Just level him out, don't make his ap stronger in trade for tank being weaker just keep his ap as strong as it is now while nerfing tank, please don't compensate buff as tank Ekko should never of been a thing to begin with.
Privileged Jew2 votesI want to see Ekko reduced to urgot-level playrates for all of the shit he's put me through this season.

Maximum Morde1 votesChange his three hit passive to steal some gold from the enemy instead of damaging them. Like 5-10 gold
Meep Man2 votesWhy?
Maximum Morde1 votesCause he's from the slums and steals ur wallet. Like Aladdin.
Hethalean1 votesI agree. The funny thing to me is that a while back after he came out. Tank Ekko Jg was a thing when Cinderhulk was big, so they nerfed his tanking. This subsequently caused him to stop being played really. I don't even think that they buffed him between then and now. How did Tank Ekko even return? Did they buff tank items and I didn't notice?
Monkey D Luffy1 votesTbh he'll still be played tank, the changes aren't that bad

Tbh he'll still be played tank, the changes aren't that bad
probably but the changes are actually quite significant. 2% missing health per auto off his W until 200 AP, E damage lowered by 30 evening out at roughly 150 AP. 200 AP isn't that hard to hit and the numbers themselves arent that hard of nerfs, but on top of those grasp of the undying being nerfed from 3% to 2.5% and frozen fist being nerfed from 125% base ad to 100% base ad. All 4 of those nerfs will definitely bring him in line.
Hethalean1 votesI thought the % missing HP "nerf" was on his Passive not his W, and they buffed it to scale 1% per 33 AP up from 1% from 50 AP. Ekko is a rare tank that seemed to benefit from buying a Mejai's and getting 25 stacks. He's fairly hard to kill when building tank so he should be able to get and keep those stacks.
We will see. % hp damage on kits usually lends itself to building tank.
His kit is just pretty loaded (1 slow, 1 MS buff, 1 blink, 1 dash, 1 stun, 2 AoE slows, 1 big shield, 1 AoE stun, a decent heal, a small untargetable, a restrictive teleport/blink thing, a couple sources of % hp damage). That is a lot of CC and utility which is all great things you want in your tanks. It's probably a beast to balance to be a utility assassin instead of a disruptive teamfight tank.

the passive is on his W, and yes they buffed it to scale with 33ap per % but they also nerfed the base % by 2 also just listing a kit in that way makes any kit sound overloaded. %pen, 1slow, 1 Attack speed steroid, 1 Crit steroid, 1 knockup, 1 heal, 1 aa reset, 1 knockback, 1 aoe slow, 1 dash, 1 resistance buff. "That's xin btw."

They buffed him multiple times in base damage ways, lowered his Q cd by 2 seconds and lowered his E cd early by 1 second
Hethalean1 votesOh, so I just wasn't paying attention. ha! Thanks!
Zorasama1 votesThey buff AP ratio because they still want AP Ekko to be viable. Full AP Ekko is already not that good to begin with.
Billy VoHagen1 votesIt's literally the exact same thing as with fiora and yi, they are fine now.
Monkey D Luffy1 votesThey really aren't.
