Scuttle Contest

  • You lose early scuttle fights due to Ekko's superior mobility and burst damage with Q-E combo.
  • From level 6, you can only guarantee wins if you land R into full combo when Ekko's R is on cooldown or he's below 60% health.

Predicted Jungle Path

  • Ekko will likely start bot side for a healthy clear with Q, then path toward top side scuttle around 3:15.
  • He may look for early ganks on overextended lanes before his first back around 4-5 minutes.

Invade or Not

  • Avoid invading Ekko early as his mobility and damage output make 1v1s unfavorable until you have R.
  • Your best opportunity is counter-invading when you see him ganking the opposite side of the map around level 6+.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste R trying to engage on healthy Ekko without follow-up damage, as he'll simply R away and you'll be left vulnerable.
  • Avoid fighting in jungle corridors where his Q can hit you twice easily through the narrow paths.
