Arcane Last Stand Ekko

Saw a streamer absolutely demolish with this skin last week and had to see what the hype was about. After around 50 games with Arcane Last Stand Ekko, I'm genuinely impressed by how different it feels compared to other Ekko skins. The W animation is noticeably cleaner when you're trying to zone in lane, and the Q projectile feels easier to track during chaotic teamfights. Coming from True Damage Ekko, this one just hits different when you're popping off.

The ult is where this skin really shines though. That rewind animation is probably the smoothest I've experienced, making those clutch tower dives way more satisfying. Just yesterday I was getting ganked bot side near dragon pit, threw my W behind their jungler, and the ult snap back was so crisp I actually landed the stun perfectly. My ADC typed "that skin diff" in chat and honestly, they weren't wrong. The E dash also has this subtle trail that makes it easier to track where you've been, which sounds minor but helps a ton when you're fed and bouncing between targets.

Is Arcane Last Stand Ekko worth it compared to other Ekko skins? For the 1350 RP price point, absolutely. It's not quite pay to win, but the visual clarity improvements are real. The recall animation alone is insane with all the time fragments floating around. My experience with Arcane Last Stand Ekko has been nothing but positive, and I'd recommend it to any Ekko main looking to upgrade from base or older skins. But if you already own PROJECT or True Damage, maybe wait for a sale unless you're a collector.
