A level-by-level game plan for Ekko vs Sion.
Levels 1-2
Lane priority is decided by who wins the level 1-2 skirmish or poke exchange.
- Ekko is usually weak before level 3 — poke safely and avoid unnecessary trades.
- Sion can soak your poke easily — don't waste resources trying to out-trade durability.
- OP.GG data flags Sion as a strong counter to Ekko in this role — expect them to look for early trades, so play a touch safer than usual.
Levels 3-5
Trading windows open as skills come online — track cooldowns before you commit.
- Look for a burst window once your combo unlocks, ideally when they misplay cooldowns.
- Watch for CC chains that set up their jungler or teammates — respect their engage range.
Level 6
Ultimates come online. This is usually the first real all-in window of the lane.
- Your ultimate turns this into a real kill threat — look for all-in windows on cooldown.
- Their ultimate usually enables a hard engage — keep an escape option up once it's available.
Levels 7-11
Priority shifts toward objectives — use a lane lead to pressure river, dragon, or Herald.
- Use roams and priority to pick off isolated targets instead of forcing a straight fight.
- They'll front line for their team — focus their carries instead of the tank.
Levels 12-15
Item spikes start deciding fights more than levels do.
- Burst items complete — you should one-shot squishy targets if you land your combo clean.
- They become very hard to kill directly — punish their team instead of all-inning them.
Level 16+
Both ultimates are maxed — play for your team's win condition, not just the lane.
- Play around picks before fights start; a clean burst on their carry usually wins it outright.
- Their engage decides the fight — respect flanks and don't clump up for an easy multi-CC.
