Imma be real though this guy kind of deserved a lot of the yelling. There were so many times he was given clear instruction over and over again and still the input was like 4-5 seconds late. Those seconds can mean the end of the game.

[@kthxbairofl]

@@silosolis6397 yeah totally agree, i was getting frustrated aswell 😂 i was like. Just press E ffs! 😅

[@butterflyfx57]

The playstyle is strong because you have constant map pressure. Whenever you're in fog the enemies must be afraid that you're coming for them, and they have to adapt accordingly.

[@zelliko]

The best part of the style is the constant pressure while the opponent is unable to roam.

[@beakidhero]

high tempo. placing pressure on the map of a potential roam whether he actually takes the roam or not. potential kills to assist other laners. taking control of the lane, keeping his laner in lane or making them choice missing the cs or follow.

[@Maxske]

You dont need Dmats on ekko if you skip currupting potion since you will always get 120 ap by lv7 to 1 tap wave. Also, if you want to do ekko combos, you have to be on instant cast or your animation cancels will be harder to do. Also general tip for ekko, just try your best to have as little deaths as possible, you need cs and xp to achieve the mid game power spike to carry games

[@MakZkovich]

what do you know about ekko noob?

[@willek1335]

14:00 That feeling when you ult someone without balls. It hurts to watch.

[@aphilic]

the playstyle is so strong because it allows you assert constant pressure in mid lane and also have free rotation to wherever you want to go be it objs or lanes. and its easy to execute….

[@lumathran]

I think this is the most influential video I've wathced. I've always seen him implement this style with multiple champions but somehow this is the first time it clicked.

[@silosolis6397]

This playstyle is strong because of the safety in ekko roams, his ulti, plus e, aswell as passive to gain more ground/movement speed/ champion pressure. The amount of zoning you can pull off with his whole moveset, allows you to roam so well.

[@Dmorgzzz]

This playstyle limits the enemy teams options while also giving your team more options (especially your jungler). The enemy mid will have to choose between farm or matching you. The enemy jungler will be forced to deviate from his pathing and gameplan also sacrificing farm, experience, and tempo. As a plat-diamond jungler when i have a mid that plays like this the game is so much easier and i have way more options. I don't have to worry about my mid getting solo killed, i can catch his waves and gain an xp and gold advantage over the enemy jungler, i can take an objective or counterjungle on the opposite side of the map while enemy jungler is forced to counter, or i can just help with the plays and never be at a numbers disadvantage.

[@TheMrAbsolute]

Constantly pushing an almost full wave into the enemy and rotating leaves the enemy mid with two bad choices: give the enemy team a +1 advantage in every fight or lose xp and fall behind like that.

[@erickgoncalves8151]

This is a nightmare for the enemy jungler... not only creating pressure in mid and fear on other lanes... If you can't manage to gank and get kills, the passe from Ekko can clear campaments in no time, including objectives without any response, most of the time. Played some of this, and besides the mana issue with spamming Q pretty often, everything else is really good

[@vortraz2054]

I like to call it "Spending" our Hp. Spend Hp to walk past trundle. Spend some Hp, we cant have our cake and eat it too, Its lose some Hp to trundle, or get cornered and guarantee that we die Put Ekko W, where ever you want to stand. Even if your not currently standing there, you cant, your not gonna, where do you WANT to stand? If you just randomly decided, lets take a fight. Put it THERE And to answer his question about R vs Stopwatch, well we just compare them and what they do. Whats the difference? The biggest difference is our ult gives us movement, damage, and healing. If your going to panic press one, probably your ult. It just DOES more to help us in a scary situation than watch. And then also, We cant go stopwatch and then ult out. Really. Stopwatch to be honest, is more of an offensive tool than people realize. Because when stopwatch ends, your probably either going to win that fight or die there. And yes your ult can be offensive too and its kind of better because it does damage, but the movement and the health you get back can be defensive. Stopwatch is less Flexible. So default to using ult I think, and only stopwatch when its calculated and you know WHY your pressing it. Thers gonna be exceptions such as, the position ult gives us is even worse, but thats going to come with experience, practice trial and error. I think press ult when your scared is a decent way to learn. As for stopwatch, Need cooldowns back? Press stopwatch. Dying, but we would rather ult offensively? press stopwatch. Its for when you can win a fight, and you just need to drag it out a few seconds. Maybe theres a play where you can press W and then instantly stopwatch? Maybe you come out of watch in time to proc W or something. Because we cant LEAVE our current position during stopwatch, I consider it mostly an offensive, hold on Il fight you in a sec, button. When you can win by stalling Our ult also LOSES its defensive potential, if we wait to use it. The shadow catches up to us and its now in an aggressive position. So if you took too much damage too fast and you want OUT of the fight, dont hold it. But I kinda think E in, Q, W+stopwatch, then pretend your scared and run away then ult back in. That combo sounds pretty fucking cracked if you can map that plan it out, plan fights out before you start it

