Can we all just agree that ekko should be a skirmisher and balance him like one?

I know people like to play him as an assassin, but everything in his kit is built for a bruiser.

He would play more like a Diana or an irelia as opposed to a bursty assassin, but that's what's most successful on him anyway.

If not, we really do need to make his cc scale with ap, because now ekkos are getting triforce into tank and winning instead of ibg.

Can we all agree that 'skirmishers' and 'divers' and whatever other "class names" are stupid?

The only thing that even allows Ekko to be a decent skirmisher are his passive and his W passive. He was intended to be an assassin, but people still build him with tanky AP items or as a true tank because his W passive is busted. And I don't care what you think about Diana or what Riot says about her, the bitch is an ASSASSIN. Just because she relies on auto attacks more than most assassins, that doesn't make her a fighter/skirmisher. She still melts squishy targets just as well as any other assassin.

If you think about Ekko in the same way, you'll understand that he's still an assassin. His combo just takes longer to execute because he relies on autos to activate his W passive damage and because a tanky AP item won't give you as much burst as a true damage item like a Deathcap.

Ekko(along with a lot of new champs) honestly should just be removed, they are overloaded and for the most part crowd out the champion pool.

Do I have to be the one to point out that Diana was intended to be an AP fighter (as you said) but that she's played as an Assassin >.>. More or less the opposite of Ekko.
