Only pros can do at least something with full AP Ekko, while tank Ekko is still a cancer. Maybe if Ekko had less things in his kit and was easier to play, he could be made more balanced... I wonder...
Rımuru Tempest2 votesthey fail AP Ekko because they played Tank Ekko, simple as that. They played him Tanky and thats the reason WHY they think that they still can yolo in , kill the adc / mid and just ult out. They are too slow to execute the power of AP ekko.

I feel Ekko's issue is less about "kit has lots of things and is sort of complex" and much more "Ekko's kit has amazing tools for a tank and mediocre tools for an assassin"
Self-healing, HP shields, AoE stuns, jumping into the middle of an enemy team for AoE damage, and short dash to get you there: sounds a lot like Shen, Sejuani, Zac, or Nautilus. Ekko is much more a tank with the aesthetic of an assassin than he is an assassin that's abusing tank items.
As Ekko's short-range dash is pretty much the only thing that supports a melee assassin play style (where you build pure-damage and survive via speed, or "never stop moving"), he's got the same incentive to build glass-cannon DPS as tanks like Shen, Sejuani, Zac, and Nautilus. I wouldn't expect AP damage builds on those tanks to do well either.
