Ekko Jungle meta analysis (Patch 26.13)

Ekko holds a 50.5% win rate in the Jungle role on Patch 26.13, 0.3 points above the Jungle role average of 50.2%. That is the 23rd highest win rate of 44 Jungle champions tracked at Emerald+ this patch. With a 3.8% pick rate (20th most played in the role) and a 1.6% ban rate, Ekko rarely gets banned, so the pick is almost always available in champion select.

Ekko Jungle held steady at B tier through Patch 26.13, with no tier movement since the previous data merge. Stable ratings are a good sign for one-tricks: the play patterns you practice now should keep working next patch. At B tier, Ekko works best as a counter pick or comfort pick rather than a blind pick.

Champion select decides a lot of Ekko Jungle games. The hardest matchups this patch are Sylas (48.7% win rate for Ekko) and Kayn (49.8% win rate for Ekko): consider banning one or holding your pick until the opponent locks in. On the other side, Viego (52.4%) and LeeSin (51.3%) are the matchups to look for, where Ekko wins the lane more often than not at Emerald+.

Ekko Jungle guide

Ekko jungle runs a combo built on Timewinder (Q), Phase Dive (E), and the third-hit payoff of Z-Drive Resonance (passive): throw Timewinder (Q) to slow and tag a target, follow with Phase Dive (E) to close the gap and add damage, and let the passive's bonus magic damage and speed burst finish the read.

The build

Rune page: Dark Harvest, Sudden Impact, Grisly Mementos, and Treasure Hunter (Domination), with Magical Footwear and Cosmic Insight (Inspiration). Summoners: Flash and Smite. Skill order opens Parallel Convergence (W) at level 1, then maxes Timewinder (Q) first with Phase Dive (E) second. Starter: Scorchclaw Pup and a Health Potion, into Sorcerer's Shoes. Core build: Dusk and Dawn, Shadowflame, and Rabadon's Deathcap, with Zhonya's Hourglass, Dark Seal, and Hextech Rocketbelt as later options.

Ability mechanics

Timewinder (Q) expands into a slowing, damaging field on hit, then rewinds back to Ekko for a second hit after a delay. Phase Dive (E) has him roll evasively while charging his Z-Drive, then teleports him to his target on the next attack for bonus damage. Chronobreak (R) makes him untargetable and rewinds him to a point a few seconds earlier, healing off the damage taken since and hitting anyone near his return point.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Sylas, Kayn, Graves, Nocturne, Naafiri. Best matchups: Viego, Lee Sin, Jarvan IV.
