Ekko's W

If it was a bit bigger, then yes, probably.

Bard ult can't help objectives, has 1/3 the range, can't stasis teammates

Uh, you might want to check that sentence.

It only affects enemies and you can actually attack people who are stunned unlike Bard who just puts the enemy (and sometimes he accidentally catches teammates too) into time out for a second or two so they can catch their breath and recharge cooldowns. Ekko can reliably use his W in teamfights and not be restricted as to where and when he can use it without screwing his team over. It's on a 22 to 14 second cooldown available at the start of the game, as opposed to Bards 130 to 90 second cooldown available only at level 6.

People talk all the time about hypothetical Bard ults that can save objectives, but in reality Bards ult never really does anything those situations and it usually just delays the inevitable. The only Bard ults I've seen make any meaningful difference is when it was used to catch a single person out alone in the jungle for a kill.

Honestly I see Ekko's W being more impactful on a game than Bards ult could ever dream of being. Ekko has enough AOE slows in his kit that he could actually probably do a better job as a support than Bard currently can.
