Ekko vs Taliyah Counter Pick

124 games is a thin record, so the 58.1% credited to Ekko on patch 16.13.1 reads as a direction rather than a settled number. The stat comparison, at least, agrees with it.

• Fragility: Taliyah opens with 550 health and 18 armor, the lowest figures either side brings to level 1, plus 28 magic resist against 32.
• Speed: Ekko moves at 340 to her 330, and Z-Drive Resonance adds a burst of speed whenever the third hit lands on a champion.
• Dash punishment: Unraveled Earth explodes and stuns anyone who dashes through it, which turns Phase Dive into a commitment rather than a free approach.

Rock Surfing grants her move speed near walls and Weaver’s Wall carries her across the map, so a jungle skirmish she does not want is one she can frequently decline. Seismic Shove throws Ekko in a direction of her choosing, the cleanest way to break his three-hit rhythm. Against that he brings 655 health to 550 and a 125 attack range that forces him to close ground she is built to control. Chronobreak covers the mistake, rewinding him out of a Threaded Volley barrage after he has already committed. Threaded Volley leaves Worked Ground behind it, limiting where she can repeat the same poke, and her 2,318 health at level 18 stays under his 2,338. She is rated 5 for difficulty, he is rated 8.
