The only good AP junglers are broken ones

Ekko should really be a laner I think. They probably keep him in the jg bc he is one of the best ap jglers and they dont have many viable ap jgs. Its still dumb af. He was supposed to be a champ that makes you feel like you outplayed your opponent, but everyone builds him as this super sticky tank that does too much dmg early on.

Thats not really balanced, but if they nerf his base dmg (they already did) then his mid game will be 0 and his identity will be broken and they wont do that. So they leave him as is: a shitty midlaner, a shitty assassin jg, and a great cc tank with stupid dmg before 30 min, and terrible uninteresting build paths. I cant think of one good reason, other than the paucity of ap jglers, that ekko is allowed to do this shit. I feel like the tank build is sucking power balance away from his laning phase.

Riot needs to give up on ap jglers. They r too dependant on lvl 6. WW. Malaphite. Akali. Diana. All suck before lvl 6 and the jungle keeps you out of the exp race. Its never going to happen. The only good ap jglers are broken ones.
