Lower the cooldown of ekkos passive (vs monsters.) from 5 seconds back down to 3 (nerfed during tank ekko top, abusing passive through sheer amounts of defense and health, this nerf indirectly hit jungle ekko hard by decreasing his clear speeds drastically.. that's almost double the cooldown, and when you're just sitting autoing minions for 90% of the early game.. that's huge. Ekko also got numerous hits to his base stats, his win rates are mediocre at best, mid being his best, sitting at 21/47, but jungle 48/52 .. that's extremely bad. top is below average at a 38/56 out of top laners. This is a champion that has a decent/average playrate and consistently low winratios across the board for each of his roles. As a previous ekko main please do something to make atleast one role more consistent. I'm a high plat / low diamond player .. i know that's not great but i qualify for my say meaning something, according to the Riot rules on balance posts.item 3070

Ekko support is weak. We should fix that too. Ekko ADC is also weak. We should fix that. I mean Ekko should just be everywhere. lol

He has a slow, an AOE stun, and tower dive potential via ult, whether you build ap or tank you can take quite a few shots, then ulti out after a kill or two. It's just that through the numerous nerfs to top lane tank ekko from months ago it hurt the jungle ekkos clears dramatically, and jungle ekko was NEVER. cancerous or a problem. but you literally never see it anymore. his kit is geared more towards jungling in my opinion, if his passive was back to 3 seconds he would shred through camps, AOE reigns supreme in the current jungle meta, ekko has that in his spammable Q. it's just between all the base ad/armor nerfs and the nerf to his passive his clears are sluggish at best. A lee sin can clear 3 camps and gank quickly, while being healthy. ekkos clears are slow and he comes out half hp after 3 camps. And now with the people at riot being crazy about buffing camps its just making it that much harder. I played full ap ekko jungle into diamond, that's how i achieved diamond for the first time. during the season of all the band wagon tank ekko top kids i was playing full ap in the jungle and got diamond in my 2nd season of play.. i just wish i could pick him in the jungle viably again

Buffing a champion because his alt role is week isn't how balance works. You don't see any dank middlesticks buffs on the PBE.
