I hate Riot for making Ekko's skills so stupid. His shield and stun are too strong for an assassin and his ult damage is so high it can kill squishies below 60% of their health. However, the delay of his W is freakin' long that it is nearly impossible to land it on normal circumstances and his ult has the 4 second rule and can also put him in the middle of the enemy team and in a risky spot if he wants it to do damage. Those two things sort of make his kit balance.

However, these kinds of skills irritate me because Riot is stretching the limits by making his skills very unreliable, but extremely rewarding when pulled off correctly. It's like making a very thin, short range and slow skillshot ability with a 5 second delay that instantly explodes and kill all enemies in an area if they "magically" get hit by that kind of skillshot. I mean, I know that skills are supposed to be rewarding if they are unreliable, but making skills SUPER rewarding for being SUPER unreliable is really stretching the boundaries of this game. Not saying he is OP or weak though.
