Annie vs Ekko Counter Pick
Matchup Summary
What the Data Means
Annie is a mage/support hybrid, Ekko a assassin/mage hybrid, and they meet in the Mid lane. The sample behind this page is 365 games from patch 16.13.1, and Annie wins 46.6% of them. Sitting 3.4 points below the 50% line marks Ekko as a genuine problem pick for Annie.
magic damage sits on both sides of this lane, which simplifies what Annie and Ekko build against each other. Level-one bases: Annie 560 HP / 23 armour / 30 MR, Ekko 655 / 32 / 32. 9 armour of separation tilts level-one trades toward Ekko. Late-game bases read 2192 health / 91 armour for Annie and 2338 / 103 for Ekko. On autos alone the numbers read 50 AD for Annie and 58 for Ekko. That 335-versus-340 difference matters most when either leaves the lane.
Annie holds a 500-unit range advantage (625 to 125), and that shapes how the lane is traded out. Until Ekko closes that 125-to-625 gap, Annie dictates the pace.
The exchange usually opens with Molten Shield (E) or Timewinder (Q). Ultimates decide the rest — Summon: Tibbers versus Chronobreak.
