe. Early, you will destroy him if you keep your distance. Hang back, and look for engages whenever possible. After level 6, play even safer and keep in mind that his ult can be used as both an escape and damage ability.”
MamaDuck says “Ekko is a scary pick against Talon. He has amazing poke, very high damage and a good wave clear. I would recommend to focus landing your "W" on him. It slows him (which could lead to him dead) and deal a bit of damage to him. Poke him down until he backs up or dies with a combo from you. I recommend to take it quite easy and only go for the kill if you are 100% sure you will get it.”
Best Akali Fra says “Ekko is one of the lowest counter of Akali... But he can also poke you from behind minions (Ekko Q) and trade you easily with no escape if ekko's W/Z has been perfectly placed (Ekko W/Z = Slow / Stun) !!”
SepekuAW says “Easy in lane, impossible late game.
He has everything he needs to woop your ass mid-late game. Tons of mobility, high burst damage, and a reset that gives all his hp back. NEVER ulti ekko unless you land your stun!!
In lane it's easy, just punish him whenever he goes to farm. never use your E on him until he E's.. only Q + auto poke.. the second he uses his E to dodge your q he's going to jump you.. W your Q sphere and throw it on top of yourself.. then stun him,, step back a bit.. q him and auto his ass down.”
Pumparum says “Ekko can clear fairly efficiently but his manapool isn't very big. He may assume he can kill you and engage on you depleting his mana even fast. As long as you dodge the stun you will always trade better.
He may get fed up and roam in which you can easily follow, or you can clear and roam after he has wasted all his mana and needs to back.”
Zeprius says “Annoying but no one knows how to play Ekko except SaintKillian (No offence) ... just go Morellos as 4th item if he is catching up to you... if he gets ahead just farm underturret... he wont be able to dive you unless he hits his stun and you dont have pool.”
ClemexD10 says “Against Ekko you only need to avoid him from hitting the 3rd ability/basic of his passive, dodge his W (it will be easy since its cast is very perceptible).”
Galactroce says “Ekko est un redoutable assassin! Il peut facilement esquiver votre Z grâce à son E et éviter comme Ahri votre ult avec son E et Ult. Et étant un assassin très fort et ''safe" il peut vous faire de gros dégâts même sous votre tourelle et survivre avec son R.”
kilgta says “its a decent matchup. I would say its slightly ekko favored but you have ways to annoy him, ult him before he ults and while hes low hp and he will be dead all game. ult him too early and he wins game. respect his electrocute dmg after level 3 and farm safely.”
unownreality says “he will survive your burst and clear lanes fast. Don't let him close the gap. Try not to use your full combo unless his ult is on cooldown. Ekko can just as easily kill you after returning. ”
MechaaZero says “I have no problem with this lane. All you have to do is wait for him to make an attempt to engage, get good positioning, land and E,Q, and things will fall in line. They have for me every time.”
CC Diana says “Ekko is a better Diana with slightly less burst damage. He has the CC Diana craves and a get-out-of-jail-free card in his ult. At level 2, he will often E onto you to ensure he hits his Q and proc his passive. When he does this, use your W and poke him with Q -> AA. If you are running Electrocute you should out-trade him. Due to the similarities between Diana and Ekko, the matchup isn't very difficult, just incredibly annoying since he has a reset button. Despite being stronger at the early levels, you outclass him damage wise once you hit 6 so use that to your advantage.”
maplecat21 says “Super easy matchup, unless the ekko is super good. I only know 1 ekko who's beaten my anivia, and even that's only because we practiced laning against each other for a while with these picks to learn the matchup thoroughly. Dodge the stun, hit your stun, and you're good.”
EvilOranges says “Corruption Potion. Similar to Katarina, but he will push over and over and over again. Farm under turret, and try not to get poked by his Q. When trading, dodge at least a part of his Q to let you trade back. If he procs his passive he will just run away.”
RagexAddict says “Ekko is more of a skill matchup for Fizz. The key to beating an Ekko in lane is to wait for him to throw a Q at you to try to wave clear and/or harass. When that ability is down, try to go in on him to win trades or all in him. Be mindful of your positioning against Ekko when he turns level 6. Don't get baited or caught out by his ultimate.”
poolooto says “You can kill him early on (levels 2-4) if you dodge his Q. The lane becomes easier if you have an early lead. Once he gets his R and some HP items, it will be very hard to kill him. ”
Wrxith says “Quite hard. Harder for pyke early since pyke doesn't have too much damage early. His shield and dmg can be hard to counter. He can also R away from your ult.”
SrSuders says “Ekko und Talon sind definitiv gleich stark wie ich finde. Demnach kommt es hier aufs Decision Making an.
