Ekko Jungle. Is it good?

I've heard some people say that Ekko jungle is viable. They even say that he is decent against Lee Sin. His Q seems like it would be good for jungle clears, and his E and W seem good for ganks. I was wondering what you guys have to say about jungle Ekko, as not to many people have talked about this in-depth recently. Is he good or at least decent? Ekko is one of my favorite characters lore wise, and I don't use him mid-lane as I'm better with Ahri and Katarina when it comes to the mid-lane. Could I use him in the jungle and be successful? Why or why not?

Thanks in advance!

Ekko jungle is viable but pretty weak. I'm an ex D2 ekko player, I'm currently plat 5-3 ish and have a near 60% winrate on him, so its definitely viable. His first clear is okay, with a good leash you can do buff, wolves, buff and come out at around 60% hp if you do it well, maybe even a little more. His ganking while sometimes hard to set up is incredible. This is really where ekko jungle shines as a 1.75 second stun followed up by ekkos chase is almost certain death even if the opponent flashes. 2nd buff spawn seems to be where ekko struggles the most, he doesn't haave a full jungle item so he cant kill the red / blue fast enough. He hass innate sustain on camps so he takes a lot and i mean A LOT of damage. I frequently go down to 30% hp from full on 2nd red buff.

TLDR/ Its viable, Has a good first clear, GREAT ganking potential, but then his next few clears "until about 2 items" He struggles to clear well.
