"So, with all this in mind, why play Ekko? This is an important thing to think about every game, even when you're not playing Ekko: why are you playing what you're playing? If the answer is "I just want to have fun" or "I just like this champ", that's fine, as long as you know the champion's strengths. Conveniently enough, this is a very easy question to answer on Ekko, since the best answer is just why not? Ekko is what's known as a flex pick, which means that he's a jack of all trades--he can do almost anything any other mid laner can do, all mashed together in one package. Burst? Check. CC? Check. Assassin-level mobility? Check. Waveclear? Check. However, because he's such a generalist, there's always another champion that could be better at whatever job you need to get done. AOE CC? Annie is way more reliable. Assassination? Zed is way safer and easier. Waveclear? Anivia eats super minions for breakfast. Burst? Syndra or Veigar can do it from range and without the possibility of missing. Ekko can fill a bunch of jobs, but he's not the best at any of them. Above all else, Ekko gives you options on how to play him" :)
