I get it, but I hold ekko to a standar similar to you, ultra, Orca, fuji, and a few others.
Let me ask you this, if fuji was playing a game and came into the thread and said as a matter of fact
"Kills can't be redirected"
Not for just this specific game but as a thought about mafia in general.....
How would you react, what would you think?
Could muugen/ekko be sk or hostile indy, sure. The only thing I know here is, that was a straight lie ekko made with no town motive to do so, which puts him as hostile indy, sk, or mafia
