Well Ekko got some of the most horryfyingly effective combo spells of them all. Good thing Chronobreak and Paralel Convergence aren't spells you have direct access to.
Yeah i feel like its fair - it seems they are both needed to be created and put into the deck. Having that much delay/unreliablity doesnt seem too unfair.
Yea, he is supposed to be 17 year old, who experienced death of his close friend and well, still lives in hard reality of Zaun, but he is sounding like careless 15 year old from Piltover.
@Random Username He is still rather optimistic, he is confident in his abilities and a cocky about them. He want best for Zaun and want to be a part of its growth. But he is does not sound as care free as here. There is also anger at Piltover and Piltoverans. He knows that changing time can't always fix everything. He knows his limitations (even if he sometimes overestimates his chances).
Ekko's one of my favorite champions in League so I'm glad they managed to do a beautiful job porting his theme here. Too bad that couldn't get the old voice actor. The new one sounds too young compared to the old one.
Saame, i love him and everything looks great and the new interactions but hearing him use league quotes feels so out of play, i love his league voice, came up first as i got him in aram before i even knew anything else and i just- i liked him instantly to try and main him. They did a great job.
@@tonysmith9905 Listen to his original trailer 'Seconds' and then listen to this trailer again. You cannot tell me the acting quality is even in the same ballpark. Nothing really against this new VA, it's just a tough act to follow.
When Ekko is asking "What's up Shomi? Liking the new board?" I immediately thought he was talking about a new board in-game. Nice meta-reference to the digital game. The animations of the level-up and of the various abilities are out of this world. I love the character, I love his design, I love the theme of the deck, his interactions with the other cards, I love everything about this video. Well done design team. Now I have to wait for 12-year-old Mogwai to lose his sh#% and rewatch the trailer a couple of times.
I'm almost on the verge of tears... I've been waiting for ekko since bilgewater when I first saw him in the piltover cinematic. This showcase, his cards, THE GODDAMN THEME, I'm so pumped.
You know, one thing I love about these trailers is that they showcase the new champs playing against actual meta decks, and gameplay isn't painfully staged either. Big props for that. It really helps sell the champ design.
The reksai trailer was against a Taliyah/landmark deck, one of the slowest archetypes is the game. It still looked cool, but landmarks aren't quite meta.
@@Nwordsoup The Taliyah buff will help with that. In a deck where most of your landmarks have countdown and you're actively incentivized to pop them, having a landmark when Taliyah attacks to get her better skill was surprisingly hard. Now it should be much easier.
It's harm to get the same VA Because of the pandemic and im pretty sure th VA did his best so it's still fine to me as long as will make the game more "FUN"
I hate how they're teplacing every VA. These new voices don't sound good at all. Ekko and Taliyah were both supposed to be really young but chill ppl but that calmness is not in their new voices. Taliyah legit sound horrible and Ekko is meh.
@@faceless8424 Taliyah sounds like an earth bending Lux definitely, but Ekko just sounds like a younger version of himself. I just hope it wasn't a conscious decision to replace them and has to to with the state of the world making it harder for original VAs to be used.
Ekko is 17 years old + all the days/months/years? from reliving some moments. His friend died on his watch, what left the scar on his frivolous nature. He is living in harsh reality of Zaun, where kids should mature faster. He may be mischievous teenage boy. But he also knows reality. I think LoR version is sounding too immature for his lore.
He could be younger, LoR has a habbit of showing things in the past like Ezreal wearing his old outfit. signfiying he is 16-18 not his current age of 20. There's a lot of hints suggesting some thing are literally their past pre-legends state and the level ups be them becoming the champion, we don't know if all of this is presently happening. it's weird. their timelines inconsistent. I'm glad to see a more playful side of him but i agree, his voice especially in contrast to his league voice sounds too young. I miss all the tonal indicators on his old voice.
The developers have already clarified that the cards in lor are represented at a time of their life which can be the past for example malphite is in Targon while in the present of the game he moved to Piltover and was born in ixtal
He also rallies... My new double favourite champion.

I like the part where he answers Nasus, showing that he had fought him before and lost. And he had to go back in time to fight again, until he won.

Ekko's Chronobreak + Zilean's Level 2 Effect: Endless Chronobreak

Not endless, but you can use it twice.

Cool now your entire board can do a free attack and not just the blades
Ohh shhiiitttt
Its a token card, must be created and then drawn later, i think that constitutes being pretty powerful
At least he has to build up to it. Instead of it happening a billion times in like three turns
There's a difference between burst rally (blade dance) than the normal rally we have. I think you can see which one is toxic.
Jinx Draven aggro deck just got even scarier...
You thought the new Level Up animations took long?
Get ready for 30 predictions each game.
the most annoying one is that eternity time gap between the two cards draw of glimpse beyond

LoR happend during the timeline before J4 was a king and Senna captured in Tresh's Lantern so it's make sense if Ekko sounds younger