Weicht man der Ekko W aus, hat man gute Chancen den Trade zu gewinnen, demnach sollte man den Schild abklingen lassen.”
LyndonK9 says “When he e's on you it makes him an easy charm target and you win most trades as long as he doesn't get his passive off so dodge his Q. You usually can't all in him because of his health recovery from his ult, but if you poke him beforehand his ult will recover less health. If you decide to all in try not to burst him down instantly but stall out the fight longer, that way he recovers less health and his ult won't warp him to safety.”
PhoenixianSlayer says “He can't do anything to you if you keep your distance, and try to keep your stars both on him and his double when chasing him. That way it would be pointless to redo since he will just die, just running in the opposite direction”
borsamalac says “He has good waves shove with Q spam, try to do same and harass him at early game.The problem with him is he can do fast trades and run away with his passive. Keep the range so if he cant use E you are good. If he is missing usually he is waiting in the other side of the wall to stun you. Save your W for this or to disengage when he use E.”
Yenwai says “he CAN get you if you over extend with less than 4 minions but otherwise dodge his Q and make sure to bait his R before yours unless you have the jungler coming to gank.”
YourBestSenpai says “Look out for his e, he can get to you easily and destroy you if you miss your charm. Care about his w as well. Pretty hard to kill as he will heal MOST of the damage you deal with his ult.”
BL00dY3nD says “You can dodge his W (Stun) by using you E+W combo(use E for dealing damage to him cause he will get close to you) if you can just out run his W. ”
Charon25 says “Peut être compliqué à tuer après le niveau 6, mais pas de difficultés particulières sinon.
Ignite important pour counter la régen de son ult.”
CharmingFeather says “Pretty big threat just because of his ult and large bursts. So try to just poke with your Q until he is low enough to go in. But before you go in, wait 4 seconds because of ult.”
QueenBrie says “People say he's a big counter but I've never lose to ekko as vlad in my life, it's a matchup that just works for some people and doesn't for others.”
vukashin.xyz says “Dodge at least his 2nd Q
Go for W>E>Q when he doesn't have Q
He can dodge you R with his R
And be carefull when he isn't on map since he is probably roaming or charging W
Dont trade when he has W shield
He is not huge threat but you wont kill him easily
Use 3rd rune setup”
AzureArmatt says “Ekko is tricky match up because he can rewind time and heal back the portion of your burst, your best bet is to try catching him with your charm + orb of deception combo so it will proc electrocute and if he will be low on hp force him to rewind (don't forget to ignite him to reduce his healing) then you will go with your ultimate for a kill. he's an assassin so his burst potential is quite hard, don't let him stack his passive on you (blue ring around you) and don't stay in same place where his clone is since his ultimate has insane scaling. Avoiding his stun is basic + his zone will give him shield so don't waste your spells when he has it.”
JV10 says “PRE 3
Farm will be easier than most champs, try to avoid his Q and you should be safe. Just farm up.
LEVEL 3
If you have the lane in your tower just try to poak him.
If jungler shows make sure you hit that E, after he will flash, aim that Q to make sure you bring him back and finish him.
LEVEL 6
You need to all in him if you reach 6 before him otherwise don't.
Try to reach 6 before him check your XP bar once you are 1/2 minion away try to stun him with your E while killing the last minions to reach 6. (HARD TO DO)
After just tap Q -> Tiamat -> AA -> R
He will die.
AFTER 6
Ekko will try to roam, if he doesn't a lane against Ekko is not that hard. avoid his Q and if you will be ok.
If he hits the Q just make sure you try to go near your tower if he jumps to you use Your Q to throw him to the tower and E towards your tower stunning him in tower range.
NOTES:
Make sure you utilize you Tiamat under the tower for some sick combo. (Low minions health while he is behind them in cover, then once you know you can kill the minion he is behind with Tiamat use Tiamat, Q him to tower range, use E (try to get him and other minions) Ignite --> AA (ulty if required))”
Hatzo1vs9 says “The only match up you can actually take ignite , he is melee so you can poke him to death , if he tries to E on you use your w+aftershock and after 6 with ignite he is absolutely doomed
”
OmegaSquadVeigar says “Shoves you in early, you can take trades with him as long as he doesn't have shield, try to poke him whenever he tries to cs/push the wave. Always watch out for his ult's hologram.
Mid game/Late game this matchup is kinda easy, as long as you land your stun you should be able to burst him down before he can even use his Chronobreak.
If he gets ahead/you're afraid that you might get bursted down by him, take Banshee's Veil.”
