Let's Talk Ekko Top-Lane!!!

Lets talk Ekko Topane people!

His Kit is very, very versatile and powerful: Utility: 3 slows, 2 good escapes, a stun, shield, and gap closer Damage: His Ult does tons of damage and proc-ing his passive does a good amount Laning: A few combos gives him different ways to trade, Q and W give him great zoning tools, fairly safe to ganks, and his Q is good poke and wave clear

Could he be a viable toplaner with this build? Rod of ages -> Sorc Boots -> Abyssal Scepter -> Zhonyas Hourglass -> Frozen Heart (something else? thinking cdr here people), Lich Bane??

Reasoning for this build: You want him to be more bruiser-like.... As a pure assassin top-lane in this meta is not optimal I see zhonya's having great synery due to the fact that you can zhonya's right before you die, wait for your ultimate to catch up to your current position and ult for HUGE damage right in the middle of a teamfight, healing to clean-up. Abyssal (current+reworkedPBE) works VERY well with him building into a Melee "bruiser" that can last in teamfights

Possible reasons against Ekko in the Top-Lane: Teleport - Does he have enough impact when teleporting into teamfights? How about flank-homeguard teleports? this would affect his split-pushing potential as well. If he gets behind in the early game can he still be relevant???

I'd also like to discuss any Jungle synergies he might have!

PLEASE DO NOT discuss his Mid-Lane viability! Lets get posting guys :D
