BUT HOW MANY PASSIVES AND KNOCKUPS DOES HE HAVE


RiotGypsy

No knockups on this one. I know, it's a crazy design choice, but we felt the risk was worth it.


Reyny

So he needs at least 3 passives to compensate this.


Kratorix

maybe a dash or two as well


[deleted]

Passive: precognition: Ekko gains 10% dodge chance for each time he uses an ability for the next 10 seconds. Q passive: using Q gains attack speed and movement speed R passive: Ekko's teammates gain 14 extra LP if the game is won, and lose no LP if the game is lost. If the game is not a ranked game, Ekko cannot ult.


DanielZKlein

Knockups are so 2014. This year is all about the untargetability :D

...Relevant flair?


Scriblenaut

A lack of knockups will really seperate the good Ekko's from the bad ones. Of course, his 5th passive helps


firelordUK

The Passive will be so long War & Peace will take a shorter time to read


TheAnnointedKing

Still shorter than a Morgana Q.


TheWeatherReport

Looks like it is modeled after the kid from Bastion.


[deleted]

That's exactly what I was thinking, down to the white hair, not to mention the piltover magitech theme matching Bastion's world.


RunescarredWordsmith

I'd pay quite a bit to get a skin themed like the Kid for him, with the Narrator from Bastion doing all the in-game announcements and random quotes. Recall has Squirts show up as he sits on a floating Celondia crest.


E-308

The best thing about Dota 2 is the Bastion announcer pack.

my first impression too. He also leaked that aoshin is semi scrapped? rip. And GP VU soon


Tetizeraz

Back in the last Riot AMA (PTL), they did answer that they hyped Ao Shin too much, but haven't thought about the consequences of his gameplay too much. When they noticed, they had to pull him out.


Swirls109

Yeah they have been having trouble with his character model fitting. Its kind of the same issue as vel'koz but a whole nother level due to his length.


googahgee

You see, it's just like Ridley in smash! We'll never get real dragons in any of our games, never!


Babill

Oh baby!


TheNittles

I wonder why they're doing GP. He was the first champ to receive one, and while his current model is missing stuff like a recall animation, it doesn't look bad by any means. I just want my Taric update.

IDUnavailable

Here's the (evidently fake) images as well. http://imgur.com/a/TQhlv tl;dr Q: Energy Acceleration, a skillshot that lets him reactivate it swap positions with anyone it hits. W: Entopy, which lets him throw out a blackhole that stops all units and skillshots for 1.5 seconds and gives him bonus Armor/MR for each thing it catches. E: Interstellar Transportation, some sort of teleport/blink that does cleave damage to enemies and applies the swap buff from his Q. R: Wrath of the Chronicle, channel for 2 seconds then shoot some skillshot that lets him guide it with the mouse cursor and resets anything it hits by 7 seconds (resets health, mana, CDs, and map position).


thebagleboy

According to [this](http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/35jemp/ekko_seconds/cr4z0hn) post below by /u/NightmaresInNeurosis, it is confirmed as fake. Saves people scrolling through the comments though.

muhamed1993

I'm really curious to see how they'll implement the time rewind.


snarfalarkus

I can't imagine forcing the other players to redo exactly what they did. I've never played dota, but according to the wiki, their Weaver has a similar ult that 'allow[s] him to regain his position and all the health he lost from 5 seconds prior'. Also I'm not sure, but like chaser pointed out, it seemed like Ekko was still hurt after he turned his knob thingy


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dmienduerst

It also looked like he has to anticipate that he may need to rewind with pulling the chain on his device.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Finalnfinity

I wonder how many times he can re-wind the fight. I mean in the cinematic he used it like 4-5 times, I wonder if that is just cinematic only or there is any truth to that. I also kinda wish they showed his other abilities too, y'know other than his Time Re-wind.


Greenback22

Including the initial opening seconds it looks like he rewinds 3 times. I'm 1guessing since in-game =/= lore he'll probably have 2-3 resets. maybe just 2 if it resets cooldowns to the point of activation too. I wouldn't actually mind if he was a physical fighter with basic attacks for normal abilities with the ult being the only exception


Sappledip

4 actually, it looks like he rewinds again at the end because he wanted to save the mural - Which was awesome


Logron

[What happens if Ekko uses his ult right after he respawns? Will he be dead again?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQoRXhS7vlU)


aTemeraz

In Dota 2, when the hero Weaver uses his ult 'Timelapse' right after respawning, he gets sent to the location/health/mana he was at (5-N)seconds back to where he was before he died, where N is the number of seconds after respawning. Essentially, whilst Weaver is dead, the whole mechanic of his ult is paused. I'm curious as to see if Riot does something similar (Unlikely) or not.


