I'm not even sure this champion is outright overpowered but he's designed in a way where he's impossible to play poorly and the burden to counterplay him is way way higher than the burden to play him properly. Difficulty 8 my ass. How many Ekkos have you seen go negative, ever? I've only see it happen once out of the 50 or so times I've seen him so far and that was because it was someone playing him jungle who probably had no idea how to play jungle characters in general (was underleveled all game and I think he got executed once)

Hell my friend bought him drunk off his gourd and still managed to go like 10/8/16 with him.

That being said the reason I'm not sure he's overpowered is because he often fails to carry games despite going like 12/1/4. That might just be the mindset of Ekko players trying to conserve their life undermining some of his strength though.

Meanwhile you have a LCS commentator who is like "well building Ekko tank makes sense because he has a lot of ulility." Am I the only one who sees the problem with this? Isn't the whole idea of being an assassin type character that you sacrifice some utility or tankiness to kill things quickly? This guy "has a lot of utility" and is extremely hard to kill with the absurd healing on his ult so what's he sacrificing exactly?
