Ekko Midlane Counter Picks & Tips
Laning Against Ekko
Counter Ekko's passive by preventing him from landing his full combo. Stay out of E range and dodge his Q to deny passive stacks. Watch for W stuns when Ekko leaves vision - wait a few seconds after he reappears before engaging. Punish his waveclear attempts when he uses Q on minions.

Strategy Against Ekko
Use crowd control to prevent Ekko from escaping with his ultimate (R). Track his ultimate cooldown and position to counter both escape and engage attempts. Maintain vision in flank positions to spot his W setups. When he runs toward you, back off briefly to avoid potential W stuns.
Never leave Ekko alone in side lanes - he excels at split pushing. Always assign someone to match his push and prevent free farm and tower damage.
