Talk:Ekko/@comment-25894521-20150514134616

Ekko seems rather balanced to me. He does do more then average damage. But the thing that makes him balanced in my eyes is the fact that he melee. If you play him mid you will get zoned and over powered by the tradional meta mages of this time ex: Leblanc, ahri, annie. Annie would be a speical nightmare for ekko like she is for every mid laner regardless of a blink or not.

Top lane is safer for ekko but the same thing applies. Rengar, Malphite poke, Nasus, Riven maybe. Is skillset is perfect for ganks, and teamfights but in lane I feel like it would be rather difficult. The W is very dodgeable and pre 6 once you engage with E good luck getting out. You could engage with E+Q and have a prepared W to return to safety but the mana cost for that at the start of the game is going to be through the roof until you get some items.

Ekko jungle is very possible due to his fairly decent clear times if you start w. Ganking a over extended lane would be perfect for ekko. Walk into the lane and prepare your w to close off a walk path if they flash E after them and if you mess up and are about to die rewind time.

If ekko was ranged I would consider him to be a little overpowered.
