With both sitting in melee range (125 against 125), neither side gets a free poke pattern.
Ekko is the more demanding of the two to pilot (8/10 versus 4/10), which quietly shapes the win rate. A 486-game window is wide enough to trust the direction, narrow enough to shift. Everything comes from Emerald+ solo queue and refreshes without manual input.
