“I see water!” “They are called tears.” Yeah, my tears with that ending. Ekko, you’re a good kid.

Everybody expects something bizarre from a champion's lore but Ekko's is what brings us down to Earth.

As someone who lost both parents, the part where he keeps rewinding time just to have a moment with his parents really hits deep

Damn....This brought tears to my eyes...Damn Piltover and Zaun for having tragic backstories.

"Try every possible pickup line to get the best first impression" LOL

From the lore, I assume, Ekko doesn't dare to try and convince his parents. Even with the z-drive. He doesn't want to see them hurt, not for a second, even if it's a second he can take back.

this was the saddest story i have ever heard

How come these hextech crystals are so common in lore but so hard to get in the actual game

Damn...Ekko is my main and i didnt know he had such a sad story...i will play him with pride now ;)

rito should release a recipe for that honey cake thing

Like Ekko did in the end, as he rewinded time, I rewinded the time like him, watching over and over the end of the story, that was so sad and beautiful at the same time :'(

Necrit. You are the only person doing this kind of videos and all us lore fans have a special place for you in our hearts. Keep up the amazing work . If possible, make a video explaining how all the piltover/zaun stories tie together. Not for you already fans but for new ones to get them into the whole lore thing !

9:09 So that's the lore explanation for how Ekko's Q works. Cool.

It makes you feel powerless when there's nothing you can do to stop poverty

0:27 " He constructed his first simple machine before he could even crawl" Gives a kid a Rubix Cube and watch him go to work.

Does this mean that ekko had infinite trys at his promos?

the lullaby story actually made me shed a tear because everything was just so genuine. the emotions the problems, the everything was just amazing

I nearly cryied listening to that story 😢😢 Ekko is my favorite champion and listening to that story always makes me emotional.

That was a really relatable, somewhat sad story. About a kid who wants to tell his parents that he has plans other than what they dream of for him but just can't bear to break it to them with how much effort they've put into trying to give him the opportunities that they couldn't have themselves.

Man Ekko is amazing

Congratulations, now I’m sad.

6:30 This is why Kindred don't like Ekko. He prevents them from "hunting" him and/or others. (And Kindred are 2 entities so "Kindred don't like" is correct :P)

That second story was so sweet it almost brought me to tears

Arcane anyone?

i just wonder how strong ekko wold be if viktor or jayce helped him in his innovations

here after Arcane ss1, they did ekko’s personality justice

A down to earth character, reminds me of spider-man. Sorta reminds me of Miles Morales.

I will personally pay rito to make a fucking movie about these lore stories. Holy fuck they are amazing.

C'mon man, you made me sweat through my eyes again ;-;

Soooo, the academy Ekko skin is a different timeline where he's in a piltover academy? Nice

EKKO's story is really sad it really makes you feel for his character

That bit at the end where he replays them coming home over and over again because he gets so little time with them. Fuck that always brings tears to my eyes

This Story I Really Like Because It Shows The True Potential Of Zaun And I Do Hope One Day Zaun Rises Up And Over Shadows Piltover.

The thing i find really intresting is that Warwick has a special interaction with ekko, saying:"rewind too far, and you'll end back in my teeth" implying ekko came into contact or fough warwick.

Best story for best champ.

such a sweet ending - I had a few tear in my eyes :3

Okay, so in Ekko's eyes, Zaun is America. Cool.

I am a simple person i see Ekko,I click

I am really glad you make these videos!It makes lore so much more fun with visuals and art pieces.

Man, that editing and your narration of the final part was amazing. Great job necrit!

As an Ekko main, I've been anticipating this for a very long time! Thank you very much!

Yeeees finally a Ekko lore video. Thank you Necrit

the feels at the end

This should be a movie

I found it strange that Victor was the one that wanted Ekko as an apprentice and Jayce was the one that basically wanted to steal his design. I would've guessed it was the other way around.

Wow, Riot outdid themselves with this one.

