Ekko needs a small buff (In my opinion)

I've been playing some Ekko recently, mostly as a jungler but a few games were played as a mid. The problem is that Riot has smashed tank Ekko into the ground with nerfs, making the only option ap assassin Ekko. This would be fine if assassin Ekko was effective, but he isn't. Even if you land your stun, hit your E and Q, auto, use your protobelt or whatever you bought, the enemy will almost always live with a good amount of their hp, usually around 1/4, and then if that enemy is fed they'll just turn around and kill you while your abilities are on cooldown. Sure you could ult away, but it hardly makes things better, just means that your target will recall and your ult will be down in a teamfight. Speaking of teamfighting, Ekko is pretty bad at it, the chance that an enemy holds still long enough to be stunned is minimal, and the second that you go in for the enemy carry you'll be crowd controlled and killed before you can ult. And so I propose that Riot either brings back tank Ekko (Obviously not as strong as it was before the nerfs) or just give ekko some better scaling or base damage. Then again, I'm just some random Silver 5 garbage from NA, and high elo players will probably read this post and laugh at my ignorance, but I really enjoy Ekko's concept and his mechanics, and it really sucks that he has to feel so weak as a champion.

I think most people are going to tell you that is an absolutely ridiculous statement.

Ekko needs a mini-rework like Fiora and Shen got
