Locke vs Ekko Matchup Summary
The Locke vs Ekko matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 27 recent matches analyzed, Locke wins with a 59.3% win rate compared to Ekko's 40.7%, giving Locke a 18.5 percentage point advantage. Locke dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Ekko players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential.

Locke players can confidently pick into Ekko and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Ekko away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
