Laning Against Ekko

Ekko's damage primarily comes from his Passive. Counter this by:

  • Dodging his Q skillshot

  • Preventing him from stacking his Passive

When facing Ekko, be aware that:

  • He sets up W stuns from fog of war
  • Wait a few seconds after he reappears before engaging
  • Punish his waveclear Q usage with trades
