New League of Legends champ Ekko now available

Ekko, the Boy Who Shattered Time, is finally available for play in League of Legends. 

Revealed earlier this month, Ekko is described as "a powerful skirmishing assassin who thrives in extended fights, using his mobility and crowd control to slow and stun enemies as he whittles down his targets. And if he starts to lose a fight, the brilliant boy from Zaun can rewind time a little and try again." I haven't played him yet, but he looks freaking badass. You can read all about his abilities here.

For those more intrigued with Ekko's design and lore, Riot Games recently put out a short comic detailing his backstory. Not only is the art fantastic, but the story is actually pretty emotional, so definitely check it out.

Ekko can be purchased from the in-game League of Legends store for 975 RP. You can also grab the Ekko launch bundle, which includes his alternate Sandstorm Ekko skin, for 1462 RP. For those who prefer not to spend RP, Ekko can be had for 7800 IP at launch.
