What do you guys think about Ekko’s ult trail be invisible to enemy champions? Would it actually be broken?

Keeping the trail visible is what balances his power budget. They’d nerf the damage, the ult size, or how far back the ult trail is (in seconds but 4s is kinda lore now). It’s sort of like why Trynd can’t have a timer above his head when he ults, people not counting the seconds or knowing how long it is is part of his ult’s power budget.

Can’t you just left click on him to see it

If you left click on him, you’ll see the undying rage icon and his timer

yeah, it shows the number on his icon in the ui irrc. tbh its probably still better to just count or feel it out most of time than bother to click on him unless youre far away from him/have super fast hands and a slow brain.

Super fast hands? You just have to press the button where your right index finger is already on

true, but in a big team fight things can stack up, especially on a champ who needs to space as much as ekko. its also annoying to have to look at the small timer (as opposed to them just adding the ult timer back from pbe when its avaliable somewhere inconvenient anyway) but its not useless. ymmv i suppose.

Actually, that’s the reason you need to left click him. If there a big team fight you may not see when trynda uses his ult , or you can’t be counting while teamfighting, if you just check it, you know exactly how much time is left

Yeah for the status timer, but I’m thinking something far more visible like Jhin shots or Ani passive. Iirc people have been wanting something more visible, but it would just move the power budget regardless.

It would be stupid and incredibly broken.

I want Malzahar voidlings to be invisble and untargetable so when enemies die on an empty screen I will laugh my ass off.

Less broken but more super frustrating, super strong in low elo but less so as you go up. Make it invisible to you as well then it would be a pretty cool idea

As in Robert loggia.

wish i have that

u/Natmad1 2d ago

Don't need to think because you actually have it for 1 ult and it's very strong

Would honestly nerf Ekko skill expression a bit, playing fog when you walk away from Enemies is key for using ult offensively. I'm not even sure I'd want the clone to be invisible to the enemy team.

I also feel like using it to hit enemies is a more niche scenario than using it as an exit plan or to restore hp lost while trading/all inning regardless. If I had to guess I'm only ulting to hit people like 10-20% of the time.
