Scuttle Contest
- You lose early scuttle fights due to Ekko's Q slow, W stun potential, and superior burst damage at level 3.
- From level 6, you can win 1v1s if you dodge his W stun with your Q timing and have full health - his R reset makes extended fights heavily favor him.
Predicted Jungle Path
- Ekko typically starts bot side for leash, does full clear to top scuttle, then looks for ganks or invades your jungle around 3:30-4:00.
- He may path directly to your opposite side jungle after his first clear since he outduels you early.
Invade or Not
- Avoid invading Ekko early game as he wins most 1v1 encounters and has better escape tools with E dash and R.
- Your best invasion window is post-6 when he's low from ganking, specifically targeting his krugs or gromp when you know his abilities are on cooldown.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't greed for extended trades or chase him into unwarded areas where he can land W stun setups.
- Avoid fighting him when he has his passive stacks ready, as the movement speed and damage proc combined with his burst can kill you before your Q resets become meaningful.
