Hello Summoners! Welcome to the Faker episode of God of Ip LoL!

What? Faker? This is the Ekko episode! Ekko!

NGNGNG

Get a Hold of Yourself!

Wait! Chronobreak!!!

Woah~~~

Hello Summoners! Welcome to the Ekko episode of God of Ip LoL!

(Cheer)

Ah, it’s great to be here, it’s been a while

Deja vu anybody?

Oh, it’s nothing, I’m sure.

It’s so nice for all of us to be back again with another awesome champion after our Bard episode.

Coach Kim, tell us how people reacted after your first episode.

Yes, the reaction was pretty hot

How hot was it? I’m dying to know

Well… I just heard how much more entertaining I was compared to the previous hosts

What, Really?

Who exactly was this everyone?

Wow you’re not really making any friends are you?

Well, my parents…

Yes of course, the parents also watch our show

How about you, Coach Son?

Yea. The reaction was out the roof.

Yes. Me too, the response was pretty overwhelming, mostly about how fat I looked

(From the side) Yeap, I second that~ lol

Sounds like everyone’s in agreement with that

Yeah, you definitely got chubbier. What have you been feeding yourself?

Oh yeah, everyone kept asking me who ‘the quiet one’ was, I told them that was Min.

Oh, your parents asked you?

Yes, yes for reals.

Hee hee, the silent one

What do you think about that, Caster Min? Aren’t you supposed to be the main headliner of Ip LoL?

Whenever a new champ comes out, things get pretty intense, like with Bard, and this head gear, pretty intense

How about you Cloudtemplar? What are your thoughts?

Yes, well… as the original member of God of Ip LoL...

Ugh… so tired of hearing that

Yes, it’s great, it’s continuously improving in every way,

the quality of the show is always going up and I’m pretty happy about that.

Yeah, I mean when else would we ever get to wear something like this?

I don’t think I’d ever have the chance otherwise

I think the concept was, Ekko: the time runner

something punky, something wild

Yeah… I’m not sure if we’re really pulling that off…

Coach Kim is

Yes I think the only guy pulling off the punk here is Coach Kim

I really want everyone to know that this really hurts my hands whenever I clap

Yeah, go easy with the clapping.

We’re here today to introduce Ekko, our new champion.

He’s already aroused a lot of speculation,

and we’d like to start off with an intro to what kind of champion he is.

People waste a lot of time

Then, they wish for more

They want more hours in their days

More days in their years.

More years in their lives.

I don`t need hours, or days, or years...

I only need seconds!

All time in the rift now belongs to Ekko

All of your skills have already been seen before

One small mistake? I can always try again!

It’s gonna take a lot to catch me!

Ekko the Boy Who Shattered Time

Ekko's basic attack and skills stack up

Every third attack on the same target deals bonus damage and slowdown effect

Third hits against champions triggers Ekko’s passive movement speed buff.

Ekko’s weapon can be thrown in a straight line and damages all enemies along its path

On its way back, his weapon deals extra damage and slows down all enemies in its path.

Ekko has an area effect skill that creates a wide slowdown zone

When Ekko enters this zone, he gains a shield and stuns all enemies within the area.

Ekko dashes to the selected location, and his next basic attack becomes stronger

And blinks from a long distance to hit his target.

Ekko returns to a previous location, and briefly turns invulnerable.

He partially recovers health and deals massive damage.

Before we get started, I want to present everyone with a special new chance.

I’ve brought with me Ekko’s lightsaber

Whenever the show starts going nowhere, and you’re not feeling it,

you can use this blade to cast Chronobreak!

Wow~ how does it work?

Didn’t you see it earlier?

So here we are, we’ve all traveled back in time like Ekko and returned to when we were younger,

did you know that Coach Kim’s actual nickname when he was little was The Kid?

No idea why, but why don’t we start with him, what’s your take on Ekko?

Cause Ekko’s also a Kid? hahaha

Yeah, we need to start somewhere.

Yes, I really feel that Ekko was a champion made for me.

Why, Why??

I tend to keep grudges for a long time

Yes, you definitely do.

With Ekko, once I set my sights on someone, I can totally chase them down

Chase down anyone you set your sights on?

I totally agree with that. This guy still talks about his ex-girlfriend from ages ago, all the time.

Say you really want to catch someone nearby. Go home,

get homeguard, ult back

Now you can rush your target, third hit then instakill!

You can’t get a kill with homeguard,

but this build would definitely help eliminate that one single target.

First, you’ll need Ionian Boots for the CDR.

Yes, CD reduction, and then Lich Bane for the synergy with your basic attack

you’ll be dealing tons of damage.

By triggering the Lich Bane passive

Yes, Lich Bane even adds movement speed. If that doesn’t work,

then what’s that item with the MR and slowdown…?

Twin Shadows

Yes, if you get that item as well, you will take down at least one champion anytime

Seriously? Twin Shadow?

Yes Twin Shadows! Slowdown effect AND even finds the target for you.

That’s true, true that

If you really start chasing down one target,

wouldn’t they just stay low near their tower?

