Early game (levels 1–5)

Ekko's Timewinder is a genuine skillshot threat that stuns on the return, and his W lets him dive in for burst you simply can't out-trade at levels 1-2. Any Q whiff from you gets punished hard since he has both mobility and burst to capitalize instantly. Play max-range farming, respect his stun windows, and don't contest waves — his all-in potential from level 3 onward is severe and you have no reliable counter-engage yet.