I am here after arcane Love that bridge scene Almost look like they are flirting haha...

am i the only one you cried at 13:35? :'(

I was tearing up when he was talking to his parents :'')

thanks necrit ! for making those videos, i can't wait for the next one!!

wow ekko is some one who hast long and sad story but it dosent seems like it is

at 3:17 you can see at the left there was a painting loking like jinx

thanks to you i know nearly all the stories in league of legends, and i can tell them to my friends, they are always asking me to do that, and its fun to do a little story telling, and thats all thanks to you necrit, you made me interested in the lore and im always excited for your next video, and ill always be... go on like that, and ill hear you in the next video

Wait what a child of zaun with the greatest invention ever still has his parents you would think riot would ruin it by killing his parents

8:38 that pun was just too much for me xD

this story made me cry so beautiful

hits different after arcane

i gotta tell you dude i read the lore for lullaby but i completely forgot about that last part. so many feels yo! keep it up! :D

ekko is my favourite champ and this lore made him much more interesting. ty necrit

Here before people flood in because of arcane

Even thought Ekko is an asshole in game with his abilities and reset button, this lore story makes me feel for him.

Ekko’s short story was not what i expected, it genuinely hits to close to home

Fire lights Leader Ekko from Arcane

FINALY THE EKKO LORE, THANKS NECRIT!

Out of all the lore stories, this one is my favorite with viktor's lore coming in second

thanks for the story telling, thanks so much

Not to be dramatic but I would die for Ekko

I need to see more of ekko on arcane 2

To be honest we all wanted to rewind the time back when we are absolutely happy 🤧

I really love stories from zaun

thanks for putting the effort in entertaining us :)

wow i never cried on any league story even really sad ones but this heartwarming moment was great one gotta appreciate his parents before they go away

Pov: you just finished arcane and want more lore

great video as always Necrit, keep up the good work :)

Great work bro keep it up i watch your videos as soon as they come out

Ekko is my favorite champ and my main so I really liked this video good job dude

Ekko had wonderful parents.

EKKO IS MY FAVOURITE CHAMP ♡♡

Damn this made me cry...

Yeah Arcane has definitely reworked ekko into a much better character. His backstory was not retconned but improved. His parents are sustituted by Benzo (that might be the biggest difference), the Firelights are a better version of The children of Zaun, more violent and robin hood like gang instead of just scrapers, he is not just one of them but the leader and the story of how he learns about the hexcrystal changed with all the vi, caitlyn and jhinx story arc. Him being a genius with inventions and little details like the mural of faces, etc... still remains which is cool. Now, the stories of how he created the time machine, how he prevented some of his friends death and the race between viktor and jayce to get the time mahcine could still happen. It might be a reach but in a future season of Arcane one of the plots could be that race between viktor and jayce to catch ekko. They didnt interact with him in season one and it would really make a lot of sense both trying to get that technology maybe to save someone? Viktor could want it to save Sky and Jayce could try to save Mel if she dies due to Jinx explosion, or to destroy the hexcore or just to weaponize it.

Great video as always Necrit!

Honestly gives a whole new light to ekko.

Such a beautiful story

Imagine if this was on Arcane's side stories

Damn bro i never thought one of this videos would make me cry

Great job friend! Really great story wow right in the feels!

I loved ekko already... This just makes you appreciate him more

Very touching lore, loved the whole thing

His cinematic already gave me goosebumps with him reverting once again to save his memory

Necrit's lore videos are about to be LIT again

So Ekko and jinx no longer knows each other right ? They should remove the "I had a crush on you" of ekko to make more sense.

I lile Zawn so much more now. Its champions are so relatable and charming. As a personal note; I like how Vik send an... "invitation" for Ekko, as he sees him for his genius while Jayce only wants his creation. So subtle yet so revealing of the two rivals. Thanks for the story.

Finally! I waited for this lore since I subscribed to this chanel. :D

When you're queued up for a ranked but there's a new lore vid

Ekko is one of my favourite champs and I think his lore is great

WOOT okay I neglected to watch this before, but this can really help with the comics. I'm surprised at how accurately I understood it before, but after this, my story just feels so fitting.

One of my first main

ma boi ekko

This... Made me cry

Was waiting for this!