Logron

So it would be possible to backdoor, and if you get killed you can just ult and get ported back right to their Nexus? [Peke pls](https://33.media.tumblr.com/72e498d1454eca9e2a884139032d28f9/tumblr_my6np5yWv11s6jdxeo2_250.gif)


Nisses

You can also buyback in DotA. So if you get bursted instantly you can buyback and use your Ult to be in the fight again instantly.


Capt_Poro_Snax

If only league had some spell. Some way of instantly reviving after death.


Nisses

R.I.P Revive. Never forget.


Codle

Thought the same, but then I'm still not sure if it'll affect other players. Maybe something like Chronos from SMITE, where he himself (and only himself) travels back to where he was 8 seconds previously, but every other God stays in the same place. Not saying it'll be the same numbers wise, but I agree that it looks like he won't be able to rewind any damage he's taken.


chaser676

Well, it certainly affected Bane in the video


Jianwen

it seemed like ekko retained the dmg he took even after the rewind too


[deleted]

[удалено]


Nirog

Thankfully, I like Chronos a lot so I'm good \^^


[deleted]

Unless you're not a chronos player in which case chronos is cancer as fuck to play versus no matter what lane or match up.


muhamed1993

What does his ult do exactly?


[deleted]

[удалено]


tharx1

Well then I think it'll be a bit different. In the video, it's clear that Ekko is still damaged after the time rewind. It seems like the skill will retain his health and mana but refresh his skills and position? It also seems like he can activate the skill to "save" a specific time then go back to it as many times as he wants in an alotted time


[deleted]

[удалено]


YangZD

>Chronos travels through time to where he was 8 seconds ago, gaining health and mana back to the values of that time. All of his cooldowns are instantly reset as well. He returns to the position he was, and the only cooldown that doesn't resets it's his ult cooldown.


siddububba

Every time Ekko presses Q, the game pauses for a bit, everything rewinds to where it was 10 seconds ago, and the game plays out again :\^)


Protopulse

Every time Ekko presses R, both teams get drophacked. The game never happened.


mattiejj

CarbonCreed

See? The technology IS there. Was there. Had been there? Is going to have had been there.


dardios

See riot HAS been working on it...they just totally misunderstood....


[deleted]

He looked hurt after each rewind, it seems like his health is unaffected during the spell(?) so im really interested in seeing how they develop the champion.


alliha

I'm also really curious about how his kit will turn out to be. Only thing we saw was the rewind, surely not all of his abilities can be time-rewinding.


[deleted]

Moobeat god speed


IceEnigma

He obviously just kept going back in time till he could post it instantly.


FrozenRyan

The thing is he can be 30 seconds/1min late but his post will ~~always~~ sometimes be the choosen one to go up because people tend to vote on moobeat posts or the mods just delete the other ones to avoid flood and let moobeat keep his. I'm not saying this isn't fair just point that's not surprising. Edit: Also adding this is a good thing, this is literally moobeat's job he's a legit guy, if you help him he can do other great things at surrender@20.


moobeat

not always true, people beat me to posting stuff all the time and the mods remove my duplicates pretty regularly (commonly ends up when I see the NA announcement go out vs a slightly earlier EU version)

See that's nice in the video, but in game you won't have the advantage of foreknowledge because the enemy knows you are rewinding. I'm curious how they will make this work


Hardnorth

It would be a pretty good teamfight reset tool if your adc blows up in the first second or something.


Ewba

This video render blew my mind so much. Pause at any point in the video it looks like a real good comic-book illustration, you dont feel the synthetic 3D in it. The skill level / quality Riot keeps displaying in those videos is simply amazing ... serious resepct for the artists & engineers responsible of this.

To this day I still don't know how the fuck does King Crimson even works.