[@thomasmcgraw8778]

If I had to guess what makes this strong I'd say map presence. His e is such a get out of jail free as well as a good travel tool. On top of that his wave clear is pretty damn good so he can just always be roaming or getting plates and have good farm all the while.

[@sourcecreator2222]

Well done neace, you have to be strong with some students so your directions break through the thick habits

[@killagunnerlol]

high tempo, high agency.... and the other lanes can get tilted when they get roamed on, and your lane gets tilted when roams work. :)

[@frazzlefresh]

In theory, constant wave clear, unlocks the ability to roam and apply map pressure (top/bot/objectives) and generally keeps the enemy lanes from wanting to extend and push into towers (fear of gank from mid/jung) Which in turn creates more prio across more lanes, coupled with your constant prio mid frees up objectives for you and your jungler.

[@arigathankyouyt]

Ekko's ability to easily clear waves and immediately roam, especially against immobile champs, makes pressuring other lanes a breeze for you and a nightmare to your enemies. On top of that, Ekko can snowball easily this way, leading to secure more objectives while having a massive resource lead against your lane opponent.

[@ghidraa9340]

I hit Rank 1 with Ekko in NA. I like reviewing videos because there's much to learn.

[@MixalisEam]

The reason why this play style is so strong is because by shoving you unlock the roam so you can affect other lanes and make your enemy decide whether they lose a wave or 2 by matching the roam (effectively losing xp and gold) or staying mid while you exert your pressure in other lanes.

[@gigos2]

I'm always jealous when I see someone having such a good team....

[@Ginnetix]

Put tons of pressure on the map forcing enemies to make more mistakes since they have to make more decisions.

[@jojojanaidio4390]

gotta embrace your champion playstyle, play balls to the walls like a psycopath. only way to get better. knowing champ limits also helps, which agian requires balls to walls, limit test mentality

[@rsmith8113]

I’m starting to realise this now(I became a dirty Yasuo main after opening the emote and Eternals and skins in a row😄) and I’ve got to the point after 15-20 games that I can win more than 60% of my games. I don’t have to look at my champ either it’s becoming natural now.

[@Leary93Gaming]

This Ekko playstyle is strong because it's Proactive rather than Reactive. You're never answering questions, you're always asking them. You push your wave, roam, push wave, roam, and never really need to make 5head decisions while you're doing that, and you're making your opponents make the mistakes you can capitalize on.

[@viperdragon35lol6]

I tried a similar playstyle last season going predator and rushing sorc boots...would shove and roam and with predator movement speed the roams are crazy they nerfed predator now tho

[@sillyme2598]

to the person getting coached, league is not a horror game so dont be scared all the time. its more of a chess or smth mentally challenging but chill game. the more u have fun thinking, the more you'll enjoy the game and climb

[@eduardoalonso692]

not if you are adc xd

[@CryptoClass]

This was frustrating to watch the amount of time W wasn’t used and E not being spammed on cd or immediately right after wave clears

[@CoDLover7771]

I'm digging pinning the correct answers. Very cool Neace & Team

[@kraya6740]

If this guy with this skill level is winning this game, i should definitely start playing ekko

[@evilerroryt8448]

The playstyle is strong because ekko as a champion has very strong wave clear with his Q. He's probably one of the best snowball champions to get fed cause of E and Q. Then ekko's passive + W is very strong in skirmishes outside of lane (Passive can either use it to kite aggressively or defensively ekko has a lot of flexibility In how he can play fights), W is great for gank set ups, zoning and quick in and out picks out of vision (E, Q, rocketbelt, auto).