Just get in there, you can die together or go in with W and then ult your way out.

Ah, so not the ult homeguard but dive in, then get out with your ult.

Yeap, this is what Coach Kim is all about, he gets excited and starts talking down on people.

Ah, no no that’s not true! Should I chrono?

Well anyway,, so the chase….

Can you stop that, just stop moving your left hand!

I think I abused this move too much.

Repeated Chronobreak due to Coach Kim may be hazardous for stageprop

So, Ekko the pursuer. How should you use his skills to chase someone down?

So you got the Homeguards.

And the enemy will be running away

Then you cast W where they’re about to run

They can’t run that way no more.

So you make them swerve

Then Q

You can pretty much get them with anything now.

Oh that just looks so sad

Do we use chronobreak again? What do we do?

So, Ekko basically is the perfect champ for chasedown..?

Wow, you know how in the intro, Ekko just keeps turning back time over and over again,

that’s exactly what I’m seeing here. You are exactly like Ekko!

The Chasing Kid, Ggo-ma Choo-gyuk-ja, wait a minute… Ggo Choo? (Korean word for willy)

LMAO

No, What…? No..

So, Ggo Choo, what’s on your mind?

Coach Son looks particularly confident today. I think he’s got something big up his sleeve.

Yes, I was a little frustrated by all that, I think of Ekko as the perfect top lane AP tanker.

Top lane? AP dealer/tanker?

Yes, if you go Trinity Force with Ekko, you get bonus damage with Sheen

Also, it gives you extra MS for chasing.

Not really, Hecarim’s advantage is also mobility

Ekko can get double the farming action,

return to your lane with your ultimate, then again with your teleport.

Like top lane Rek’sai with teleport?

Yes. I never thought Rek’sai was an effective tanker in the top lane

Ekko could do much better…

Doesn’t Team CJ use Rek’sai?

CJ lost after they got stomped on by Rek’sai three times

Ah, CJ didn’t make it to MSI because of Rek’sai.

Bengi. The J.U.N.G.L.E

So how do you see Ekko?

In one word. Super bullet-proof initiator

You know how leaders scream “follow me!” and rush out into battle

Lulu, Zilean, Sivir, and Kayle can all cast their speed buffs onto Ekko and he could just shoot out.

Yes, it’s like he immediately becomes some super stallion. He can cast W and rush in with E

I can take all the damage because I’m a tanker. Then my teammates can start pounding away.

If I think I’m gonna die, I can just ult my way out, but you know what?

I’m not going to die because I have Kayle, and Zilean AND Lulu at my back!

The skill synergy is pretty hardwired in there.

Cast W, then Zilean can use his Q on you as you rush in,

and then Zilean can WQ to stun everything around you.

On top of that, Ekko’s W triggers another stun

So Coach Son pointed out that Ekko could be a hugely effective top lane dealer/tanker

by utilizing his unique characteristics.

Now, onto Min Kang, our LoL Ggo Choo punchline creator,

what’s your take on this new champ?

First thing, do you remember how in his intro reel whenever he got beat up then turned back time then got beat again

he kept making that sound “Ekko, Ekko.”? You guys heard that right??

What?

Really?

Yeah, whenever he got hit. Here, hit me. You used to box right?

Hit him harder harder. HARDER!

Yeah yeah, hit him really hard.

Where?? Where??

Solar plexus!

No, please... go easy

Ikk, Ekk!

Wait wait, Ek! He goes Ekko Ekko

Yes..

Doesn’t he?

Yes, he does.

What do you mean Ekko Ekko..?

Look where this conversation went, fix this.

Give me a moment.

Need this?

Umm, Wait. No, no, no... OK~ chronobreak~~!!!

EKKO!

Ah, Wait

You can do it. You can do it

Is it still on cooldown

So… the Riot Champion Developer…

Here we go again...

For real, he created this champ after getting the idea from Korean traditional martial art of Taekkyun

You can definitely tell by the sound he makes.

Ikk! Ekk!

Take Jax’s E. Scary right? Say he’s coming at you with that,

you can dodge with E, like Ikk, then go in with Ekk!

AHH!! EKKO!

Go in like this, then throw the Morgana Q

Demo

Now, if Oriana uses her ult, here use her ult

Wait, wait

Why?

So how old are you exactly?

So you’re saying you can dodge non-target and limited range skills then hit them with E?

Yes. With this guy, you can also perfectly counter ganks

So, say you’re getting boxed in,

all you need to do is hit W on you and the champ chasing you.

Then jump to the ganker using E then get back to your tower, or even E to a minion.

If that doesn’t work, then you still have your ult to get you out.

Now, let’s look at a straight-up head to head situation

You know how Q has more damage on its way back, but it doesn’t hit sometimes?

You could just flash forward to change the trajectory

make sure you last hit the enemy champ for that kill.

I think that’s very clear.

Sounds a little strange, but Ikko and Ekko, if you can keep that in mind it can help you master this champion

Yes, that’s how you have fun with this champ, Ikko! Ekko!
