remember someone writing before the release of these episodes that Ekko would not save anyone even using his device. And? He didn't save anyone, did he?
@@SirZuboI mean that I saw a comment from a person who wrote that Ekko will not save anyone with his device and will not become a hero (this was before the release of Act 3). But as we see, he also saved someone. Personally, I always believed in Ekko and knew that he would live up to his nickname “the boy savior”.
My favorite part about this scene is when Viktor says, "That device can't be." Which means Ekko and Heimerdinger literally created something that CANNOT EXIST in their world. That's why when the strands of light started coming down from the sky, it missed Ekko. He is literally living "out of time." He's a ghost to Viktor's gaze because he and Jayce are the only two that have been "touched" by the arcane. It just goes to show that if he didn't return from the wild rune, his world would have been destroyed. He unironically saved the world.
I don't think being touched by the arcane is what made them invisible to the light strands, rather it was being touched by the wild rune (otherwise Mel would've been safe). It definitely makes more sense than the strands missing him because he was unconscious.
@@JuanSolo9 When Jayce returned from the wild rune, Viktor said that he was "also touched by the arcane." I was just using his terminology, but I agree it's specifically the fact that he entered the wild rune that saved him.
I don't think that this device cannot be made in their world. It is simply beyond Victor skills/imagination. Ekko, Heimerdinger and Powder were smarter then Hextech "god".
@wojciechwerner8787 I think it's a type of symbolism that it "cannot be." As in, Jinx, Heimerdinger, and Ekko would never have (in this world) worked together to create it. It also is a form of technology that was created by the combined efforts of a Piltover and Zaun. I don't think it's so much that it literally cannot be, but that with Viktor's godly intellect and understanding of the arcane, he could never have imagined this device was possible.
After this if jayce didnt talk to victor to stop this madness nothing would have happened. The mask was about to close back on Viktor , literally wasnt injured at all. And also if Viktor didnt send jayce back to stop himself jayce couldnt have talked to Viktor to stop this . Ekko is one part of the puzzle , stating that its “not even close “ is a BIG REACH.

@@poti732ekko's performance made way for jayce to shine though. they wouldn't even had a fighting or bargaining chance if it werent for ekko. so yes even if they defeated viktor with their collective effort, if you had to give the mvp title to someone itd go to ekko.
It's because he saw Jinx's grin symbol in the clouds and went "Aw hell no" and did his own version of pulling pulling out a grenade to take his opponent with him. The man wore Jinx's X symbol across his heart when he went into battle. It's pretty clear where he was drawing his strength, whom he was unwilling to give up on again.
I never realized it, Ekko is using his Weapon from the Actual Game. His weapon is a Hand of a Clock. Holy shit, what a god damn character design choice. Not just for the Show, but the game as well.
0:50 dude that moment when he’s just on the ground surrounded violently struggling. You can tell this man is pure determination. No fear. He just knows he needs to win. I’d imagine others would feel fear, panic. For him it’s pure rage. The. BEAST. Best character no questions asked
0:26 Remember.. Ekko can still received any injuries he had when he reverses time Meaning he tanked that fucking hit and kept pushing through. Absolute legend
remember someone writing before the release of these episodes that Ekko would not save anyone even using his device. And? He didn't save anyone, did he?
Seeing him took care of the people and create something beautiful place that heimerdinger found it wonderful. I knew he's really the wonderboy of the series...
I love that the way his rewind works incentivizes both an in-game playstyle and what he goes for in this fight; he needs to go as fast as possible in order to make it have any effect because of the short limit, and the damaging effect on his R is added once he commits to breaking the limit.
I love how they integrated alot of his ingame things His sword which is literally just a sharpened clocktower hand And him using his ult chronobreak via pushing past the 4 second limit to explode
bro helped with objectives, went to help adc who was inting and talked them back, provided support everywhere, then helped top defeat the fed enemy mid. MVP
@@XaldinX It's more that Ekko sort of fills the same narrative role Miles did in his comic appearance. He would be an interesting character in his own right, but he's so overshadowed by Jayce and other plotlines that he really has very little role to play. I note that he never even met Viktor before this moment.
I like that it's a reference to their original concept for his ultimate. Originally, the explosion would occur where he starts from before teleporting backwards, but ultimately it was changed to be at the end instead. This was before it got in player hands and was just explained a long time ago.
i think it’s even more impressive that we saw earlier in the season that jayce and mel struggled against ONE of those robot minions because of how strong they are. We’ve also established Mel can easily overpower squads of trained noxus soldiers while jayce with his upgraded mercury hammer is a force to be reckoned with as well. Ekko basically avoided the entire legion by himself and saved the world within seconds.
Aside from the z-drive coming in clutch, Ekko was literally the only one who managed to deal with an unkillable robot army (at least for a short while)
He's the one who saved this timeline... he reverse time for jayce not to turn fully... and jayce able to show his memory about the future The boy savior!
Ekko does not have many scenes, but he sure make his appearances count. He just came in like a time lord and tore up everything 😍😁. He should be on the council! The boy saviour indeed!
The only thing that surprises me is that all the credit for the victory is given to Ekko when it was ultimately a team effort. What Ekko managed to do was give Victor a lucid moment to listen to what Jayce had to say. Practically, without Jayce there, what Ekko achieved would have been… giving Victor a wound? And without Ekko there, everything would have ended up just like in Jayce's vision. Give some credit to the guy who had to live for quite a while in a Fallout-style universe, only to end up sacrificing himself alongside his best friend for the good of all Runeterra.
this is true, though I think what happened was Viktor "went back in time" when he got hit by the Z-drive so that his old (alive) self came back. But yes, if it wasnt for Jayce, he would probably go back to him being a god
I think if jayce and victor didnt work together everybody wouldve died when the anomaly exploded. victor and jayce managed to contain it so it caused no damage and they dissapeared. if that was not the case I think the world wouldve ended up like the wasteland jayce saw since its clear an explotion happened there and not victor pupeteering everyone.
His clutch up was crazy and the fact he left a perfect world to save hid world and the fact he changed time while he hold by the puppets shows how goated of a character he is
In the prior times he rewinded he never actually caused any explosions. However, in the game his ult “Chronobreak” is just that- an explosion caused after rewinding time. Literally saved the world with his in game ult
When Victor succeeded in taking control of everyone, Ekko was the only one not beeing controlled by him. I'm wondering why? There were three lines going into the area where Jinx and Vi fought Vander/Warwick but Ekko did not get controlled. Initially I thought, it's because he came back from a different timeline, but it's still the real Ekko from the current timeline, right?
I'm going to guess it has more to do with the fact he's got another mini-hexcore strapped to his back--especially given what happened when he chucked it at Viktor.
the only difference here is that ekko was here to save the day, this was the ONLY universe where they won against Victor because he gave Jayce the rune that ekko used to invent time travel. Victor gave Jayce the opportunity to have the position to be the main character but Ekko stole that spot

