Wouldn't this directly oppose to your argument that Ekko had TMI?
I was wrong EoD and Ekko said he‘ll take charge today.
Ekko supported Alexis a lot.
Ekko is the stronger player and since he didn’t mislynch scum would expect him to have more pull today.
So if he’s Town and him/Alexis have good directions he would always die over him. Nobody cares about Alexis‘ reads most of the time.
So I think they killed Alexis so either Ekko pushes his reads or Ekko is scum and wants to justify his directions by killing Alexis.
