Why does 
have more armor that 
at lvl 18.? So one with that much ranged damage late game shouldn't have higher armor than any melee.
78 armor at lvl 18
86.5 armor at lvl 18
81 armor at lvl 18
82 armor at lvl 18
81 armor at lvl 18
87 armor at lvl 18
81 armor at lvl 18
86 armor at lvl 18
etc..
TL; DR Ekko is melee and has one ranged ability his armor scaling should be better than ranged mages.
Ekko has a shield. And Ekko has higher base HP than Veigar.
At level 18, Ekko has 78 Armor. This is 43.8% physical resistance.
At level 18, Veigar has 86.3 Armor. This is 46.3% physical resistance.
For every 200 physical damage, Ekko will be taking about 5 more points of damage than Veigar.
At level 18, Ekko has 1940 HP, and Veigar has 1887 HP.
Ekko has 3453 effective physical HP, and Veigar has 3515 effective physical HP.
Now, which champion has a shield, a heal and two escapes?
Ekko has an advantage in mobility, his shield, the heal on his ultimate, health, and health regen.
8 armor at max level on a squishy champion isn't really as useful as the above.
Subject of Title: Veigar Subject of TLDR: Ekko
Viktor has 91 armor at 18... Must be all that metal
You have to compare with health too, effective health is more important than individual armor or health.
