Ekko Counter Guide - Jungle

Ekko is most vulnerable to strong early-game duelists and champions who can disrupt his combo execution. Here are the most effective strategies to counter him:

Best Counters:

• Rek'Sai
• Talon
• Kindred
• Hecarim
• Jarvan IV

Early Game Strategy:

• Invade when his W (Parallel Convergence) is on cooldown
• Contest his weak early clear
• Place deep wards in his jungle entrances and river
• Track his pathing to prevent successful ganks

Mid-Game Tactics:

• Keep vision in common flanking spots
• Watch for his W setups from fog of war
• Match his split pushing attempts
• Save CC for when he engages

Power Spike Awareness:

• Level 3: First ganking potential with full ability rotation
• Level 6: Enhanced gank threat with Ultimate
• Jungle item completion: Significant 1v1 potential

Team Fight Tips:

• Lock him down with CC to prevent Ultimate escape
• Track his Ultimate ghost to predict repositioning
• Coordinate with team to burst him before he can activate Ultimate
• Don't chase him alone when his Ultimate is available

Vision Control:

• Ward side lane bushes
• Maintain river vision
• Place deep wards at jungle entrances
• Keep vision on common flanking routes

Remember that Ekko becomes significantly weaker when his abilities are on cooldown, especially his W shield and Ultimate. Capitalize on these windows of opportunity to shut him down early and prevent his scaling into late game.
