Guys, I know that some of you might disagree, but I strongly think Ekko doesn't need any nerfs. Why? Hear me out.

Ekko has 580 health at lvl 1 and 1980 health at lvl 18. That's almost the same as Tristana. It's less than almost any other melee champion, besides the ones who get health from their abilities, like Cho'gath or Singed.

That's a pretty big deal, because all of his damage except for his Q is dealt in melee range, so nerfing Ekko is pretty dangerous. Any heavier nerf can immediately put him in trash can tier, because apart from being squishy he's also really telegraphed. You can see where he'll ult at all times. You can see the big wide slowing circle and move out of it so he doesn't get a shield/stun. If he hits a Q you know he'll probably follow up on it to trigger his passive etc.

He's similar to Zed yet he's the exact opposite. He's goddamn predictable and I think that's really cool. Fits with his thematic of wanting to change time, yet always ending up with a similar result.
