I feel like Test of Faith is kind of the lovely part of Illaoi's kit and it needs some work to make it more usable. Right now it creates a target dummy that basically baits your entire team into getting engaged on instead of being an actual threat to the enemy team. The debuff is annoying because it lasts much longer than it needs to but it doesn't actually give Illaoi any benefit for lasting that long. Cut the debuff duration significantly and make it more powerful up front and she'd probably be in a pretty good spot. Also I feel like you shouldn't be able to creep block it because literally every other ghost tentacle can go through minions just fine, and landing it right now is too hard for the benefit it gives.

Also I've heard that the target dummy gets doubled resistances which is why it's literally impossible to kill it if you accidentally pull a tank's soul. That thing should be pretty easy to kill regardless of who you pull, and right now if you didn't get a carry you might as well just ignore it. That's kinda bad.

Giving her a stun really isn't necessary, cleaning up her E and making it feel good would be fine.

If her E only stopped at the first champion hit instead of being creep blocked, it would go a long way to making her viable, even if the ghost is largely a bait for your team.

Her E is the only thing that wakes the tentacles up into being halfway worth all the gold they are donating to the other guy.

Aurelion sol is... interesting. Seems pretty bad though.

Good luck ever picking him in draft. If a zed or diana ever looks at you they will kill you every single time. You're less capable of handling it then even velkoz.

I'm learning Ekko rn, trying to figure out a good tank build.

My first thoughts were Hybrid Pen marks, CDR and magic defense seals, armor glyphs and move-speed or hp quints; get an early Iceborn Gauntlet and Spirit Visage, then Warmogs and Hextech Gunblade. Runic Echoes in the jungle, maybe Abyssal Scepter because I'm Bronze 3 and no one ever builds mr I swear to god.

Please tear my build to shreds before toplane quinn does it for me

He doesn't do enough physical damage that hybrid is better than mpen. Use AP quints to clear faster (and give a better shield). You don't need MR glyphs as a jungler.

Don't build Spirit Visage, Warmogs, or Gunblade (seriously wtf gunblade as a "tank build").

Abyssal Scepter is good, I don't know what relevance you being in bronze has to it being a good item. It reduces their MR by 20, and everyone has more than 20 MR.

Interesting, why GA? My thoughts on the gunblade were more damage and survivability - I already want Visage for Chronobreak heal, and spellvamp / lifesteal would just make him that much more diehard.

Oh, and probably going 12/0/18 with Grasp of the Undying and "mo slow mo damage" for similar reasons.

Please note: I'm bad though I am trying to git gud. Not playing Ekko ranked until I git gud.

Actually if they're in Bronze 3 should probably just learn to play Malphite or Nautilus in Top/Mid/Jungle because hard engage is a lot better than a champion that requires a semi decent skill cap.

GA because you can't do damage if you're dead and unless you're so good at Ekko you're stomping people like Huni does you're probably going to be spending a bit of time dead on a melee-based caster. Should also be able to cheese a bit if your ultimate and GA both are up.

I'm doing Ranked as Nasus for this reason, all his weaknesses are mitigated by good engage and learning how to farm and zone properly.

...Disregard, I'm a dumb. He is good at dealing with aggressive engages, in my experience: I have won so many lanes as him because someone who should have harrased me out of my stacks kept pushing the lane and trying to fight me. After that I just counter-initate in teamfights and we win.

That sounds super frustrating for the enemy team and on those grounds I'm for it.

http://champion.gg/statistics/#?sortBy=general.winPercent&order=descend&roleSort=ADC

it could be that giving a champion 25 on-hit magic damage (+2% max HP, so another 5 damage around level 9) and double attack speed at level 9 combined with rageblade means that Kog'maw melts whatever he touches even if he's not at 5.0 attack speed before 3 items.
Remember that it was a '2% or minimum 15' before, now it's closer to 10-30 (or more).
The reason his wr was low beforehand was because the W was bugged and making him do less damage than normal.

And all you need to do to be good at Kog is press W and be within 700 range of a fight so...
I guess it's time to play the void puppy again! It's the only way to find out.