Shaawn says “Skilled matchup, he will always try to perma shove the wave to get safe cs, try to harass him when he doesn't have his q, be aware when he goes out of vision, as most Ekko players will be looking to land a W (stun) on you.”
Dudstrol says “Ekko segue quase o padrão da Diana, ele entra causa o dano só que após isso ele foge. Por isso evite de chegar perto dele e faça pequenas trocas para tirar a vida dele e não deixa-lo a vontade na rota.”
Valor_Chaos says “Skill match up. Fairly easy, just dont get caught in his q. If he engages on you when your passive is stacked then just whap him with q and e and youll win trades. ”
overweight_zoe says “Wave clear match up but you'll get more opportunity to harass him. Just make sure to maximize your Q's to allow you clear while also harassing. Can be a hard lane if you allow him to shove you in.”
Jammy158 says “Block his Q with windwall during trades. Harass with Q if he steps up for CS. He can outshove you and roam so warn your team. If he's MIA, he might look to W in lane from fog of war, respect that. At 6, it's very much a skill matchup.”
kyuwui says “You should definitely play safe especially if its a good player, once he gets ahead of you he can practically one shot you if you don't have health.”
Jahim says “This is a skillmatchup. Dodge the frist part of his Q with your E then when it comes back around if you havent already used ur Q you're going to want to Q to dodge the second part of it”
Jenkinsu says “Ekko's range is abysmal which makes it easy for you to abuse. Dodge his slow disc thingy and he can't do much. Keep him at a distance and you should be fine”
Junix L9 says “You can try to get your Dark Harvest stacks out of him, because he is an AP Melee Champion like you.
Don't get hit by his W or you will lose the trade. ”
Eli The Bat says “Another tank like mid champion....
Avoiding his "E" will prevent him from doing whatever he wants.... but even with that, he still has Explosive damage, so be carefull when laining against him....”
apsonalol says “Ekko é bem móvel e chato de lidar, porém por ele ser melee, você força que ele farm usando as habilidades será muito bom para você ter controle da rota, já que ekko gasta bastante mana no começo do jogo, só tome cuidado se ele vir pra cima de você com E , guarde sempre a passiva do W para quando ele fizer isso, vai evitar com que ele mate você, tente pegar lvl 6 primeiro que ele, assim você consegue matar ele ou setar um gank com seu jungler”
Dr Wonderdrugs says “Ekko du simple fait d'être un assassin ne vous facilitera pas la tâche votre second problème c'est qu'il à lui aussi la capacité de regen ses pv en utlisant son R. Quant à son E lui permettant de dash lui collé une bombe est difficile pour un débutant.”
moutenn says “Ekko is not that hard of a matchup. His r does counter yours but it is not a problem. You just have to send out your combo, and see what he does. If he R's here, just use you R. But mostly just AA him until he has to R. Then you can R.”
Itsyaboyorchid says “Ekko is very similar to Fizz, with 2 exceptions, he doesn't scale nearly as quickly as Fizz. On top of that, his R can absorb most of your damage, paired with ignite or a solid stun, you should be able to do the trick. Banking on your burst isn't quite reliable, so bank on out scaling him. Once you hit level 3, your ability to control the wave with Q-E-W should be able to starve out the opponent. Make sure to actively poke him when he attempts to farm, and if he gets low enough/you hit 6 before him, kill him. The sooner you snowball the better.”
LCAU says “yucky champion again, no idea how to play against him. he scales too hard and has a stun that counters ur ult. ask for ganks. start long sword+pots.”
Draczor says “On level 1 you can poke him freely with Q and pressure him away but avoid getting too near him as you will be in range of his Q and the dmg that you will take will be devastating if he can proc his passive on you. After level 2 do not get too close to him and poke him with your laser. If he uses his Q on the wave then you can go and freely poke him, be aware of his Q that returns to him. If his ult is up don't chase him, otherwise you have a risk of dying. Make sure to pay attention if he goes out of vision, it is possible that he casted his W on you so walk a little back just to be safe. If he uses his E on you you can place your gravity field on him. The moment he get's stunned you can either just use Q + AA and E or all in on him with your ultimate if he has no ult up.”
Dralexus says “I personally win again most Ekko's, but a good one knows how to escape death. So try to bait his ulti, heal up and go in again. DO NOT ULTI WITH HIS ULTI UP UNLESS U INSTA KILL HIM !”
Gambinos says “I feel as if a good Ekko can go against a Good Yas evenly. Ekko has a stun ability. Try avoiding that as much as you can.
When going against an Ekko, try wasting his ult, that way, you can end him off you with your ult or such. Wind wall his Q if it's about to hit you as it slow you down.”
