Zed into Ekkomedium

Overview

Use Zed's early burst and mobility to punish Ekko's weaker pre-6 clears and invade safely.
Prioritize aggressive pathing and vision control around dragon and Rift Herald to deny Ekko's scaling.
Force Ekko into defensive farming by contesting river control and objective vision.

Jungle Plan

Execute full clears early and invade Ekko's jungle when he is on the opposite side or after key cooldowns.
Fight for Scuttle only when your lanes can move first to prevent Ekko's strong counter-ganks.
Use superior early burst to establish vision control and force Ekko into unfavorable fights or defensive farming.

Danger windows

Avoid invading or fighting when Ekko's is available due to his strong escape and reset.
Be cautious contesting Scuttle or river fights without lane priority since Ekko's delayed stun can turn fights.
Back off from low-health clears or forced smite fights early if Ekko is visible or lanes cannot respond.

Early game

Start with a fast full clear to reach level 3 and look for early invades on Ekko's opposite side.
Contest first Scuttle only if your nearby lanes have priority to avoid Ekko's counter-ganks.
Avoid extended river fights before level 6 to dodge Ekko's delayed stun and mobility.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks your full ++ combo; punish Ekko's weaker clears immediately.
Level 6 grants for lethal all-ins or safe disengages; track Ekko's ultimate cooldown to time aggression.
First lethality item completion boosts your damage, enabling confident invades and objective control to deny Ekko's scaling.

Win conditions

Convert early jungle pressure into dragon and Rift Herald vision control to deny Ekko's scaling.
Use ganks and counter-ganks around lanes with priority to snowball leads and force Ekko into defensive farming.
Leverage your mobility and burst to pick isolated targets before teamfights, increasing map control and objective safety.
