Lich bane 1st is just best everygame atm 2nd item nashor is defenetly more dmg than rocketbelt but in some match ups the hp and the dash from rocketbelt have alot of value Also you get rabadon 3rd 500g faster if you went rocketbelt instead of nashors tooth Both builds feels good enough that it might just depend on preference and match up but lich bane is so good its 100% best 1st item
so uhm hard to tell why exactly he started q but i can say what my reasoning is to start q sometimes in those matchups. Some players actually think about their runes and they start to take boneplating vs ekko which makes the e lvl 1 start really not optimal so i tend to take q and try to proc the bone plating first before going in on a 50/50 trade if they have it or not. Hard to tell what runes tf took here (i could watch when he presses tab if tf took resolve or not but i couldnt be bothered xD)
in the next patch ignites value goes down quite a bit since everyone will have flat health in runes instead of magic resist/armor so for next patch just go TP every game but to answer your question, you would take ignite in match ups that you believe you can kill your opponent and believe you need more dmg or healing reduction to do so I only took ignite Fizz match up since Fizz always takes ignite too and then I can actually fight back in all-ins
I think against good tf players u would want to start q because they will not usually waste w to give u a window lvl 1. Q+Scorch dmg can hit reliably tho with no risk to get some chip dmg
Xia told me portobello is just not good anymore. He doesn’t like it at all. And i feel the same. I see a lot of Ekkos on EUW still holding on to it. And i see how low damage there are compared to Xiaos build. It’s not even close. I recently tried going tank items as 4th item option like jaksho cause it’s already enough damage. Only if I don’t need the pen from void. But I can go that as lost option. Because Adcs like mf have soo much damage also and go tank items as well.
I've been running Lich into shadowflame recently and it feels really potent, have you tried it yet? for jungle.
shadowflame is underrated on ekko imo. Goes well with w passive.

when i play mid i dont know what spell to choose is it ignite or tp. How do you choose

But I recommend his build. Forget the other stuff. Get used to the playstyle und u will see the difference in power
Nice video, inspired by your content, I've crafted a custom thumbnail for one of your videos. Where can I send it for you to see? 😄
You can send it to me on Discord if you want. Name is Ekkoliner