Sozzoh says “Ekko is melee, so poke him pre-6 as hard as you can. Be careful though, a good Ekko can 100-0 you at level 3. Once Ekko reaches 6, he is almost unkillable. Ekko can also blink over your ult, so be careful. The only time you may be able to kill him post-6 is when his ult is down. His stun is fairly easy to dodge, but still be careful if you're not paying attention.”
Witwickies says “Yes, you can poke him as much as you can. But unfortunately, you will probably be unable to kill him. What is more, he has kit enablig to simply blow you away is you will get cought out of position.”
undeadsoldiers says “He shouldn't be too big of a problem. He has a pretty good poke with Q and he will clear before you. Watch out for his shove>roam route.”
ZF.PandaYang says “Just don't stacked by his passive and hit by his W and you will be okay, be aware of his ult and ignite him so he can't reengage and fight again, MR boots and Hex are your go to.”
Jukapiz says “Can be hard to counter especially when he has ult available. When you send your R to him, he can easily defend it by ult. He can also land some damage on you, focus to dodge.”
Eccentrik says “Interestingly, one of the most passive matchups unless enemy team ganks first. Dodge his Q whenever it comes back, also, don't let him outscale you.”
DaBigNut says “Just Ekko, stay away from Q and W and E and basically farm under turret if laning against him or wait for his ult/combos to be used before engaging.
Poking is highly recommended when fighting him and also rooting him up so he can neither dash in nor use any of his abilities nor auto attack since he is uses melee.”
iiCrispi says “Force a trade at him when he misses his q. If Ekko misses his q at you, he is very vulnerable to damage, but don't go all in for the most, you never know if he could make an outplay.”
asffg123 says “Ekko can counter your E with his dash, and his mobility/burst will outtrade yours. His ultimate counters yours as well. Play safe and teamfight. Try to keep an equal laning phase.
Warning - This champion can and will roam to counter a safe playstyle. Ping accordingly.”
DuhBrandon says “With Ekko you should win trades until level 6 than you will start losing mainly because of his R. an Ekko wouldn't care about taking much damage because his ult makes him Tracer. And he will do more damage than you as the game goes on. So my advice to you is to farm till late game and make use of ganks because if you are ahead you should be fine.”
B3rt0nha says “Champion who can dodge (with difficulty but can get) of his abilities, when he arrives LV6 he can make you spend all your skills and come back to life”
Palme201 says “Ask for a early gank and you can outtrade him every time. Care for his 6 its annoying. His Late game is stronger than yours. Again... finish fast.”
VAJPi says “So probably you wont kill him often cuz of his R. Also he will always engage with his dash after your charm expires so keep your distance.”
Smol Jelly says “Ekko hits the reset button on your combos, quite literally. Try to poke him down so he ults before you go in for a one-shot combo. Otherwise, he can negate your entire burst.”
ShokLoL says “Ekko is fairly easy but has a few tricks to be aware of. His level 1 E start hail of blades trade is very strong, to avoid this just play in your creep wave and trade back as best you can with Q + electrocute. If he starts to push the waves with Q, you need to stand to the side of the wave to be in a position to zone him off while his Q is down. Level 2+ trades should pretty much be in your favor, but be careful of being caught by his W if he casts it out of vision.”
Zeekar says “He has to go all in, and his biggest counter is CC. Guess what you have. In laning phases you can generally outsustain him with smart play, and lategame, with followup from your team, you can make sure he doesn't have time to ult due to your burst + your CC combo. ”
Chuleex says “Ekko has a lot of mobility and survability, once he uses his e or w you can look to trade back, he usually can gap close very easy and fast be carefull early game, w back combo can be good to trade back but wont avoid his damage, while he doesnt proc passive you can make the trade possitive, go hexdrinker and bait his w to go for an all in, you can combo on the windows he gives you after he uses e and q, dont combo him if he procs passive as he can easily run”
ShokLoL says “Against Ekko take grasp + boneplating. If he has hail of blades you should still be able to beat him level 1 if he tries to E onto you while in the creep wave. If he starts Q, look to zone him off the wave while it's down and push him in. The only real danger in this matchup is being caught too far up in the wave, or him finding a random W onto you.”
zolamalo says “Focus on poking him early and denying him farm, but be cautious of his all-in potential once he hits level 6. Position safely to avoid his W stun and try to burst him down before he can use his ultimate to escape or heal.”
ShokLoL says “Against Ekko you need to take aery + bone plating and shieldbash. You should be able to win trades even he Es on you directly. Just make you sure you don't waste too much mana on Es at level 2 and try not to be caught by his W out of fog cheese.”
