Why isnt Ekko played more?
I tried out 
in a few games and hes been suprisingly strong, kinda tanky and does a lot of damage. I don't get why people don't use him, he can roam easy, do well in teamfights, and be strong in lane.

Why play and have to setup your damage and use your brain when you can play 
build 
and delete anyone with R + auto?
Ekko is one of the more fair assassins. Everything except his E is telegraphed . Good players can easily avoid most of his stuff. That's why he isn't played more.
in decent elo,if you can't play him good,you gonna lose lane since the highest mid lane champs right now all do good against him and hes pretty bad early game,if you can actually do good with him and understand every matchup you can win alot of games tho,he's not "beyond stupid" like the guy above me said btw
He's not meta anymore, he loses so many matchups. There are champions like 
who mitigate all his damage. His Q costs too much mana and doesn't do enough. This only damage he has in his kit is hit 3 hit passive, and after you use that for a trade, you're left running back to safety while still being harrased so you're ultimately losing the trade. Also theres one part of his kit thats pretty never going to be use in lane which is his W because it costs too much mana and noone ever lands it. Let me not evenr ant about his late game refer to this post:

I've seen him a few times, he used to be really hard to learn how to counter. Once you understand his mechanics he's not too hard to beat.
He's had a series of nerfs after his release that made him feel a bit clunky. I think they reduced the range of his E or increased the delay of it's on-hit activation. Not sure. But I've played a lot of him at one point then he got nerfed and he felt different to me so I stopped playing him. I do love his lore and his trailers though. Great champion with a great background for sure.
I tried out
high Plat Ekko 1 Trick here if you want to know more about the champion feel free to hit me up.
Tbh other assassins do what he does much faster and more efficiently. He's pretty niche for the most part (which means barely anyone bans him :))
Honestly Ekko doesn't feel like an assassin, he feels more like a skirmisher.
jungle ekko isnt exactly meta but can help teams win in a lot of ways.
You clearly don’t understand all the possibilities that ekko is offering you. He has so many combos that can cancel most of animations. If someone is un his R the ennemi is dead. Easy pentakills and just by the way Im making scores of 25-7-5. He don’t use much mana. He is as much underestimated as Vel’Koz. He is ans extremely good champ. I recommend you to try him
He's surely strong , but underrated , people will realize it later , Like Lissandra for example
shhhhhh, dont bring attention to my secret op pocketpick
... the same answer too most questions of why "x champion" isnt played anymore.
sure they may be good... but their not BROKEN.
there are so many champion out there that are flat out broken. its completely impossible to ban them all. and instead of fixing them riot is just breaking more.
league is not logner a game of "pick a cvhampion u like and learn it.. good good with it, carry with it" its "picks whats OP... spend 5 games getting the general idea of how to play them, and beat anyone who isn't also on a broken champion"
Because he's relatively balanced. AP assassins are worse than AD assassins because they have to build the mage items, and unlike LeBlanc or Fizz, his burst takes time to set up and he doesn't have that much safety unless he uses his ult, which is also a massive damage option.
He's not easy.
