It's so hard for Ekko to survive in mid lane

A good can usually always beat a good Ekko. And nearly all of them have a better early game than him... and late game. Why would anyone play if you could play one of these champs? Sure, Ekko's late game is wonderful, but it doesn't seem fair that other champs can have an equally strong late game while also having a strong early game. Don't buff his early game because that would make him broken. Buff his late game so it's more rewarding to make it past the laning phase. Just like . Thanks for listening.

Kassadin has no waveclear and can’t trade pre-6. Ekko excels at short burst trades and has plenty of wave clear. His early game is okay, not great. His mid game is really good and he has a good late game too.

Yes, a few champs counter ekko - but usually it’s not too difficult to play around. Also in some matchups you HAVE to be aggressive and go for E - Q - auto run away trades which you win. Otherwise you will get slowly choked out by someone like Cassio.

Oh yeah, you're right. But I'm just saying that it's not fair that some champs can beat Ekko in the late game and also match his late game.

Kassadin is a specific counter to Ekko.

Sometimes it is just that way.
