Tips Against Ekko in the Jungle Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
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.
”
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.”
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 “Its skill matchup, if you play rhaast you should be fine as long as you build good items, try to not fall behind, hes stronger early. But if you play assasin you cant oneshot him uneless he gets stunned. If he uses her R try to dodge it with your Q or R if it is possible. Play near objectives or teamfights.”
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.”
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.”
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.
”
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.”

Hazardist says “Time your CC chain correctly to prevent the enemy Ekko from using his R and surviving your burst.
The ideal combo is to tag him with your E, Impale him and stun him with an auto after the suppression ends.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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)”
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.”
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.”
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”
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”
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.”
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. ”
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.”
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. ”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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 Inspiration or Glacial. For AP, go CotSQ or Everfrost, Night Harvester optional. For Support, go Shurelya's to counter specifically Ekko, but Moonstone is also viable depending on enemy comp.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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”
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.”
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. ”
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.”
nZk01 says “very easy, he has a mediocre early clear and is super useless till he gets his first item, he cant gank properly either, just outfarm and invade him”
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. ”
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.”
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..”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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”
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.”
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.”
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. ”
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.”
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!”
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”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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 “Ekko is known for his gapclosing abilities. If he 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 R to also escape your ultimate if necessary. Make sure to look at his shadow/echo because you may be able to time a root perfectly.”
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.”
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
”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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 “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.”
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.”
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. ”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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 . ”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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).”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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”
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.”

Tips Against Ekko in Middle Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
darkezmond says “Unpleasant to his W, if he tries to contact you, run away with his E and poke W=>Q”
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 “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 crown.”
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.”
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”
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.”
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.”
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]”
Shaco Mid Lane says “You can just Q away when he tries to all in you. Your boxes can deny him from making plays. (E-max if not behind, W-max if behind)”
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 ultimate 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 “Okay: when this guy uses E and is already in the animation to attack you, throw Q immediately on yourself. This results a guaranteed hit, which grants enough sustain and movement speed to prevent more damage. After he's done comboing you and backs off, you should throw another Q and trust me you win the trade at the end of it all.
One good trick is that you can silence him when he attempts to oneshot you in the middle of your own team, so that he can't ult back or use other abilities. This way he probably dies and you turned this singlehandly into a 5v4”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.

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.”
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.”
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”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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. ”
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.
”
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.”
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]
[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.”
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.”
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]”
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.”
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. ”
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.”
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.”
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.”
V1kt0r555 says “[Rune Keystone: Electrocute]

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.”
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. ”
V1kt0r555 says “[Rune Keystone: First Strike or Summon Aery]
[Summoner Spell: Teleport or Barrier or Exhaust]
[Starting Item: Doran's Ring or Corrupting Potion]
[Recommended Mythic Item: Everfrost]
[Punish him whenever he last hits]
[Place your Gravity Field when he jumps on you then back off, repeat]
[Build Banshee's Veil]”
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.”
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 ”
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.”
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.”
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. ”
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 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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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) ”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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 “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. ”
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. ”
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. ”
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.”
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. ”
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.”
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. Take comet TP.”
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. ”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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, go in, and you will be able to pickup a kill or force a summoner/back. Post 6, keep track of his little clone trailing behind him.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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)
”
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.
Recommended build: Immortal shieldbow”
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. ”
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. ”
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.”

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.”
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.”
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. ”
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.”
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. ”
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.”
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”
