DO NOT PLAY EKKO TO LEARN THE GAME UNLESS YOU ARE GOING TO FULL MAIN HIM!
His ultimate gives him unparalleled safety that almost no other champion has. You won;t get the option to R to live with a lot of other champions, making you probably overall more aggressive than need to be when playing other champions.
Once you have learned the mechanics, however, Ekko is GREAT for learning more complex mechanics such as Predicting and such. He is also a decent champion to main since he is almost guaranteed to be good in about any position. Don't be the Ekko ADC though. Don't be that guy.
I understand where you're coming from. It makes sense but still, I learned the game by playing ZED. Right after playing khazix to level 3, my journey to level 30 was mostly by zed. Ekko came in whenever I need some change/ want jungle or top. And I really think that he will get much better experience with Ekko because he doesn't want to LEARN how to play the game, he wants to GET BETTER. Usaully getting better generally means more experience, so I may be wrong too.