GOAT EKKO
He was the one who started it by telling Vi and company about Jayce's laboratory and the hextech crystal. And he was the one who ended it. MVP
Ekko stood on business throughout both seasons, GOATED FR
i love how they told us in season 1 that hes the boy savior, but it wasnt until the conclusion that the audience is able to understand it.
Viktor said Destiny is predetermined but here's your Boy Savior rewriting Destiny.

not sure about that, but it's maybe because Ekko was KO at this time.
I like to think that it's because he was resistant to him because of the fact that he "created" his own anomaly in the other universe.
I'm going to guess it has more to do with the fact he's got another mini-hexcore strapped to his back--especially given what happened when he chucked it at Viktor.
I thought it was because he is unconsisous at that time.
He touch the arcane
He save the world, but he lost his world.
He saved the world, lost the love of his life (jinx) and is still alone
Lets be honest, any other champion would have stayed in the better universe. He is the opposite of the deadbeat dad Jayce , the boy saviour.
The Boy Who Shattered Time!!! You go MY MAN!
He save the World
But He also lost His World
I love how Ekko gives his now-overloaded time rewinder one last pull before throwing it at Viktor. "See you in HELL!" vibes
I lost my mind when i saw the clock hands.
"HE IS FUCKING UNLOCKED."
Loved the music! but for me i think the one on his champion theme will suit this scene as well
As always ekko farming all the early game (s1) only to carry late game and take all the objectives 🗿

Ekko: BA FUCKIN ZINGA.
"Well, well, look who it is...
The boy savior!"

nah ekko fr the goat best personality n moves
The green comet passing in the cosmic but immobilistic sight of Viktor may last less than a second, but it's so powerful
The song is "The Challenger" and it is nasty AF. hoping some youtube mixers will make some awesome covers without the quiet gap
I knew Ekko would find a way to manipulate time when he realized he was transported to another dimension
"Little man" threw a time bomb at the main villian
he's just him
A lot of people missed his eyes turned back brown when he lifted the chain. Bro was fighting indoctrination with his life.
the most impressive thing is that he's just a human
Viktor always won until ekko shattered time which was due to the acceleration rune he gave
Ekko is the GOAT fucking undisputed
Bro saved the world for not so much as a thank you
Even technically saving everyone,sadly he’s barely acknowledged
