Ekko Needs Buffs

Please buff ekko, people say he's op but as he is, I don't even feel rewarded for playing a high skill capped champion. This is ridiculous, his q costs 100 mana and its ap ratio was nerfed by 50% in 1 patch, this was his only source of safe wave clearing WITH an insanely high mana cost. Leaving his q feeling unjustified with the mana cost. I've mained ekko since his release and honestly I've kept playing him to test new build paths and see if it was just me. 50 games later I still haven't been able to even find the slightest glimmer of hope. This champion was strong on release, he was FAR from broken though, his kit was balanced pretty well and if you were baited into an obvious to dodge ultimate than it rewarded him with kills. Now it feels with even the highest skill cap reached, it doesn't even reward the player with half as much power as a champion that has a low skillcap. This leaves the champion in a position where he's only good for PURE TANK ROLE, his damage all comes from his base stats now an not from scaling. Anyone who says he's broken still clearly is not a high elo player because in even plat games it's near impossible to land a single w in laning phase nonetheless a 4 second delay nuke. Even if people do manage to land them, as stated his damage is still not even enough to 1 shot someone unless the ekko is 10-0 and the enemy is 0-10 playing anivia. Please buff him riot, I honestly feel ekko deserves more than this because his kit is so fun to use, but there is 0 reward for mastering the champion. After the nerfs ekko went from a 49% winrate to a 43% and is STILL falling(I know winrate doesn't directly correlate to a champions strength) but that obviously proves that he took a huge hit with all nerfs and no compensation buffs. Buff his q or e ap scaling or even his utility but please bring back the reward of mastering a champion, honestly there is no reason to main him anymore simply because his kit is trash in terms of completing the role he was designed to accel in.

I agree. I've never seen a "burst" or "assassin" champion doing such irrelevant damage. even if you hit a stun you dont do any damage with ur 3 hits. i get they were trying to nerf his early game bt he does such little damage early game + hi mana cost + squishy that he isnt even able to get a kill and is easily out tradable. and his weakness seems to be adc's because if you 1v1 and get a stun after your done with your combo they have plenty of time to easily kill you. and its not like his ult is even easy to hit. its not hard to even dodge since they can see where it is and have time to dodge it wen he presses r. With this champion your going to have a hellish time if you dont go flask and and from his recommended build he seems to get alot of damage from items. He really just needs alot of balancing.
