Learn how to Ekko counter with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Disengage after Ekko applies 2 passive stacks on you — his third hit will trigger a burst of damage (30-140 + 90% AP) and give him a speed boost to chase you down.
Basic Lane Phase Skirmish
Punish Ekko when he uses his Q for waveclear — this creates a 7-9 second window where he lacks his main damage and harass tool.
Basic Lane Phase
Be cautious when Ekko walks out of vision — he's likely setting up his W (stun field) that becomes visible to enemies only 2 seconds after casting.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Always track Ekko's afterimage (his ghost showing his position 4 seconds ago) — this is exactly where he'll teleport when using his ultimate and deal heavy AoE damage.
Team Fight Skirmish
Place control wards in common flank paths — Ekko excels at engaging from fog of war with his W stun, which can set up easy passive procs.
Team Fight
Always have someone match Ekko in sidelanes after he hits level 9 — his waveclear becomes strong enough to quickly take turrets if left alone.
Late Game
Apply hard CC on Ekko in teamfights — this prevents him from pressing R to escape and can turn his aggressive engages into free kills for your team.
Team Fight
After Ekko completes Protobelt and Lichbane, don't walk through unwarded areas — this is his biggest power spike where he can one-shot squishies from flanks.
Late Game
When Ekko reaches level 6, respect his all-in potential — he can now use R to escape after aggressive dives, making him much harder to punish.
