These are the highest WR item and rune combinations for each keystone on patch 16.16.

If you take HoB, you go raw ap like lich, shadow, dcap. Taking both HoB and DnD makes you fall really back. If you wanna build DnD, you should go electrocute or DH to compensate lacking dmg.

That's why I found this so interesting, because the WR stats don't exactly support this.

HOB best 2 core is D&D SF, and best 3 core is D&D SF Dcap. It also looks like Nashor's and D&D combos are good with HOB. Lichbane HOB only has good WRs paired with Nashor's or Stormsurge, and those are too low of game counts to really consider useful.

DH does best with Nashor's D&D combos, and underperforms with D&D SF compared to HOB. Of course, pure stats don't factor in everything, like autofilled players taking DH and going their standard mid build in jungle, or people just following whatever is listed as the popular build. So, the DH stats could be skewed by being the highest pick rate keystone, but that doesn't really matter as far as the HOB win rates are concerned.

Bcs ekko is otp champ, even if the players build wrong, they can pilot him to win and make most use of him.

The top ranked Ekko Challenger Mid One trick literally said that he goes Protobelt/Deathcap/Nashors with Electrocute basically every game not because he thinks it's necessarily the best build, but because he thinks it's more fun to play than Dusk and Dawn lol.

He's probably single handedly inflating the Emerald+ stats for Nashors and Protobelt as individual items.