[@justinsawrie1423]

The playstyle is good because every time you shove the wave in the enemy has two choices, let you roam or catch the wave. either way you open the map up by roaming. you are also playing a mental game with them, always second guessing where you are. I'm a thresh otp.. when the wave is pushing and my adc can safe farm theres no reason not to roam, especially on a champ like thresh your basically a secondary jg.

[@DeViceCrimsin_]

‘Utilize higher apm (with a purpose) while collecting the most amount of information possible’

[@invaderzimm1083]

I think its constant forward pressure that forces other players to do the "chores" or they gey pressured into defeat. Constant forward pressure forcing them to places you know and allowing you to move where they dont know?

[@177silas]

I like this playstyle. Last season I made with this strat easiest plat climb ever, with something disgusting like 70% wr, but with diana. "Borrowed" it from some korean chall, one trick diana, cant remember the name. Pretty good!

[@leontioscharalambous1511]

its rly strong bcs it has a lot of map pressure rly reliably,,bcs its hard to die if you play with ult properly

[@ZipCasey]

This playstyle is fully utilizing the Ekko kit as an assasin with fast wave clear. We play chill until we can clear waves, then become the menace with huge ult safety. Always be closing. Get as fed as possible. End the game.

[@resiluck]

This playstyle strong cause 1. You don't loose minions and help your teammate at the same time. 2. Ekko is a scaling champion and stupid as f broken after 3 items so getting kills always better. 3. You have insane mobility and fucking ULT out if anything goes wrong. And, ULT is stupidly less in cooldown. (Can use it as TP to get back in lane). 4. As a midlaner you are supposed to control the map and this playstyle allows that in as efficient way as possible.

[@PULAG]

Jokes aside, that gigantic single keyboard button would be a game changer as a foot pedal button, you'd beat Faker with that

[@refused-_-8491]

Perma map pressure makes it so strong ;)

[@MattMajcan]

minor gripe but i hate when neace doesnt explain things fully. At 19:56 we clearly establish that the student doesnt know what lich bane does. But neace just tells him to watch the CD, and then never actually explains what lich bane does. I think that would probably be a lot more beneificial to a student and help them actually remember.

[@PT84]

You see this game play pattern all the time in high silver and gold. Players are so scared to int or die they don't do anything at all for the entire game. Whats funny is in plat everyone thinks they are Faker and tries to outplay instead of taking fights slow.

[@steelyakabigtonkatfan9734]

U get xp and gold from waves on mid, no matter the matchup, if u play lets say yasuo u can get lissandra and have 0 kill pressure, so ekko playstyle is really consistent. U can have hardest matchup but it doesnt matter, u just one shot the wave and leave to kill his team. If u get to midgame with 2 items ur split push is nuts u shove them in, they HAVE to respond and then u kill their teammates again.

[@X33Ultras0und]

A lot of people in low elo aren't playing league of legends, but instead league of laning. They just sit in lane and hope their allies win their lane. Even if they have a good wave clear champion like Garen, they don't proxy, even if they're playing a champion that has good jungle camp clearing like Morgana, they don't even look for an invade on gromp or something when they see the enemy jungler at opposite side of the map.

[@fugzfugate131]

Yea i honestly dont get why the game is even fun for them. They don't ping/communicate. they dont try to have any agency. They only usually bitch that they lose cause team bad.

[@ridge_n]

He has a tendancy of holding E. He could've lost tower because he held E at 15:27. Got saved by jungler

[@CheetoLifts]

Constant map pressure

[@xyp1n]

This playstyle is Op because you constantly keep the enemy laner in need to get the farm otherwise they lose XP and gold and ekko in the meantime especially after 6 cant die on ganks and easily stack up dark seal without giving shutdowns

[@XIII-TheBlackCat]

I'm an Ekko main and I'm gonna hit diamond with no effort. All you need to do is hit the return Q and basic attack and you win.

[@umbras3628]

playstyle is so good because it puts pressure on all lanes making it so they cant push foward without risk of a gank from the mid laner

You basically make the game unfair by creating numbers advantages everywhere. The push binds the other midlaner (or he loses exp and gold to tower) and you can go influence other lanes.
