I'm a Ekko otp who has been playing him since release, i hit Diamond 3 55lp on EUW during preseason 8.

Ekko has a lot of favourable or decent match ups in the meta right now, and he is the only assassin who can go hyper aggressive without dying due to his , making him super slippery.

Because Ekko is a melee champion in the mid lane he will have a hard time farming and getting poked out of lane, but after an item or 2 you will hit your spike where you can start one shotting squishies.

His bread and butter combo is  + AA to proc 

Hi and welcome to my guide!

I'm an Ekko otp from EUW hitting diamond 3 during preseason 8. I've played Ekko since release and i've been playing since season 1 and i find him being the most fun champion to play in league, escpecially when he got a Ooops button as his ultimate making him far more aggressive than any other champion.

This is a small guide for anyone wanting to learn Ekko and his match ups and if you have any questions just post it in the comments and i'll try to respond

Before we get to how to play this bad boy let's talk about why you should play him instead of champions that are similiar like  or  or  or . A few seasons back  was played a lot tank top because of his great base damage from his  and , so Riot had to rebalance him, taking down his base damage and taking up his scaling, making him a monster late game as an ap assassin.

And he has almost everything in his kit, he can shove wasves easily with his , burst i with , hard CC  and a safe way to reposition himself . I think personally he is fun to play just because he can go hyper aggro without being punished.

Like any other melee champions mid lane you are going to get bullied by the enemy laner.  waveclear is really mediocre before he hits level 9 with around 80-100 AP, his Q costs a lot of mana and after the  changes it makes it even harder to permapush with him. But the main objective like any other assassins if you don't win lane is shoving in the wave and roam to a side lane getting kills.

At lvl 1 you want the wave be pushing against you making it you hit lvl 2 before the enemy, at lvl 2 you want to upgrade  using your  combo to poke down the enemy, but because this isn't thunderlords you have to auto the enemy one more time to proc it, making it quite risky for some extra poke back.

When you learn  you can cheese the enemy by walking to fog and try to stun the enemy then going all in for the kill or extra poke, but don't do it too much because it gets too readable after a few times. You can also bait your laner by using it and they will fall back so you can farm a little bit in peace.

At 6 you should be going way more aggro or start going to side lanes and dive with your jungler, you should be the one who starts aggroing turret and when you are low just  and it resets the aggro. And always try to position yourself before hand that you can hit your ultimate.

At lvl 7-8 with 100 or more ap you can clear the mage minions with your  and melee's with an extra auto attack. At lvl 9 you don't need 100 ap to clear becuase you would've maxed you Q.

Mid game, if you have  then you should be the one splitting with teleport up. You got really good wave clear and turret damage + your 1v1 should almost win every 1v1 situation if you are not behind.

Late game you should be the 2nd or 3rd to engange except if you hit a really good  on the enemy team, and remember you can pop your bubble using  and  through it. And be careful when you ult, because people can just hard CC you so you can't ult back. In the late game with 7 items you should be pretty much one of the strongest champions in game due to Ekko's insane scaling, so just play it safe and try flanking their squishies and delete them from the fight

 isn't as fancy as people think, your main combo is  + an auto attack to proc .

You can mix it up hitting your  first and then .

Or if you hit twice on your  you can  to proc 

Always start a fight with  so you can either stun them or start a fight with a decent shield. Remember you can  inside your bubble to proc it and also  through it also works

Always try to think ahead and set up your  so it also hits your target
