I fought a full tank Ekko in top lane yesterday.

I'm not sure what level he was (I was with friends who were smurfing) but he had grasp so I assumed he was max level. I was Sion, which normally Ekko would dance around.

He did dance, but he couldn't kill me. In fact, it looked like I was winning trades the longer they went on. After rushing visage, his attacks didn't do enough damage to really hurt me and his lack of MR made my E and sunfire hurt more (tip for you "tank" assassins. Counterbuild your opponents main source of damage. Don't just put on "OP" items and expect to face roll).

Riot, you did a great job with the tank Ekko nerfs. He was still annoying, but he wasn't a massive damage threat.

I hope you can fix the other "tank" assassin builds as such.

The thing is before and after the nerf, tanky Ekko cant exactly kill other champs easily. If Ekko was building items like item 3165 , item 3285 and item 3089, he would have no problem. Having a tanky Ekko just means that kill him would be more annoyingly difficult. I won't doubt that the changes made to Grasp and Ekko made a bit of a difference, but Sion is just as hard to take down as a tanky Ekko (if not, harder).