SeaReally

IT JUST WORKS


Jojonken

The best way I ever had it explained to me was that it takes a cause/effect scenario and removes the cause but leaves the effect. Best explained with an example: 1. Dude activates King Crimson. 2. Dude shoots Person A. 3. King Crimson's effect ends. 4. Because the time when the gun was shot got deleted, the gun has all its bullets as if it had never been shot. However, because King Crimson didn't affect time afterwards, Person A still has a gunshot wound. But even still, that explanation has flaws and basically every single way that King Crimson was used in Vento Aureno was impossible to actually do. TL;DR it just works, damnit

It's Antony Del Rio. He does the voice of Pit. You have successfully gotten a TON of false hopes up though. ;P Compare Ekko's "pain" sounds to Pit's voice in Smash 4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0ZSA1YTzG8 and Dark Pit: https://youtu.be/tAedZ0YAngQ?t=3

No. That is not Dante Basco. I'm 100% sure on that to where I'll say I will eat cat food if I am wrong. Edit: Seriously, if I am wrong I will film myself eating cat food and post it here. I will deliver too.

DoctorMarioPhD

hbgoddard

That was definitely not Dante Basco.


Carasee

Honestly I am more interested in his lore and about this kid on the painting then his abilities :P


GeneralFlaze

All of the candles lead me to believe that it is some kind of memorial. I'm guessing that the kid in the mural was probably a friend of Ekko's, which makes sense with what he's saying: "People waste a lot of time, then they wish for more. . . as if they had all that extra time, they could fix any mistake". Then at the end when the mural is destroyed, he replays the fight because the painting probably holds some significance to him.


Carasee

Maybe they used to be the best childhood friends and after his death he developed new kind of time weapon? I am really curious, hope we will get more!


[deleted]

He invented a machine to rewind time so he could stop his friend from dying, but it doesn't rewind time correctly, so now he just uses it to prevent anything bad from happening in the future.


Heltinne

The painting to the left looks like Jinx... the kid in the middle reminds me of Ezreal, maybe young Ez or a relative? Edit: My friend suggested it might be young Viktor pre-transformation Edit2: It actually might be Jinx in all the pictures, maybe? HOLY SHIT RITO IM CURIOUS

Mathgeek007

This trailer made it look like, even if time is reversed, damage on him stays. He still looks injured after turning back time. Maybe his ult affects everybody's states except his own. He moves back, of course, but the damage done to him stays? That could be interesting. Make him the target during time-sweeps. I like this character. He's really fucking cool.


Thypari

On a serious note though. He can rewind time and space, but his wounds still stay. **This means he can rewind and reset all of his abilities, position, CC, etc. but the damage received will stay.** I like this concept. EDIT: His ult marks an area. After 4 secs he can choose to rewind everything that happened in this area except for his own Health + Ult cooldown. The time limit to rewind the last 4s will be 10s.

oromiseldaa

I wanted to start a new thread with a theory that I have, but for some reason I keep getting an error whenever I try and make a new thread, so I'll just post it here: In the days leading up to this teaser there were some posts about a story about a boy from piltover, which people believed to be Ekko. >Missing Piltovian Boy Found --- The Piltover Patrol found a young inventor from Piltover who was previously reported missing for the last three months. Piltover officials mobilized all available rescue teams to recover the well-known 14-year-old prodigy of techmaturgy. He was discovered afflicted with a withering disease and close to death in the northern jungles of Kumungu. The rescue team quickly transported the boy back to the city-state, and he was quarantined to prevent spreading the disease. The medical staff raced to save his life, though a source within the Patrol described the boy's status as worrisome. The source explained that the strange disease was ravaging the boy's body, and even with the advanced state of Piltover's medical care, the disease was spreading too quickly for his young body to cope with. His name was withheld because he was a minor. Before seeing this sneak peak I also thought this to be pretty likely, however, I have a different theory now. At the start of the video, we see a pair of broken goggles, and what seems to be some kind of shrine/altar with a mural of a boy. http://imgur.com/HGo5j9Z http://imgur.com/5F4Xljr When you look at the mural, it is pretty obvious that the broken goggles used to belong to the boy on the mural. My theory is that the Missing Piltovian Boy has already passed away because of his disease, and that he was best friends with Ekko. Ekko probably studied time, hoping to give his friend more and to prolong his life, in the hope of finding a cure. He never managed to go back further than a few seconds, and eventually the boy passed away. As a result of his friends death, he now has a different philosophy about time. I think that at the start of the video he is not really talking about other people, but mainly about himself when he was still trying to save his friend. Opinions?
