well, usually champions are either really op, or really weak on release. In case of an assassin, like Ekko is, it's mostly 50% banrate upwards. Riot is notorious for giving assassins more damage than they need on release, which is why I predict him to be over the top in terms of snowballing and damage which ultimately will result in bans (happened with rengar, with Yasuo, and with Kha'Zix)
