The Secrets of Xiao Lao Ban, World’s Best Ekko 

Happy new year!

Xiaolaoban, thank you for everything! You are many of us Ekko players inspiration! You are the goat! 新年快乐！

i know you probably would rather not say, but how do you beat ekko? i struggle so much against him...

I can't believe it. The legend has appeared ! Please continue playing on the Korean server. It's enjoyable to watch your gameplay. Thank you too :)

crossover of the century my two goats 🔥

While playing ekko jg, i always prefer kills

@@giatungau4426I always focus on grubs and drake. emerald junglers are morons so 9 out of 10 times they dont even show up at spawn

Can you check my smolder I'm doing my best to be the best smolder 😉👍

​@@baal8938always is probably not the best, early dragons and grubs can waste a lot of valuable time

@@viktorgombos4975 heavily depends on champ though

yes he does, he is doing QW animation cancel

@@StoneDeceiverHe does partially cancel the animation but he still has a few frames of the W animation. You can cast W while being in the E rolling animation which is a full animation cancel (if memory serves right) but even this would have little impact on him actually getting the stun here. If you are in vision your “shadow’s” windup animation is visible anyway which usually matters more than animation cancelling. You can see that when it lands both ivern and tristana are not in the W but walks back in when the animation seems finished. So XLB’s superior knowledge of his W is what actually gets him the stun here; Not his partial animation cancel

@@alien3355 this is true, and mainly with true damage ekko as well. other skins have different timings, but true damage is the most egregious when it comes to the animation ending faster than the actual ability.

@@chocolatemilkliker haha i was suspecting it to mostly be with true damage skin but i didn't play with any other skin back when i mained him so i couldn't remember

i mean chall mindset and reflect

I am convinced no one actually knows what irony is.

@@MinisculeBug what are you blabbering about bozo

@@ez8828 can't you read?

Bro’s coming for the toughest region, NA, next

>Having a 11 winning streak in Korean GM elo >refused to elaborate futher >left

He left because of lich bane nerfs, XLB only appears when ekko is extremely strong, then after the nerfs he disappears. He's been doing the same since the last two seasons. He appears for the preseason (times when ekko is in general OP) and then after the preseason balance he vanishes

:(

@@quynguyenkhanh5983 Man's gone for new year. Look down the comments

That build is cracked on galio , once you get lich bane + sorc shoes , you just roam around the map oneshoting people and winning your team the game

Oh Thank you for suggestion ! I'll spectate him

I saw it by chance ! Nice :)

😂😂😂

If you arent against a mage i suppose

@@fusionxtras That's right. Thank you !

With Mage , use hail of blades . With ranged like tris luci quinn and melee , use electrocute

Galio is ekko's counter because ekko can't kill him and Galio can massively push lane and then roaming to 2 sides , ekko if cannot get kills , he so useless

mage: hob. Not a mage: electrocute

he doesnt lvl his ult so it doesnt show and it suprise the enemy

@@locroyal4400 Oh I thought it's bugged since his R spell was highlighted in 4:28 and the trail isn't appearing

⁠@@rempaciousYh it does that a lot

??

@@Shizuka136 exactly

Buff smolder ?! You are on crack brother, the champion is insanely strong, if you find him weak, you need to train him more and better.

@@Masterpouya I'm getting better and better but I still think traditional adc's late game deal waaaay! more and consistent damage than this champion

@@Smolder1 Your damage are directly linked to your stacking. If you don’t stack efficiently in lane by poking other champions in lane (W can be proc on supp+adc −> +2 stacks) your champion will feel weak. If you do poke efficiently (every single of your spells stacks like a veigar), at 225 stacks you are WAY WAY WAY more powerful than any other adc in the game. You basically have a mini-elder drake buff on all of your kit (the burn, the execute and everything). So no, smalder is just good in good hands and bad in bad hands. Learn from the best players, improve and become number one if that’s your goal. But he is anything but weak at the moment. Oh and in lane, start W, max Q and use W early to push the wave, poke your opponent and stack ALL at the same time. For the runes, play the comet setup, it’s way stronger (even if you go AD) than the PTA one. Peace.

Hello !

200$ mythic skin breakout true damage ekko

Fizz but require some brains

You don't get to oneshotq at level 7 with dring darkseal 2 amp tomes without it, that's the whole point of going it

@@MakZkovich still i just dislike it as an a Perfectionist rune

@@purpletheoriesone4013 wtf are you even talking about "perfectionist rune"

@@MakZkovich u see the stats are lowered the less hp u have and the people who taking this rune on someone like Vel Koz Akshan etc are usualy the people who know they wont make bad trades at any point of the game and it`s kinda pointless cause Transcendence for example scales better and has more uses outside of trading

ekko ult heals you and then deals damage. Absolute focus always boost ult damage

Curious how. She got outplayed, she has no E left, can't walk fast enough to her dagger and has no flash left. The difference between this challenger korean katarina and you, is that she knows all that and take the death, where you would have run trying, but died without any other difference. They truely know their champion limit while you *think* you know them. you are the kind of guy who spam ping others for impossible moves, I see it in your eyes.

aha sure he couldnt pick dagger up to reset E, yeye@@Masterpouya

theres a big difference between (she cant walk fast enough and your low reaction time) Mr.Wannabe Chall@@Masterpouya

@@wiljagerhardt1219 Well let’s get into the details as you insist without any arguments, let me give you some to prove my point. (These players are way better than us, they are on the best server of the world and challenger there + mostly OTP they know each others champions perfectly). - Katarina base MS is 335, Ekko base MS is 340 ; Δ = 5 Move Speed. - Both have the same MS runes (+5MS with relentless hunter) - Both have same T1 shoes (+20MS) - Ekko has Lich bane −> +8%MS Total : (base + runes + items including boots) Ekko MS = 395 MS ; Kata MS = 360 MS. Δ=35 MS (huge). It’s more than T1 vs T2 boots diff (25). They are lvl 7 so katarina W that gives her MS is only rank 1 (she skills the 2nd point on it lvl 14) and is currently on CD (15s CD at rank 1, she uses it at 8:22 so she don’t have it at 8:32 when she would need it). Her E is on cooldown as she just used it on Ekko and is rank 2 [12.5s CD]. Catching a dagger lvl 7 gives 84% CD reduction on the remaining time (not 100%). Which means even if the dagger would have felt ON HER, she needs around 1.5 to 2s to be able to use E again. But the dagger isn’t even on her, she needs to walk 120-130 units of terrain (so at least 0.4s assuming her current move speed and assuming 0 reaction time to the flash) to catch it. Meanwhile Ekko is barely at the right distance to shumpo (I’m unsure at 8:31 but at 8:32 he clearly is too far for a shumpo). So that’s 3 explicit reasons why there is absolutely no hope for kata to kill that Ekko at that moment and she knows it. So she accept the fact she got outplayed and dies here pressing S as respect. Respectfully. PS : Edit −> timers.

i just answered back because you said "she couldnt run to the dagger fast enough" because he had time, the only thing that could still make my point wrong is that he still wouldve have cd on E after picking up the dagger. And finally u wrote ''better than US''. I wont go into calculating if he had E or not, but for me it seems like after 0:3 he just gave up.@@Masterpouya

it's legit top 5 best skins in the game wdym

@@ahnadiri not for me. Hate the way he moves and walks. Hate the voicelines and the look. "YO GET OFF MY STAGE" so annoying
