Why do all the pros still build tank/triforce ekko?

Didn't his scalings get buffed into oblivion and his base damage nerfed a lot, so why are pros still building tanky triforce builds? Is Tannky triforce still better?

Ekko can reliably proc item 3078 whenever it is up late game. This really ups his damage. It's like Irelia actually. Usually she builds item 3078 then full tank. However, Ekko's cool down on Q the way it is allows him to abuse item 3078 way better than her even. She also doesn't have his AoE stun (her's is easier to land though) nor does she have the safety / mobility of his ultimate. He also has a slow (his Q, passive, and W), percent health damage, a dash and blink. Irelia does have a resetting Dash though.

Because it's safe. The same reason Vladimir statistically sucks but high ELO players make it work.
