822Ekko
Ekko heavily out-damages Volibear by 149 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Volibear should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Ekko's sustained damage advantage take over.
