League of Legends (LoL) Question: Hextech Gunblade of Ekko, is it good or bad?

I don't think it's great. Lich Bane gives overall better benefits.

Lich Bane like everyone previously stated is the better choice. As a late game item for the spellvamp and extra burst through the active it lets you duel tanks and squishies (since your passive forces you to aa you lower the hextech active cooldown.)

tl;dr lich bane as a rush, hextech maybe as a 6th item but not every game, situational IMO.

Imo it's a nice choice when you're hard countered at mid for some extra sustain, but it's so expensive and dunno if it should be enough efficent. However, I may try it.

It's good but compared to other items you could build on Ekko it only is mediocre. Besides if you abuse your passive, E and ult you won't even need it.

Hey IPodPulse !

Right now, Ekko has very high ap ratio's on his spells.

That means that spell vamp is going to give you back a lot more health than life steal will

So the optimal choice for stealing health right now would be Will of the ancients.

Gun blade does provide the same amount of ap wota does, but gun blade is also more expensive.

Getting the spell vamp early will have a poor effect since it is only really effective when you have a large amount of ap.

The active on the gunblade is nice, but with traditional items and a wota you wont be needing the extra 150 + some damage.

the attack damage from gun blade could be useful in the future when his ap ratio's are nerfed. but for now i would stick with wota if you want to choose a healing item on ekko.
